Gabriel Vasconcelos has officially been dumped from the Love Island USA villa. At the end of a tense recoupling, Melanie Moreno chose to kick him out. She argued that Gabriel had kissed a lot of different Islanders, so seemed to be “constantly looking for the next best thing” instead of a long-term relationship. Now he’s out the Love Island villa, Gabriel has responded to criticism about kissing lots of Islanders.<\/a><\/p>\n

Gabriel told People:<\/a> “I was kissing people out of the challenge, but everyone’s kissing everyone out of the challenge too. But when it’s Gabriel, when it’s a Latino, it’s wrong?”<\/p>\n

People outside the villa have accused Gabriel of being reluctant to settle down, too. For instance, he kissed two new bombshells while he was coupled up with Beatriz.<\/p>\n

But I feel like their reasoning for picking Gabe isn\u2019t fair because isn\u2019t that the point in Love Island? To explore until you find someone you like?<\/p>\n
