Former Love Island sensation Yasmin Pettet has bravely pulled back the curtain on the unsettling reality of life after the villa, revealing she is routinely targeted by married men sending deeply "inappropriate" direct messages on social media.
The 24-year-old reality star, who appeared on the hit ITV2 show in 2019, confessed that her Instagram inbox is flooded with advances from men who are openly married, leaving her feeling uncomfortable and disillusioned.
The Dark Side of Fame
In an exclusive interview, Yasmin didn't hold back, describing the messages as intrusive and wholly unacceptable. "It's shocking how bold some people are," she revealed. "They see a profile and forget there's a real person with feelings on the other side."
This constant stream of unsolicited attention has taken a significant toll on her mental wellbeing, forcing her to be constantly vigilant about her online interactions.
A Call for Accountability
Yasmin's experience highlights a broader, troubling trend where reality TV stars become targets for inappropriate behaviour the moment they find fame. Her story serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of instant celebrity and the lack of boundaries some followers exhibit.
She is now using her platform to call for greater accountability and respect on social media, urging people to think twice before sending a message that could cause distress.
