Love Island's Tasha's dad responds after Jacques is accused of 'bullying' star

Love Island's Jacques O'Neill has come under fire from Tasha Ghouri's dad - after he appeared to mock her in a viral video.

A clip of the Islander - who quit the show halfway through due to his own mental health - recently surfaced of him appearing to mock Tasha for her speech during the final, which aired earlier this week.

In the video, Jacques watches on as the final Islanders pledge their love to one another and when it came to Tasha making her speech to Andrew, he can be heard laughing with a friend as he shouts at the TV: "You are a liar, an actress, get the f**k out."

The short clip was said to have been posted to Jacques' private Instagram stories and angry fans have taken to social media to fume over his comments and now the model's dad has weighed in on the clip too.

Taking to Twitter, Tasha's father responded to a post about the video, as he appeared to make a dig at Jacques' behaviour, adding: "Some people grow and mature from their Island experience, some don’t. It is what it is."

Angry fans have been taking to social media themselves to fume over Jacques' comment.

"Jacques mocking Tasha in his private story is not only DISGUSTING but a COWARD move. Only a few weeks ago he was advocating for mental health," one angry fan penned.

Another added: "I was willing to give Jacques the benefit of the doubt and that he was truly working on himself. Then you see the clip of him belittling Tasha who's done nothing to him. Redemption arc folded like a deck of cards.

"He’s still a bullying p**** and using [mental health] is even worse."

A third shared: "I’m not even shocked I won’t lie to you he radiates bully energy watching him as the season went on reminded me exactly like the guys I went to school with who bullied those they saw weaker than them but would disguise it all in the name of banter when it’s anything but. Hope this opens people eyes to the exact type of guy Jacques is."

Jacques is not the only Islander who has been accused of bullying Tasha as Luca Bish and Dami Hope also apologised to the star during their time in the villa for taking things too far with the comments they made in a game.
