Love Island will not be investigated by Ofcom despite 14,000 complaints
Ofcom rejects 14,000 complaints about Love Island, citing negative behavior not being portrayed positively, in line with audience expectations. The controversial episode on July 24 led to complaints of alleged bullying against Shakira Khan, marking the highest number of complaints in four years. Despite issues like bullying and concerns for contestants' mental health, the media watchdog decided not to investigate this year's series of Love Island due to established reality show format and emotional scenes viewers expect.
