Yewande fears racist trolls after Samira's treatment last year.
Quote:
New Love Islander Yewande Biala almost didn’t go into the villa because she was worried she would become the target of racists – just like Samira Mighty was last year. The 23-year-old Dubliner is about to head into the villa for the summer on Monday, but a school pal has admitted that Yewande feared the backlash of hatred she would receive online in the wake of her appearance. ‘She had a lot of reservations, what would people think and obviously the racism which is what we are seeing now,’ Eileen Tope told The Mirror. ‘It’s ridiculous. It’s 2019 and people are saying really terrible things.’
Seeing how Samira got treated made her uneasy, she added. ‘But she thought it could be different. ‘She’s black and proud and she’s not going to let anyone stop her.’
