"Nasty nasty bullies"— Love Island UK fans criticize Jess and Nicole for not supporting Harriet

Love Island UK season 11 aired a brand new episode this week on Wednesday, June 26, 2024. During the segment, the islanders indulged in a game of Never Have I Ever, but one cast member's issue with another affected the whole group.

Harriet and Ciaran got into an argument after the latter commented on how Harriet wasn't being truthful in the game, and reminded her that she spoke negatively about his relationship with Nicole while praising him to his face. Meanwhile, Jessica seemingly supported the male cast member, while Nicole didn't say anything to put an end to things.

Fans of the show took to social media to react to the segment, and criticized the two female cast members for not taking a stand. One person, @yhchels, wrote on X (Formerly known as Twitter):

"Get Nicole and Jess out of the villa omg. Nasty nasty bullies esp. Jess, Nicole needs to go by default — Harriet obviously made those comments to gas her up because Nicole is so incredibly insecure then she's run off to tell Kieran ACC vile #loveisland."

"Nicole and Jess sitting there laughing at the remarks to Harriett?? These girls r so so terrible ppl even when they could see she was getting upset and yes even tho she shouldn't have made those comments that was sh*tty #loveisland," another person commented.

"Jess is disgusting and Nicole is just sat there letting Ciaran talk to Harriet like that. COME ONNN NOWWW #loveisland," a fan mentioned.

Love Island UK season 11 fans supported Harriet and said:

"At this point, Harriet is getting bullied. Ciaran's comments were completely unprovoked and nasty, Jess grinning at Harriet's demise AGAIN and Nicole sat stroking her man while her 'mate' is crying... They all wanna see my girl unhappy #loveisland," a fan commented.

"I'm so concerned for Harriet's wellbeing. The babe is being bullied on national television? Is there no code of conduct? Jess coming across as someone that peaked in secondary school. Ew. #loveisland" another fan wrote on X.

"Jess laughing and even backing ciaran. Nicole not checking ciaran. Ronnie not walking with Harriet. Don’t care if you like her or not, Harriet is being bullied in that villa. #loveisland and she’s always making sure the girls are ok," another person wrote.

Love Island UK season 11 fans criticized Ciaran for his argument with Harriet:

"Ciaran was unnecessarily nasty to Harriet and I do feel bad for her. but I feel like both of them are getting bullied by the villa and he’s taken his frustration out on her, both can be true #LoveIsland," a fan wrote.

"Oh no tbh. This show is too nasty for me I don’t like when people are just randomly bullied like this I actually can’t watch this bc it’s pissing me off. People gagging over Ciaran taking his flop relationship frustration out on Harriet, oh please #loveisland," another fan commented.

Love Island UK season 11: Ciaran asks Harriet to "cut the bulls**t"

In the latest episode of Love Island UK season 11, a game of Never Have I Ever turned not so fun when Ciaran called Harriet out for talking negatively behind his back.

When Uma read out the card 'Never Have I Ever Been Two Faced' about someone in the villa, Jess asked if everyone was being honest. She took a sip of her drink and noted that she would admit to it since she can say things to people's faces as well. Ronnie and Ciaran also took sips and the latter elaborated on it after Jess asked him who was pointing at.

Mentioning Harriet, the Love Island UK season 11 star said that she told Nicole to be careful of him while telling him that he was good to her.

"People make comments, and then straight after, be all nice to me and say, you know, for instance, 'You need to be careful with him" and then, 'Oh, but you're actually really good, Ciaran, with her, you know, you treat her so well,' so cut the bulls**t."

In response, the Love Island UK season 11 cast member called him immature and said it was "actually embarrassing." Ciaran retaliated and said:

"At least I haven't been second choice three times."

Jess laughed at the comment while Nicole sat silent as Ciaran continued to argue with Harriet. Eventually, the former said that people should be able to take it if they wanted to dish it.

Fans of the show took to social media to chime in about the segment and criticized Jess and Nicole for not taking a stand, but also supported Harriet as they felt the cast member was being bullied.
