Kady McDermott was dumped by fashion brand after she called a toddler 'vile'

Kady McDermott was once dropped by a fashion brand after she called Maria Fowler's daughter 'vile' in a series of private messages.

The Love Island star, who recently shocked contestants when she made her return to the show, was previously under fire for her shocking comments.

In 2019, Maria took to social media to share private messages sent between the two - with the conversation ending with Kady making a cruel comment about Maria's child, Evie.

The toddler was two years old at the time and Kady has since apologised.

After the messages were exposed, fans were quick to question Missy Empire - a brand she frequently collaborated with - whether they were still working with her.

"We have taken this on board and as a brand we do not support this behaviour," the brand previously told a furious fan.

"As of now we have stopped her endorsement with us. Apologies. Thanks again."

Kady and Maria had a heated conversation on Instagram when the latter accused Kady of copying her interior company.

Kady launched a company called Our Village Project, which sounded similar to Maria's company, Project In A Village.

"You're a grown woman with a child going about someone having a similar name to yours. So embarrassing," Kady wrote to Maria at the time.

Maria said she "copied the whole page" and told her she 'doesn't have a mind of her own'.

The heated messages continued for a while before Maria called her a clown, resulting in Kady telling her: "Your daughter is vile."

The Love Island star soon apologised for her comments, claiming the comment was made in the "heat of the moment after she was being verbally name called by Maria."

"She deleted the comment within a second and as soon as she said it instantly regretted it and apologised to Maria," the statement read.

"There is no excuse for that comment at all, she is deeply sorry and did not mean it. It was a comment in a second of anger."

Kady also released an apology to her social media, telling fans she apologised to Maria privately and regretted sending the comment about her daughter.

The Mirror has reached out to her reps for comment.
