Summary

  • Hayley Hendrich said she was "shaking with anger" after seeing co-star Killian Grondin's group chat messages mocking her body during their trial marriage on The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On.
  • Killian told Netflix's Tudum that a friend wrote he was taking an "L" by going from a "big-boobed blonde to a flat-chested brunette," then added a "gang bang" remark that made the exchange worse.
  • Killian said he regretted not standing up for Hayley over the body-shaming, but also blamed her for looking at his phone, saying the fallout would not have happened if she had not "invaded" his privacy.
  • The clash unfolds in Season 4, which dropped its first 8 episodes on July 15; the finale and reunion special are scheduled for July 22.
