Former Love Island winner Davide Sanclimenti has made a heartfelt plea to fans,
urging them to stop the relentless online abuse he has received since moving on from his ex, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu.
Despite both reality stars now being in new relationships,
some followers have taken it upon themselves to send cruel and hateful messages to Davide over his blossoming romance with girlfriend Iris.
Davide and Ekin-Su’s Love Story and Breakup
Davide, 29, and Ekin-Su, 30, captivated audiences when they won Love Island in 2022.
Their passionate and often dramatic relationship was a fan favorite, and they continued dating after leaving the villa. However, their romance was anything but smooth, with multiple breakups and reconciliations before they ultimately decided to part ways in 2023.
Following their split, Ekin-Su took another shot at reality TV by joining Love Island: All Stars, where she has grown close to Curtis Pritchard. Meanwhile, Davide found love again with Iris, and the couple has been enjoying a romantic getaway in Hawaii. However, some fans have refused to accept their breakup, unleashing a wave of negativity toward Davide.
Hateful Messages and Online Harassment
Davide recently took to social media to share screenshots of the vile and disturbing messages he has received since making his new relationship public. Some fans, still loyal to Ekin-Su, attacked him with cruel words, with one person writing:
“HAHAHA GO DIE!! Hard launching your b*** GF because [Ekin-Su] is back on All Stars impeccable timing.”*
Others mocked him by saying:
“Davide who? [Ekin-Su] is the real star, always winning.”
“Success is proof that she doesn’t need anyone to shine.”
Beyond these hurtful comments, some messages took an even darker turn, with individuals calling Davide “misogynistic,” “ugly,” and “not loved.” Shockingly, one user even went as far as to say:
“Not stopping until you are destroyed!!”
This level of harassment prompted Davide to speak out, urging people to move on and put an end to the bullying.
Davide’s Emotional Plea for Peace
In response to the relentless hate, Davide issued a powerful statement on Instagram, calling for an end to the abuse.
“Guys, this harassment needs to end. It’s been a year. I’m finally happy and wish the best for my ex, but the obsession, bullying, and bots are uncalled for. You need to stop. You need to focus your energy on positive things.”
He went on to express frustration at how the negativity was affecting his personal life.
“I am trying to enjoy my holiday in peace. I don’t need drama. Please accept that life moves on.”
Despite the hostility directed at him, Davide remains focused on his new relationship and has been sharing glimpses of his time in Hawaii with Iris.
A New Chapter with Iris
While on their romantic vacation, Davide took to social media to celebrate his first Valentine’s Day with Iris. Posting a heartfelt tribute, he opened up about their relationship, subtly contrasting it with his past.
“Happy Valentine’s Day to the most romantic woman I’ve ever met. Since being with you, I learned what a ‘monthsary’ is. You’re the most kind and genuine person. We were supposed to meet as friends, but from that first ‘friendly date,’ we’ve been inseparable. I loved that you didn’t know who I was.”
He then added a line that some interpreted as a subtle dig at his past with Ekin-Su:
“True love is wonderful because it doesn’t destroy you. I know we met for a reason, and I’m glad we’re healing each other. We don’t have to be together—we choose each other every day.”
Iris also shared a touching message, praising Davide’s loyalty and the strength of their bond.
“Even though you’re misunderstood, I know you have the kindest heart. I love that even when the world is against us and everything is going wrong, we always manage to stay silly, positive, and funny. Thank you for your loyalty, support, and most importantly, for healing me. I’m thankful for you every day.”
Ekin-Su’s Journey on Love Island: All Stars
Meanwhile, Ekin-Su has been making headlines of her own as she competes in the final of Love Island: All Stars alongside Curtis Pritchard. Her return to the villa followed a turbulent period post-breakup with Davide, including allegations that he had been unfaithful.
Their relationship hit a rocky patch when Davide was spotted leaving a party with two blonde women, which fueled cheating rumors. Ekin-Su later claimed that he had betrayed her trust, but she chose to move forward by focusing on new opportunities, including a stint on Big Brother, which didn’t go as planned.
However, her decision to join Love Island: All Stars appears to have paid off, as she has formed a strong connection with Curtis and is now just days away from potentially being crowned the winner once again.
Moving Forward
Despite their dramatic history, both Davide and Ekin-Su seem to be in new, happy relationships. However, Davide’s recent plea highlights the darker side of fandom, where supporters of reality TV stars can sometimes take things too far.
As he continues to build a new chapter with Iris, he has made it clear that he wishes his ex nothing but the best. His hope is that fans can learn to do the same and let both of them move on in peace.
