Love Island's Maura accused of 'sexually harassing' Tommy after 'forceful kiss'


Love Island fans are campaigning to have Maura Higgins removed from the villa, accusing her of sexual harassment.

The Irish vixen has been bringing some much needed fire to the ITV2 show, managing to cause a stir with love rival Molly-Mae.

But not all viewers have been impressed with her actions, with some calling for her to be axed from the show completely for her “unacceptable” behaviour.

Viewer Ciara Phillips has accused the 28-year-old ring girl of sexual harrassment and sexual assault after her “forceful kissing” of boxer Tommy Fury, reports Mirror Online .

The Change.org petition , which already has 160 signatures, reads: “I am concerned by Maura’s behaviour toward Tommy in the Villa.

“Her behaviour is unacceptable, sexual harassment and sexual assault . I understand it’s a show coupling up and sexual tensions run high and I have no issue with a women exploring her sexuality and being confident but Maura stepped over the line into sexual harassment.

Some fans want Maura axed over “sexual assault”

 

“It doesn’t matter how flirtatious Tommy was, he said NO. He looked very uncomfortable and his body language told her he didn’t want to be physical, he was pulling away for a reason. Maura ignored him and persisted and then forcefully kissed him without his consent.

“This is a very serious matter and I expect ITV and Love Island to deal with the matter appropriately with immediate effect. Set an example that this behaviour will not be tolerated. No means NO.”

Maura also revealed she thinks Michael is ‘afraid of Amber’.

She told Elma: “I think he might be a bit afraid of Amber… she didn’t speak to me, she wouldn’t even look me in the eye. She was the only girl to not look me in th eye.”

Maura went on to take Amber’s personality down, as she labelled her behaviour as ‘childish’.

Maure continued: “She’s been really rude. If I go and speak to Michael I fee eyes burning.

“I’m not really bothered if she wants to act like a child, then go for it.”

Michael has been getting closer to Amber but he hasn’t been totally convinced that his feelings are reciprocated as Amber has been a rather closed book so far.

He has been careful as to not upset Amber, who certainly seems to be on a short fuse, especially since Maura arrived in the mix.

Can Michael melt her frosty exterior or has Maura hit the nail on the head? The coming days will no doubt go some way to showing where they are heading.
