Love Island's Liberty Poole left heartbroken after endless trolling over her 'big tummy'

Love Island star Liberty Poole has opened up about the seemingly endless trolling she's faced after keyboard warriors targeted her over her 'big tummy'.

The reality TV star, who appeared on the 2021 series of Love Island, has been the subject of abuse both online and in person in recent months after she shot to fame on the ITV2 dating series alongside ex-boyfriend, Jake Cornish.

The Birmingham beauty was recently left shaken after a group of men made nasty comments about her appearance after they spotted her in the airport while wearing no-makeup and while donning a casual outfit.

Following the hurtful comments directed at her in person, Liberty has now faced more criticism online as trolls have body-shamed the star by claiming that she has a 'big tummy'.

Liberty broke down in tears following the horrible incident as she opened up about her 'insecurities' but despite the hate, the Love Island star has vowed to 'not let it bother' her.

"I still get trolling to this day. I posted on TikTok the other night and I still get trolling where people say I've got a big tummy. You still get insecurities, but you've got to believe in yourself and not let it bother you," Liberty explained.

Last month, the blonde beauty was left shaken after a group of men verbally abused her at the airport.

The much-loved reality TV star took to her Instagram stories to detail the uncomfortable situation as she admitted that she had to hold herself together from sobbing after the group of 'lads' hurled abuse at her.

Sharing her experience in an eye-opening video, Liberty explained: "I just wanted to come on and speak about my experience that happened tonight.

"I went to the airport and I literally went with no lashes, no foundation, I was really stripped back and just me. I was verbally abused by a group of lads in public, shouting at me, 'You've gone down hill since Love Island, you're such a catfish'.

Liberty went on: "They were going onto the plane and telling members of staff, 'Have you seen Liberty?' just because I went to the airport stripped back.

"I want people to know that, social media, you're going to post your best pictures but you're not always going to be glam or on top form.

"I'm unfiltered and stripped back and this is me, and I'm not ashamed and I'm not going to be ashamed to be myself."

The Love Island star added that during the flight a number of women came up to her to 'take photos' before telling Liberty that they would 'put a filter on her'.

"Thank you to those people that made me feel like s**t and I cried, but I'll pick myself back up because I'm a boss b****h," the brave star added.
