Nicole Jacky and Kendall Washington ended their Love Island USA experience together. Despite falling short of the winning spot, the couple left the show hand-in-hand with fans hopeful for their romance. But, Kendall’s world came crashing down when he left the villa to find out a private video of himself was leaked online.
Some time has passed since Love Island USA wrapped, but the video drama still appears to be haunting Kendall as Nicole airs her thoughts on the matter during the show’s August 19 reunion. Nicole breaking her silence on the ordeal has many viewers divided and some take to X (Twitter) to say they feel awkward.
Nicole breaks silence on Kendall video
For anyone tuning into the Love Island USA reunion without any prior background on the “video drama,” we can take a quick trip down memory lane.
After Love Island USA season 6 wrapped and Kendall left the villa, he was confronted by the fact a private video featuring himself had been leaked online.
At the time, his sister, Taylor, called for “mental health resources” to be readily available as she shared concern for Kendall.
The private video in question did the rounds on X and saw Kendall unclad.
Some fans take to social media now to say the video could’ve been old news, but things were rehashed at the reunion bringing the whole thing to light again.
Nicole broke her silence on the matter during the reunion, telling of how Kendall “lied to her” regarding how the video came about.
She said:
“…I think when you say you love somebody in the moment, and when you’re telling me about something, you need to be honest. Instead of saying it’s from years ago from somebody you trusted, an ex-girlfriend, and then I find out that it was in the hotel room before you go on the show to someone on a dating app, is crazy.”
Their reunion segment results in an argument, but the two confirm they are still together, reports Today.
GRV Media and Reality Tidbit previously approached Love Island USA for comment.
Nicole rubs fans the wrong way
As Nicole airs her thoughts at the Love Island USA reunion, many fans weigh in on the drama and say it wasn’t the time or place to hash out her feelings.
One tweets: “I don’t like Nicole for this…” and more say they can’t see the star as the “victim” in the situation, given how the video leak was featuring Kendall.
However, some are keen to defend Nicole, writing: “Is this the right place for Nicole to air this out, maybe not. But I don’t think everything needs to be jumping in for Kendall. She has valid points, and it’s not for everyone to drown her out”.
More urge the couple to “have this conversation at home” adding memes of how the whole scenario made them feel uncomfortable.
Another writes: “…can’t believe I’m defending Kendall but Nicole is so hung up on the lying like that’s not one of the most embarrassing, unexplainable things to ever happen to a person.”
More take to Reddit to say: “Guys I still can’t believe they showed all of Nicole and Kendal!!! Like that didn’t need to be aired on TV, all of people don’t even know about it and now they do.”
Another concludes: “I felt bad for Nicole and Kendall because I think both of them are struggling with what happened.”
