Former professional boxer David Haye has continued his public criticism of actor Adam Thomas, a fellow contestant on I’m A Celebrity, labeling him as ‘weak’ and comparing him to a ‘chihuahua.’

Feud Origins and Haye's Claims

The ongoing dispute stems from interactions during the show, filmed last September. Haye repeatedly questioned Thomas’s commitment to challenges, especially after Thomas excused himself from a trial due to health concerns related to his psoriatic arthritis.

Haye claims he was unaware of Thomas’s autoimmune condition and downplays its impact, suggesting Thomas lacked the fortitude to participate. He also criticized Thomas’s behavior as ‘feminine’ based on observing TikTok videos featuring Thomas and his brothers.

Thomas's Emotional Toll and Therapy

Adam Thomas has revealed the significant emotional impact of Haye’s behavior, stating it “f***ed” with him mentally and led him to seek therapy. He describes Haye’s actions as a form of ‘mind f***ing’ and regrets not confronting him during their time in the jungle.

Thomas explained the confined environment of the show prevented him from easily removing himself from the situation. His therapist suggested his tendency to prioritize others and avoid self-focus contributed to his inability to confront Haye.

Demand for Apology and Haye's Response

Thomas recounts demanding an apology from Haye, only to be told Haye was “trying to teach him a lesson.”

Public Debate and Reflections

The dispute has sparked public debate, with accusations of bullying leveled against Haye. Haye defends his actions, arguing Thomas is overly sensitive and needs to build strength.

Despite the harsh words, Thomas acknowledges Haye has apologized and believes he has a “heart of gold.” The situation highlights the pressures of reality television and the potential for conflict in isolated environments.
