Harrison Reportedly Quits The Love Island Villa

Harrison has reportedly quit the Love Island villa.

This comes after criticism following his treatment of Toni and Lauren on the show.

Love Island has yet to confirm or deny this report, but according to The Sun, Harrison left the villa on Thursday night.

A source said: “It’s been a momentous few days for Harrison and ultimately he has decided to quit.

“Everyone was so shocked and people were crying and hugging him. He worked through everything with the ITV duty of care team and is making his way home to his family now.”

This comes after a tense challenge, and days of criticism of Harrison’s behaviour, which prompted Women’s Aid to release a statement.

Jessye Werner, communications manager at Women’s Aid said: “In recent years, Love Island and other forms of reality TV have been repeatedly called out by viewers for allowing in contestants that had a history of abusive, coercive and manipulative behaviour in previous relationships.

“As a result, production companies have been more careful when it comes to selecting contestants and calling out toxic behaviours when we see them.

“Despite these positive steps, we still see unhealthy patterns of behaviour on these shows, showing just how steeped in misogyny and sexism our society still is. Women are often lied to, slut-shamed and manipulated, as well as laughed at behind their backs.

“Misogyny and sexism lay the foundation for the tolerance of abuse and violence – it reinforces a culture that excuses and trivialises violence against women and girls. More must be done to educate contestants on sexism and misogyny, and it is a great credit to viewers who take to social media, continuing to call out these behaviours as soon as they see them.”
