Former Love Island star Remi Lambert launched a scathing attack on fellow islanders Luca Bish and Jacques O’Neill after controversial comments made during an Instagram Live went viral.
The 22-year-old model entered the villa as a bombshell alongside Jay Younger, but was dumped from the show just days later after failing to turn any of the girls’ heads.
Following his exit, Remi claimed there was an unaired argument between him and the rugby ace, 23, and also hailed his Love Island experience ‘s**t’ because of Jacques.
During an Instagram Live on Sunday, the boys were asked what they thought about Remi’s rapping.
Jacques sarcastically replied: ‘I said it’s really really good, you should turn pro,’ which resulted in the pair laughing together.
After the brief clip went viral, Remi shared a snippet of the pair on his personal Instagram and used the opportunity to put the pair on blast, but also clarified that he wasn’t part of their live stream and the person that asked the question was a ‘fake account.’
‘Don’t know why these guys have such a problem with me, clearly got some serious issues they need to sort out,’ he penned.
‘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 wasn’t kicked out for their behaviour to be honest. It’s not banter, it’s clear signs of bullying.”
Reflecting on what took place behind the scenes, Remi added: ‘I wish everyone could see all of the crap I went through.
‘There are 24 hours in a day and yous only seen like about 3-5 10 second clips of me out of the whole day, so you could never tell what was truly happening.
‘Jacques said bad things about my appearance and the way I speak, whilst Luca was encouraging it. After about three strikes from Jacques I told him I won’t be speaking to him anymore in the villa.
‘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.’
After Jacques’ family revealed that he was diagnosed with ADHD as a child, Remi continued: ‘Worst person to represent mental health and ADHD campaigns.
‘He’s still out here 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. Immature.
‘These guys are not role models or good people. They have not once thought about my mental health. If I wasn’t soo strong minded I could’ve done something stupid to myself by now, but they don’t care at all. I want justice.’
Jacques was recently under fire after a video of him mocking finalist Tasha Ghouri was leaked online.
During the emotional finale, Jacques showed the clip of Tasha and Andrew making their romantic speeches to each other.
When it was Tasha’s turn to declare her love for Andrew, Jacques quoted Davide Sanclimenti’s iconic line: ‘You are a liar, actress, get the f**k out.’
Love Island is available to stream in full on ITV Hub.
