Bryce then told Melissa, 31, he decided to take a breather after he felt that she was giving him attitude when he asked her what she was wearing.
‘I literally said to you before in the bathroom, “What are you wearing today?” You said, “Oh, my clothes.” I’m like, “Okay,”‘ he replied.
‘I just didn’t know if you were being a smarta**e,’ Bryce said, to which Melissa replied that she couldn’t believe that was the reason he was upset.

‘I knew something was up. [It] was over a comment about what I was wearing,’ Melissa vented to producers.
‘He legitimately asked the question, I say “clothes”, you know, sarcastically. It was a joke. It’s so silly.’
The frustrated bride said that the couple were likely to face problems in the future if she couldn’t ‘be herself’.
