Whitney Adebayo, known from Love Island, has opened up about the backlash and racist abuse she faced after her appearance on the Sidemen’s Inside reunion.
Following the episode, where she was accused of mocking Uncle P (Patrice Evra) for his French accent, Whitney shared the horrific hate and racial slurs she found in her DMs.
Viewers criticized her for how she interacted with Patrice during the show, particularly for laughing at his English. This prompted fans to take to social media, with many expressing their disappointment. One user remarked,

“I’d like to take a moment to discuss something important after the airing of… Inside on Netflix.”

“stand out or don’t fit the stereotypical mold of being cute and quiet.”
Grateful for her supporters, Whitney affirmed that the hate only fuels her desire to grow and stay true to herself. Her boyfriend, Lochan Nowacki, expressed his pride in her and denounced the “shocking and disgusting world we sometimes live in!”
