Vanna from 'Love Island USA' slams plastic surgery claims: 'Born with it'
After a pile-on of digital hate, a "Love Island USA" star is speaking out. Vanna Einerson, 21, whose stint on the show was cut short after a post-Casa Amor recoupling, appeared on the "Viall Files" podcast on July 1 to shut down rumors of extensive plastic surgery and urge watchers to be kind. "It was really, really hard seeing all of it," the Salt Lake City social media brand ambassador told Viall, revealing that she had leaned heavily on her co-star – and fellow dumped islander – Coco Watson to deal with the online hate. "I was in the hotel with Coco and (she) was getting a lot of love while I was getting a lot of hate," she revealed. "I had a moment where I just broke down crying. I'm honestly so grateful for Coco that she was there because she sat and prayed over me." 'Huda wasn't even in the room': 'Love Island USA' fans side-eye editing errors Vanna from 'Love Island USA' denies most plastic surgery allegations After Einerson's first appearance on the show, viewers flooded social media with commentary on her appearance, excoriating what they saw as excessive plastic surgery. "I'm OK, I'm very secure in myself," she said on the podcast, but denied that many of the procedures fans were speculating about, she had ever had done. "Most of the things that people thought I got done, like my cheeks and my chin and my lips — lips, duh, I got my lips done. I like my lips. But my cheeks and my chin, born with it," she said. "You guys are calling me out for things and saying that I have filler in things, but I was born with it." This season of "Love Island USA" has spawned a particularly large amount of online hate, with the show's vast network of viewers taking to social media to critique the cast members' appearances and relationship habits. While much of the popularity of the program is derived from its ability to inspire online debate, even the showrunners have noticed an uptick in the nastiness of the commentary. "We appreciate the fans, the passion for the series, and the amazing group of Islanders who are sharing their summer with us," the show wrote in a social media statement, which was also included in the broadcast. "Please just remember they're real people — so let's be kind and spread the love!" Will we ever learn our lesson?

'Botched' Love Island star finally reveals all the plastic surgery she's had done after shock over her real age
Love Island USA fans tore her looks apart, speculating that she had extensive plastic surgery that led to a 'botched' face and an older appearance. And Vanna Einerson, 21, set the record straight while appearing on The Viall Files podcast, which aired Tuesday. Vanna said all the critical comments about her appearance - with many shocked at her real age - caused her to break down and cry. She admitted to get her lips done, as well as a breast augmentation. 'I'm ok, I'm very secure in myself. Most of the things that people thought I got done, like my cheeks and my chin and my lips - lips, duh, I got my lips done. I like my lips. But my cheeks and my chin, [I was] born with it.' she said on the podcast. Adding: 'You guys are calling me out for things and saying that I have filler in things, but I was born with it.' The reality star said it led to 'new' insecurities after so many people pointed out things about her that she was born with. Vanna jokingly said she took it as a 'compliment' that they thought she paid for cheek and chin filler. She also addressed why her face appeared so swollen, blaming the pillow she used on the island. Vanna said she's allergic it feathered pillows: 'I woke up every day [with] my whole face swollen.' She revealed she didn't know she was receiving criticism while on the show because she didn't have her phone. When she got her phone back, her mom told her to wait and go online when she was with her - but she didn't listen and saw all the comments from people eviscerating her looks. 'It was really, really hard seeing all of it. I was in the hotel with Coco [Watson] and [she] was getting a lot of love while I was getting a lot of hate. I had a moment where I just broke down crying. I'm honestly so grateful for Coco that she was there because she sat and prayed over me.' When she got her phone back, her mom told her to wait and go online when she was with her - but she didn't listen and saw all the comments from people eviscerating her looks She also called out the rumor that her mom was the injector and injecting her lips when Vanna was 14. She revealed that her mom is a stay-at-home mom and has 'never had a job in her life.' Vanna, who said 'words really hit so hard,' also denied getting a bbl, which makes a person's backside bigger. Savanna 'Vanna' Einerson made a brief appearance on season seven of Love Island USA, initially making her debut as a Casa Amor girl. As a newcomer on the show, Einerson — a golf influencer hailing from Salt Lake City, Utah — began attracting scrutiny for her physical appearance. 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 'tweaking' her appearance — juxtaposing recent events like Kylie Jenner being widely praised for opening up about the details of her boob job. Meanwhile, there were other TikTok users who said that they 'feel so bad for her' as they shared pity and patronization for her. 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. '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 discourse about the 'impossible beauty standards' in modern society. Outside of the villa, Einerson's close friend started defending her against the online trolls commenting on her appearance. 'Vanna is one of my favorite people,' Lulu Clawson said on TikTok about her best friend of over five years. '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.' Einerson's friend continued: 'She would never make fun of anyone else's looks. She's the least judgmental person.' She 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, 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.

EXCLUSIVE The Valley's Jasmine Goode calls Nick Viall a 'clout chaser' after 'uncomfortable' moment on The Bachelor
The Valley star Jasmine Goode has broken her silence after Nick Viall quipped he wanted an 'apology' from her after their 'uncomfortable' moment during his season of The Bachelor. Goode, 37, shared her thoughts on the Viall Files podcast host in an exclusive interview with Before she joined the cast of Bravo's The Valley, a spin-off of Vanderpump Rules, Goode was a contestant on Viall's season of The Bachelor in 2017. At one point during the season, Goode confronted Viall about not getting a one-on-one date and shared her frustration by putting her hand on Viall's throat and playfully pretending to choke him. Viall reflected on the moment during a recent episode of his podcast The Viall Files, which he co-hosts with his now-wife Natalie Joy. 'I would love an apology from Jasmine,' Viall said during the May 29 episode, which also featured fellow The Valley star Janet Caperna. 'I'm still triggered.' 'All the jokes aside [on] the Jasmine strangling me thing… that did make me uncomfortable. There was a blackout moment,' Viall said. In response to his comments, Goode told that Viall is a 'clout chaser' and insisted that her pretending to choke him was simply a 'joke.' 'Nick is a clout chaser,' Goode claimed. 'He wants attention because I actually did his podcast when he first started out and we joked about it. He laughed about it.' 'Number two, I did not actually touch him. It was gesturing,' she continued. 'And number three, when you're in that situation, I was a sister wife, this is my man, you're dating, this is your boyfriend. 'I'm sorry, I'm from [New] Jersey. If I'm upset with you, like, yes I want to choke you right now. That's how we handle things. 'So, for Nick to act like, "Oh, Jasmine," please. Really, Nick? Get something else. I know you want attention, but this is so Nick coded.' has reached out to Viall's reps for comment. Elsewhere during Goode's interview with the reality star opened up about feeling 'triggered' by co-star Danny Booko's alleged drunken behavior in season two of The Valley, which premiered last April. At the start of the season, The Valley star Jason Caperna claimed that Booko, 41, had been 'inappropriate' with Goode and Goode's fiancée, Melissa Carelli, during a Halloween party. 'Not too long ago, Jasmine was in a situation where Danny was blackout drunk and was really inappropriate,' Caperna explained during a confessional in the premiere episode. 'Danny approached Jasmine, put his hand on her thigh and said, "Get daddy a drink," referring to himself as "daddy." 'And then when she went to go get "daddy" and some other people a drink as well, he approached Jasmine's girlfriend Melissa and grabbed her butt.' Booko later apologized to Goode and Carelli, telling the couple at co-star Brittany Cartwright's white party that his behavior was 'completely out of his character.' However, Goode told her co-stars she still felt 'triggered' by Booko following a cast trip to Santa Barbara, California, in which he had missed a group dinner after a long day of drinking at a winery. Speaking to Goode admitted that she wanted a second apology from Booko over the Halloween incident because she felt his original apology wasn't genuine. 'When this all happened, I got a text message from Danny and then he apologized to Melissa at the white party,' she explained. 'That's the only time. I know he keeps saying he's done this numerous times, and it wasn't multiple apologies. It was at one time at the white party.' 'Then we sat down at the white party and the first thing he said to me was, "Are you doing this to me right now?" And that just sent me. 'I was like, "Wait, I'm doing this to you?" Like, this is the first time you're seeing Melissa. 'This is the first time you're apologizing to her face, and this is what you're saying as you sit down.' Goode continued: 'Right there, I was like, "This apology is not working for me."' In last week's episode, Booko apologized again for his behavior at the Halloween party, which Goode felt needed to happen in order to move forward with their friendship. 'Having that conversation with him again, I think I needed him to understand, like, look, if you want a friendship with me, I want you to understand this is what you did to me and how it made me feel.' New episodes of The Valley air Tuesdays at 9pm ET on Bravo.

The 'Mormon Wives' cast is fighting over pay. Here's the drama explained and why Whitney thinks they might not always be paid equally.
" The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" cast broke the fourth wall in season two when arguments about pay spilled onscreen. The reality show, which follows a group of unconventional Mormon-adjacent TikTok influencers known as MomTokers, was one of Hulu's biggest new hits of 2024. The immediate success led to the streamer renewing the show for 20 episodes in October 2024 — more than double the length of season one. In season two, episode six, the cast revealed that negotiations for the second season led to an argument where Demi asked for Jessi to be kicked off the show to boost her and their castmates' pay packets. This surprised fans and the other cast members since Demi and Jessi were close friends up until that moment. Whitney, another cast member, told Business Insider on May 20 that the cast are currently paid equally for starring in the show, but suggested that there could be more conversations "down the line." Here's what to know about the cast's pay and how it led to Jessi and Demi's fallout. Jessi said Demi wanted an 'absurd' amount of money On May 20, Jessi told the "Viall Files" podcast that Demi's attempt to kick her off the show was the "catalyst" for the end of the friendship. In the episode, Jessi said that the argument began during a call with the cast, their managers, and lawyers as they devised a plan to negotiate higher pay for season two before season one aired. Jessi said she joined the call and heard Demi's husband, Bret, tell the cast to quit the show if they didn't get the salary he and his wife wanted. Jessi said she responded by saying she didn't want to quit, which she said angered Bret and Demi. "She basically threw me under the bus because I didn't care to fight for more money, and she wanted an absurd amount of money," Jessi said, without stating how much Bret and Demi wanted. Jessi said after the initial call, Demi called the other cast members to say Jessi should be kicked off the show so they could earn more money. Mikayla, Jessi's costar who appeared on the same "Viall Files" episode, also said that the amount Demi requested was too much, adding that the cast did not know how successful the show would be. Mikayla added that Demi told cast members that Jessi had "no morals, no values." Whitney and Layla told Business Insider that the cast eventually decided to be paid equally for season two. Explaining how the show's cast is paid, Whitney said: "it is equal and I think maybe more seasons down the line, we'll have more conversations about it because I think just naturally more people are being filmed more than others." Demi and Jessi's fallout shows the struggles of mixing business with friendship Demi and Jessi made up before filming season two, but the started to show when Jessi learned that Demi told their costar, Taylor, not to get her hair done at Jessi's hair salon, JZ Styles, and criticized her business. Demi said she was repeating criticism from others and that she didn't do anything wrong. Jessi said the final straw was when Demi kept criticizing her for not supporting her in various arguments. "I was just like 'I'm not doing this pattern where I have to beg for your love if I'm not doing exactly what you want,'" Jessi said. Demi told "Viall Files" on May 15 that the fallout was just a "misunderstanding" that could be resolved, but she said Jessi refused to talk with her off-camera. The arguments are a problem for a show built around the idea that the cast are supportive, close friends. Any rifts that might make viewers question how genuine their friendship is could affect brand deals that the MomTokers get and the success of the show. Jessi and Demi have re-followed each other on Instagram, which could mean they are rebuilding their friendship. A representative for Demi and Bret did not immediately respond to a comment request from Business Insider.
