Things are heating up, folks. Following the recent news that Love Island Australia runners-up Erin Barnett and Eden Dally had cut ties, fellow contestant Natasha Webster has been forced to defend herself amid rumours she broke the pair up.
Yikes. Let’s dive in – there’s a lot to unpack here.
First of all, Love Island Australia fans started to point the finger at Natasha after she posted this Instagram of her and Eden right before the break-up announcement. She’d flown to Sydney for his birthday celebrations.

After allegedly receiving “death threats”, Natasha then took to Instagram to clear the air and, in doing so, dragged some of her fellow contestants.
“Long story short… Most of the islanders confirmed they were attending Edens birthday party. I booked airfares to Sydney which is a 4/5 hour flight from my home town… I booked myself a nice hotel room after the other girls kind of excluded me and sorted themselves out. Erin tells me at very short notice her mum is having an operation and is no longer attending the party or going to Sydney. On the day of travel I found out the other girls have bailed. So I spoke to Erin and she was wanting me to go. I was in two minds whether to go or not and that is why I put that post up.”
She writes that she only found out about the pair breaking up when they posted the news online, and that the timing of the announcement made it look like she was the one to blame.
Yet, she insists that she made the trip because, beside the fact that all the contestants were meant to come, her and Eden are m8s. “I wanted to help celebrate my FRIENDS birthday and we hung out the next day AS FRIENDS! Especially considering I’m the only person to bother flying over for it and didn’t bail last minute why not hang out the next day whilst I’m over in Sydney!?”
“I really hope after reading this people will think of me as a good friend to have as I made a big effort to get there and people that live on that side of Australia didn’t even show up!”
DRAG THEM, SIS.
No matter the circumstances, no one deserves to receive threatening messages. Check out the full post below.
