Married at First Sight Australia star Cyrell Paule says she was physically assaulted and subjected to racial abuse by the owner of an Australian restaurant.
In a series of Instagram posts, Paule broke down as she recalled the assault and also posted a video in which she and her partner Eden Dally can be seen arguing with two women at a restaurant called the Pelican Cafe, before one of the women attacks Paule.
Paule said the woman "thought it would be hilarious - while I'm walking down the street - to turn around and call me a 'f***ing black...'"
Love Island Australia star Dally, witnessed the attack and took over telling the story as Paule struggled with words.
"She called [Cyrell] a black monkey and came outside and tried to fight her, so I walked in the cafe and said 'what's the need to be racist and call people black monkeys?' Then she grabbed Cyrell by the throat and pushed her and I had to defend Cyrell," he said.
