Love Island’s Remi accuses Jacques and Luca of bullying

“It’s not banter, it’s clear signs of bullying.”

Remi Lambert, who appeared on this season of Love Island, has accused Jacques O’Neill and Luca Bish of bullying him during his time in the villa.

The rapper and model shared a screen recording of an Instagram Live Jacques and Luca did together in which they appear to make fun of Remi’s rapping.

The pair joked about needing Remi to MC an event for them and a fake account pretending to be Remi commented, asking what they said about his rapping.

To this, Jacques said: “I said it’s really, really good. You should turn pro.” Jacques repeats himself and the pair laugh at the idea.

Sharing the video on his own profile, Remi wrote: “Don’t know why these guys have such a problem with me, clearly got some serious issues they need to sort out.

“Everyone said I lied about the way I was treated in that villa, but this here is an example of what was going on whilst I was in there. Don’t know why they weren’t kicked out for their behaviour, to be honest. It’s not banter, it’s clear signs of bullying.”

He added: “I wish everyone could see all of the crap I went through.”

Remi went on to say that Jacques “said bad things” about his appearance and the way he talks, while Luca encouraged it.

“After about 3 strikes from Jacques I told him I won’t be speaking to him anymore in the villa,” he wrote. “Later on he tried apologising to me but like 10 minutes after he started with the snide comments again. I’ve tried to avoid this guy multiple times but he always ends up starting again. I don’t know when it will stop.”

He added that Jacques is the “worst person to represent mental health and ADHD campaigns”.

“He’s still out there mocking not just me but other islanders too. You’d think with such a big platform they would use it to promote peace, but they’re using it to troll and they’re loving the attention.”

At the end of the post, he wrote: “These guys are not good role models or good people. They have not once thought about my mental health.”

Previously, Remi said that Jacques “ruined” his time on the show during a Reality with Will Njobvu YouTube video.
