Lochan Nowacki, known for his appearance on Love Island, has turned to TikTok to discuss what he believes led his ex-partner Whitney Adebayo to make recent controversial statements about their past relationship.
The two first met on the ITV2 dating show Love Island in 2023, where they finished as runners-up. Earlier this year, Whitney publicly announced their breakup and later alleged that Lochan had made derogatory remarks about her skin, which he vehemently denies.
Following a public exchange on social media, Lochan is now pursuing legal action against Whitney. He recently addressed the situation again, suggesting that his connection with another female influencer may have prompted Whitney’s accusations.
In a detailed video, Lochan dissected the timeline of events surrounding their split and Whitney’s claims. He pointed out instances where Whitney seemed to respond negatively to his collaborations with other women, leading up to her TikTok post accusing him of insulting her skin.
Expressing his frustration, Lochan emphasized that there were no previous racial accusations against him until his collaborations with female influencers began. He explained that he felt compelled to involve lawyers to challenge the damaging claims, citing the need to protect his reputation and integrity.
In response to the legal actions initiated by Lochan, Whitney’s representative stated her confidence in defending her position with her own legal team. Whitney also shared screenshots of text messages where Lochan allegedly admitted his mistake in making offensive comments about her skin.
Another claim made by Whitney involved Lochan allegedly referring to her as a character from The Colour Purple, a novel with racial connotations. Lochan denied this accusation and accused Whitney of distorting the truth.
Whitney took to Instagram to address the situation, highlighting the racial sensitivity of the issue and asserting her right to share her perspective despite the passage of time. She criticized Lochan for his alleged insensitivity and prioritization of reputation over genuine care.
As of now, Whitney has not responded to Lochan’s most recent video, continuing the ongoing dispute between the former partners.
