The second night of Love Island Australia featured the first big argument featuring Maurice Salib and Jessie Wynter , leaving many fans angry and branding Maurices behaviour as gaslighting.

The 27-year-old media executives heated conversation with Jessie left the 23-year-old waitress feeling visibly uncomfortable as she told him, It kind of feels like youre putting words in my mouth.

Gaslighting might be an unfamiliar word, but the experience will resonate with many people who have experienced controlling relationships. It describes a situation where one party psychologically manipulates the other, making them doubt their own version of events, or even their own sanity.

Youre overthinking, Ive just got to say it black and white... You fabricate this big scenario in your mind. Its all in your head, Maurice told Jessie when she expressed her concerns that he was more invested in generating publicity on the show than finding love.
