Harassment and legal action

She was removed from show midway through filming of the fifth series in September 2018, reportedly due to "improper use of social media". Lime Pictures issued a statement confirming her suspension, saying she was "found to be setting up fake accounts to troll certain users – which is something that won’t be tolerated". Despite admitting to setting up several trolling Twitter accounts, Essex subsequently started legal proceedings against Blackman and Lime Pictures. Essex's case against Blackman was thrown out of court but he obtained a harassment order against Essex in 2020 due to the 'false claims Ms Essex made against' him.
