‘Love Island USA’ season 7 may have concluded, but the drama is continuing off-screen.

And the issue centers on a shocking instance of racism aimed at Olandria Carthen.

As reported, fellow Islander Huda Mustafa and her boyfriend, Louis Russell, hosted a livestream, and an unidentified caller referred to Olandria using the N-word.

In the immediacy of the racist remark, Huda and Louis visibly chuckled.

And they are receiving ample backlash for it.

Now, as the chaos intensifies, Huda has issued a statement.

Full story below…

Here’s the video that sent shockwaves across the net:

After initially posting a statement that folk received as defensive (with its inference about critics creating sensationalism), Huda has changed her tune.

Read her apology below:

“I’ve taken the majority of the day to reflect and collect my thoughts to make sure this didn’t come off as disingenuous.

Last night, I quickly posted a statement acknowledging my reaction to the racial slur that was said on Louis’ livestream. I want to take this moment to more fully take accountability for my actions.

I want to begin by saying I completely respect Olandria and it’s extremely disheartening that anyone, especially a presumed child, would find it excusable to use this type of language, and doing so only underlines the ignorance of the gravity that such a word carries.

Olandria – it is now clear that this comment was targeted at you, and I apologize for my immediate reaction. My reaction in that moment came from being caught off guard, not from finding the word or situation funny. It was a nervous, uncomfortable reaction that I recognize was inappropriate. I want to be clear that I do not condone or tolerate anyone who uses such language, and I strongly encourage the individual responsible to reflect deeply on their words and the harm they’ve caused.

I’m making a personal donation to the NAACP and encourage anyone who feels moved to do the same. I will also share a list of additional organizations that support racial equity, education, and mental health support, so that anyone who wants to contribute can do so meaningfully.

With love,
Huda”

With that, what are…
