Peacock addressed the growing “harassment” of Love Island USA Fans in a press release added in the middle of an episode.
During Tuesday, June 24, episode of the series of reality meetings, there was a message halfway this reading: “The keyword in Love Island is … Love. We love our fans. We love our islanders. “
The statement asked that viewers choose the kindness. “We do not like cyberbullying, harassment or hatred,” concluded the message.
Love Island USA follows a group of singles who must be associated in order to stay in the luxury villa of the show at Fiji. The candidates – who are called islanders – live in isolation in a villa and are under constant video surveillance. They must be coupled to stay in the living room and have the chance to receive the price of $ 100,000.
While the Islanders are constantly running for weeks, viewers watch daily episodes – and can even vote who affect the couples and the fate of candidates. Season 7, however, made the headlines on fans too invested in the drama by playing on the screen, which led to invasive behavior such as the contact of the relatives of the off -screen Icelanders.
Some social media users have also been very vocal about not like the result of certain eliminations after a group vote led to Jeremiah Brown and Hannah Fields to throw from the villa.
Host Ariana Madix recently published a message for those Love Island USA Viewers who take things too far when they express their frustrations.
“I mean something to some of those people who are online,” said Ariana, 40, on Saturday June 21, episode of AFTERSUN. “Do not contact people’s families. Don’t be people to doxxer. “
Ariana questioned the behavior she saw on social networks.
“Do not go to the island pages and say gross things. You still have time to delete all of this because the Islanders do not have their phones,” noted Ariana. “So we give you a chance because it is a fun, incredible and magnificent spectacle. We should thank each of these islanders every day to give us themselves.”
Huda Mustafa Also faced a backlash that she is not aware of because she is still in the villa. In the midst of his tumultuous romance with Jérémie, the ex of Huda Noah ShelineWith whom she shares the 4-year-old girl Arleigh, came to her defense earlier this month, writing via her Instagram history, “at the end of the day, I hope everyone remembers that we are human. She continues this program to find love, or everything you think she was doing, remember that she is always human, she has a daughter and a life.”
Noah urged Peacock viewers not to make fun of Huda.
“She may not do an excellent IDK job, I don’t watch the show, but I don’t like that I see so many s *** negative on my page or even clips about it,” he added about “unhealthy” hatred. “It is not my job to control it or people in my comments, but I will say that what you do will affect her mental health and my daughter is perhaps in the future.”
New episodes of Love Island USA are released six days a week – except Wednesdays – on Peacock.
