Former Love Island star Katie Salmon found guilty of assault after ‘pummelling her boyfriend's 2nd girlfriend in street'
A FORMER Love Island star has been found guilty of assault after pummelling her boyfriend's second girlfriend in the street. Katie Salmon, who appeared in season two of the ITV dating show, reportedly attacked her victim with a hairdryer and stiletto shoe on a street in Kettering, Northampton. 6 6 The 29-year-old is understood to have targeted love rival Jyssica Memory, after discovering she was having an affair with her boyfriend, Anthony Kelly. Anthony, who had been with Katie for four years, allegedly sparked a secret relationship with Jyssica and promised her a life of luxury in Thailand. The victim was waiting outside a friends house with her bags packs when she claimed to be "ambushed" by her lover and Katie, as reported by the Northamptonshire Telegraph. Northampton Crown Court heard the former Love Island contestant kicked and punched Jyssica around 10 times. Katie, a born-again Christian and OnlyFans creator, is also understood to have used a hairdryer and stiletto heeled show in the onslaught. "Did you really think you were going to Thailand with my husband?" she was heard shouting. Kelly repeatedly added "f***ing little b***h", the court heard. A witness told how a terrified Jyssica was left on the floor curled up in the fetal position. The 29-year-old was hauled before a judge on July 11, where the jury were also shown shocking video footage. Jyssica's suitcase was emptied out on the street, with her clothes and underwear thrown around in a humiliating display. Love Island fans demand 'get her out' as they slam girl as 'liar' after she's confronted in tense scenes She had clumps of hair ripped from her head, and two black eyes after the horrific assault. Prosecuting, Quiana Fitzpatrick said: 'This was a planned ambush. They decided they would be speaking to her face to face. "It was planned because Harry [Kelly] lied to get the victim to the scene." But Salmon, whose real name is Katie Humphreys, argued she was the victim and "frightened for her life". She had gone to Northampton General Hospital for a split lip, where she required seven stiches. Her current boyfriend, Joe Rossi, supported her at court but had to be removed for causing disruption when he saw the photographs of Humphreys injury. She claimed it was Jyssica who hit her with a hairdryer, and gave her concussion. The mum-of-one told the court Kelly had egged her on to continue fighting. Kelly, who shared a daughter with Humphreys, has since died of suicide in Thailand. The couple, who got engaged in 2021, had been living out there. They moved back to the UK for the birth of their child in 2022, but were planning to return to Thailand before Kelly's death. Defending, Rachel Oakdene, said there were "conflicting accounts" of what happened. She argued: 'This incident was orchestrated by Harry [Kelly]. "Without wanting to speak ill of the dead, he appears to have been playing both of them like fiddles.' SECRET RELATIONSHIP The court heard how Kelly had also been dating Jyssica for four years. She had been sending Humphrey's videos from her Only Fans page, which showed the pair together. Kelly and his partner threatened Jyssica with legal action to remove the content from her platform. Humphreys said she was going to "set the record straight" with Jyssica on the night of the attack. Jyssica was told to pack her bags for Thailand and tell Kelly when she was ready to go. But instead she was confronted by Kelly, Humphreys, and a second man named Jimmy. The victim claimed she wasn't aware Kelly and Humphreys were back together. She claimed her on-and-off partner shouted "just kill her, I wish this b***h would die". In another moment he was recorded saying "I'm going to kill you. F***ing b***h. F***ing tramp. You're dead". After the shocking assault, during which witnesses told the court Jyssica made no attempt to fight back, the trio fled. But police arrested them later that evening. Humphreys was found guilty of assault on a person causing them actual bodily harm. She will be sentenced on September 15. 6 6
