Aleksandar Petrovic’s Gender-Role Claims on Temptation Island VIP Draw Backlash as He Posts Defense

Vanessa Nwattu, a former temptress on the franchise, now confronts the test as a committed partner.

Overview

  • In early episodes now streaming on RTL+, Petrovic questioned “who brings the money home,” said he dislikes when Nwattu is “rebellious,” and later labeled her a “stubborn, little, petulant child.”
  • Viewers flooded Instagram with criticism, urging Nwattu to leave and calling Petrovic’s behavior alarming, with many comments branding him a narcissist.
  • Responding on Instagram, Petrovic said he sees himself as a provider and the woman as a “creator,” insisted he never said a woman must stay at the stove, and claimed his partner can choose whether to work.
  • Nwattu described the role reversal from temptress to contestant as a strange and demanding experience that raises the stakes for her relationship.
  • Tabloid chatter about a breakup and an alleged link to Emmy Russ remains unconfirmed, and prior remarks suggested the offer to join the show, including financial appeal, influenced their decision.
