"Perfect Match" star Francesca Farago says she "bawled" her eyes out after learning contestants would sleep in co-ed bedrooms.

During Thursday's episode of the podcast "The Viall Files" with Nick Viall, Francesca Farago opened up about her time on Netflix's latest reality series. "Perfect Match" follows several Netflix reality show stars – including cast members from "Too Hot Too Handle" and "The Circle – who are looking for love. Farago starred in season one of "Too Hot Too Handle."

Farago told Viall that production wasn't forthright about the lodging situation.

"I was told that we would not be sharing rooms with men," Farago told Viall. "I was told it would be girls and boys, separate houses. So, I was like, 'Perfect, I'll do it.' But I'm not going to do it if I'm having to share a room because I had to do it with my ex on a show and I regretted it."

Farago said she learned about the co-ed sleeping arrangements while filming.

"When the rules were dropped that we had to match up and go sleep in the same bed, I bawled my eyes out for a day. All that wasn't shown," Farago told Viall.

Viall noted that the scenario was "weird," prompting Farago to explain further why she was uncomfortable.

"I was literally crying," Farago said. "I was like, 'I can't do this. These guys are just going to try and sleep with me, I don't wanna be here.'"

Farago added that some of the other contestants felt hesitant about the bedroom set-up, saying it was "really uncomfy."

"I don't think a lot of people were comfortable with it," Farago told Viall. "A lot of people didn't know that that was the fact when they left for filming. I probably wouldn't have done the show if I knew that that was the way that it was going be done."

Representatives for Farago and Netflix did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

In the same interview, Farago claimed that she was bullied by costar Savannah Palacio of "The Circle" season 2.

"There was a lot of build-up leading to that," Farago said. "It was like days on end."

She also said Shayne Jansen, who appeared in "Love is Blind" season 2, was "playing up certain things for the show."

"Shayne is crazy," Farago said. "I don't know Shayne in person. I know reality TV Shayne because I know he was playing up certain things for the show."
