Love Island<\/a> star Dejon Noel-Williams insists he’s been the target of “a lot of untruths”. The 26-year-old telly star has come under fire for his treatment <\/a>of girlfriend Megan Moore during their stint in the Love Island villa, and is now the focus of a new book – Surviving Dejon – written by his stepsister, Niah Sienna.<\/p>\n

Addressing the recent backlash,<\/a> Dejon, who fans hit out at multiple times while he was on the show, told Capital XTRA: “There’s a lot of untruths and a lot of unfair stories which I am challenging at the moment. The most important thing is that Meg knows who I am, my family know who I am, and my friends know who I am.”<\/p>\n

Dejon also expressed gratitude to Andrada Pop and Billykiss Azeez for their recent backing. It comes after Andy Carroll ‘splits from Lou Teasdale due to her demands’ weeks after public row<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He said: “Even shoutout to Andrada and Billykiss because when we saw them when was coming out of the villa they were basically saying, ‘Dejon, there’s so much things being said about you. We know that’s not you. We know that’s not who you are as a person’.<\/p>\n

“So yeah shoutout to them two because they didn’t need to do that.”<\/p>\n

Recently, Dejon took to social media to remind the public that he’s a “human being with real emotions”. He posted on Instagram<\/a>: “I’ve stayed quiet, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t affected me.<\/p>\n

“I hold my self accountable for my communication and everyday I’m growing as a person, so thank you for those who see the good in me.<\/p>\n

|I’m not just a character on an entertainment reality tv show I’m also a human being with real emotions, some of the stuff I’ve seen said about me has been hard to deal with and they are the furthest thing from the truth.”<\/p>\n

He added: “I questioned why people would do these things and it was getting me nowhere as I couldn’t understand and is something I would never do to somebody else but what’s kept me grounded is movement.<\/p>\n

“Running, training, pushing myself when everything in my head feels heavy. It clears my mind, helps me breathe, reminds me of who I am outside of the noise.<\/p>\n

“If you’re struggling mentally, I get it. I really do. You don’t have to have it all figured out just find that one thing that brings you back to yourself and take it one step at a time.”<\/p>\n
