Reality star Lochan Nowacki has broken his silence following claims made by ex-girlfriend Whitney Adebayo, addressing accusations of racism and public slights. In a candid sit-down video, Lochan shared his side of the story, defended his family, and reflected on the complexities of their relationship, which included love, misunderstandings, and public scrutiny after their split.

In the video, Lochan explained why he felt compelled to speak out following allegations made by Whitney Adebayo. He said,

"I never wanted to do this. I don't like coming on social media and speaking about personal aspects of my relationship with Whitney, but when my family gets brought into it and depicted to the world as something they're not, I need to show the truth."

Lochan and Whitney, who met on Love Island, had a high-profile relationship marked by public attention and private struggles. They announced their breakup on April 18th, 2025, after a year and a half together. The couple had previously worked through misunderstandings, including an incident where Whitney accused Lochan of calling her skin dirty, which he insists never happened.

"These words never left my mouth. I would never call anyone's skin dirty," he said.

The drama escalated in late July 2025, when Lochan was seen collaborating with reality star Brianna Balram, known from Too Hot to Handle.

One day after this collaboration, Whitney posted a TikTok slideshow: the first image read,

"You look happier," and the second read, "Thanks! I finally fell in love with my skin he used to call dirty."

At this point, she had not confirmed publicly who she was referring to, but she later clarified it was Lochan.

Lochan addressed Whitney’s social media posts directly in his video, including clips she had uploaded, to respond to the accusations. He also shared a voice note Whitney had sent to his mother a month after the alleged “dirty skin” comment, saying warm, supportive things. He used this to emphasise the inconsistency of her claim, asking,

"Why would you be sending her that a month after I apparently called you dirty?"

He also addressed claims Whitney made about his mother. In her own content, Whitney suggested that when the lights were off, his mum would say,

"Oh, where's Whitney? Whitney, smile",

Implying an underlying insult. Lochan countered this by showing images of his mum and Whitney together, arms linked, holding hands, and smiling, noting that his family had always welcomed Whitney and her family to numerous gatherings.

The video also tackled accusations regarding his friends. Lochan included clips from when they were together, showing Whitney telling his friend Ryan he "looks like a ghost," while both faced the sun from a large window. He also played a voice note Whitney had sent, saying, "Ryan, you look like a ghost," without including the context. Lochan argued this was not evidence of racism, highlighting the selective way her narrative had been presented.

Throughout the video, Lochan drew attention to Whitney’s apparent hypocrisy. He included a clip from her podcast where she recounted a story about her sister’s boyfriend and a good-looking couple they saw, commenting on the resemblance to her family. He used this example to demonstrate what he viewed as double standards in her public statements.

Lochan emphasised the positive aspects of their relationship, stating,

"I constantly told her how proud I was of her, all the way through our entire relationship."

He described showing love and support not only to Whitney but also to her family. His family, he said, reciprocated by welcoming her warmly, attending events together, and treating her and her family with care and respect.

Reflecting on the post-breakup period, Lochan said,

"There is no mention of racial accusation towards me over a three-month period post-breakup, but as soon as I collaborate with a female, negative false comments start being made about me, my family and my friends."

He reiterated that his aim was not to attack Whitney but to clear the narrative surrounding himself and his family.

Lochan concluded by stating,

"I want to feel happy, I want to smile again, I want to feel safe. And I'm not gonna be commenting anymore with this. I just want us both to move forward with our lives separately."
