When it comes to taking part in Love Island, you are always at 'risk' of being given a less than complimentary edit and this year's series of the dating show was a perfect example of that.
Fans of 'The Big Three' aka Toni Laites, Shakira Khan and Yasmin Pettet were constantly on the Love Island's Instagram page urging the producers to stop trying to paint the trio in a 'bad light.' From The Grafties to Movie Night, it seemed like whoever was in charge of the editing was desperate to have the viewers against Toni, Shakira and Yasmin. It didn't work though, as they ended up coming in first, second and third place.
And just like The Big Three, during her two stints on the romance reality TV show, Love Island 2024 icon turned All Stars finalist Grace Jackson divided fans with her straight talking, especially when it came to her brutal honesty with (now boyfriend) Luca Bish.
Back in the real world, Grace is still battling with unsavoury gossip and presumptions about her attitude.
TikTok star Bella Lindsay was a guest on the Saving Grace podcast recently where host, GK Barry, asked her to reveal the identity of the 'rudest' influencer she has ever met.
'I could not tell you their name, but I remember at an event, I think it was a Love Islander, and they'd like pushed in front of me,' Bella explained, 'I said, "you've just pushed in front," and they gave the, "do you know who I am?" I remember she was blonde.'
It didn't take long for people to start making comments on who they thought Bella was referring to with Grace's name being the top contender.
The bombshell has since taken to social media and responded to the accusations in the most iconic way possible. Oh Grace Jackson, the woman that you are.
'Just out here minding my business & taking flights,' the All Star captioned the video of herself as she was sat on a flight in a cute pink Gia tracksuit, using a £21 Laneige lip balm and minding her own business.
'When you start hearing the rumours about yourself that you didn't even know,' she added over the top of a TikTok as she lip-synced to T-Pain's Up Down which featured the lyrics, 'she a bad bitch, and she already know it.'
Obviously, fans and followers of Grace jumped to the comments section to back her up as did her fellow Love Island girlies.
'Period,' Grace's dating show pal Uma Jammeh commented, to which Grace responded, 'Thank u next✨.'
One fan wrote, 'I couldn’t imagine u saying that, ur classy babe x,' with another adding, 'People love to make assumptions and drag confident women as a bully.'
Hilariously, Grace's BFF Matilda Draper simply commented on the video, 'Hahahahaha.'
