Love Islander Whitney Adebayo has hit out at her ex Lochan Nowacki again as she slammed his reasonings for calling her skin 'dirty' while they were in a relationship
Love Island star Whitney Adebayo has slammed her ex-boyfriend Lochan Nowacki after she claimed he 'called her skin dirty' - which Lochan denies. In an explosive TikTok post, Whitney slammed her ex before he also took to social media to issue his own response.
‌
The former flames met on Love Island in 2023, before finishing up in seventh place on the series. They continued their relationship on the outside until their split earlier this year.
‌
Things kicked off between the pair when Whitney posted a snap in a bright pink strapless bikini on a beach in Barbados. She wrote: "'You look happier," before adding: "Thanks! I finally fell in love with my skin he used to call dirty." It comes after Cruz Beckham 'steals' his dad's tiny white trunks and family have epic response.
‌
Amid speculation over which ex Whitney made the claims against, her sister Liz shared a screenshot of an alleged WhatsApp conversation with Lochan.
An alleged message from Lochan read: "Please speak to Whit she is fully cone and I feel awful but I never said it thinking her skin is dirty I feel sick I crossed line with joke but she she she can't look at me the same. I don't know what to do Liz [sic]"
Lochan took to TikTok to share his own side as he defended himself in a five minute clip. He said: "I don't even know really where to begin with this."
He explained that he and his family are "devastated and upset" about the allegations but feels like he had "no other choice" other than to address it on his own social media account.
Lochan said a year into their relationship, they were on a walk when Whitney started to show off her new nails. "She annoyingly put her nails in my face and said, 'My hands are so clean, yours aren't.' And I said, 'No they're not,'" he said.
‌
"I was just annoyed her hands were in my face - it was a very off the cuff remark. She looked at me in shock and said, 'You're calling me dirty.' I was taken aback by that. I felt insulted that my girlfriend - who I loved, who knows me, who knows that I would never insinuate something like that - is calling me a racist.
"I want to first off say I've never called someone's skin dirty, I would never. That to me is the most upsetting comment." Whitney has since shared a nine minute long TikTok video where she hit back at Lochan.
‌
She directly addressed her ex in the video as she asked: "Lochan, are we doing this? Are we really going to go for the nice boy, puppy dog eye look?"
Whitney went on to share her account of the incident as she explained: "We were walking back from lunch, going to his place, and I was in the sun. I was like, 'babe, look how my skin glistens in the sun'.
"He looked at me and was like 'ugh it's dirty'. Only when I lashed out, he was like 'it was a joke, it was a joke'. He was crying, he called all my family members saying 'it was a joke'."
‌
She added: "Because Lochan gives off his golden retriever energy, no-one would believe he would ever say it maliciously. I have dark humour so I know when something is a joke and when something is being said seriously and spun into it's a joke.
"I am not even here saying Lochan is a racist, I am here saying he made racial slurs towards me," Whitney said.
Addressing questions as to why she is speaking out now, the TV star replied: "I was embarrassed, I was ashamed and I didn't feel that part of my story was something I wanted to share until now.
"Now, I am not ashamed and embarrassed about it because I am one of many women that go through it and I am happy I am out of that situation and survived it."
