Former FBoy Island star Riccardo Valenza has been accused of stalking a woman.
Riccardo, who appeared on the 2023 first season of FBoy Island Australia, was charged on June 4 with one count of unlawful stalking. Townsville Bulletin reports.
It is alleged Riccardo, 30, stalked and harassed a woman in Queensland from December 8, 2022 to June 9, 2023.
The alleged violations occurred when his FBoy Island scenes were airing as the reality show Binge premiered on May 29, 2023.
Riccardo was believed to be living between Townsville and the Sunshine Coast at the time the alleged offenses took place.
Riccardo, a veterinarian, was granted bail at the Maroochydore Magistrates Court on August 1.
However, it was reported that the charge was raised in the Townsville Magistrates Court on Thursday, where Riccardo was not required to appear in person.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Binge for comment.
Former FBoy Island star Riccardo Valenza has been charged with stalking in Queensland
Debuting on Foxtel/Binge in May 2023, the 10-part reality series FBoy Island is about three women looking for love from a choice of 24 suitors.
The twist, however, is that half of the men are time-wasting ‘f**k boys’ and the other half are genuinely looking for love.
Among those looking for love in season one were DJ Sophie Blackley, occupational therapist Molly O’Halloran and model Ziara Rae.
Molly made the right decision by choosing real-life contestant Nick Brown and Ziara found love with the beautiful Izaya Leota.
By correctly choosing a real man over an Fboy, the women not only found love, but also walked away with $50,000 in prize money to share with their new partner.
Unfortunately, Sophie Blackley chose Fboy Joshy Allen, meaning she didn’t find love and he got the full share of their prize money.
