"Love Island" star Jeremiah Brown had everybody talking while he was still a contestant on Season 7 of the popular reality show.
However, now that he's been dumped from the villa by his male co-stars, Brown is opening up about what really went down—and he's not holding back.
During a recent episode, the male islanders were tasked with sending one of three men home, and after deliberating, they chose Brown, citing his alleged inability to explore more than one connection.
But during a recent interview with Variety, Brown said he wasn't buying their reasoning and even called them out for seemingly being jealous of him.
"They can say we don't want him to recreate old habits, but I had already communicated to them multiple times that I'm doing it the right way now," Brown said, referring to his new connection with bombshell Andreina Santos.
He then expressed his frustration with the other male islanders for urging him to explore connections with more than one woman, adding that even when he did, "it still wasn't enough."
"So when they said they didn't want me to recreate old habits, that's some bullsh-t," he continued. "I couldn't buy that."
According to Brown, the real reason the men chose to eliminate him was because they "saw a chance to get out their competition."
"It is a game at the end of the day. I know that they had an interest in the bombshell, and we were getting pretty close. It was honestly getting out a competitor," he said.
Once Brown knew he was leaving Fiji for good, the rest of the men assured him that their vote to send him home wasn't "personal."
"I'm not going for that," Brown said about their comments. "When I vote, it's all personal. I don't care if you f-ck up a million times; if you're my friend, then I'm keeping you. That's just how I work," he added.
Later, during his interview, Brown discussed his tense dynamic with his fellow islander, Ace Greene, who many viewers have deemed the ringleader of the season.
"We had many great moments together, but we didn't always see eye to eye. It could be intimidation. I don't know," Brown told Variety before touching on whether he could see himself being friends with the men who voted him off the show, including Nicolas Vansteenberghe and Taylor Williams.
"Respectfully, I'm staying on my side," the reality star stated. "I know it's a game show, and I shouldn't get in my feelings about it. But what they said and how they moved, I don't want people like that around me. I wish them the best, but I'm good. I'm going to do my own thing."
And Brown isn't the only recently dumped islander harboring negative feelings about the co-stars who sent him packing.
Charlie Georgiou shared a similar message during a previous interview, reported by The Blast, adding, "They could have saved me. They did not save me. It is what it is."
He further admitted why he was "disappointed" in Amaya Espinal and Cierra Ortega's votes, saying, "Cierra [and I] came in this together, and she knows how long I was trying to find a connection and how happy I was when I had it. At the end of the day, I think I was just the easy vote for them."
He continued, "They didn't want to have to deal with the wrath of their friends. They didn't vote for the guy that had the weakest connection. I think they just voted for the guy they thought would be the easiest to get rid of."
And while the most recent season of "Love Island" is serving up must-see reality television, the producers are reminding viewers to be kind to the show's contestants.
On social media, the official "Love Island" account thanked the show's fans for their passion before saying, "Please just remember they're real people, so let's be kind and spread the love."
Before the start of a recent episode, they also displayed a message on screen which read: "WE LOVE OUR FANS. WE LOVE OUR ISLANDERS, WE DON'T LOVE CYBERBULLYING, HARASSMENT, OR HATE."
