Reality vixen Jessika Power says she is sick of being “slut shamed” over her complicated dating life.
Power hit out at the double standards applied to men and women in the quest for love.
“If I want to have a new boyfriend every two days that is completely my decision. This is my life and my body and I will act how I want,” she said after claims she cheated on ex-boyfriend Nick Furphy.
“On Love Island they asked the guys how many people they had slept with — and some of them said over 100.
“If a girl sat there and said they had slept with over 100 guys it would be turmoil.
“We are no longer living in the 1600s where women can’t speak, act or dress how they like.
“I am 28. I am dating. I am not sleeping with all these people. Who doesn’t go out to a bar, meet someone, get their number and later you meet someone else and get their number.
“You speak to both of them and then go on a date and decide who you like the best. Isn’t that what happens to everyone?
“You have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince and unfortunately I have kissed a lot of frogs.”
Power also has a message for social media trolls: “Someone needs to confiscate your iPhone,” she said.
“Get off social media and focus on your own dating life or fix the unhappy marriage that you are clearly in.”
