'Love Island' Huda Mustafa I'm Sorry, Olandria I Didn't Mean to Laugh at the N-Word

Love Island USA Season 7 alum Huda Mustafa issued a public apology to fellow contestant Olandria Carthen after a viral livestream showed her and her boyfriend nervously laughing when an unknown caller used a racial slur about Olandria during the broadcast. Mustafa said she reacted awkwardly because she was caught off guard and did not find the comment funny, and she apologized directly to Olandria while pledging to donate to the NAACP and share resources for anti‑racism causes. Several former castmates also criticized the initial reaction, and the controversy fueled broader discussion about accountability and how public figures respond to racism online.
