Kate Cassidy defends Love Island USA star Vanna over ‘harsh criticism’ about her filler
'She's being ripped to shreds on TikTok, on the internet'
Kate Cassidy, who dated One Direction star Liam Payne for two years before his tragic passing in October, has defended Love Island USA star Vanna over the criticism she’s been getting for her filler.
Vanna joined Love Island USA as a Casa Amor bombshell, however the 21 year old was quickly faced with harsh criticism from viewers for having too much filler.

Kate defended her in a TikTok video, explaining how Vanna is getting “ripped to shreds”, slamming the hate as “insane, mean and hurtful.”
She explained: “I don’t even watch Love Island. This beautiful girl who goes into the villa, I guess, Vanna, she is so pretty, she’s so young. She’s being ripped to shreds on TikTok, on the internet. It is insane, and it is so mean and hurtful.”
@kateecass my thoughts so far on love island … just be kind 🫶🏻 #loveislandusa
She continued: Could you imagine not having your phone, going into a villa, whatever, being all excited to meet all these new people, you come out, you get your phone back and you’re just scrolling and it’s literally just degrading, mean s**t?”
Kate sympathises with what Vanna is going through on Love Island USA, explaining: “I get it; I have been slandered on the internet before.
“Like, literally, I’ve heard it all. I’ve heard, ‘you look like a mother,’ ‘you look like a mom,’ ‘you look literally 45,’ ‘no way she’s 25, ‘I can’t even believe it, I thought she was at least 40.'”
She added: “Guys, it’s so mean. It actually literally genuinely hurts. It’s mean, and it’s just so uncalled for. Just three simple words, ready? Just be kind.”
