Married At First Sight’s Josh White hits back at Melissa Sheppard’s shocking claims

Josh White has hit back at his ex-‘wife’ Melissa Sheppard’s shocking claims about the couple’s sex life on Married At First Sight.

After being dragged through the mud by Melissa on The Kyle and Jackie Show on Monday, the advertising client director, 41, stuck up for himself Tuesday during an interview on The Pick Up with Britt, Laura & Mitch.

He said the 41-year-old hairdresser’s claims there was ‘no kissing’ during intimacy week were false, adding that she only had herself to blame for her ‘bad edit’. 

‘That’s inaccurate. There was physical intimacy during intimacy week. There were other forms of intimacy,’ Josh said when he listened back to Melissa’s brutal claims.

‘That is a complete mischaracterisation and representation of what the week was like,’ he added.

When asked if he thought Melissa’s edit on the Channel Nine show was ‘unfairly harsh’, he said she shouldn’t be ‘surprised’ by her portrayal.

‘If you give [producers] the content of the way that you act and the things you say, you can’t really complain about the edit because it’s not like it’s computer generated,’ he said.

‘Like, they don’t insert the words that you say or make you say those things. You’ve actually said them. So when it comes back to you, I don’t think you should be surprised.’

It comes after Melissa – who is in damage control after being portrayed on MAFS as callous and sex-obsessed – stunned Kyle and Jackie O listeners on Monday with her vicious spray at Josh. 

She accused her ‘ex-husband’ of being a ‘different person’ in one-on-one interviews with producers, before revealing unflattering details about their sex life.

She alleged the couple never kissed during intimacy week – despite having ‘sloppy’ sex – and also claimed they didn’t engage in oral sex.

‘It was really sloppy and messy… I wouldn’t say that was hot and heavy and intimate. It wasn’t how I imagined to have an amazing sex life with someone,’ she said.

‘There was no kissing. It was very transactional. It was just physical – that was quite awful.’

The single mum also said her portrayal as an overly demanding lover was unfair and all she wanted was sex ‘two to three times’ per week.

Melissa explained that while things started off great with Josh on their honeymoon, their relationship went downhill once they moved in together.
