Love Island’s Olivia Hawkins breaks silence on limo accident as she hits back at ‘horrific’ trolling
LOVE Island's Olivia Hawkins has clapped back at "horrific" online trolls who targeted her recent limo accident.
They called out the scary crash and cruelly suggested the matchmaking show alum "got what she deserves" as she travelled with a slew of other influencers to the Creamfields Festival.
Islanders including Liv and Kaz Crossley plus ITV2 reality girls Elma Pazar and Dani Imbert were en route to Creamfields festival in Daresbury, Cheshire, when another vehicle smashed into their limo.
The women - also including two brides from E4’s Married At First Sight, Adrienne Naylor and Hannah Norburn - were left bruised with back and neck pain.
Creamfields is a dance festival which runs across the bank holiday weekend, with Chase & Status, Sub Focus and Eric Prydz playing on Friday.
The women were all attending as guests of clothing brand Shein.
Now in the aftermath, Olivia has shared the awful trolling she's faced after news of the incident broke.
She posted a screen grab of the horror comments to social media and added the words: "I ignore a lot and wasn't planning to address the car accident but after seeing some vile, insensitive comments online I feel it's important to say.
"I'm okay and no one deserves that. Moving forward I'm focussed on my wellbeing and positivity.
"Thank you for the lovely messages tho it doesn't go unnoticed."
Alongside another slide she put: "Can't believe I even have to explain this but I actually left early and came straight home from the festival as I was hurt and shaken up by it all.
"I've spent the weekend resting with my family. Thank you for the love."

“They were flung across the limo and left with bruises and back and neck pain.
“The other driver was ok.
