‘Love Island USA's Chelley and Huda Send Message to Fans Amid Feud
If you watched the reality TV gold that was Love Island USA season 7, then you know that Chelley Bissainthe and Huda Mustafa didn't always get along in the Villa. Now that they've left Fiji, it appears that Chelley and Huda have unfollowed each other on Instagram amid severe harassment from fans, prompting them both to release statements condemning bullying and hate. Need more info? Here's everything we know about what's going on with Chelley and Huda after Love Island USA. Huda and Chelley had a major falling out in the Villa after Huda danced on Ace Greene during the Heart Rate challenge, and things only got more tense after the Standing on Business challenge, when Chelley questioned Huda's behavior with both Ace and Chris Seeley. Fans of both women immediately went to war on social media, and despite the fact that Chelley and Huda have unfollowed each other on Instagram (Olandria Carthen also reportedly unfollowed Huda), they're asking fans to stop spreading any hate in their names. Speaking to Blavity in a post-show interview, Huda specifically defended Chelley and Olandria, who have been getting a lot of unwarranted hate as Black women on television often do. 'I still love Olandria. If I'm not hating her, I don't think anyone should be,' she said, adding that while 'everyone is entitled to their own opinion,' there is a line that is to to be crossed. 'I don't condone hate. I don't condone bullying. I don't condone any of that,' she continued. 'I think people's safeties are at risk. And the last thing I want is for anyone to feel unsafe or to feel like they're getting some sort of backlash at my expense. I think that's ridiculous.' And while she admitted that she and Chelley weren't close, that doesn't mean she wants her fans to attack. 'I do wish her the best and I do care for her as a person,' she said. Meanwhile, in an Instagram statement thanking fans, Chelley alluded to the racist hate she's received throughout the season. 'To the people who used their platforms not just to recap a show but to speak truthfully about the deeper realities Black women face, your words meant everything,' she wrote in part. 'You reminded the world that we are layered, emotional, complex, worthy and real. Thank you for holding the line of truth with me and for me in times where hate seemed stronger than usual.' She then echoed Huda's calls for fans to stop harassing others, writing, 'I just ask one favor... that my supporters turned family continue to spread love and not hate. Keep lifting each other up. Keep choosing compassion. That's how we change the world.' Chelley and Huda might not be friends, but they're clearly not enemies. Hopefully fans will get a clearer answer on where they stand when the Love Island USA season 7 reunion airs August 25.

LOVE Island viewers have kicked off and accused bosses of favouring a certain girl in the villa. While there's no evidence of any ITV2 producers meddling in the process, fans have come to their own conclusions concerning 6 Fans have erupted over the way Shakira has been made to look over Helena Credit: Eroteme 6 Viewers have accused producers of editing Movie Night in favour of Helena Credit: Eroteme Viewers are questioning editing decisions when it comes to Helena and how she is being portrayed against Fans have flooded the comments section of the site and claimed that producers have deliberately set up the brunette to look a certain way. In particular, why Helena's Sofa detectives are claiming bosses are 'protecting' blonde air hostess Helena. During Movie Night, contestants were shown controversial scenes of all their antics that they might not have wanted to be shown. Read more This included One user on Reddit wrote: "There's no good couples this year and we're already in the run up to the end of the season, so the producers are probably trying to push the couples that have been together longer, like Helena/Harry and Meg/Dejon. "They both got much lighter edits than they could have gotten on movie night!" A second assumed: "Producers are weird AF for putting in every clip of Shakira talking about Helena but left out half the clips of the sh*t Helena did that made Shakira feel that way." Most read in Love Island A third fan mused: "I just don't understand why the compilation of Shakira was shown without showing all the cr*p Helena has pulled that caused Shakira to act that way. Come on! Helena has been so nasty and Shakira was just reacting to it." "How they didn't show the 'shall I wear Shakira's bikini' clip is beyond me. Lmao," wrote another baffled fan. Love Island erupts in vicous row as FOUR girls confront 'mean girl' on Movie Night - and boy is forced to step in "They are basically protecting Helena," remarked another. "Makes me think the producers are protecting her because the couples are being torn apart and they need to give SOMEONE the winners' edit. "For the first time there's no front-running couple (or even anything remotely close to it) so near to the end and I imagine they've decided they need to push for one," penned another. During one clip, Shakira's comments on Helena were shown to the rest of the group. The moment showed a series of clips where Shakira slammed Helena for her behaviour. One clip showed her telling Toni that Helena needs to take off her bikini because it doesn't fit properly, another showed Shakira agreeing with Harrison after he called Helena Harry's "bit on the side". It came after Helena repeatedly tried to interfere with Shakira's relationship, from whispering sexual comments in his ear during the Heart Rate challenge, to taking swipes at Shakira and even asking Harry to the Hideaway while he was in a couple with Shakira.

Love Island viewers are all saying the same thing after the Heart Rate challenge
The fallout from tonight's Love Island challenge is going to be next-level dramatic, if viewers on X are anything to go by. ICYMI, on Monday 30 June we saw the return of Love Island's Heart Rate challenge, with the boys and girls competing to – as the name suggests – raise each other's heart rates. Things got pretty sexy to say the least, from Dejon's BDSM get up to Giorgio's melted chocolate and Yasmin's biting tactics. But it was Helena's secret comment to Harry that has got fans talking the most. The 29-year-old cabin crew member whispered into the footballer's ear that she "can't wait" to "f*ck" him and, while Helena refused to repeat the comment in the Beach Hut, Harry wasted no time in sharing the news with the rest of the boys. When it was his turn to strip off, Harry whispered a similar comment to Helena, and the pair gave each other a knowing look. Later in the episode it was revealed that Helena and Harry raised each other's heart rates the most. That, combined with their whispered comments, is what fans are predicting will lead to a massive confrontation in tomorrow's episode. "I can't wait for the drama we're about to see when Shakira finds out what Harry and Helena said to each other," one viewer wrote on X, as someone else shared: "Can't wait for Shakira to drag Helena for that comment AND Harry." "Tomorrow night is going to be DRAAAAMMMMAAAAAAA," a third fan exclaimed. Here's a few more reactions to the Shakira/Harry/Helena triangle... Popcorn at the ready! 🍿
