I totally agree. I'm pretty disappointed by a lot of views on here, I normally find I'm in step with most opinions on Tattle, but some of the comments about Faye over the last day are pure Mumsnet (that bastion of perfect female behaviour where someone once told me I should have my kids taken into care because I swore in front of them). Calling Faye a potty mouth (such an absolute cringe term), that she's common, thick, has no class etc - because she got upset and made a scene, didn't fit in with some idea of how women should behave - she wasn't dignified like Millie (who is a bloody doormat frankly). All those type of comments really make me uncomfortable.
It's exactly the same as Liam and Matt sitting there judging Faye, who the duck is Liam the duplicitous cheater to judge anyone?!

I'm a lot older than Faye. My dad brought me up never to take any tit from anyone. So I do argue, I shout and I certainly swear, I have since I was in my teens and I'm sure I will do it again. I will stand up for myself and my friends.

Raising your voice and telling someone to duck off or that they're a prick is not abuse. Speaking down to someone, talking over them, most people do that in the heat of an argument at least once. Arguments aren't like on TV where everyone gives the other person a chance to air their views, is respectful and considered!

Abuse to me is when someone is screaming in your face (sometimes for hours) that you're an ugly dirty worthless bleep, you're fat and disgusting, repulsive, grotesque etc, any manner of insults. Spitting on you because you're nothing. And yes, that's happened to me more than once so I think I know the difference between that and a heated exchange.

I'd actually say Fayes behaviour is bordering on abusive to be honest.

Your last paragraph also suggests to me that you've been in an abusive relationship and its fact that those who have been, their parameters of what is acceptable is massively skewered compared to the norm.

She just needed to say to Teddy to go away and that she wasnt ready to talk. Instead she attempted to goad every other lad into some sort of argument then telling them all to shut up.

It also begs the question if shes that closed off and untrusting of the opposite sex, why the hell pick Love Island to be the show to go on to find love? It's now on series 7 and therefore no big shock that things are manipulated, especially Casa Amore.

She overreacted massively and her behaviour was nothing short of over the top, embarrassing, potentially abusive and unacceptable.

She needs to leave now for her own mental health and sort out the root of her problems caused by previous relationships.

I think it's a real shame we didn't see any of the girls encouraging Faye to calm down or even consider that the situation wasn't as bad as she was making out. I get that they're probably scared of speaking up and getting the sharp end of her tongue too, as all they seem to do is to echo each others thoughts and confirm what the emotion of the moment is.
I think the villa would be a much happier place without her in it. I hope she goes and gets the help she needs.

Well, yes and no. Before that relationship I would have considered screaming the worst possible insults in someone's face, telling them they are nothing, spitting on them, being physical with them, to be abusive. Having been through it I still think they're abusive. Oddly though not one person I knew thought there was anything wrong with it, including the police. It didn't fit in with their definition of abuse and I was clearly able to stick up for myself, apparently. So there you go.

That relationship skewed nothing for me. I've always argued and shouted (and had no issue with someone arguing and shouting back, and I've always known the difference between a heated argument that goes too far (which is how I'd describe what Faye did last night), and abuse.

But I'll accept I may be in the minority on this, and leave it there.
