Megan Barton Hanson has revealed her horrific experience at the hands of an abusive ex, saying she became pregnant after he removed her condom without her consent – an illegal practice known as sneaking.
Speaking to Paul Carrick Brunson on his We Need to Talk podcast, Megan revealed the ordeal occurred before she found fame on Love Island when she was dating an older man.
Megan revealed that she opted to terminate the pregnancy, but her ex became violently angry on the way home.
She recalled: “He said to me, ‘You’re disgusting. You just killed our baby.” Then he said to me, “You make me sick,” then he took the seat belt, put it around my neck, bit my nose (this was after nose surgery) and said, ” Do you think you’re pretty with that new nose?” He bit it, started filming me and said, “Cry, bitch. “Go tell the camera what you just did.”
“I was so shocked I couldn’t even cry. I couldn’t breathe.’
Megan revealed she was then given ’10 seconds to run’ to safety when her ex threatened to kill her.

She remembers: “We are on a highway, cars go by at 110 km/h.” I thought, even if I try to (run) it will only make him more angry because he will definitely catch me, so I just stood there frozen.’
While the ex eventually took her home, the ‘nightmare’ continued when the abusive ex arrived at her parents’ house armed with a crowbar.
Megan revealed she “confronted” her father, marine biologist Kevin, and “strangled” her mother Justine.
The family fled to safety in their car, but he threw the crowbar out the back window.
Megan confessed: “I thought it would literally kill me, as it was.” He was literally acting like a psychotic.
He reported his ex to the police and after testifying against him in court he was sentenced to a month and a half in prison.
