Love Island 's Molly-Mae Hague says people "still haven't learned" after the tragic deaths of Sophie Gradon and Mike Thalassitis.
The reality star, who finished second on this year's show with boyfriend Tommy Fury, has been targeted by vile trolls online.
Molly says people took exception to her job as an influencer and claimed she was faking her feelings for Tommy in a bid to win the £50,000 cash prize.
But after proving her love is real, she says the trolls have backed off.
However, she says people should think about what they're saying, especially given the tragic deaths of Sophie and Mike.
Sophie, who appeared on Love Island in 2016, sadly took her own life in June 2018.
Mike, who was on the show in 2017, tragically killed himself in March 2019.
Speaking on heat's Love Island Under The Duvet , Molly-Mae said: "I'm coping with [the trolling] really well, I think there were rumours that came out about me being in therapy and stuff.
"I was sitting getting my make up done and saw the story, 'Molly-Mae in therapy', but I literally wasn't in therapy, I'm just happy, I was just sitting there having the best time.
"With the hate, I'm fine, I just don't read it. I think I typed my name into Twitter once when I came out and read a few things and thought, 'okay, maybe that's not too bad'. Maybe just don't type your name into Twitter.
"You know that it's going to be a thing when you come out, not everyone is going to like you, I think for me in particular, I've got a lot of backlash but not for any real reason, if you think about it.
"People have been branding me as fake but I'm not, and people have seen that now so it's stopped."
She added: "The whole trolling thing, the fact that it's still a thing now after horrible things have happened in the past, it's so sad and people aren't learning. Luckily I've got a thick skin but if I was more of a fragile person the things they were saying about me could really affect me.
"Luckily they don't because I'm so happy and I'm in this bubble and nothing can get to me now.
"Some of the things people say are vile, but you have to kind of brush it off."
