Totally agree and without playing devils advocate, they have a duty of care to Faye too. She is acting in a way that is completely destroying her reputation and should be provided with some mental health interventions. We all know what happened to previous Love Island contestants after the show 😓

Whilst I actually hate Faye, I agree with you on the duty of care thing. I want her out the villa but I hope she gets given the opportunity to accept responsibility for her actions and apologies first so that she isn’t seen as so much of a villain she is trolled with death threats. That being said, I think Lucie said she still receives them now after two years… people are just the worst.

Faye should have been sent off to sleep in the hideaway for the night to calm down.

Totally agree. If they didn't want to remove her they should at least have temporarily sent her somewhere alone. Having been in an abusive relationship in the past I found it really uncomfortable and upsetting to see Faye and Teddy sharing a bed after she'd been so horrible to him.

I've also never used my experience of abuse to justify treating other people like tit so I don't accept that as an excuse for Faye. I know we all respond to trauma differently and I don't doubt that her past has deeply affected her, but she should address those issues before trying to start a new relationship. I'll say it again- if she is this volatile then (whatever the reason behind it) she needs to address that BEFORE dating or being on TV. I hope the producers have at least prompted her to speak to one of the counsellors they have available.
 
I think there is a lot of judgement being thrown at Faye and we obviously don't know her past. I had a violent, manipulative ex. Just to name a few things, he spiked my drink, attacked me physically, actually left me with handprint bruises on my neck at one time. Threatened to kill himself if I left him. Once tried to hang himself with the cord of our iron off a balcony when I was packing my stuff. Cord broke, he broke his leg & I was stuck again. I was 20 to 22 dealing with all this. I spent years dealing with issues and I certainly lashed out like Faye at times. I became fiercely protective of people I cared about too.

I'd say it was 10 years before I learned to regulate my emotions. Im 35 now and I still don't want to be anyones girlfriend but that's my choice because I know who I am

I agree.. almost everyone has been hurt by someone at some point.. I was with my ex for 3 years and then one day he just ghosted me and he never spoke to me again .. took me ages to come to terms with it but Iv never behaved the way Faye has tonight.. at some point you have to take responsibility for how you react to things

Same - four years - lived for the guy. He was my Mr Big, I was not his Carrie. It does take a while and it hurts a lot but even if I was a witch to anyone new - I certainly wouldn’t on national television! Faye believes she is a boss witch feminist when she is embarrassing herself.

Please can someone explain how it was gaslighting? I’m really bad at spotting it and would really appreciate if someone could help me x

It’s the way Faye is twisting the truth and not backing down and insisting she is the victim when Teddy knows the truth himself. It can make a person question themselves and their own mental health and they end up apologising so something that isn’t their fault. Gas lighters love to strongly shift the blame onto the other person. They will claim that if only you behaved differently, they would not treat you the way that they do.

It’s why a lot of domestic abuse victims don’t think of themselves us victims, they say “well I shouldn’t of said or done that to upset them I was asking for it”
 
Never liked Faye but tonight was unnecessary. If it was a male contestant in there shouting and screaming at the females and stomping about aggressively like Faye was then they would have been removed, or taken to calm down at the very least. Her behaviour was embarrassing and unacceptable. How Teddy kept his cool, I really don’t know... My fiancé and I were shouting at the TV! She is really going to regret this massive overreaction. I hope she gets kicked out and Teddy wins with someone else. Teddy is a king.

You haven't gone on a dating show on TV though. She must have known whether she was able to deal with what was going to be thrown at her, and would have gone through a vigorous screening process in order to do so..

I'm sorry to hear that you happened to you and hope you are doing as well as you can be now x

Is this a joke 😳🤣 I can’t even with people who complain about a reality tv show where people know exactly what they’re getting themselves into 😂 this is exactly the reason why love island has gone to tit!

Not a joke, I complained about the producers and there treatment of the islanders. It’s damaging for everyone, putting fuel in the fire every night to create content! I’m sure I’m not the only one
 
I just think with the previous suicides of contestants from this show the producers should be more careful. I know it came up before about their duty of care following the contestants and Caroline's death. I just don't see how ITV are undertaking their duty of care after just watching a show like that. Which is heavily edited, so how much longer did that go on for ? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Tonight wasn’t entertaining though. It was genuinely uncomfortable and unnecessary.

Faye has shown this throughout. I think you disagreed with me before but her reaction to Brad was similar if not as dramatic. I think the producers needed to step in there. Showing it wasn’t entertaining and it absolutely has the potential to impact people IRL after the show.

I love Love Island. I want silly trashy tv with attractive people. I don’t want to watch a toxic abusive argument.
