Former Love Island contestant Whitney Adebayo has made shocking claims against her ex-boyfriend and fellow Islander, Lochan Nowacki, accusing him of making racially insensitive remarks about her skin tone.
In an explosive revelation, Adebayo alleged that Nowacki described her skin as "dirty" during their relationship, leading to widespread backlash and discussions about racism in modern dating.
The Allegations
Adebayo, who appeared on the 2023 series of the hit ITV2 show, shared her claims in a recent interview, stating that the comments left her deeply hurt. "It wasn’t just a one-off remark," she explained. "There were multiple instances where he made me feel uncomfortable about my skin colour."
Lochan's Response
Nowacki, who coupled up with Adebayo during their time in the villa, has yet to publicly address the allegations. Sources close to the reality star suggest he is "shocked and saddened" by the claims and may issue a statement soon.
Public Reaction
The allegations have sparked fierce debate on social media, with many fans expressing support for Adebayo while others urge caution until both sides of the story are heard. Relationship experts have weighed in, highlighting the importance of addressing racial microaggressions in romantic partnerships.
This controversy comes as Love Island continues to face scrutiny over its handling of diversity and inclusion, following previous incidents involving contestants of colour.
