Love Island Winner Slams 'Disgusting' Trolls Over Baby Name Backlash
Love Island star slams 'disgusting' baby name trolls

A former Love Island winner has fiercely clapped back at vicious online trolls who criticised her unconventional baby name choice, branding their comments "disgusting".

The reality star took to Instagram to address the wave of negativity surrounding her newborn's moniker, posting an emotional message to her 3.7 million followers.

"Enough is enough" says emotional mum

"I've had enough of the nasty comments," the tearful TV personality wrote alongside a sweet snap cradling her infant. "People think they can say whatever they want without consequences."

The new mum revealed she'd been subjected to a torrent of abuse since announcing her baby's unique name, with some critics calling it "ridiculous" and "attention-seeking".

Fans rally behind star

Supporters quickly flooded the comments section with messages of encouragement:

  • "Ignore the haters - your baby, your choice!"
  • "The name is beautiful and meaningful to you"
  • "Trolls have nothing better to do than bully new mums"

This isn't the first time the Islanders have faced online abuse. Last year, another contestant revealed they needed therapy after similar trolling about their parenting decisions.

When does criticism cross the line?

Mental health experts warn that what begins as casual commentary can escalate into harmful cyberbullying, particularly targeting vulnerable new parents.

"We're seeing a worrying trend of reality stars facing disproportionate scrutiny over personal life choices," explains online behaviour psychologist Dr Emma Sullivan. "The anonymity of social media emboldens people to say things they'd never dare face-to-face."

The star has since limited comments on her posts and says she's focusing on enjoying precious first months with her child away from the toxic online chatter.
