The Australian reality star turned influencer who was photographed holding a plate with white powder last week has posted an apology to her followers on social media.
Love Island Australia’s Cassidy McGill posted, then swiftly deleted, the photo in question on her Instagram Stories last Wednesday night. It was then widely shared online.
In the image McGill – who appeared on season one of the popular dating show – could be seen sitting on the floor in a pair of blue jeans, with a white plate perched on her knee.
Two lines of white powder were clearly visible on the plate, alongside a small bag containing more of the same mystery substance.

“Ooops, see you tomorrow,” she captioned the image, before promptly deleting it.
Some questioned whether McGill’s recent paid brand collaborations with Bondi Sands and Amazon Prime would be affected. The influencer addressed those brand deals in her apology, posted on Tuesday.
“This past week I’ve been taking time to reflect on my actions,” McGill wrote.
“I made a mistake, which I do not take lightly. This behaviour is out of character and I am truly sorry to have let you all down. I am sorry to my friends, family and my team and the brands I represent.
“I hope over time I can earn your trust and respect back. Thank you to those who have reached out. Love, Cass.”
