The ‘Love Island’ cast keeps making terrible messes

In late 2025, Love Island USA alum Huda Mustafa faced significant public backlash and career repercussions after a livestream clip showed her and partner Louis Russell laughing briefly when a caller used a **racial slur targeting fellow Season 7 contestant Olandria Carthen. The incident sparked widespread criticism on social media, a public apology from Mustafa acknowledging her reaction, and the end of her partnership with global beauty brand Huda Beauty, which said it took racism seriously and chose to cut ties after the controversy. Olandria responded by condemning racist language and urging accountability and awareness around hate speech.
