Love Island star sparks backlash over ‘entitled’ request to stranger for photo

A Love Island star has sparked backlash on her latest Instagram post after she posted a video splashing water towards a man to get him out of the background of her photo.

Kaz Crossley, 31, appeared on season four of the ITV dating show and entered as a Casa Amor bombshell, before returning to the villa for the second series of All Stars, which aired in January 2025.

Post-reality TV show, she's currently holidaying in Thailand and has been keeping her followers updated while on her travels.

However, her latest social media post has caused quite a stir, as alongside a slew of pictures of the influencer sitting by the pool with a cocktail in hand was a short behind-the-scenes video.

The clip in question, shared to Instagram, showed the star gently splashing water towards a man who was leaning against the side of the pool, as she seemingly asked him to move out of the way of her photo.

She joked in the caption: “Sorry only to the man I splashed to get out my background.”

The playful moment hasn’t gone down too well with social media, though, as people have flooded the comments in disbelief, brutally calling the ITV star ‘entitled’.

One user wrote: “Wow. I never comment on things, but how entitled do you have to be, to move someone out of a shot, from what looks like a place he has also paid to be!!! Wait until they’ve moved and go again or photoshop him out!”

The comment has already racked up over 1,700 likes, meanwhile, a second person chimed in with: “Didn't need to post him tbh,” and a third wrote: “Wowsers....that's terrible…”

A fourth penned: “Who do u think u are hahahahaha,” while a fifth simply wrote: “Not cool tbf.”

Shocked, another Instagram user questioned: “Who the f do you think you are, actually crazy you posted this without a second thought.”

And someone else agreed: “Dudes having a swim on holiday.. nothing wrong with asking him to move for 2 secs so you can take a pic but to then post it.. my oh my.”

Others said: “Thought you were cool, mistaken. This is so bad. Should’ve splashed you back and told you to GTFO” and “This is just poor, ill mannered, entitled behaviour. Shameful.”

However, other social media users rushed to Kaz’s defence, writing: “I would’ve done the same thing” and “Rightly so”.

Someone else gushed: ‘Savage, I love it lol,” while another fan added: “Gotta do what you gotta do,” alongside laughing emojis.

It’s safe to say that the post has seriously got people divided!

Tyla has reached out to a representative for Kaz for comment.
