Tallafornia’s Nikita Murray has revealed people threatened to burn her as she slept after starring in the show.
The TV3 star was also bottled in the street and ended up hitting “rock bottom” from the horrific abuse.
She said: “I got the worst of it. I got glass bottles thrown at me; I was told to go and kill myself.
“I was even getting death threats telling me they were going to burn me in my sleep… it was tough. And I admit for a time I hit rock bottom.”

However the 21-year-old – who is now part of new reality show Infectious – forced herself to fight back against the “bullies”.
And now Nikita plans to show them she is the one winning by setting up an African project to help the continent’s poor children.
She added: “I’m actually happy got that abuse because it has made me thick-skinned.
“I also realised that these people – like bullies – are so unhappy with themselves, the only way they can make themselves feel better is by putting someone else down.”

And Nikita – who admits her parents weren’t “completely happy” with her having sex on screen – insists it wasn’t “exploitative or that I was exploited”.
Now the Dubliner told the Big Issue she is planning to prove that she is about more than just booze and bonking by taking on Mount Everest and setting up an African project.
She added: “I have this list. First I was to climb Mount Kilimanjaro; then Mount Everest.
“Then I want to do the Ten Peaks Challenge which is to climb the ten highest peaks in a month.
“I want to swim with sharks, play with lions, I want to trek across India and meditate with Buddhist monks. Brilliant!

“I want to trek to the North Pole, stay in a log cabin and see the Northern Lights.
“I also want to get some teaching qualifications and go to China and Africa and teach the very poor children.
“I’d love to set up my own African project, go into a village and give them hospitals and their schooling and basically train them so they can train other people.
“The whole idea being you start off in one village and it spreads out from there.”
