George Fensom was embroiled in a controversy over allegations of cheating made by his ex-girlfriend, Ebony Skeeley, just days before his debut on the ITV2 dating show Love Island. He has also been accused of being racist. And now he has responded to these accusations.
Firstly, let’s talk about these accusations! On December 18, 2022, Skeeley took to TikTok to share a video featuring her ex-boyfriend, Fensom. She showed a series of pictures capturing their moments together, accompanied by labeled words that shed light on their relationship.
She labeled the television personality as a cheat in one picture, highlighting his unfaithfulness. Another label given to him was narcissism, implying his self-centered tendencies.
Additionally, Skeeley accused George of being controlling, dictating her clothing choices, and making negative remarks about her appearance. She further claimed that he repeatedly asked her for money while never offering to contribute or split expenses.
Likewise, Skeeley stated that Fensom had a pattern of constantly lying to others and making empty promises. She also asserted that his insecurities led him to have low standards in relationships.
Moreover, when questioned by others in the comment section, Skeeley shared additional details about her experiences with George. In response to one person, she revealed that he would publicly scream in her face and then falsely claim to his family that she had to leave events due to her anxiety.
The television personality’s ex girlfriend also addressed another commenter, expressing the ongoing challenges she faced in her healing process. She admitted that she still found it difficult to trust others and seek therapy despite the passage of time.
George Fensom was accused of being racist
The recent casting of Fensom in Love Island has sparked heightened concerns due to his association with Dom Marino, who was previously fired from Red Bull Racing for being racist.
On May 30, 2023, a user with the username Exposing George Fensom shared a screenshot consisting of two pictures. The first picture showed Marino engaging in racist behavior through text, while the second picture featured Fensom alongside Marino in a group photograph.

The Twitter post not only revealed the connection between Fensom and Marino but also brought to light additional concerns about Fensom’s behavior. It was exposed that the television personality had written tweets on Twitter.
One of those tweets read, “same gay tweets day in day out,” whereas in another tweet, he mentioned his brother Harry and called him a “f****t” and told him to “shut the [explicit] up.”
These details contribute to the overall concern surrounding Fensom’s participation in Love Island and raise doubts about his suitability as a role model.
Fans reacted to George Fensom’s association with racists
After the picture of Fensom and Marino together went viral, numerous fans of Love Island shared their opinions on the matter.
One Twitter user expressed their , stating, “Show hasn’t even started yet and this guy’s already been exposed for racism, homophobia, and abusing an ex??? Great background checks are done by the LI team!”
really do better please, you clearly on care about what a person looks like and not what they are like on the inside. Better vetting is needed! — Kingy (@HistoryNut30)
The issue even drew the attention of notable figures, including Andrew McBride, who voiced their concerns. On May 30, 2023, McBride took to to express his thoughts, stating, “It’s abundantly clear that ITV @itv are just full of shit when it comes to safeguarding & duty of care. They’ve cast a guy called George on Love Island who is very problematic regarding racism, misogyny, and homophobia.”
Likewise, numerous fans of Love Island expressed their strong disapproval and called for his removal from the show, deeming his actions and associations as unacceptable.
George Fensom responds to cheating and racist accusations
After these accusations spread across the internet like wildfire, Fensom had no other choice but to respond to them and make things clear. And so did he by openly addressing these accusations to MailOnline.
He first talked about the racist accusations and apologize. He said, “It’s really unfortunate that that’s been bought up because that isn’t the person that I am today. Looking back on those tweets, I was really naïve and really young to think that was the right thing to say.”
“It’s obviously not the right thing to say on my behalf… That’s pretty much it really,” he added. He also clarified that those messages were made around a decade ago and said, “We continue to learn now what is right and what is wrong.”

“In regards to people saying that I’m not right for the villa, all I would say is this, everyone’s made mistakes. Everyone has said things that they regret. The difference in the way that I’ll defend myself is the way that I’m owning that.”
“And I’ve admitted that that was the wrong thing to say. And actually, if I could turn back time, then I wouldn’t have said the things that I said. That’s all I can do to defend myself and say in this scenario,” Fensom concluded his apology for the racist accusations.
Following that, he addressed the cheating accusations made by his ex-girlfriend. He mentioned, “I want to be as respectful as I can towards her because I appreciate that she isn’t in the public eye as I am in this scenario.”
“It’s really unfortunate and actually quite upsetting on my behalf that a picture has been painted about me in that light.”
Fensom continued, “I’m looking forward to moving forward with things and going into the villa and just providing a new wave of energy and to prove that the things that have been written about me aren’t true. People can see a different light to me.”

Fensom was then asked if the Love Island duty of care policies had taught him anything, to which he responded positively. He said, “Absolutely. Every day is a learning day, and every day you learn things, no matter if it’s regard to a work aspect or relationships and things.”
“People react differently to different things, and people feel a certain way about different things as well. I feel like by watching these videos by ITV they have been really beneficial because it just refreshes your memory on what is acceptable and what isn’t acceptable.”
“It’s really to constantly refresh and to think, actually, these are the wrong ways, and these are the right ways,” he concluded his statement.

Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet Move In After Three Years of Dating
Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are officially cohabitating after nearly three years of dating, marking a massive milestone for the high-profile pair.
The beauty mogul and the Marty Supreme actor have reportedly decided to move in together as their relationship reaches a new level of permanence. The news comes on the heels of Chalamet’s most public display of affection yet: a heartfelt declaration of love during his acceptance speech at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards.
An Emotional Night at the Critics Choice Awards
On Sunday, January 4, Chalamet took home the Best Actor trophy for his portrayal of Marty Mauser in the 1950s drama Marty Supreme. While the couple skipped the red carpet, they sat side-by-side throughout the ceremony. Upon his win, cameras captured the two sharing a sweet kiss before Chalamet took the stage.
“Lastly, I’ll just say thank you to my partner of three years. Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn’t do this without you,” Chalamet gushed from the podium. A visibly emotional Jenner was seen in the audience smiling and mouthing “I love you” back to the actor.

The Move to Los Angeles
The declaration of love appears to be the public confirmation of a private shift in their living situation. A source close to the couple shared that Chalamet has relocated most of his belongings to Jenner’s Los Angeles estate to be near her and her two children, Stormi and Aire.
“Timothée has become a staple in the household,” an insider told Page Six. “Kylie loves his work ethic, and he has built a wonderful foundation with her kids. They are finally at a place where they want to be together under one roof full-time.”
Navigating Fame and Family
Despite their global status, the duo has notoriously kept their romance low-key since first being linked at a Beyoncé concert in 2023. However, 2025 and early 2026 have seen them become more comfortable in the spotlight, appearing together at the Palm Springs International Film Festival just one night prior to the Critics Choice Awards.
The move signifies a serious commitment for the Kardashians star, who has been focused on her massive business empire and raising her children since her split from Travis Scott. For Chalamet, the move coincides with a career peak, with Marty Supreme currently holding strong at the box office.

Kay and Tay Dudley Family Update 2026: Meet Baby Sutton Blair and Big Sister Ellie
American social media sensation Tay Dudley and his wife Kay have joyfully welcomed a new bundle of joy into their lives.Tay and Kay welcomed their…
Social media sensations Kay and Tay Dudley have significantly expanded their family and online presence since the birth of their first child together in late 2023. As of January 2026, the couple has transitioned into a “two under two” lifestyle, having welcomed their second daughter together this past autumn.
A Growing Family: Welcoming Sutton Blair
On October 7, 2025, Tay and Kay welcomed their second daughter together, Sutton Blair Dudley. Affectionately nicknamed “Bug,” Sutton arrived at 4:29 p.m., weighing 7 lbs. 15 oz. The couple exclusively shared the news with PEOPLE, describing the transition as a “bittersweet” end to their pregnancy journey but a thrilling start to their new adventure as a family of five.
The name Sutton carries a special meaning as a family name from Tay’s side, while Blair is a nod to the place where Kay lived when she was born. Fans were quick to notice the contrast to their first daughter’s name, as “Sutton” and “Blair” lean toward a more classic aesthetic compared to the gender-neutral “Elliott Mae.”
Elliott Mae (“Bean”) and the Big Sister Role
Their first daughter together, Elliott Mae Dudley, turned two in November 2025. Now widely known to their millions of followers as “Ellie” or “Bean,” she has become a central figure in their content. To celebrate her second birthday, the couple threw an elaborate Bluey-themed party, complete with an “Adopt a Floppy” station.
Ellie has reportedly taken to her big sister duties with enthusiasm, appearing in numerous TikToks alongside baby Sutton. The couple continues to use the “Bean” nickname, which even inspired a specialized jewelry collection launched by Kay in 2024.
The Dudley Family Dynamic
With the arrival of Sutton, the Dudleys are now a family of five:
- Kinsley (14): Kay’s oldest daughter from a previous relationship. While Kay and Tay increasingly include her in their broader family descriptions, they continue to respect her privacy (and the wishes of her biological father) by keeping her face blurred or off-camera in most viral content.
- Elliott Mae (2): Their first child together, born in 2023.
- Sutton Blair (Infant): Their newest addition, born in October 2025.
From “Cringe Couple” to Parental Icons
Since their initial virality in 2022, @kayandtayofficial has grown to over 20 million followers across platforms. While they still lean into their “cringe couple” moniker with playful pranks and Tay’s “POV” filming style, their content has shifted heavily toward the realities of parenting “two under two.”
In late 2025, they shared their first official holiday card as a family of five, featuring all three girls in matching plaid outfits. Despite the challenges of managing a newborn and a toddler, the couple maintains that their success is rooted in the same consistency and authenticity that first launched them to stardom.
This video provides an exclusive interview where Kay and Tay discuss the transition from two to three children and the story behind baby Sutton’s nickname.

Social media sensation Zoe LaVerne left her fans shocked when she revealed during a live session that both of her parents are siblings.
However, Zoe quickly clarified that despite the familial connection, she does not consider it incestuous.
She explained, “So my mom and my dad, because like my dad and my mom Debbie, since they are siblings, it sounds incest but it’s not. It’s really confusing to talk about.”
As expected, Zoe’s live confession spread like wildfire across various online platforms, with tea pages, such as teatoktalk, sharing the video on their pages.
The moment viewers caught wind of the video, they wasted no time expressing their opinions, with one fan commenting, “girl, it’s definitely incest.”
Another exclaimed, “tf she means it’s not incest when they’re literally siblings who had children together.” LaVerne’s revelation seemed to have divided her audience, with some questioning her explanation.
However, amidst the wave of criticism, some fans stepped forward to defend LaVerne and shed more light on the situation.

One supporter highlighted, “Y’all, her mom is her aunt who adopted her. She didn’t explain it very well, but let’s not be weird about this.”
Another fan chimed in, saying, “Guys, she talked about it a long time ago. Her mother died because of alcohol abuse, as I remember, and her auntie adopted her and took care of her, and Zoe calls her mom.”
The following comment read, “Her “mom” is her aunt that had to take custody of her, not her biological mother. Her wording was very weird and an explanation on her part would’ve been good…”
A look at Zoe LaVerne’s family
LaVerne’s adoptive parents’ names are Debbie Pemberton, originally her aunt, and Douglas Wright. Additionally, she has two brothers: her biological brother, Eric Pemberton, and her stepbrother, Cameron.
LaVerne cherishes her relationships with her family, taking the time to express gratitude to them, especially to her mother.

On January 23, 2023, she wished her mother a Happy Birthday by posting several pictures on her Instagram and calling her “best friend.”
She expressed, “happy birthday to my best friend. i love you so so much mom. it breaks my heart that you don’t know it’s your birthday but all that matter is you’re here with us. i love you.”
Similarly, on May 14, 2023, on the occasion of Mother’s Day, the social media star took to Instagram to share a lovely picture with her mother, Debbie and wrote a heartfelt message.
She wrote, “happy mother’s day to this woman right here. i love you more than words can ever explain. thank you for everything you have ever done for me. you deserve the world.”
On May 17, 2021, LaVerne wished her father a Happy Birthday by posting a picture of her and her father and expressing that she loves her very much.
Zoe LaVerne’s biological parents were drug addicts
During a live session, LaVerne opened up about her difficult past and revealed that her biological parents were drug addicts.
She expressed her frustration at the video being leaked without her consent, as she had chosen not to share this part of her story yet.
LaVerne emphasized that her mom, Debbie, who adopted her at birth, is her true mother, even though she may not be her birth mother.
Her biological mother, Melinda, and her biological father, Billy, struggled with addiction, and Melinda even considered having abortions.
However, Debbie fought for LaVerne’s custody and won, providing her with a loving home and support.
She expressed her gratitude for her adoptive parents, as they have been there for her since the beginning and have played a significant role in shaping who she is today.
LaVerne also shared the heartbreaking news that her biological mother was murdered when she was only three years old, while her father died of a drug overdose when she was around six or seven.
Despite not knowing her biological parents personally, she acknowledged that her adoptive parents, Debbie and Douglas, are her true parents, as they provided her with love, care, and stable life.
She praised Debbie for fighting to have her as her own and expressed her love and appreciation for the life she has been given.
