The row began when Toni accused some of the Islanders of isolating others in the villa.
She said: 'You guys single people out and you make them feel bad about themselves.
"And then when I called you out about it on the fire pit, you looked at me like I was crazy. Look at the way you made her feel.'
Harry replied, 'We listened to you and heard you out,' but Toni pushed back: 'You do the same exact thing on a larger scale.'
Dejon tried to calm things down, saying: 'We don't need to shout and scream and be troubled. Let's just have a conversation.'
Conor also weighed in, adding: 'The better thing to do would be to say that to me if we're such good friends.'
Harry later admitted fault, saying: 'Looking back, we should have done that, yeah, 100%.'
Dejon agreed, adding: 'Of course we should have said that to you, man.'
Shakira then addressed speculation about her feelings for Harry, making it clear that she had no intention of rekindling their relationship.
'Never at one point here in this whole experience has anyone come back me up after I've ended things with Harry,' she said. 'Have I ever said I want to get back with Harry?'

When Harry confirmed she hadn't, Shakira replied: 'Yeah, exactly. So everyone can shut the f*** up about it.'
This year's edition of the ITV2 dating show has seen a long-running divide between the girls in the villa.
For the most part it has mostly consisted of close pals Toni, Shakira and Yasmin against Meg, Helena, and Megan.
Whilst the feud has been clear to see and has been hinted at many times in the villa, it was only during The Grafties that all six girls were forced to confront the issues head on.
It came as Toni and Shakira collected the award for Best Double Act but fans were quick to slam this decision ahead of the series finale in just over a week's time.
In the scenes, the group saw a video of Toni and Shakira expressing their disdain for Meg after a number of clashes with the star.
They also took issue with Helena and for her close bond with Meg.
As Meg pleaded that she was the same to the pair in front of their face, Toni insisted she was not as the divide was soon addressed.
Yasmin quickly jumped in to insist there had been a "divide" from the start as many of the Islanders appeared to nod in agreement.
Toni stated that the divide came from Meg, Helena and Dejon not being "warm and welcoming" and for going off on their own and leaving others out of their conversations - namely her, Shakira and Yasmin.
It's not the first time fans have grumbled at show bosses by claiming the editing is "rigged" to portray Shakira and Toni negatively despite them being the ones who appear to have been isolated by Meg and Helena.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
