Why Was Love Island Alum Cashel Barnett Arrested in Utah? Everything We Know About Reality Star's Case So Far
Cashel Barnett, widely known as a former contestant of Love Island, was recently arrested for domestic violence. According to reports, the reality show alum has been held in custody in Utah. He was booked into Salt Lake County Jail on Monday.
A report by Entertainment Weekly states that Barnett was taken into custody on charges of assault and domestic violence, confirmed by the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Department. He is currently facing two third-degree felony counts of aggravated assault and domestic violence in the presence of a child, along with two counts of misdemeanor assault.
The star from Love Island was booked on these charges on May 9, and a warrant for his arrest was issued by a judge three days later. Additionally, Salt Lake County Deputy District Attorney Ronda Woolson has issued a no-bail warrant for Barnett.
This followed a lethality assessment conducted with the alleged victim, Cashel Barnett's former partner and the mother of their child. Reports say she feared Barnett might try to kill her if he wasn't held in custody.
Meanwhile, a detention hearing is scheduled for Thursday in the domestic violence case.
Talking to the outlet, Andrew K. Deesing, Barnett's attorney, said, "Upon learning about the arrest warrant, Mr. Barnett immediately retained counsel and surrendered to Utah's Third District Court first thing Monday morning."
According to authorities, Barnett's ex reported the April 10 incident on April 25. She stated that while trying to calm him with a hug, he slapped her arms away, followed her to the bedroom, lifted her by the neck, slammed her onto the bed, and choked her—all in front of their child.

Tom Cruise Reveals His ‘Brutal' Injury During MI8 Stunt: ‘Almost Broke My Back'
Tom Cruise 'almost broke" his back during the biplane action sequence in Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. Tom Cruise 'almost broke [his] back" during a dangerous stunt in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. The 63-year-old actor returned as IMF agent Ethan Hunt for the last time in the 2025 action blockbuster, and Cruise has now recalled the one stunt that nearly went too far. Watching the biplane battle between Ethan and the evil Gabriel (Esai Morales) with Entertainment Weekly, the Top Gun: Maverick star said: 'Oh, this almost broke my back!" In the sequence, Ethan has jumped from his plane onto Gabriel's, and is barely hanging on as the villain does all he can to knock the IMF agent off. Director Christopher McQuarrie added: 'You're talking about a lot of pain here." The danger in the biplane scene didn't end there, as Cruise – who completed all of his stunts himself for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning – had also seriously damaged his hands in the sequence. Later in the scene, Ethan clings onto the seatbelt of Gabriel's biplane for dear life as he hangs upside down. McQuarrie said: 'Now watch this: The thing we haven't talked about, holding on to this belt. 'This separated the joints in Tom's fingers from the force, so by the time we finished this sequence, your hands were absolutely swollen – oh my God, it was so painful to watch." Cruise admitted filming the sequence was 'brutal". In the following moment, Gabriel flips the plane into a roll, sending Ethan – still gripping the seatbelt – crashing against the side of the aircraft. Wincing as he watched the scene, Cruise said: 'Oh, that was brutal. That hit, that was a hard one." McQuarrie added: 'And you improvised that, thank you very much. I appreciate that. "You were like, 'I think we're gonna need that,' and I was like, 'I didn't ask you to do that.'" Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning – which also stars Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames and Pom Klementieff – follows Ethan Hunt as he faces his most perilous mission yet, confronting a powerful AI known as The Entity which knows his every move. With the IMF's future on the line and the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Ethan must decide how much he's willing to sacrifice to stop the evil machine. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning concludes the movie series which has dominated screens since 1996, and Cruise has said working on the action franchise has been 'the adventure of a lifetime". He wrote on Instagram: 'Over 30 years ago, I began the journey of producing my first film, Mission: Impossible. Since then, these eight films have taken me on the adventure of a lifetime." The War of the Worlds actor thanked all of his Mission: Impossible colleagues – including directors, actors, artists, and crews – who have played a role in the success of the film franchise. He continued: "To the incredible directors, actors, artists, and crews across the globe that have helped bring these stories to life, I thank you. It has been a privilege to work alongside you all." Cruise also expressed his heartfelt thanks to fans of the Mission: Impossible series. He concluded: 'Most importantly, I want to thank the audience, for whom it is our great pleasure to create these films, and for whom we all serve. 'We're thrilled to share The Final Reckoning with you." First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Tom Cruise recalls ‘brutal' biplane scene in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning that separated the joints in his fingers
Tom Cruise continues to defy gravity by doing most of his epic, death-defying action sequences by himself. With his recent release, Christopher McQuarrie's spy thriller Mission: Impossible – The Dead Reckoning, Cruise even earned a Guinness World Record for most burning parachute jumps after jumping out of a helicopter 16 times. Cruise spent a lot of his time in the air for the sequel Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, including the memorable sequence in which he dangles off the side of a biplane. 'Oh, this almost broke my back,' Cruise said. 'You're talking about a lot of pain here,' added McQuarrie. As if that wasn't enough, Cruise went through hell while holding onto the strap of the biplane seatbelt in mid-air. 'Oh God, that was brutal,' Cruise told Entertainment Weekly as McQuarrie adds, 'This separated the joints in Tom's fingers from the force, so by the time we finished this sequence, your hands were absolutely swollen — oh my God, it was so painful to watch.' Cruise and the stunt team spent weeks preparing for the action in Drakensberg, South Africa, before ascending more than 75,000 feet in the helicopter. The high-speed stunt, where Cruise's face was exposed to the wind at speeds of over 120 miles per hour, presented another serious challenge for the actor. 'When you stick your face out, going over 120 to 130 miles an hour, you're not getting oxygen. So I had to train myself how to breathe. There were times I would pass out physically; I was unable to get back into the cockpit,' he said. Cruise's commitment to performing dangerous stunts has earned him a legendary status in Hollywood, but it has also led to several physical challenges over the years. From scaling the Burj Khalifa in Dubai to holding his breath for over six minutes underwater, Cruise's passion for thrilling action sequences has often amazed his fans. Cruise's fellow action star Brad Pitt, who reunited with his Interview With Vampire (1994) co-star at the premiere of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, recently claimed cheekily that he'd love to collaborate with Cruise again as long as he stays on the ground. 'Well, I'm not gonna hang my a*s off airplanes and sh*t like that, so when he does something again that's on the ground,' he said. Also Read — Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, in all its exhaustive and bloated messiness, stands as a tribute to the myth of Tom Cruise Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is co-written by McQuarrie and Erik Jendresen. Cruise reprised his renowned role as Ethan Hunt in the dramatic ending to the Mission: Impossible franchise after eight movies. The cast also includes Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn, Ving Rhames as Luther Strickell, Vanessa Kirby as Alanna Mitsopolis, Hayley Atwell as Grace, Esai Morales as the antagonist Gabriel, Shea Wigham as Jasper Briggs, Greg Tarzan Davis as Degas, and Pom Klementieff as the assassin Paris.
