He has previously posted a lengthy statement about bullying which they felt had a 'suicidal tone'.
One wrote: "Remi’s mother committed suicide due to her mental health do you want to see the same happen to Remi?"
A second said: "The last paragraph in Remi statement make me genuinely worried for the guy especially after knowing that his mother committed suicide and dealt with mental health issues, someone please check up on him. #LoveIsland."
A third added: "Remi from #loveisland has suffered directly from the impact of suicide (sadly losing his mum), now he’s being bullied/mocked by 2 islanders who have a) 2 of the most followings & b) have consistently used “mental health” to not face consequences. Vile humans Luca + Jacques."
Remi released a statement after slamming Jacques and Luca for 'bullying' him during a controversial Instagram live.
Remi previously revealed he had rowed with ‘bully’ Jacques in a series of aired rows and has now said he "wants justice".
In the clip, which has gone viral, Luca said: "We’re not MCs, we need Remi in here for that."
Remi seemingly reply, saying: "What you boys saying about me and my rapping?”
Jacques responded: “I said it’s really really good, you should turn pro.”
The pair then exchanged looks and burst out laughing – a similar to reaction to when Remi rapped in the villa.
After seeing the questionable clip, Remi took to Instagram to discuss it and questioned why they weren’t kicked out.
He wrote: "I never joined their live so I didn’t comment actually. A fake account called remilamb0 did. Don’t know why these guys have such a problem with me, clearly got some serious issues they need to sort out.
