Jasmine Mullins Apologizes After Homophobia Controversy

New Love Island star Jasmine Mullins has issued an apology after a 'clash with a fellow star'.

The 'homophobia row' reportedly unfolded on TikTok just days away from the show launch on June 1.

Jasmine, 27, was called out by rapper Damzo's after she mocked his 'high pitched' voice and uploaded a meme containing a rainbow flag, a symbol of the LGBTQ+ community.

Damzo screen grabbed her comment and uploaded it to his own social media, which read: 'Sure take pride in your name but please don’t take pride in your nasal high pitched voice'.

Jasmine allegedly posted a screenshot of his face and wrote: 'Well I BEG you sort this out', before accusing him of deleting comments from girls who supported her.

Users online have branded her comments 'homophobic' after Damzo called out her behaviour.  

Addressing her behaviour in a video, Jasmine said: 'I would like to say directly to the guy who is making videos about me I am sorry about my initial reaction to the content you were posting regarding me and my content.

'Like I say I have just never been in this situation before so I reacted in a way that didn’t feel true to my character.'

Jasmine claimed her videos are deliberately made to 'grab attention' and insisted she did not intend to 'create drama with anyone'.  

Damzo has since responded to her apology in a video after she took 'accountability'.

He said: 'Let’s move all the jokes to the side, this is a good woman. An accountable woman, well done Jasmine G Muller because it’s rare to see people come online and take accountability.'

All Islanders complete video training and guidance across a range of topics to include mutually respectful behaviour in relationships, behaviour patterns associated with controlling and coercive behaviour and language around disability, sexuality, race and ethnicity, and microaggressions before they meet their fellow Islanders. 

The dating show returns on Monday, June 1, with a fresh batch of hopeful singles looking to find their type on paper.

, who has just finished filming The Celebrity Traitors, will return to host the series, and she has promised viewers there will be even more twists this year.

And speaking to the Daily Mail from the Mallorca villa, producers Amanda Stavri and Lewis Evans teased a never-before-seen coupling up in the first episode.

They said: 'We've got to fight format fatigue and find new things to do. It's really important that Love Island stays unpredictable. Viewers find it exciting when you pull the rug from under their feet and surprise them.

'We come under scrutiny a lot, so we want to keep things fresh.'  

While they aim to shake things up for loyal viewers, they reassured us that fan favourites, including Casa Amor, Movie Night, and Snog, Marry, Pie, will all be making a return.

Elsewhere, they lifted the lid on using the World Cup to their advantage this summer.

They shared: 'This year's marketing campaign is "it's all kicking off". The idea is that two big events are going on this summer that will get everyone talking. One is the World Cup, one is Love Island.

'In America, Mexico, and Canada for the World Cup, and it's all kicking off here in Mallorca for Love Island, and we're hoping that there won't just be gameplay on the pitch, but there'll also be some gameplay in the Villa.

'We're going to play into that this year, and the first step is changing things. We're doing something that we've never done before in the history of Love Island.

'We're going to take a big risk. We're taking big risks, and we hope it pays off. We're going to look at the challenges, which will be different. There are also more beds, and with more beds comes more bombshells.'
