The Love Island USA<\/em><\/a> girls were accused by the guys of \u201cslut-shaming\u201d Gabriel Vasconcelos<\/strong><\/a> after a controversial elimination.<\/p>\n During the Friday, June 19, episode of the Peacock show, the men in the villa questioned why the women sent Gabriel home \u2014 despite him having a connection with Jen Terry. Their reasoning didn\u2019t clear up their decision and led to more fighting between the group.<\/p>\n \u201cThey are basically just saying, \u2018We think Gabe is a f***boy,\u201d Zach Georgiou told the rest of the guys.<\/p>\n Bryce Alakai Dettloff<\/strong> agreed with that assessment, saying, \u201cJust because he is promiscuous doesn\u2019t mean he is not capable of loving somebody. That is the most slut-shaming s*** I have ever seen in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n Gabriel\u2019s elimination was met with backlash<\/a> off screen following a group vote. Host Ariana Madix had to speak out after viewers claimed the voting process is rigged.<\/p>\n The host, 40, replied to an Instagram comment after Caleb McDaniel and Sol Dean were not announced as a top couple during the Thursday, June 18, episode of the show \u2014 despite an online campaign for the season 8 bombshells.<\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately, they were not in the top 4,\u201d Ariana wrote in response to a message that read, \u201cThey @loveislandusa messing up the show.\u201d Ariana also \u201cliked\u201d a comment which stated that \u201clegally\u201d production \u201ccan\u2019t tamper with results\u201d despite the speculation on social media.<\/p>\n
