Former Geordie Shore star Holly Hagan has publicly criticised the hit MTV reality show, accusing producers of neglecting their duty of care towards cast members. The 30-year-old reality TV veteran claims the show failed to provide adequate support, particularly regarding mental health and post-fame struggles.
Harsh Reality Behind the Scenes
Hagan, who appeared on the show from 2011 to 2016, revealed that cast members were left to cope with fame's pressures without proper guidance. "There was zero aftercare," she stated, "We were just expected to deal with everything ourselves."
Mental Health Concerns Ignored
The reality star highlighted how the show's intense environment and sudden fame took a toll on participants' wellbeing. "Nobody checked in on us," Hagan explained, "We were young, thrown into this crazy world, and then just abandoned."
Calls for Industry Change
Hagan's comments come amid growing scrutiny of reality TV's ethical standards. She joins other former stars demanding better protections for participants, including:
- Mandatory psychological assessments
- Professional aftercare support
- Transparent contracts
- Fair compensation for long-term impact
The outspoken star hopes her revelations will pressure production companies to implement proper duty of care protocols.
