Love Island’s Mitch Taylor is currently under fire for allegedly making homophobic comments at an event and now he’s speaking out about it.
Season 10 of Love Island UK brought so much to our screens – romance, intense drama… and Mitchel Taylor, who is also known to fans as ‘Messy Mitch’.
From hooking up with other men in the villa to U-turning his relationship when a bombshell emerged, Mitch arguably stole the show as an entertaining wildcard best.
And his journey as a pot stirrer is not over yet. Two Love Island alumni have been kicked out of a high-profile event over accusations of homophobia. It was later confirmed that the two people in question were Season 10’s Mitch Taylor and Zachariah Noble.
Is Love Island’s Mitch Taylor from Season 10 apologizing?
On September 25, Mitch released a TikTok to clarify his story, which has now gone viral with over 1 million views.
“I was talking to an influencer at the event and my words were ‘I like you when you’re candid,’” he said. I could be considered homophobic. Sometimes I’m really bad with words. I’m just nervous when I meet this person. I am a fan of them.”
The reality star went on to reveal the amount of backlash he received due to the misunderstanding.
Mitch said: “I had to take a break from social media over the weekend. The amount of hate, death threats, [and] The horrible comments I have received, I cannot deal with.”
Judging by the discussion on Love Island Reddit, fans aren’t sure whether to forgive and forget or add it to his long list of supposed mistakes.
One fan wrote: “Really, really don’t like Mitchel, but respect telling the truth. Other Love Island ‘stars’ would happily lie about this, but it seems he was being completely honest.
Another countered that, writing, “It’s funny to see people saying that anything Mitch says is 100% true when he’s been lying all season.”
