Whitney added more photos of herself in a bikini on the post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Whitney&#8217;s sister then posted to defend her sibling against some criticising her for making the allegation.

I&#8217;m tired of seeing people constantly paint my sister as this person and jumping on the &#8216;hate Whitney&#8217; bandwagon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;I know what she went through and the fact that it took this long for her to heal and share her truth to be shamed is vile. As women we&#8217;ve all stayed in situations that didn&#8217;t serve us but when you get out, that&#8217;s when you really start to become a woman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;Be kind and give grace,&#8221; she wrote to end her message to the critics.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/0_Love-Island-TV-Show-Series-10-Final-Majorca-Spain-31-Jul-2023.jpg\" alt=\"Photo shows Whitney and Lochan in the Love Island villa during the live series finale\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>Lochan is yet to address the allegations online(Image: Matt Frost\/ITV\/REX\/Shutterstock)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Both Whitney and Lochan have since taken to TikTok to share videos to address the accusations. Lochan took to the platform to defend himself, posting a five minute clip. He said: &#8220;I don&#8217;t even know really where to begin with this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">He explained that he and his family are &#8220;devastated and upset&#8221; about the allegations but feels like he had &#8220;no other choice&#8221; other than to address it on his own social media account.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Lochan goes into detail about his side of the situation that Whitney has since spoken about. He said a year into their relationship they were on a walk when Whitney started to show off her new nails.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;She annoyingly put her nails in my face and said, &#8216;My hands are so clean, yours aren&#8217;t.&#8217; And I said, &#8216;No they&#8217;re not,'&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;I was just annoyed her hands were in my face &#8211; it was a very off the cuff remark. She looked at me in shock and said, &#8216;You&#8217;re calling me dirty.&#8217; I was taken aback by that. I felt insulted that my girlfriend &#8211; who I loved, who knows me, who knows that I would never insinuate something like that &#8211; is calling me a racist.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;I want to first off say I&#8217;ve never called someone&#8217;s skin dirty, I would never. That to me is the most upsetting comment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Lochan then goes into how upset the allegations made him before saying that he then went on to message Whitney&#8217;s sister to try and clear up the situation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Whitney announced her split from Lochan in a candid Instagram video about her life in April this year. In a voiceover on top of a video of what she&#8217;s been up to recently, Whitney said: &#8220;It&#8217;s strange how you can wake up one day and decide everything that you once loved wasn&#8217;t enough anymore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;Hey, my name&#8217;s Whitney and today I decided to become her. I used to adore the spring; the warmth, the light, the feeling that life is returning after a cold, dark winter. But, this year, April 4th, felt like a cruel reminder of winter&#8217;s chill. It was the day he chose to stop choosing us, the day he chose to stop choosing me. And, just like that, I found myself alone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Whitney has also shared her own video to TikTok, however hers was just one minute long compared to Lochan&#8217;s five minutes. She addressed her previous post which included the allegations before saying that she finds it hard to look into the camera as she doesn&#8217;t like to talk about her &#8220;feelings&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">She says: &#8220;This is for women, most importantly my black women that have a story to be told and don&#8217;t feel like it will be heard. I&#8217;m your example, share your story because you never know that story might just need to be heard.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">Join The Mirror\u2019s <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/uk-news\/join-mirrors-whatsapp-community-latest-29524349\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">WhatsApp Community <\/a>or follow us on <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqBwgKMKmuoAkwrqBw\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Google News <\/a>, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/flipboard.com\/@TheMirror\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Flipboard <\/a>, Apple News, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mirrorshowbiz\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">TikTok <\/a>, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/story.snapchat.com\/p\/e938f430-2c82-432e-9424-9522e5dc822c\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Snapchat <\/a>, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mirrorceleb\/\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram <\/a>, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MirrorCeleb\/\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Twitter <\/a>, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MirrorCeleb\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook <\/a>, <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@MirrorCeleb\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">YouTube <\/a>and <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@dailymirror\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Threads <\/a>&#8211; or visit The Mirror homepage.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Love Island&#8217;s Whitney Adebayo met and fell for Lochan Nowacki while in the Love Island villa in 2023&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41208,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[13442,96,574,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-41207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-dating","tag-entertainment","tag-love-island","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41207\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
