‘Surviving Dejon’ is a self-published memoir by Niah Sienna, released in August 2025 shortly after Dejon Noel-Williams appeared on Love Island series 12. The 73-page book describes what Niah says was a past relationship between the two of them, and makes allegations about how that relationship played out. Dejon has publicly disputed how he’s been portrayed, without addressing the specific claims point by point.
Here’s what’s actually known, and what remains disputed.
Who Wrote the Book, and Why
Niah Sienna describes herself as connected to Dejon’s family through his brother, without a direct blood relation. She says she began speaking out on TikTok after watching Dejon on Love Island, and later announced the book as a way to “tell my truth in the way that I feel in control,” according to captions she posted alongside the announcement.
She has said the book isn’t intended as an attack, writing that it’s “not about hate, it’s about healing,” and that she hopes it helps others in similar situations even if the response to it is mixed.
What the Book Alleges
Niah says the relationship began when she was 16 and Dejon was 17. She describes it in the book as controlling and emotionally damaging, and has said it contributed to a period of homelessness for her afterwards. These are her account of events; they haven’t been independently verified, and Dejon has not confirmed the specifics.
The book carries its own content warning, noting it contains emotionally intense material.
How Dejon Has Responded
Dejon addressed the book on Instagram and TikTok without naming it directly. He wrote: “I’ve stayed quiet, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t affected me,” adding that he holds himself accountable for how he communicates and that he’s “growing as a person.” Dejon has described some of what’s been said about him as “far from the truth,” while not disputing individual claims in detail.
He has continued his relationship with Meg Moore, his partner from the show, and has largely avoided discussing the book publicly beyond those statements.
Where to Buy It
The book was listed at £14.99 (with some reports citing an early £25 price before a discount), sold as an ebook with an accompanying audiobook through Niah Sienna’s own sales channels rather than a traditional publisher. Availability and pricing may have changed since publication, so check her current listing directly if you’re looking to buy it.
