Expert breaks silence on knife mentioned by Hugo: "It's an attempt to..."

Oh, the broth is spilled... and there are even knives making noise. At the most recent Married at First Sight Commitment Ceremony , Hugo left everyone with their jaws dropped when he recounted an episode that he described as "terribly scary" that he experienced with his wife, Raquel .

"I had been sleeping for hours and I must have been woken up by someone completely out of their mind, spouting everything you can imagine, the worst thing in the world. I don't know what I did because I was asleep. She was on top of me, I put my hand in front of her so she wouldn't come on top of me anymore. She was completely out of her mind ," he began by venting.

But the contestant went even further: " If Raquel had gotten up from the table and picked up a knife, I would have been torn to pieces. I would have been completely out of my mind. I'm not joking ."

"It's an attempt to dramatize"

"When he talks about that, he doesn't show any emotion, when he talks about the knife, he's tense, you can see that tension in him (...) you can really see his veins," he said.

And he concluded: "There are things that have to be there and there are things that don't have to be there, when people are scared they have to look scared, he doesn't do anything. That is to say, when he talks about the knife, it is an attempt to dramatize, because he is not feeling it (…)".
