Slut-shamed and lonely – this is what it’s like to be the villa’s ‘other woman’
‘Reality television shows present the “bad girl” as an “unruly woman,” characterized by her resistance to traditional gendered expectations of “ladylike behavior”,’ says academic. ‘Love Island reinforces a sexual double standard in which men are celebrated for their sexual prowess, while women are shamed and punished.’
‘It’s kind of like a pack mentality,’ she continues. You don’t want to fall out with the most popular girl and boy because everybody sticks together…I remember just trying to sleep all day and the producers were like “go and mingle” but I had no mates… As women we get penalised for sleeping with loads of people,’ she says. ‘I’ve never known a straight man to be called a homewrecker before — ever.’
Although Megan enjoyed her time as a bombshell, she acknowledges she was typecast. ‘That was the thing I was most disappointed about, because a woman can me more than one thing,’ she says. ‘You can be sexy, a “man eater”, and also have a kind and compassionate side where you’re there for her friends and have a sense of humour.
