It has since been revealed that a family member has released a tell-all book exposing the TV star.
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.
Despite this, Dejon has failed to address the video and his stepsister's claims and instead has been hitting the party scene with his co-stars.
Yesterday, Dejon and girlfriend Meg joined Harrison, Lauren, Helena, Angel and Ty for dinner and drinks.
And today Dejon was pictured smiling alongside Meg with Lauren and Harrison.
The photo was captioned: "My people," with a red heart emoji.
HUGE FALLOUT
In the six minute video, 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.
"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.
Love Island hit by over one THOUSAND Ofcom complaints in just a week as fans SLAM villa boy
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".
Speaking to the Daily Mail, 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."'

Emmerdale fans shocked to discover top music star once appeared on ITV soap
Emmerdale fans have been shocked to find out that a famous singer once appeared on the ITV soap a decade ago, just before he found mainstream success in music Emmerdale fans have been left shocked after learning that a top music star once appeared on the ITV soap more than a decade ago. In 2015, Dominic Richard Harrison signed up to play the part of Matt, wh o had a short stay in the fictional Yorkshire village as a potential love interest for Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper). Two years after his stint on the ITV programme, Dominic had reinvented himself under the stage name of Yungblud, and has since released four albums, the latest of which was titled Idols and came out in June. But upon discovering the truth, Emmerdale fans flooded social media with their reactions. One wrote on X: "How did I not notice him!!" whilst another said: "Right petition for Dom to get back to the village.". A third penned: "@Yungblud how didn't I notice you in emmerdale" and a fourth simply said: "This is so cute." It comes after ITV makes major decision on I'm A Celebrity's future after talks with officials. The following year, Yungblud starred in the Disney series The Lodge, which functioned as a musical and mystery drama that centred on the life of Skye Hart (Sophie Simnett), a teenage girl who relocates to rural Northern Ireland when her father takes over the North Star hotel. The musician had a recurring role as Oz, a singer who featured as a love interest for the character of Kaylee (Jade Alleyne). His roles in Emmerdale and The Lodge are so far his only two credited acting roles, but Yungblud is not the only singer to have started out on a soap opera. Spice Girls star Mel B appeared as Bettabuys worker Amy Nelson in Coronation Street in 1993, having been drafted in to film a single scene as the character when original actress Louise Duprey decided to suddenly quit. In the years that followed, Mel enjoyed major success alongside Geri Halliwell, Melanie C, Emma Bunton and Victoria Beckham as part of the world's best-selling girl band in history. What's more, her bandmate Emma, who was known as Baby Spice, had appeared as a mugger in BBC soap EastEnders before finding global fame. Before finding success as part of The 1975, Matty Healy appeared as an extra in the first series of Waterloo Road when his mother Denise Welch starred as hapless French teacher Steph Haydock. Louis Tomlinson was also seen on the BBC school drama in the years before he shot to fame as part of One Direction. And Sam Fender, now best known for hits such as Seventeen Going Under and Hypersonic Missiles, appeared in an episode of the detective series Vera. At the time, he joked: "I got killed in the first ever episode of that ITV detective programme called Vera set in the North East. I lasted like 10 seconds, I think.' For Yungblud, the news comes just hours after he was hailed the new Prince of Darkness thanks to his close friendship with the late Ozzy Osbourne. He said: 'I want to achieve what Ozzy did. He was a great inspiration to me.' Ozzy and Doncaster-born star Dom, became friends after the Brummie rocker appeared in the video for Yungblud's song The Funeral in 2022. The pair bonded over their shared love of music and their rebellious nature, with Ozzy gifting Dom one of his famous crucifix necklaces. Yungblud was among huge bands such as Metallica and Guns N' Roses who performed at Black Sabbath's final gig at Villa Park in Birmingham on July 5. He gave a heartfelt rendition of Changes, the No1 hit Ozzy recorded with daughter Kelly in 2003, to the 45,000-strong before Ozzy's death, Dom hinted he was working with Sabbath star and at a possible secret recording with his mentor, saying: 'There is a lot in the works as me and Ozzy are friends.' The wild man of rock died aged 76 on July 22 at home in Buckinghamshire after suffering a cardiac arrest. Dom was among big names from the music world, such as Sir Elton John, James Hetfield of Metallica and Marilyn Manson, who attended Ozzy's funeral in Birmingham on July 30.

Emmerdale fans 'rumble who kills John Sugden' as three characters 'to team up'
Emmerdale fans think a new twist on the way will lead to John Sugden's downfall on the ITV soap, and that he could meet a grisly end at the hands of three characters Amid the news of another shocking death looming on Emmerdale, fans believe time could be up for John Sugden. He could be about to trigger his own downfall with a deadly action, and fans think three characters will ensure his grisly end as a result. John has got away with his crimes for too long, including the murder of Nate Robinson, the framing of Ella Forster, his attack on Aidan Moore and him leaving Owen to die. He's also targeted many villagers and left them in danger so that he can then save them and be the hero. It comes as it was reported last week that Mackenzie Boyd is being killed off, making him the next victim of killer John. But amid Robert Sugden currently being the only one to suspect his brother is hiding something dark, fans are now guessing how John will ultimately be exposed and caught. So far John has remained undetected and everyone, except Robert, is singing his praised including his husband Aaron Dingle. With Aaron being Robert's ex-husband, villagers are convinced Robert simply has a vendetta against his sibling out of jealousy. But one new theory off the back of Mack's reported death could see three characters team up and take John down. The theory suggests that the characters in question will find out at some point who killed Mack, as well as Nate, and it will spark a revenge twist. Viewers believe after Mack and Nate's murders, Charity, Cain and Moira Dingle will all want to avenge this and kill John. With Charity being Mack's wife, Moira being his sister and Cain being his brother-in-law, not forgetting Nate is Cain's son, fans have wondered if the trio will plot payback. Might news of Mack's demise and John being rumbled lead to him meeting just as dark a fate as his victims? Fans think so, with one writing: "John will have killed Cain's son, Moira's brother and Charity's husband. And you really don't want to cross those three. "There is no way he is getting out of Emmerdale alive." Other fans are desperate for it to be Robert who exposes John and takes him down after the way he's treated him, and with no one believing him. It comes after the reports of Mack being killed off, yet to be confirmed officially by Emmerdale. While not announced it's thought to happen at some point soon, with Mack set to unearth what John has been up to. Just months ago it was teased"life-changing" scenes were on the way this September for Mack and best pal Aaron. Now it's stated that Mack is leaving the show after five years with actor Lawrence Robb thought to be bowing out of the show, with scenes already filmed. It was only a matter of months ago that Mack was onto villain John, leading to John framing him for the slurry leak on the farm. Mack dropped his vendetta against the character deciding he was a good person, but it seems something leads to him realising this isn't the case.

ITV make Good Morning Britain vow after rumours of presenters' contract shake-up
There had been speculation over the future of a number of ITV's presenters and while the channel's bosses refuse to be drawn on speculation, they have made a vow to viewers ITV has issued a statement after speculation some of their biggest morning stars have only received short-term contracts. It comes after reports Richard Madeley was only offered a six month contract as the channel continues its reshuffle. Good Morning Britain's Richard Madeley is one of the breakfast show's mainstays, but speculation says he has only been given a short-term assurance on his future. The 69-year-old presenter often features alongside Susanna Reid. Previous statements have confirmed there is set to be a shakeup of things come January, but with speculation over the future of certain stars, ITV has moved to assure viewers. "We don't comment on individual contracts but we have always said that we intend to keep our daytime shows familiar to our audience," a statement to the Mirror read. " Good Morning Britain viewers can expect to see the presenting line up that they know and love on screen once the proposed changes to production and scheduling take place in 2026." The statement comes after an insider told The Sun: "Richard is one of the biggest names on the show but even he hasn't been offered a long-term deal. He's signed for six more months and will then re- consider how the show looks. "Some are going to go in the reshuffle, so it will depend on who rates well with focus groups and how much money each of them is insisting on." It hasn't been confirmed if any renewed deals would also be for fewer hours. In May, it was claimed that Richard could be facing the chop with the changes imminent. Last week on the programme, Good Morning Britain's Noel Phillips opened up about being scammed for his entire life savings after he fell for a scam which left him 'lying numb on the floor'. Speaking on the show on Wednesday, North American correspondent Noel Phillips joined Ed Balls and Kate Garraway via video link to discuss the how he lost his entire life savings. He explained how scammers called him and pretended to be representatives from Chase Bank. They told him his account had been compromised. When he called back the number, which somehow, connected him to his bank's customer service, he realised it was a trick that had made the call look like it was legitimate. Moments later, the scammers rang back again and he received a notification from his banking app, informing him of a payment he had not made. Sadly, Noel had been locked out the system and when he moved quickly to tell the bank, the fraudsters were still on the line. Before he knew it, he had made a transaction, losing his entire life savings of almost $30,000. The scammers had convinced the presenter that he had to transfer his money into separate accounts, which they said had his name on it. They persuaded him that the staff were responsible for the fraud, and he should avoid informing them of what had happened.
