Last week, a fan-made TikTok video went viral as viewers debated her looks and expressed disbelief that she 'is only 21 years old.'
Some people harshly criticized her appearance but there were other TikTok users who said they 'feel so bad for her' as they shared pity and patronization for the contestant.
The caption for the video, which speculated about Einerson getting 'fillers,' read: 'I do not want to bully this poor girl at all. She is not ugly. But those fillers are aging her SO MUCH. She is 21?'
Shortly afterwards, the official Instagram page of Love Island USA took to social media to share a statement in response to the negative comments about the stars.
The statement read: 'We appreciate the fans, the passion for the series, and the amazing group of Islanders who are sharing their summer with us. Please just remember they're real people - so let's be kind and spread the love!'
Some social media users claimed she was 'overfilled' while others wrote that she 'looks sooo much older and different now.'
Some users left harsh comments, comparing her to fictional characters on TV, while others started talking about the 'impossible beauty standards' in modern society.
Outside of the villa, Einerson's close friend started defending her against the online trolls.
On TikTok, the islander's best friend for over five years, Lulu Clawson said: 'Vanna is one of my favorite people.'
Too much: Last week, a fan-made viral TikTok debated her looks and expressed disbelief that she 'is only 21 years old'
Lulu continued: 'She's so nice to every single person she meets. She's so genuine. She's so confident. She loves herself. She loves her style. She loves her appearance, and she loves everybody else's as well.
'She would never make fun of anyone else's looks. She's the least judgmental person.'
The best pal concluded her post by calling out the haters and wrote: 'If someone is confident and loves themselves, then let them. It doesn't matter if you think they shouldn't look like that.'
When Einerson first entered Casa Amor, she ended up coupling with Ace, disrupting his connection with Chelley in the villa.
Love Island USA, which stars Ariana Madix as the host, airs six nights a week, except for Wednesday, on Peacock with all prior episodes available for streaming.

Pat McAfee finally apologizes for spreading fake sex rumor about Ole Miss student five months later
Pat McAfee has revealed he recently apologized to Mary Kate Cornett and her family in person after spreading a fake sex claim about the Ole Miss student earlier this year. Cornett, 19, was the subject of a vile internet rumor back in February which alleged that she was in a sexual relationship with the father of her University of Mississippi boyfriend, Evan Solis, also 19. The unproven accusation, which was even investigated by the FBI, left Mary Kate's family furious as they threatened legal action against anyone who shared it online. One of those people was McAfee, who discussed the false rumor live on his ESPN sports talk show on two separate occasions. Cornett ripped into the former NFL punter for doing so at the time, while claiming that he had never contacted her to find out if there was any truth to the story. McAfee then broke his silence a week later by insisting he 'never wants to be a part of anything negative in anybody's life'. Now, five months on from the start of the rumor, he has finally apologized to both Cornett and her family for spreading it. 'As a lot of you know, on February 26 of this year, we were down at the Combine on this particular program. We discussed a very viral internet story about an Ole Miss college student. We weren't clear at that time where the story originated from. It was all over the internet,' McAfee said on Wednesday's edition of his show. 'Yet by the time we talked about it, the story was everywhere. I have since learned that the story was not true, and that my show played a role in the anguish caused to a great family and especially to a young woman, Mary Kate Cornett. 'I think you all know from tuning into this program that I never want to be a source of negativity or contribute to another human's suffering. And I can now happily share with you that I recently got to meet Mary Kate and her family. And I got a chance to sincerely apologize to them and acknowledge that what I said about Mary Kate was based solely on what others were saying on the internet, or what had previously been reported by others, and that we had no personal knowledge about Mary Kate or her personal life.' McAfee then added: 'As a girl dad, I also was very thankful for the opportunity to let Mr. Cornett know that I was wildly regretful for the part that our show, our program, played in his daughter, Mary Kate's, pain. 'I know many of you are wondering why I, or we, haven't addressed this topic until now. It's a fair question. But as you might imagine, there was a lot going on behind the scenes since this all happened. 'The most important element on the timing is that I, personally, it was a decision I made, wanted to talk to the family first before addressing it publicly. And I can now say that I had the opportunity to meet them, chat with them, and they're wonderful people. And I'm very thankful that they gave me the opportunity to tell them how sorry I was that this all happened, and that our program was a part of this. 'I deeply regret all the pain that this caused. I hated watching what our show as a part of, in her interviews and reading about it. And my hope is that this can be something that we all learn from going forward. I know we certainly have. 'Our goal at this show is to make the world a happier place, a better place. To celebrate life and sports and unify folks. I, and we, don't always get it right. But we'll never stop trying.' McAfee was not the only high-profile figure to admit regret over spreading the false accusation about Cornett, with Barstool Sports boss Dave Portnoy also owning up to his mistake. Portnoy expressed regret that his media empire played a part, telling telling the Daily Mail back in April that he would be 'p***ed' if he was Cornett's family. In a statement, he said: 'I wish we didn't publish it even if it was only for 7 minutes. 'I'd be p***ed if I was the family too. I'd like to think we're better than publishing fake rumors of people not in the public eye regardless of how viral the story was.'

Can Burning Man survive the financial desert - and keep its soul intact?
Burning Man has faced its share of challenges in recent years. There were the Covid years when organizers cancelled the Nevada festival entirely, the sweltering record temperatures of 2022, and mud created by heavy rains in 2023 that trapped tens of thousands of attendees on the playa. Then last year, Burning Man tickets failed to sell out as they had every year since 2011. It was an indicator of a deep trouble for the week-long desert celebration in the form of a $20m revenue shortfall that meant 'everything is now at risk', Marian Goodell, the Burning Man Project CEO, wrote last fall. Burning Man has been trying to find its financial footing and figure out how to ensure the longevity of a festival that has become an institution, Goodell told Bloomberg in an interview this week, a month ahead of this year's festivities. The festival must succeed as a business, she told the outlet, while adding: 'I am loath to look at Burning Man as a product, where the goal is to sell as much of the product as possible.' Burning Man, which started in 1986 on a San Francisco beach, is held each year in Nevada's remote Black Rock desert, where as many as 73,000 people travel to partake in the revelry and performance art. But over the years it has increasingly become a playground for the wealthy and Silicon Valley elite, such as Elon Musk. Meanwhile, rising ticket prices have coincided with a decrease in attendees making less than $50,000, Bloomberg reported. Wealthy attendees, the outlet noted, have provided a 'lifeline' to Burning Man over the years, with five people responsible for two-thirds of the $60m the festival has raised since 2014. Despite its explosive popularity over the years, in 2024 Burning Man fell short of its fundraising goals and saw a reduction in ticket sales. The organization does not have corporate sponsorships to support its operations, and the sale of tickets, which cost anywhere from $550 to $3,000, do not alone cover those expenses, Goodell said in her October note. 'Ticket revenue alone does not fund all that Burning Man Project does to bring Burning Man to the world, including the production of Black Rock City, and in fact has not since 2014.' The organization has turned to Burners for support, writing that a monthly contributions of $20 'will help to keep Burning Man programs alive'. While it received millions of dollars in support, it still fell short of its fundraising goal last year. But this year's tickets have so far sold well, according to Bloomberg, allowing organizers 'to keep moving forward.' Last year's decline in ticket sales prompted some outlets to ask whether the festival was past its prime, but Goodell argued in the Reno Gazette Journal in June 'the values that guide the Burning Man creative culture are more relevant today than ever.' 'It's not a partisan project. It's a cultural one. It's creative. And creative culture, especially when rooted in shared values rather than political ideology, is what holds people together when everything else feels like it's falling apart,' she said.
