Love Island’s Yewande Biala hits back at bullying accusations

Fellow Love Islander and 2019 winner Amber Rose Gill has publicly defended Yewande

LOVE ISLAND star Yewande Biala has called out fellow Love Islander Lucie Donlan for allegedly refusing to call her by her real name because it was “too hard to pronounce” after Lucie accused her of bullying.

The feud surfaced yesterday when Instagram comments were shared on Reddit showing Lucie saying that Yewade had always bullied her. 

In the comments, a fan had asked Lucie about Yewande allegedly calling her a “horrible person”, to which Lucie said: “[Yewande’s] always bullied me, I’m not bothered about her opinion…makes her look bad. Not sure where she said that though.”

Tweeting last night, Yewande wrote in response: “You refused to call me by my name because it was too ‘hard to pronounce’ now you wanna say I bullied you !! Bullied.”

Fellow Love Islander and winner of the 2019 series Amber Rose Gill publicly showed her support for Yewande, replying to her tweet: “Na when she said can I call you “Y” I said lol no you can’t can I just call you “her” you were peaceful in that exchange It was me with the vim.”

Later on her own Twitter, Amber further showed her solidarity with Yewande: “Call me problematic. But if I see something false or that I don’t like I’m speaking regardless and if it’s about my friend I’m yelling idc.”

Amy Hart, another Love Islander from the same series replied to Amber’s second tweet: “I bit my tongue today, tomorrow may be different”, suggesting that she also supports Yewande.

Last year, Anna Vakili, another Love Islander and who has a close friendship with Yewande, told Heat that Lucie had unfollowed her, Amy, Amber and Yewande on Instagram.
