I disagree. Having Adam on the show is raising awareness of gaslighting and other forms of manipulation that come naturally to narcissists. Hopefully more people will now be able to spot similar behaviour off-screen & avoid toxic relationships! #LoveIsland https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/jun/22/love-island-emotional-abuse-entertainment-adam-collard-gaslighting#comment-117312244 …

Tbh though, these are **real** women getting gaslit. There are better ways to teach about this behaviour without creating longstanding (potentially lifelong) trust/emotional issues in actual women. I'd encourage you to rethink this take

Fair point. What Rosie has gone through is appalling, but it is not like this behaviour doesn't go on in real life. I understand there are psychiatrists on site and contestants are free to leave at any time.

Having had experience of having relationships with this type of person, I never knew about Narcissistic Personality Disorder until very recently and I had gone through all the trauma. It was never covered in PSHCE lessons nor was it discussed at home.

Maybe the producers should intervene by removing Adam off the Island? To send a stronger signal? I could get behind that. Easily. But there's no third party to a romantic relationship in real life (sadly). It is up to you (or the other person)!

I’ve also been dealt with emotional (and physical) abuse (wrote about it here https://bit.ly/2KaC7VA ) and I think the issue I take with your point is that it puts the onus on the victim to be aware, rather than thinking how we should teach (predominantly) men not to do this.
