Two Love Island Contestants Have Fallen Victim To Revenge Porn Since Entering The Villa
This is really not OK.
Love Island’s newest contestant Zara McDermott has become victim to revenge porn.
Explicit videos and photos featuring the government advisor have reportedly been shared over WhatsApp in the week since Zara entered the villa.
The family of the 21-year-old are said to be “shocked and disappointed” by the leaks, and upset that “anyone would breach her trust in this way”. Since the villa rarely gets news of the outside world, Zara is most likely in the dark about what has gone on.
It’s also been reported that Zara did not tell her bosses that she was entering Love Island, and rather told them she needed a ‘career break’.
This comes just a week after flight attendant Laura also became a victim of revenge porn, with a nude image of her being shared by an ex-boyfriend.
The photo – which reportedly shows the Islander’s detailed flower inking – has been circulated in Dubai, where the 29-year-old resides.
A source close to Laura said: “She will be horrified and upset that an ex-boyfriend could abuse her trust in this way.”
She is proud of her body and sent it for his eyes only during a moment of passion. She never even considered that it would be forwarded to pals who then would distribute it further.
“Laura has no idea this picture has been passed around while she has been looking for love in the villa. Her family are obviously concerned and worried that due to her new-found fame it might be uploaded onto a porn site for the whole world to see.”
Women in Arab states are required to have their bodies covered so a naked former employee is the last thing they will want to have linked to their name.
