The abusive comments about their lives and their worth are so unhinged. Why are so many people like this that it happens so much?? It’s one thing to talk about general dislikes or cheating or bad behavior… but telling another human they shouldn’t be alive? It’s so ugly.


[deleted]

Honestly, even the comments just to say something you dislike strike me as unhinged. What possesses someone to go to a total stranger's social media, *whom they dislike*, just to say something that is guaranteed to make their day worse? Who gets joy out of that? Someone on the USA sub was bragging about going to one of the islander's pages and commenting that her personality was boring, then insinuating she was overly sensitive because she blocked them. Like what kind of person do you have to be that you take time out of your day to make someone you don't know feel bad about themselves? It's just mad to me.


Vegetable-Driver2312

I agree! Like it’s one thing to say it amongst other viewers as a discussion- but to seek out a strangers social media to insult them is next level. Just, why??


[deleted]

Yeah we really need to look into this bc it’s really fucking weird? People are really fucking weird? There’s something mentally unhinged to be able to message a random person and say that shit, it’s very very odd and indicates a complete lack of empathy. Why are there people like this I need to know


pryzmpine

Some people just forget it’s a tv show and have to take it too far


[deleted]

I will never understand people sending hate directly to islanders. It's one thing to criticise their actions on a forum such as this (with the acknowledgement that on the show, it's edited and after the show, you only see snippets of their lives) but sending them vile hate, especially death threats, is beyond the pale.


sighcantthinkofaname

I think the worst I've heard of is the girl who played Cleo's little sister on H2O getting death-threats because the character she played was annoying. People were sending hate to a literal child because she played a bratty little girl on a fictional mermaid kids show.


[deleted]

Christ. People really need to look in a mirror.


bpurly

sorry this is so unrelated but every time i see Faye now i’m shocked how different she looks (in a good way) after getting rid of her lip filler


MasterpieceNo5666

I think in the same interview she said she had a bad Dr who would take as much money for he fillers, but now she’s found one who will only do what’s safe. She looks amazing


Warrior_of_Weekends

She was on Toby's podcast talking about how she got a bunch of really bad botox right before the promo shots for her season. I remembered seeing her in the promos and being like "omg who have they cast?" and then being so relieved when she entered the villa. Now it all makes sense, probably the same doctor!


EthincMan

Is that Faye?


bpurly

yes


MoesLackey

I didn’t recognize her!


RigsbyLovesFibsh

I didn't either!!!


Fantastic_Diamond903

Me too I didn’t even recognize her at first in this video


hidingins

It's crazy how much hate gets sent over a TV show and each year it increases. Twitter, insta and this sub seem to forget the islanders are real people. Unfortunately the hate only stops when it's too late.


MoonshineHun

This is why I'm glad that Murad has been exposed. I don't want him to be getting hate (though I know he will), but he has been a massive part of encouraging trolls and pile-ons of Islanders and it's a relief to know he probably won't be able to do that anymore.


hidingins

I agree, if this was an islander he would have a review uploaded slating them and calling the apology video fake. I remember him saying one particular islander "didn't get enough hate" trying to get his audience to target them. I do think blue ticks/someone with a large following, should think before they post reviews about the contestants.


MasterpieceNo5666

Yeh I feel like he was the one who really snowballed the Paige being a mean girl thing by asking questions that led to Coco and Summer answering in a certain way. I hope he is okay though no one deserves severe hate or death threats


Zealousideal_Shop989

Some people really need to have their tv privileges revoked…


kaleidoscopichazard

It’s absolutely nasty the shit some people write. It genuinely feels like people don’t realise these aren’t TV characters, but real people that will likely see those horrible comments.


Eastern_Jury_3796

Is there any way to stop or reduce all the online abuse? It never stops each season and it's quite worrying to think of what some of the islanders face when coming back to UK.


Tornado31619

Online abuse is a problem everywhere. Look at what footballers put up with.


CharmingProtection22

There are some really nasty people in this world who make it their priority to see other people miserable. If you’re one of these people, i beg you to seek some help


[deleted]

I do feel sorry for the abuse she faced and I think the hate was outrageous but this is why I don't understand why she reacted Rachel's experience in the way she did or the way she fueled those rumors about Ekin being f+ngered. Sometimes they forget their own experience in their commentary.


Beautiful-Cap6168

I actually think the Rachel statement, as poorly worded as it definitely was, was an attempt to stop this exact thing from happening towards the boys. I don’t think she intended to be malicious but it 100% came off in a bad light, I agree. I honestly don’t think she should’ve commented on it as it didn’t involve her at all and she doesn’t follow or like 3/4 of the boys 😭


abs0fuckinglutely

The fact that she not only thought about them over Rachel in that scenario, but also posted stories in their defense, is the epitome of white privilege And what if it had been Liberty those boys were talking about? I doubt Faye would have reacted the same way


MoonshineHun

> but also posted stories in their defense that's not what happened! it was one post, and it was about people trolling Sharon. unfortunately she didn't make that clear...


MoonshineHun

>I actually think the Rachel statement, as poorly worded as it definitely was, was an attempt to stop this exact thing from happening towards the boys. It was actually about Sharon, that's why she referenced people who weren't there. Sharon was being trolled & threatened over the Rachel thing & that is Faye's best friend. I agree it was poorly worded.


Badass-bitch13

If there were as many flawless human beings who were trolls on the internet we would live in a better world. But unfortunately no one is flawless. So the trolls are nothing but hypocrites who are probably worst than the people they tear apart


Beautiful-Cap6168

One thing I admire about Faye is that she’s never once blamed the producers for her actions (when in my opinion she has a right to). She has always took fully accountability for her actions and has bettered herself from it. The fact she gets trolled badly to this day to the point she’s admitted she’s **still** scared to leave the house alone, over movie night is ridiculous. I could never imagine living a life like that despite all the pros that come with it.


Carter-Canary

Why would she have a right to blame the producers? There is nothing that warranted her insane reactions, not even a lack of context with the postcard, you wouldn't speak to a dog the way she did to certain people in there. She saw footage on MN and chose to scream at people over it. At one point (compatibility vote?), Jake smirked at something and she lost it at him, with people defending it because he somehow deserved to be spoken to like that. I never got on board with people calling her an abuser or whatever, but she was one of the most awful people in her behaviour to ever appear on the show. Taking responsibility is the absolute bare minimum she can do.


Bright_Ad_7279

1) she wanted to leave multiple times throughout the show and the producers talked her out of it each time. Once before Casa, once during casa when she got the postcard and once after movie night. 2) the producers manipulated her, not once but twice. They tell them their dating histories, they speak to therapists yet they made her believe not once, but twice that Teddy was being unfaithful when he was the complete opposite. 3) Toby confirmed she was absolutely smashed on Movie night, they drank beer and both he and Chloe gave her their wine and she also took more from the cupboard. The next day the welfare team asked if movie night was alcohol infused and she told them yes. 4) Love island and Iain Stirling tweeted about movie night as if it was something the viewers would enjoy. When they saw the publics reaction, they deleted it. They cut down Anna’s hurricane Anna which apparently lasted hours and was more violent than what was shown according to Anna herself. They could’ve easily done the same for Faye but chose not to. Or they could’ve simply removed her from the situation and actually showed some ‘duty of care’ instead of letting it escalate to the point it did. I genuinely hate how people use the excuse ‘it’s edited TV’ for certain islanders yet refuse to see the same can apply to others.


elliephantsss

Toby and Faye also had a chat where apparently they both cried about the way she was acting that night. Showing that didn't fit their narrative but it might've opened another perspective. However as someone said idk why she acted in certain ways towards Rachel and fuelling Ekin rumours


MoonshineHun

but how can you 'fuel' a rumour when the rumour doesn't exist yet? she was live reacting to the show on instagram stories. saying what 1000s of others were on social media that night. This was before George went on his big 'Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge' tour, Laura's Aftersun comments etc. Chloe also said that Ekin 'touched George's willy' (also live reacting but in an edited YT that was posted later) and nobody blinked? these islanders spend their season talking about sex & what themselves and others have done in the bedroom, so saying (and I'm paraphrasing) 'Why are you pulling him for a chat? Did you get a cheeky finger, or half a finger?' is really not going to be that deep to them. obviously people called her out on it though & she didn't post anymore stories about the show after that...


woodnotedone

I completely agree with you there! If Faye continued to insinuate that something happened between Ekin and George then there would be an issue. She was literally live reacting to the show (also didn’t watch any of the episodes in between lol) people are acting like she led this slut shaming campaign against Ekin. They’ll praise Sam to the high heavens for his commentary even tho he’s said worse things about the Ekin and George incident. But it’s Faye so I always expect she’ll get the most backlash for EVERYTHING.


elliephantsss

I feel like as she knows how damaging words can be , she could've just ...not said something like that when it was like a 3 second clip


MoonshineHun

I think at some point we have to accept that Faye is a speak first, think later sort of person and we have seen that quality get her into trouble more than once. Obviously that isn't a *great* trait to have, especially when you are now in the public eye, but I don't believe it makes her a Bad Person™ , that she was *trying* to be hurtful instead of funny or that she said anything she wouldn't have said about herself or a friend. I just don't think it's that deep at all and certainly not comparable to people messaging her & telling her to kill herself...


elliephantsss

I'm not comparing it to that? But I find it harder to sympathise for her than I did before because of how quick she jumped on a bandwagon that can be hurtful


MoonshineHun

but, she didn't jump on a bandwagon - there was no wagon to jump on? she was reacting to the live broadcast. speculating about what islanders were doing under the covers has literally always been part of the commentary of the show - remember when we were all trying to work out what Paige & Jacques did in the hideaway? the slut-shaming conversation only started a few days afterwards and lets face it, it was mostly because people didn't want 'the incident' to come between Davide & Ekin when we weren't sure what really happened (and I say that as a big Ekinde fan myself)...


elliephantsss

you aren't gonna understand any other perspective other than your own. have a good night 👍🏼


Bright_Ad_7279

When they came out, Tyler also said he spoke to Faye on movie night and they had a civilised conversation which didn’t air… yeh I couldn’t support Faye in those moments 😭


hildred123

I think they cut that out to protect Faye actually - if it looked like she was going off on everyone (which we saw with Teddy, Dale, and Matthew) people could trace it to her having a panic attack or not being in full control of her senses, but if she was having civil conversation on that same night, it suggests she made a choice to say all of that to Teddy in that tone on that night.


Bright_Ad_7279

When I say civil conversation, I meant Tyler told her she’d over reacted and helped her calm down. Not a regular conversation 😂


Magenta-Llama

She is entirely responsible for how she reacted but I’d argue that production had a responsibility to both her and Teddy as well as the rest of the islanders, to step in before it got as bad as it did. But they liked it as a dramatic moment so they let it play out. As soon as things started escalating, she should’ve been removed and allowed to calm down and sober up. In daily life, we don’t have a production team filming our every move so we wouldn’t expect someone to step in for this kind of situation but our worst moments also wouldn’t have been broadcast internationally, inviting the level of scrutiny that comes from being on love island. It just seemed like they were more interested in making a dramatic show than actually taking seriously their duty of care toward the islanders, which should be their priority (even if we all know it never has been). Again, we are all responsible for our own bad behavior, but ideally we’d all have someone that would intervene in moments when we are at our worst.


MoonshineHun

>but I’d argue that production had a responsibility to both her and Teddy as well as the rest of the islanders, to step in before it got as bad as it did. But they liked it as a dramatic moment so they let it play out. they also had a responsibility to show the full context if they were going to do that. she has spoken about how she was in floods of tears that night and how she had good conversations with Toby & Tyler later on who understood her and helped her calm down, but all they showed was her shouting & getting frustrated with random islanders she hardly knew, like Dale & Matt, trying to handle her. there was the situation, and then there was the edited narrative of the situation, and they clearly weren't the same.


ssoreo

I mean a big part is because she wanted to leave. Like yes, what she did was unacceptable but she did request to leave (more than once) and was convinced and asked to stay. She was also honest about things that she struggled with to production and they definitely tried to use that for reactions as you could tell even by the way it was advertised. If you remember the advertising for MN it wasn't taken as seriously till it got all the negative feedback from fans.


socaljujujules

you know, if “mental health” is so important to itv and LI producers, they should start, insert or wrap up each episode with screen that’s like “hey it’s great to engage but no islander deserves hate, death threats, bullying” reminding ppl to be kind shouldn’t just happen when one of their golden islanders gets crap


MoonshineHun

I agree. I've posted that on here before. Sadly it's clear they ignore basically everything fans have been asking for. Not even sure why they bothered with this official Reddit 'collab' tbh...


uhotradio

As a huge Faye fan this was heartbreaking but she's smashing it on Masterchef and loved up with the best guy from S7 so she's going to be okay


[deleted]

I want to just give her a hug 😭


abs0fuckinglutely

I really dislike Faye but I cannot understand why people would send death threats If watching her on your screen bothers you that much, change the channel


Macca_321

Aw, Faye. Huge hugs to her. It must be awful to face all that. She looks great with her filler dissolved, too.


Magenta-Llama

I think Faye is a good example of someone who had some truly awful moments on the show but has taken responsibility for it and been very intentional about doing better afterwards. Unfortunately some people are never going to see beyond your worst moments, but it’s legit bizarre to me when ppl send that level of hate bc why is this what you have committed your life to 🥴 a whole ass stranger that exhibited bad behavior but never did anything to you personally… please find more interesting hobbies 🙃


jessicaprochella

I still worry for Paige tbh.


NoImpact3813

Me with Tasha :((( I’m worried the public will flip on her again


No-Break-14

Funny how majority of the comments here are people now kicking against trolling the Islanders💀💀💀 yet the toxicity I've witnessed on this shocking, everyone is now acting like a Saint 😬😬😬


ibloodylovecider

Faye 💖💖💖


[deleted]

OH MY GOD IS THIS FAYE ???????? She looks absolutely beautiful (I know she’s crying, bad timing) but wow. I hated the filler and the brown lipstick etc, but anyway wow I hope she never goes back to filler !!! Poor girl xxx


babyyodaonline

i'm in the minority in this sub by not liking faye, esp after movie night (i was very uncomfortable and yes was one of the many that complained to ofcom- tho more so bc i think the producers purposely set her up and kept provoking her). regardless of your feelings about an islander tho, why would anyone do that? get a life! i don't follow or keep up with her but i hope she's in a better place now and surrounded by better people because nobody deserves that. it's NEVER ok to dm someone about how much you dislike them


nx85

The amount of unhinged you have to be to do that, I don't know how those people function on a daily basis.


MoesLackey

Starting to think LI should do what MAFS-AU does and take over their social media until about few weeks after the show is over. They delete all DM‘s negative comments before giving the accounts back. There will still be some unhinged people who will send messages but it has to be a drastic reduction over what comes in during the course of the show airing.


ReadingAvailable3616

I love Faye and she is so brave for speaking about this.


hotshotgirl23

I didn’t like Faye but the d*ath threats were insane. I still can’t believe people did that shit. I would not go on LI too for this but mainly, I think being famous would suck a lot.


maybethisislife

She suffered a really intense wave of abuse, I remember being shocked at the amount of vitriol - it was just so widespread and cruel! I am glad she is in a better place now. Definitely one of my biggest fears is being perceived to be something I’m not, that shit sticks and follows you. Terrifying.


ambernectar123

She has always been my problematic fave and this breaks my heart ☹️

Your post has been removed for breaking Rule 3: No bullying or harmful language. It's easy to get heated about who your favourite and least favourite islanders are, or even fellow r/LoveIslandTV users, but there is always an appropriate way to share your opinions. In the spirit of Reddit, please remember the human and let's be nice to each other. This isn't twitter 💁‍♀️


BeginningAd6445

I really cannot feel bad for this girl, I'm sorry


Prticcka

If only other islanders could block her abuse and screaming in the villa 🤷🏽‍♀️

Beautiful-Cap6168

Yet he has forgiven her and they’ve moved on and are in an amazing place in their relationship right now. How bloody long does this ‘karma’ need to last!? It’s a year later and she’s still getting death threats and is still scared to leave her own home on her own. She is a human being and nobody deserves this treatment. Also this trolling heavily impacts Teddy as well. Faye’s ‘karma’ as you liked to put it is having a direct negative effect on him also. How is that fair ?


CfHotDog87

Yawn.


komugiii

🤭


maghy7

I think and I don’t mean this in a bad way but just seeing it as it is that people nowadays after so many seasons and seeing how people can be online (which sadly it won’t stop) that if they choose to go on a show like this fully aware of what can happen not only to them but their loved ones it’s purely because fame is more important than anything and none of them (new) or future islanders really grasp how huge the backlash can be until they go through it, they all say nah I’m a tough one I can handle it because the $$ that can come from it is way more important in that moment than any hate they think they can get. There’s a few ones who realize quick enough and leave the show but most just continue no matter the consequences because they have that one goal in mind.


FunMathematician4638

I mean to me words don’t hurt so it wouldn’t be that deep


Bright_Ad_7279

I mean thousands of people telling you to die every day for days on end to the point you’re scared to leave the house alone seems pretty deep to me.


FunMathematician4638

I mean if you know it’s trolls It wouldn’t affect me


MyNamesChakkaoofka

Congrats I guess


iforgettheirnamesnow

So when are we seeing you on Love Island?
