Love Island star Toni’s mum, who just appeared in the villa, has responded to rumours that she is launching legal action against ITV after stepping away from social media
Love Island star Toni’s Laites’ mum has hit back at rumours she’s suing ITV.
Toni’s mum Leslie set foot in the villa on Monday night (July 28) when the Islanders got surprise visits from their family members. Leslie was quick to show her support for Cach after her daughter chose to ditch him for Harrison before he left the show.
Florida-based beauty Leslie hasn’t held back in her views on the series and called out some of this year’s Islanders in videos on social media. She’s since deleted the posts and made her TikTok page private, and fans speculated that she was mounting legal action against ITV.
However, Leslie was quick to confirm that this was not the case as she revealed the truth behind the claims. Leslie issued a statement explaining why she stepped away from social media.
She said in a clip: “My accounts were set to private because I had other stuff to do not because myself and Shakira’s mum are suing ITV.
“We are definitely not, that rumour should be put to rest immediately. There’s even a rumour that she and I were spotted in London together with an attorney, also 100 per cent fake news. It is not real.”
The proud parent continued: “I cant wait for you guys to see the episode and we will talk about it. I haven’t watched tonight’s yet, but once I do I will try to hop on and give you all my thoughts on that one.”
She added: “Other than that, I just wanted to reassure you we are all good, just no lawsuit. Hope you have a great night.”
Leslie revealed to Casa Amor star Cach on Monday’s episode that both she and Toni’s stepfather were in tears when she chose Harrison over him. She said he handled the dumping “with grace” and thanked him for giving Toni a second chance.
She told him in the emotional chat: “I wanted to tell you that may husband and I adore you and we think you are such an incredible stand-up guy.
“You have handled some really sh*tty situations so calmly and with grace and elegance. Literally last night my husband texted me and he said, ‘I didn’t think the pedestal for Cach could get any higher but it just did,’ because of your speech for the ‘Emotional Moment’.
“You handled that amazingly. Thank you for having such a big heart and treating her so well. You tell your mother when you get out that I thank her for raising such an incredible gentleman.”
