Love Island USA issued a reminder for fans to “be kind” in its latest episode.
On Tuesday night, a warning message was aired on the reality dating show addressing the comments targeted towards contestants on the show.
“THE KEYWORD IN LOVE ISLAND IS... LOVE,” the statement read. “WE LOVE OUR FANS. WE LOVE OUR ISLANDERS, WE DON'T LOVE CYBERBULLYING, HARASSMENT OR HATE.”
Another message was posted on the Love Island USA X account on Tuesday, urging viewers to treat the contestants with kindness. “We appreciate the fans, the passion for the series, and the amazing group of Islanders who are sharing their summer with us,” the post read. “Please just remember they’re real people — so let’s be kind and spread the love!”
The statements came after Sunday’s episode of the Peacock show saw the men vote out fan-favorite Jeremiah Brown and the women vote out Hannah Fields. Following the episode, many people singled out Ace Greene for being behind Brown’s elimination.
Some fans of the show went as far as accusing Greene of being jealous of Brown and wanting him off the island to increase his own chances of winning.
The host of Love Island USA, Bravo star Ariana Madix, has previously discussed the negative comments made about contestants online during the show’s Aftersun episode on Saturday.

“Love Island has the best fans across the entire globe,” Madix, 40, said. “Passionate — and I love that. There’s such a great, amazing communal experience when it comes to watching the show, but I do want to say something to some of those people who are online. Don’t be contacting people’s families. Don’t be doxing people. Don’t be going on islanders’ pages and saying rude things.”
She continued: “You still have time to delete all of that, because the islanders don’t have their phones. So we’re giving you a chance. Because this is a fun, amazing, beautiful show, and we should be thanking each one of these islanders every single day for giving us themselves. Be nice. Please be nice, or I’ll come find you.”
One of the contestant’s ex-boyfriends, Noah Sheline, also spoke out regarding the hurtful messages he received over the behavior of Huda Mustafa throughout the show.
“At the end of the day, I hope everyone remembers we’re human,” Sheline—who shares a 4-year-old daughter with Mustafa—wrote on his TikTok last week. “Her going on that show to find love, or whatever you think it was she’s doing, remember she’s still human, she has a daughter, and a life.”
Last year, former contestant Daniela Ortiz Rivera shared an emotional TikTok video addressing the intense online hate many cast members — herself included — have faced.
“Please just listen to me. I look crazy, I’m crying. But I just really want to talk about suicide prevention and awareness, and I just think it’s really important,” she said.
“Everything that’s been happening, during all this, and all the hate that people are getting breaks my heart so much because at the end of the day, these people aren’t characters, they’re real people with real feelings.”
Rivera went on to reveal that “many people” at the reunion talked about suicide.
“Hearing people express to me, multiple people, that they’re going through this, it breaks my heart. Please be more kind to these people. Everyone is going through so much. Everyone is learning from their mistakes every day,” she added.
