They began their statement, 'Morning everyone, Chloe's family & friends here.'
'We hate to introduce ourselves under such vile circumstances but we've had enough after just 3 episodes.'
'We all have thick skin but the amount of trolling Chloe has been receiving is absolutely disgusting.'
The statement continued, 'This morning we woke up to yet another DM (see next story), encouraging Chloe to kill herself'
'there have been HUNDREDS,' they wrote.
'Have the deaths of Sophie, Mike, and Caroline taught us nothing?'

'Not only that, but people are flooding her inbox threatening to kill her themselves.'
'People... this is a GAME show, there is a cash prize!'
'We understand the frustration surrounding @shannonsinghh's eviction we feel it too!'
Chloe's loved ones went on, 'She didn't deserve to leave so early but Chloe does not deserve to DIE because Shannon had to leave the villa!'
'She will have had no idea of the repercussions of her decisions prior to making it.'
The statement begins to wrap up, 'We are not naive.'

'We know that this post won't put an end to trolling.'
'All the advice we get is to 'ignore it' and 'block the trolls' sometimes it's not that easy.'
'Our hope is that this just reminds some of you #BeKind x'

Shannon's exit
Shannon was dumped from the Love Island villa on last night's episode.
It's after bombshell Chloe chose to couple up with Aaron, leaving Shannon single.
It appears many viewers blame Chloe for Shannon's exit.
However, the Islanders had no idea Chloe's decision would lead to the dumping of another Islander.
So it really wasn't her fault at all.
In her exit interview, Shannon said, 'Do you know what, out of all the girls, I think it is fair it’s me because I didn’t have any emotional attachments to the guys, but all the girls had tiny little things [going on].'

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on Virgin Media One and Virgin Media Player.
