Love Island viewers threatened to contact Ofcom after they watched a tense conversation unfold on the recent episode of the ITV2 show
Love Island viewers hit out at the ITV2 dating show after they watched a tense conversation unfold between Dejon and newcomer Billykiss. The duo initially had a connection when the bombshell picked him for a date this week, but he chose to stay partnered up with Meg during the recoupling.
Animosity grew between them after the Islanders took part in a Superman-inspired game which saw Yasmin and Gio pick Dejon as the least dedicated male Islander. "I don't feel like you've dedicated yourself fully to the whole experience," Yasmin said. "I hope you've only dedicated to getting to know one person…'
‌
‌
Dejon responded: 'I didn't know when all of a sudden it's become a problem wanting one woman," to which Yasmin referred to his date with Billykiss." The bombshell took the moment to point out how he claimed to be open with her but acts closed around Meg.
She told him: "You don't want to hear the truth, which is why you're feeling sour." A day after the challenge, Billykiss and Dejon sat down to hash things out, with Dejon telling her: "The challenge yesterday, a lot of things were said that I don't agree with at all."
Billykiss said it wasn't fair that he led her on despite knowing his "heart is with Meg" as she explained how she felt. However, he repeatedly shut her down and bluntly said: "You're not someone that I would want to get to know in here, or on the outside, from the conversations that we've had."
She tried to share her thoughts but he stood up and added: "Alright Billykiss. I'm not going to keep begging to speak," before waltzing off.
Fans were furious with how Dejon spoke to Billykiss and rushed to social media to threaten to filed a complaint with Ofcom.
‌
One user said: "Complaining to @Ofcom Love Island. Allowing Dejon to speak to BillyKiss like that is not appropriate.
"You need to do better, that was so bloody awful to watch."
Another fan commented: "That comment from Dejon! "That was HORRID and such a show of his character. I honestly rate Billykiss for standing her ground during that conversation," while one posted: "That was a horrible scene to watch play out."
‌
One fan added: "Why does Dejon think he can speak like that to Billykiss?" and another reminded people: "Mind you Billykiss was having a nap in the shade, Dejon brought himself to have this conversation and acted like he was forced to be there."
