The creators of Love Island are being sued over allegations that female contestants are “pressured to have sex and black contestants are abused” on the US version of the show.

The allegations against ITV and NBCUniversal – the producers of Love Island USA – are reportedly related to the poor treatment of islanders in the reality TV show’s fourth season.

According to the documents received from PeopleFormer Villa producers Jasmine Crestwell and Alex Rinks claim producers from the show’s UK branch were hired to boost ratings.

It was also claimed that the crew members had a “history of racism and abusive practices” that impacted the mental health of the show’s stars.

The court documents alleged that executive producers “pressured female islanders to engage in sexual relations without regard to personal preference or genuine consent.”

It was reportedly alleged that the producers were “frivolous about the concept of sexual consent,” adding that some producers “openly commented on video footage of female islanders showering and having sex, resulting in a deeply awkward working environment.”

It has also been claimed that Sereniti Springs, who was “one of the few women of color on the show,” was treated differently than the others, with the lawsuit claiming they sabotage her.

Ms Crestwell and Mr Links said they were wrongly fired after making the allegations.

Love Island USA began in 2018 and is one of 22 versions released worldwide following the success of the original UK show.

ITV America has denied the claims. A spokesman told MailOnline: “This is a opportunely timed reckless attack, timed to coincide with the debut of Season 5, carried out by two former employees who have been terminated for cause based solely on their job performance.”

“These characterizations are wrong.” Love Island USA’s commitment to diversity and proven track record speak for themselves. We categorically deny the allegations and look forward to defending these claims in court.’

MailOnline contacted NBCUniversal.
