Huda Mustafa and Chris Seeley were not voted off Love Island USA yet but some viewers think he is secretly hoping to leave the villa.
During the Tuesday, July 8, episode of the Peacock dating show, Chris and Huda were at a crossroads about their relationship. The audience was clued in when Chris told the other guys that he was concerned about how Huda doesn’t want to kiss him in public despite the fact that they are having sex.
When Chris approached Huda about his feelings, she tried to explain herself (without letting Chris finish), but that only seemed to make things worse. She noted in a confessional (but not to Chris) that her attempt to be more discreet came after her hot and heavy romance with Jeremiah Brown crashed and burned earlier in the season.
When it was time for the couples to gather at the firepit to find out who America voted off, social media users couldn’t help but notice Chris’ less-than-thrilled facial expression when it was announced he wasn’t leaving Fiji just yet.
“The way chris looked at huda 😭😭😭😭😭he is over it I’m cryinggg,” read one X post while someone else replied, “He wanted to be dumped from the island so bad 😂.”
Others poked fun at how Chris will continue on the show. “Chris has left the villa due to personal reasons 🤣,” wrote another viewer as a reference to Cierra Ortega’s surprise exit from the show earlier this week.
Love Island USA fans said they didn’t remember seeing “anyone disappointed to be saved” while another post wondered whether “Jeremiah had this same look.”
Earlier this season, Huda explored a connection with Jeremiah, which took a turn when they received backlash from fans and their fellow islanders alike for immediately refusing to explore other possible connections.
The online chatter was so extreme that Huda’s ex Noah Sheline, who is also the father of her baby, spoke out after seeing the amount of vitriol sent her way.
They got a text — and found love in the Love Island USA villa. The beloved British dating show made its way across the pond in 2019, following a crop of American bombshells searching for The One in a luxury tropical villa. In season 1, eventual winners Elizabeth Weber and Zac Mirabelli had a connection […]
“She’s maybe not doing a great job idk I don’t watch the show but I don’t like that I’m seeing so much negative s*** on my page or even clips of it about her,” he wrote via Instagram Story in June about the “unhealthy” hate. “It’s not my job to police her or the people in my comments, but I will say what you guys do will affect her mental health and my daughter’s maybe in the future.”
Noah acknowledged that he was “worried” about how Huda will react when she’s out of the villa and has access to the internet again.
“It’s crazy I have to involve myself in this but I don’t want my daughter’s mom to get out and see this and her mental health goes down a hill,” his post continued. “For people who have been respectful and nice and defending her as a mother, thank you! She tries just as much as any other young parent in this world.”
Noah clarified that he didn’t “want to get back with her,” adding, “Not sure what else to say or if I’m talking to a wall of social media. I just ask people be nice. It’s a tv show. Y’all are watching people date I don’t think it’s that serious to put someone down a hole of bullying. Regardless of how ridiculous she might be or seem.”
New episodes of Love Island USA will be released six days a week — except for Wednesdays — on Peacock.
