"Sit down": Love Island’s Michael Griffiths is officially the villa villain
The disbelief we felt last night after witnessing Michael treat our good sis Amber like a dog was shook-worthy.
We honestly wouldn't speak to an animal the way that he spoke to his ex-flame, who has done absolutely nothing wrong, and the public are in agreement that the firefighter has gone up in flames.
Last night's episode saw Joanna Chimonides being dumped from the island, Michael proclaiming that he'd; "found what I've been looking for" and then proceeding to STAY in the villa for no reason, and then his dire treatment of Amber.
I fucking agree with Chris's expression. Jesus the way Michael just spoke to her. #LoveIsland pic.twitter.com/nKNA47iECW

Michael gave 21-year-old Amber vicious statements about how her feelings for him weren't reciprocated, as if he blamed her for Joanna's exit.
Joanna branded the 27-year-old a "snake" as she walked out of the villa, and she's pretty spot on. If he really cared about her, he would have left. He then tried to get sympathy by acting upset about her dumping, and yet DIDN'T LEAVE THE VILLA?
The reaction from the public when Michael barked at Amber to "sit down" was pretty swift, calling for his removal from the Spanish villa.
Joanna: “Your a f***ing snake
Michael: What?!?

Joanna also said that her relationship with Michael is "on pause" now that he's staying in the villa, after initially saying they have no future if he refused to leave with her.
Sorry Michael, only one person can tell others to sit down #loveisland pic.twitter.com/UA6h0tHnju

One Twitter user, Fionnuala Jay, called for Michael to be sent to prison…we have to agree;
"One way ticket for Michael to Alcatraz for speaking to Amber like that, what an actual bridge troll."
Team Amber assembled faster than lightning, and are patiently waiting for her to explode at the man;

Viewers also pointed out that Michael appears to only be staying in the villa to make Amber's life miserable;
why does michael talk to amber like a piece of shit. if he really wants to get to know joanna then LEAVE.

"Who's really the CHALDISH one?" fans asked of Michael. Fair point.

When Joanna was voted out by her fellow Islanders and was immediately angry at Michael, the firefighter excused her outburst as "normal" and yet continuously slammed Amber for being "childish" and "immature" whenever she was remotely angry.
Anyone else confused as to why Michael isn’t angry at Joanna for the way she acted after everything he has said about Amber? #loveisland

One thing is for certain: Michael may just be the most hated man in the UK and Ireland right now, and only Ovie has the power to fix the villa zen.
Maybe the new Limerick rugby player Greg O'Shea can fix the vibes with some country slang and banter with Maura? We'd love to see it.
