Thousands complain over ‘misogynistic’ Love Island behaviour

Ofcom received over 1,000 complaints about alleged "misogynistic" and "bullying" behaviour from contestants on Love Island last week.
More than half of these complaints concerned the 18 July episode, with specific allegations against Harrison, Harry, and Dejon for misogyny, and concerns for Shakira's mental wellbeing.
Women's Aid issued a statement criticising the show for "reinforcing culture trivialising violence against women and girls".
Contestant Harrison Solomon, who recently left the villa, apologised for his actions, admitting he "got it wrong" and hurt women like Toni and Lauren.
Earlier episodes also drew significant complaints, with specific allegations of misogynistic behaviour against Harrison on 15 and 17 July.
