This Love Island USA star could be just as controversial as Austin, and not in a good way
It's giving MAGA coded
Blimey. The Love Island USA bombshells are coming in thick and fast. Season seven has literally been jam-packed with drama; it’s hard to keep up. Love triangles are forming, girl code is being broken, people’s uncles are speaking up for them outside the villa, and a ton of the Islanders’ controversial opinions are coming to light. Yulissa Escobar was booted from the show when a video resurfaced of her using a slur. Austin Shepard had people wanting him out of the villa for his controversial views. Now, people are convinced another star on the show shares similar views to him…
Love Island USA’s Jaden chose to couple up with Austin

Ok, so for anyone who missed it, when Austin arrived in the Love Island USA villa, people did some digging on him.
They basically found that a TikTok page, supposedly belonging to him, had been liking a lot of pro-MAGA and pro-Trump content.
The account hadn’t posted anything itself, but the likes were there for all to see.
Then, when bombshell Jaden Duggar arrived, she made a comment that people simply won’t let slide.
She said that prior to heading into the villa, she “did background checks” on all the boys and chose Austin.
This raised some eyebrows given Austin’s controversial views.
Jaden Duggar has more ‘MAGA coded links’
@itschristaxo Idc about the watermark this video is hot #fyp #bestfriends @jaden
While Jaden is doing her thing in the Love Island USA villa, people are digging deeper into her socials – and her best friend’s socials, to find out more about her.
The newbie joined season seven on day 17 and while her political views can’t be confirmed – she hasn’t actually spoken about them herself – folks are certainly speculating.
Per some serious snooping via Distractify, Jaden’s alleged bestie, @itschristaxo, has been reposting a lot of pro-Trump videos on TikTok.
One video sees a man saying the “biggest upside of this Trump w” is how “you can now see all of the girls that are actually intelligent reposting Trump winning… and all these other stupid women are thinking their rights are getting taken away….”
Although Jaden hasn’t reposted MAGA-related content herself, it seems that people are thinking she has controversial political opinons just by association.
