Keeping Up With the Kardashians star Scott Disick reportedly took it upon himself to message Megan Barton-Hanson, who appeared in the 2018 series of Love Island, and criticise her behaviour on the show.
Barton-Hanson, a former glamour model, shared screenshots to her Instagram Story which showed the American TV personality giving her a lecture, in which he accused her of being “disrespectful” towards her fellow contestant Eyal Booker.
“Hey I recently saw your programme Love Island. I had a few questions for you about it. Let me know when your around to speak about it,” the 37-year-old began.
Barton-Hanson replied by asking what he wanted to know, to which Disick said he had been “astonished” by her treatment of Booker, whom she briefly dated while on Love Island.
“I was recently introduced to a beautiful man, named Eyal. When I went to see what he's done on TV, I was astonished by your behaviour,” he wrote.
“To find you mugging him off, and taking full advantage of his unbelievably beautiful sense of humour, and vulnerability.”
“I'm extremely disturbed that anybody could be so disrespectful to somebody for no good reason. I would like to know if you'd be willing to write him an apology,” he continued.
“The fact that you told him he wasn't funny - when in fact, you are not Jim Carey is absurd.”
Barton-Hanson said that she was “speechless” at the messages and said she was “genuinely a little concerned” about Disick.
Fans believe that Disick’s message confirms he is dating 19-year-old Amelia Hamlin, who is the sister of Booker’s girlfriend, Delilah.
He had previously dated Sofia Rochie, the 22-year-old daughter of singer Lionel Richie.
Both Disick and Booker’s names trended on Twitter following the exchange with Barton-Hanson.
“2020 has been bizarre but Scott Disick sliding into Megan Barton Hanson’s dm’s to demand an apology for Eyal truly takes the cake,” tweeted @Olivia8127x.
“I am spinning out,” said author and writer Bolu Babalola.
