When Gavin brought his girlfriend, Esonica, on ‘Temptation Island’, little did he know what was in store for them. Esonica dumped Gavin for tempter Kareem, with whom she bonded very well with. Just the night before the final bonfire, Gavin was obviously sour about it. But during the final reunion, we learn that things fizzled out between Kareem and her. Although he’s still a good friend to her.
 
Gavin takes this opportunity to target his ex-girlfriend and tries guilt-tripping her for cheating on him with Kareem. Esonica admits to her mistakes and apologizes for it. Instead of finding a way to move on, Gavin keeps making scathing statements about Esonica. He said he doesn’t talk to liars and kept accusing Esonica of betraying his trust.
 
At one point, she got so upset with Gavin’s hurtful words that she got up and walked off the stage and refused to come back to complete her filming. Esonica’s tears and pain moved many fans and had them calling out Gavin.



 

Several fans reminded Gavin that it wasn’t his place to guilt Esonica.

A fan tweeted, “Ngl. Gavin wack for trying to embarrass sonic on national tv. Boning somebody is waaaay more acceptable than sucking somebody toes on tv #TemptationIsland”.

Another fan shared, “#TemptationIsland I think Gavin trying to embarrass her cause he got played twice on tv”.

“#TemptationIsland  Gavin get over yourself bruh!!  Like you don’t lie. Boy Bye!!” called out a fan. 
 
“Gavins really trying to guilt-trip Sonic. That’s some bullshit. The only reason he was “good” on TI was bc no one wanted his ass. If any1 wanted him or Casey they would have pulled a David. That’s why Gavin & Casey brought their girls there, they wanted 2 cheat. #TemptationIsland”, pointed out a fan.

Another fan wrote, “I’m so confused about Gavin and Esonica. Why is he so prideful and haughty when he was playing his position in that house the entire time. He was just super corny and boring compared to Rick so the BM quota was full and those girls were not feeling him LMAO #TemptationIsland”.
