Love Island star faces backlash for 'distasteful' post as fans express concern

Controversial Update

A Love Island contestant has ignited a social media storm after sharing what fans have described as an 'awful and distasteful' post.

Danica Taylor, known for her appearance on the eighth series of the popular reality show, posted the update two days ago.

Backlash from Fans

The 23-year-old shared a black and white image of herself with a caption that read, "Rest in peace x," leading followers to believe she had passed away.

Many fans found the post to be in poor taste, especially considering the tragic deaths of former Love Island stars.

Comments flooded in, with one follower urging Danica to delete the post, while another expressed concern over the triggering effect it had on some individuals.

Insensitive Prank

Given the history of Love Island contestants who have taken their own lives, fans were quick to criticize Danica's choice of caption.

Referring to the loss of other islanders like Mike Thalassitis and Sophie Gradon, one fan pointed out the insensitivity of the post.

Despite the backlash, Danica has yet to address the issue or respond to fans' concerns.

Controversial Relationship

On a different note, it was revealed last July that Danica is currently dating a single dad who featured in one of her music videos.
