'MAFS' star Emily Balch calls out Brennan Shoykhet for 'controlling' her
During 'MAFS' Season 17 Reunion Part 1, Emily Balch accused Brennan Shoykhet of controlling her when her ex-husband reflected on the controversial therapy session with Dr Pia Holec. Brennan insisted that he was not trying to control the situation and that he "misread the situation." However, Emily was not ready to trust her ex-husband and called him out on what she considered to be lies.
The Lifetime show star claimed, "I hope you can generally see you were controlling. I don’t want you to say you were controlling if you don’t mean it." She added, "I hope you can actually look at that and see the control. What you did there hurts more than you saying hurtful things."
