LOVE Island star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has fallen out with her best pal – with the star being branded a “narcissist”.
Ekin-Su, who shot to fame on Love Island in 2022 and again on the All Stars series earlier this year, had previously been championed by close friend Mabel Asojo during her time on the reality show.

But now the pair have unfollowed each other on social media and sources say that they are no longer friends after a falling out.
Mabel recently shared a post to address her fallout with Ekin-Su.
It read: “To everyone flooding my inbox with updates and questions, save it.
“We are not friends – I don’t need to write an unsold self help book on loyalty for someone who can’t even grasp how to be a decent human.
“I don’t deal with liars, cheaters, bullies, or narcissists. So please stop involving me.
“Consider this your final update. I hope she discovers peace.
“It just won’t be through me.”
She then followed this up with a screengrab of one of Ekin-Su’s pals defending the star, while taking a swipe at Mabel.
They claimed: “Imagine smiling to someone’s face, claiming you were best friends, then selling stories behind their back – and trying to turn me against her too.
“That’s next level snake behaviour. She’s real, loyal and solid and she doesn’t deserve the lies.
“Some people will do anything for attention.
“Glad we know who the rat was all along in the friendship circle.”
Taking a swipe at former friend Ekin, Mabel captioned it: “Wish you both the best.”
While a source said: “Ekin-Su’s friendship circle is at war. They’ve fallen out in a major clash and there is a big division between the group.
“The fallout worsened after Ekin-Su’s stint on All Stars, one of her long term friends has cut ties with her.
“One of her pals is not happy with her behaviour and has called her out for it.
“They’ve tried to be a good friend to her but think fame has gone to her head and she’s changed for the worse.
“Right now they’ve washed their hands of her and think she’s been a narcissist and disloyal in a bid to further her career.”
But another insider said Ekin-Su is not fully to blame.
They shared: “Ekin-Su has been under a lot of stress, those closest to her have unfairly turned their back on her.
“Ekin has always been a good friend and they should have had her back.”
The Sun have reached out to Ekin-Su’s rep for comment.
Back in 2022, Mabel – who met Turkish actress Ekin-Su at a hot tub party – helped her friend to become the first of this year’s Islanders to hit a million followers.
Mabel had supported her former friend during her stint on the show and looked after her social media account.
But it wasn’t all plain sailing and she’s admitted that the trolling has been very bad at times.
Mabel told The Sun at the time: “It was so hard.
“I spent a lot of time in my bedroom upset thinking she’s so sweet and down to earth and such a girls’ girl.”
They often appeared on each other’s Instagram but they have since deleted any trace of each other.
Meanwhile, Ekin seems happier than ever after finding love with Curtis Pritchard on the Love Island spin-off series.
