Isabel has gone after the new female bombshells, Mia and Boston, with all guns blazing in recent Love Island Australia episodes, accusing them of being “pick me” girls and not girls’ girls. However, she’s taken to Instagram to clarify that she bonded with the bombs, and said she’s just gotten a bad edit.
The new bombshells first ruffled feathers with the OG girls when they dated the OG men, while their partners watched on a big screen TV. Boston struck up a connection with Ross, who Isabel’s best friend in the villa, Sharn, has been coupled with since day one.
As Ross and Boston’s connection grew once all of the cast were back in the villa, Isabel encouraged Sharn to give Ross an ultimatum, and called Ross out on his behaviour — even once covering her partner Connor’s mouth with her hand while she gave Ross a dressing down.
Sharn and Isabel also had multiple conversations dismissing the new bombs, which is when they called Mia and Boston ‘pick me girls’. For the uninitiated, a ‘pick me girl’ is basically someone who seeks male approval by putting down other women and acting differently from other girls.
After these conversations, the male Islanders called out the woman for being rude to the newcomers, which really set off Isabel, who confronted Mia and wouldn’t let her get a word in.
Fans have taken to the official Love Island Australia Instagram page to call Isabel out over her treatment of the bombs.
“Izzy, the mean girl. True colours from that girl,” one person wrote. Another penned, “Connor was too scared to say anything, and Izzy covering his mouth was foul behaviour.”
Love Island Australia’s Izzy responds to mean girl accusations
Izzy has claimed that the scene showing her confronting Mia didn’t really happen like it played out on TV.
“Guys, I am just as rattled as everyone else! Mia and I literally hugged and laughed it off immediately after I finished talking,” she wrote on a TikTok post.
Isabel went on to say that she reassured Mia that she hated that she felt left out, which is why she wanted to talk to the bomb, and touched on why she wouldn’t let her speak.
“[Mia] explained she isn’t used to girls’ girl/female environments, which prompted my advice. I was being spoken over after listening to her side, so I said, “I’m still talking, sorry” But they ain’t gunna show all that, it doesn’t make good TV!!
“We all got along in the dressing rooms, had good vibes on our girlie dark day, bonding over silly men, did face masks and told each other our deepest darkest secrets.”
Isabel finished the comment by stressing that she is, in fact, a girl’s girl, and said the edit did her dirty.
“It’s really not that deep, the edit was f**ked and upset me but I’m not gunna sit here and justify myself, we know what happened as we were there and that’s all – be kind out there y’all.”
Love Island Australia airs Monday – Thursday on 9Now.
