Vas J Morgan accuses The Only Way Is Essex of 'systematic racism' in damning post

The 31 year old starred on the hit ITVBe show for four years and has now claimed he has been denied the same treatment as his white cast mates, and wasn't allowed to show sides of his personalty which were not "angry, aggressive or negative".Magazine editor Vas started: “I want to address a recent incident that has not sat well with me. It began with a post on the @Towie instagram account that was in support of the black lives matter movement.

"While I don’t believe that I am responsible for educating other people on racism or the meaning of the black lives matter movement, it is fundamental to understand that until black lives matter, all lives can’t matter. While I have been conditioned to expect uneducated comments, like the one above I was deeply saddened by what happened next.

Vas continued: "While I have always been proud to be one of the only black and gay reality TV stars on British Television, I have often felt conflicted over the way I was treated and the way I was portrayed. During the four years I filmed the show, I was almost never allowed to show any sides of my personality that wasn’t angry, aggressive or negative.

"The invitation to bring family members on the show was never extended to me and when I came out publicly on national television and struggled offscreen with depression, substance abuse and addiction I was never offered support in the other ways my white cast mates were. Even now, during this time of global recognition for the black lives matter movement; Towie have failed to reach out.

No need to insult the Taliban that way.
