Married at First Sight star Ryan Oubre says Erik Lake's disastrous attempt to confront Chris Williams about the way he spoke to Erik's new wife Virginia Coombs was doomed to fail before it even began.

During Wednesday night's episode of Married at First Sight: Unfiltered, Ryan and Erik watched back a clip of last week's MAFS episode in which Season 12's five couples met for dinner and Virginia and Erik confronted Chris about the way he had spoken to Virginia earlier that day.

"I've never been talked to so disrespectful in my life," Virginia says in the clip, referring to an argument Chris had with Virginia and Clara Berghaus while some of the couples were on a honeymoon ATV adventure together.

"You are borderline scaring people," Erik adds.

"I was fed up and tired of that bullsh-t," Chris complains.

"You are out of line," Erik says.

Chris asked Erik to allow him to finish his explanation, but Erik and Virginia said they were just going to leave and grab dinner elsewhere -- resulting in Chris rising from his chair as the couple began standing up to leave and Married at First Sight co-star Vincent Morales appearing to have to hold Chris back to keep him from getting physical with Erik.

As Chris continued to argue with Erik from across the room, Virginia shouts, "We're leaving."

"Unf-cking believable," Erik laments under his breath on his way out of the group gathering.

On Unfiltered, host Jamie Otis -- who starred on Season 1 of Married at First Sight -- pointed out that Ryan and Erik clearly had some "experiences" during their honeymoon.

Jamie said the boys certainly "brought the heat," and then she asked Ryan for his thoughts on that entire argument.

"Do you think Virginia and Erik added fuel to the fire?" Jamie asked.

"No, not at all," Ryan admitted. "No, no. I don't believe so in the least bit."

"Tension was already so high that that conversation was doomed to fail before it even started," he added.

But in retrospect, Erik admitted he wished he had handled things a little differently.

"Maybe not [talked to Chris] in front of everyone like that," Erik confessed. "Maybe I should have sat him down alone."

"Because it just escalated so quickly," Ryan pointed out.

"Yeah," Erik acknowledged. "I just maybe thought that we can say a few sentences to each other right now and end this and just have a nice dinner. That's really what I was trying to get out of that."

Married at First Sight star Haley also joined the guys on Unfiltered and offered her perspective on the dramatic events that unfolded in Las Vegas that evening.

"I wasn't there and I had nothing to do with it!" Haley insisted with a laugh. "I was just eating my popcorn on the side!"

Haley said of Virginia and Erik, "I do genuinely believe they were both coming from good places."

"But tensions were still so high because [Virginia and Chris' fight] was so fresh. Everything was so fresh and it just kind of exploded a little bit," Haley explained.

Hard feelings were "fresh" because Virginia was still reeling from a screaming match she had with Chris earlier that day.

Chris had called Virginia "a drunkard" and yelled at her on a bus for not leaving him alone and butting out of his business.

Chris hated how Virginia and Clara were judging him and interfering with his marriage to Paige Banks when he was already dealing with the fact his ex-fiancee, Mercedes, was about six weeks pregnant.

The group dinner seemingly became a disaster quickly because Virginia and Erik had shown up late -- right after Chris had issued an apology to everyone for how he had acted earlier in the day at the ATV outing.

Chris admitted he had not behaved like a man of God and was going to work towards becoming a better person and husband.

Erik said on Unfiltered that his confrontation with Chris probably could have been avoided had Chris waited for Virginia and himself to arrive to dinner before announcing his apology.

"Had we been there and he had that whole spiel and I listened to it, I think things would've went differently," Erik said. "It's just I don't know why he didn't wait for us."

When Jamie asked the guys if they were "done" with Chris at this point in the process, both Erik and Ryan laughed together.

"If he wants to reach out one day and have a conversation and actually get that solved and all of those things, I'd be open to that for sure," Erik shared. "But for right now, I just think we need some time probably away from each other."

After Chris and Erik's explosive altercation, Paige told her Married at First Sight co-star Briana Myles, "I understand why [Chris is] being defensive."

"Yeah, it's nobody's business!" Briana agreed in reference to the pregnancy shocker.

Chris revealed he had lost all respect for Erik, who had "crossed his boundary line," but Erik and Virginia were still furious at Chris as well.

All of this drama went down on last week's Married at First Sight twelfth-season episode. (Watch a clip of some of it below!)
