The “Love Island” star exports an apology after the reaction to an offensive function

On Instagram, Austin Shepard, who was recently delivered from the “Love Island” villa after his failure to form a permanent communication after five weeks in Fiji, an apology for the participation of an offensive post on social media accounts.

“I want to stop a moment to address its last republishing, which caused some of you to be insulted,” Shaybard, 26, wrote in his Instagram stories on Saturday, July 5.

Although the “Love Island” contestants are cut off from the outside world while they are inside the villa, Shepard has been fire from Fandom since it was announced as part of the actors in late May 2025.

Before broadcasting the first episode, Sleuths via the Internet has found Shepard Tiktok accounts, which are allegedly characterized by racist content.

After being delivered from the villa in the July 3 episode, Shabard responded to share other problems, which caused more anger.

“I realize that my choice of content did not hesitate to resonate well with everyone, and for this I apologize sincerely,” she added in a publication. “I am committed to learning from this experience and being more aware in the future. Thank you for your understanding and for me.

End, “I love you all (and) Thank you very much for an incredible experience.”

Chaibard’s apology also comes a few days after the reality star released with a separate and emotional statement after a fan asked him if he was “racist intolerance.”

“I will pay this attention only once because this, like, crazy.” “Are you stupid, like, frankly, are you stupid? Don’t you think?”

Later, Sheberd indicated that he could not be racist because he had a specific tattoo, saying: “I have a black woman on my side.”

“Use your head,” end.

on I respondedMany users wondered whether Shepard’s apology was honest, considering that he used the “same” tune words “as another contestant, Yulissa Escobar, who was delivered from the island on the second day to use it in a racist show before appearing in the show.

Another Shepard user criticized his lack of actions, and writing, “I was actually respecting if they only had what they felt.”

They added, “They only apologize for being arrested. That’s all that is at all. No one is” sorry. “

However, a third user showed sympathy for Shepard, and asks “Love Island” subreddit, “What will be enough to apologize from Austin to stop you?”

“They get death threats and endless harassment from thousands of people,” the user continued. “Yes, non -sensitive republishing is badly. Yes, you should apologize. What do you want them too, though, the bullying by the members of the actors team is legally crazy.”

This scenes are not the only one who has these feelings. In June 2025, Producers She issued multiple warnings to the viewers, and urged them to realize what they share online about the island’s residents.

“Please just remember that they are real people, so let’s be kind and spread love.”
