LOVE Island's Dejon has clapped back at "false" slurs on his character after his step sister branded him a "narcissist."
The ITV2 show alum, who was voted out with partner Meg ahead of Monday's show final, took to TikTok to address the allegations in his first ever video.

It came just hours after the Love Island 2025 OG, 26, put on a brave face with his co-stars following the family slam.
Niah, who is not biologically related to Dejon but shares a brother with him, took to TikTok to give fans an unfiltered glimpse into the 'real Dejon' and insisted he is "manipulative" and "narcissistic".
She has even gone as far as to write her own account in a tell-all book named 'Surviving Dejon', which is already available to buy.
After the rumours swirled - and coming under fire for his controversial behaviour on the show and being branded a "gaslighter" by fans - he has spoken out.
Dejon appeared topless in his new clip, donning a bling diamond necklace.
He strolled around a room with crisp white walls and exposed black beams and initially thanked fans for their support.
He said of the good wishes: "It really means the world to me, honestly especially in times like now.
"I feel like there's a lot of false stories out there about me which are very untrue, unfair and I feel like from that, really big up to my supporters.
"I'm excited and looking forward to showing you guys who I really am.

"For now, lets go play some table tennis."
The end of the clip showed him reunited with Meg as they played table tennis.
SHOCK CLAIM
In her scathing six minute video, his step sister Niah claimed that what viewers have seen on TV is an accurate reflection of how Dejon behaves in real life.
She began: " So I've decided to speak out because I've been silent for way too long and I know that I will be receiving probably a lot of backlash from my family for this.
LOVE ISLAND VOTING PERCENTAGES
TONI and Cach won the Love Island 2025 final - yet what were the exact voting percentages?
Las Vegas waitress Toni Laites and professional dancer Cach Mercer went head-to-head with OG islanders Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley in a nail-biting finale.
However, Toni and Cach were triumphant and won the summer series after surviving a love triangle just two weeks before the final.
A results table shared on Love Island's Instagram account this afternoon showed Toni and Cach were the runaway winners on the night, taking over a third of the votes, with 33.5% of viewers backing them for the crown.
However, Shakira and Harry drew a sizeable 26.2% of the votes, and Yas and Jamie were not far behind taking 22% on the nose.
Aesthetics practitioner Angel, 26, only made her debut on July 17, but managed to secure an impressive 18.3% of the overall voting audience with Casa Amor boy Ty.
"You guys are all clearly very traumatised from seeing Dejon on TV and seeing everything that he's doing and watching everything play out it seems as though no one is holding him accountable.
She went on to say: 'Dejon is a narcissist, he's manipulative. I've been telling everyone this for the past 10 years now but no one believed me. And it's just crazy now that the whole of the UK can see what I've been trying to explain to people for so long.
She continued: 'I didn't want to speak out on this. That's why I haven't made any videos directly explaining anything about him because I know that it can affect my family in a bad way.
"And I do completely understand if they are upset with me for this post.
She added: "One thing I will say is, I knew from the beginning, from the first episode I knew exactly what was going to go down.
"It's just a shame because I don't want him to be seen like this, but I genuinely don't think that he sees that he's a narcissist, you know? and I actually do feel bad for Meg in a sense."
Speaking about the book alongside a trailer for it, she penned: 'This book answers everything. reasons why I spoke out. Why fear kept me silent for so long. How I lost everyone and everything I ever cared about.
'It reveals the truth behind the rumours I never wanted to address. I need to tell my truth in the way that I feel in control. This is not for attention, creating this book was like therapy for me.
'I would never put my reputation on the line or lose the people I loved if I didn't have a powerful reason to finally speak.'
Niah even posted a trigger warning for the book as it contains: "emotionally intense and potentially distressing content".
DEJON'S TAKE
Speaking to the Daily Mail previously, Dejon has hit back at claims of him being a 'narcissist', he said: "I do take full accountability for how I communicated at times in the villa.
"The girls who were on the show with me say I'm not a narcissist, I'm not a gaslighter, all of these things they have seen online, it means a lot to me because they spent 24 hours a day with me.
"I could have handled situations better but when it comes to being a 'narcissist' and these words, empathy is definitely something that I have, it's something I had for Meg, for Harry, and when Meg was upset, I was there for her, and when Harry was upset it would break my heart.
"Me and Harry had a thing, we called it fitness and feelings where we would go to the gym and I would say "don't worry H, we can be free here, our tears, people will think they're sweat."'
