On last night’s episode of Love Island, Erin crossed a line.
The 23-year-old is in a relationship with fellow islander, Eden Dally. Their short-lived relationship could be described as explosive and toxic, and sometimes even downright ridiculous.
The couple who have known each other for all of five weeks are possessive and jealous and easily inflamed.
They fight with each other, they fight with the other islanders, and they’re a constant source of tension in the villa.
While concerns about Eden and Erin’s behaviour have been building for weeks, last night they reached a tipping point.
During a lie detector challenge, Eden admitted that he found fellow islander, Millie, attractive.
What seemed like a simple admission, soon turned explosive.
Erin began screaming at both Eden and Millie. She told Eden not to come down stairs and she told Millie not to even look at her.
She then got up from her position on the couch and stormed out of the villa, threatening to “get a knife” to stab Eden with.
Eden quickly followed her out and they had a heated argument before making up.
The 25-year-old then told Erin she was “cute” when she’s angry and basically implied he liked the fact she was jealous.
While this may seem like a silly little argument on a reality TV show, it hints at a much bigger issue.
If a man were threatening a woman the way Erin is threatening Eden right now and acting like her, it would be rightly called abusive. She is toxic beyond belief. #LoveIslandAU

I thought Erin was a huge brat when Kory tried to greet her when he first came into the house. When she dodged his kiss on the cheek, it was so rude. I laughed when he said "Not everyone is hitting on you, you're not that good!" it's true, she needs to get over herself. We get it, you're with Eden. Literally no one cares.
The thing that got me was that Grant (although not overally tactful) stood up to them and then got shot down. No one else in the house ...even his own girlfriend supported him. I was angry for grant because there was a sense that everyone in the house is so intimidated by erin and eden that they are scared to stand up against them.
