However, Lacey's friend Sacha who was on the same series of Married At First Sight as them, has jumped to her defense.
Posting on Instagram she said: "Just for the record Lacey said she need to leave for her mental health.
"And we all told her to stay but she insisted on leaving.
"That's why no one went after her.
"And I did say. 'I'm not convincing someone to stay if it's not healthy for them to'. She knows I was there for her.
"Including telling Kieran not to gang up on Lace when it's nothing to do with him. I love both Nath and Lace."

THE BREAK-UP
Nathan previously told us how he was left "brokenhearted" after his break-up with Lacey.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, he said: "Things weren’t the same off the show, it was very different.
"I’d always have to go there, she wouldn’t come to see me – those kind of arguments. I’m not too sure, things were quite different after the show.
"When you’re together, you’re 100 per cent in the same place.

Nathan added: "She decided, she said let’s just be friends.”
Mafs couples that have stood the test of time
Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.
The pair couldn't keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam's Doncaster home.
Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.
Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.
Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out - and excited for everything to come.”
Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.
Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.
"While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.
“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’
“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”
Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.
Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna's vegan lifestyle, the show's first same sex pairing are still going strong.
They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.
Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: "We're not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship."
