Olandria CRIES & Reveals How HUDA Mistreated Her Behind The Scenes | HO’

When fans thought the drama between Love Island alumni Huda, her boyfriend Lewis, and fellow castmate Olandria had finally cooled off — it erupted again in the most chaotic way possible. What started as a prank call gone horribly wrong has spiraled into a full-blown reckoning about colorism, accountability, and how far people will go to protect their image.

The Livestream That Started It All

It began innocently enough. Huda and Lewis were on Instagram Live, laughing, vibing, and chatting with fans — until one “fan” called in and dropped the N-word on air. The twist? The caller was white.

You’d expect immediate outrage, right? Nope. Instead of calling it out, Huda and Lewis laughed — hard. Viewers were stunned. Clips of the moment spread like wildfire across TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and Reddit. Within hours, the couple was accused of enabling racism and mocking a dark-skinned Black woman — Olandria — who had been targeted by Huda’s fandom before.

“They literally GIGGLED,” one user wrote. “That was not nervous laughter — that was enjoyment.”

The backlash was instant. Even loyal fans couldn’t defend them this time.

Olandria Speaks Out — and Breaks Down

Olandria wasted no time addressing the situation. In a heartfelt Instagram statement, she wrote:

“I do not condone racism of any kind, nor do I entertain it. Words like that carry generations of pain, and pretending otherwise only keeps the cycle going. Defending it, laughing about it, or making excuses is even worse.”

She didn’t name names, but everyone knew who she meant. In a follow-up video, the reality star appeared visibly emotional as she talked about how “tiring” it’s been to constantly deal with subtle digs, shady comments, and racist abuse from viewers since her season aired.

“I’m so exhausted,” she said through tears. “Every time I speak up, I’m called ‘sensitive’ or ‘jealous.’ But imagine watching people you worked with — people who should know better — laugh when someone calls you a slur.”

The clip went viral, racking up over three million views in two days. Hashtags like #StandWithOlandria and #HudaAccountability started trending, while fans demanded that Huda issue a proper apology — not a PR-coached one.

Huda’s First Response — and the Gaslight Heard Around the Internet

When Huda finally spoke up, her statement only made things worse.

“First of all, clickbait using a sensitive topic is insane,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “Me and Louis did not hear what was said on that no-caller-ID call, only the racial slur, which we hung up on immediately.”

Girl. The internet had receipts.

Clips clearly showed both her and Lewis laughing and reacting after the slur was said. So when she insisted they “hung up immediately,” fans called cap.

“She really thinks we’re blind and deaf,” one commenter said. “We watched the video — and she’s still lying.”

Others accused her of gaslighting the audience instead of taking accountability. “This is textbook influencer behavior,” one TikToker explained. “Downplay, deflect, then cry about being bullied.”

Lewis Joins the Chaos

Lewis tried to defend himself too, but his response didn’t help. He posted a video claiming he “didn’t hear the name before the slur” and that the laughter was “just a reaction.” He then pulled the “I can’t be racist, I’m Black” card, saying:

“As a Black man who’s experienced racism my whole life, I don’t even want to give that person satisfaction by reacting.”

Fans weren’t buying it. “He turned a conversation about colorism into a monologue about himself,” one person commented. “It’s giving deflection.”

Round Two: The Apology That Actually Sounded Human

After facing a massive wave of cancellations, Huda tried again. This time, her tone changed.

“I want to take this moment to more fully take accountability for my actions,” she wrote in a follow-up statement. “Olandria, it’s now clear that this comment was targeted at you, and I apologize for my immediate reaction. It was a nervous, uncomfortable reaction that I recognize was inappropriate.”

She added links to donate to organizations that support Black and marginalized communities. It was… better. Still, a lot of fans felt it was too little, too late.

“She only apologized after she started losing brand deals,” one user noted. “Not because she grew a conscience.”

The Hidden History Between Huda and Olandria

The livestream might’ve been the final straw, but their beef goes way back.

During Love Island’s infamous Heart Rate Challenge, Huda took her flirtation with contestant Ace way too far, even though she knew fellow islander Shel had feelings for him. When the episode aired, Huda’s fans flooded Olandria’s and Shel’s social media with racist DMs — just because the two women stood next to each other during the confrontation.

Things got so bad that some trolls even photoshopped Olandria’s face onto images of George Floyd.

Yes. That George Floyd.

Olandria begged Huda to publicly condemn the hate. Huda promised she would. She never did.

When confronted about it at the reunion, Huda said she was “dealing with a lot” and “didn’t know what to say.” Olandria’s face said it all.

“I get that you were hurting,” Olandria told her, visibly emotional. “But your face wasn’t plastered on George Floyd’s body. Mine was.”

The room went silent.

The Fallout: Brands Pull Out & Fans Turn Away

The internet moves fast — and so do brands. Within days, multiple companies quietly cut ties with Huda. One of the biggest? Huda Beauty.

While the brand didn’t issue an official statement, fans noticed the influencer’s sponsored posts vanished from their feed, and she was removed from a scheduled campaign lineup.

“She fumbled the bag and the moral compass,” one tweet said.

PR experts online estimated Huda may have lost over $200,000 in partnerships in less than a week.

Meanwhile, Olandria’s following skyrocketed. Her calm, articulate response won over fans who once doubted her. She’s now being hailed as one of the few Love Island alums using her platform to talk about colorism and mental health instead of just “vibes and brand trips.”

Shelley Breaks Her Silence

Another familiar face from the show, Shelley, finally decided to speak up. In her Instagram Story, she wrote:

“Seeing what happened with a former Love Island castmate and her partner laughing during a prank that included a racist remark toward Olandria was disappointing. Racism isn’t a prank. It’s not entertainment. Let’s not make light of moments like these.”

Fans praised Shelley’s timing but also pointed out that she stayed quiet when Olandria faced abuse months earlier. “Where was this energy back then?” one person commented. “Now that it’s safe to speak, everyone’s suddenly woke.”

Public Opinion Splits

By now, the internet had split into two camps.

On one side: people defending Huda, claiming the laughter was nervous, not malicious.

On the other: fans demanding that influencers be held accountable, especially when they’re Black themselves and still perpetuate colorism.

TikTok users began stitching Huda’s old clips, showing patterns of “micro-aggressions” toward darker-skinned women on the show. “It’s the subtle stuff,” one creator explained. “The eye rolls, the side comments, the fake apologies. It’s been there all along.”

Olandria’s Final Words — and the Message That Stuck

Despite everything, Olandria ended her statement on a note of grace:

“I will not let this moment derail my purpose of uplifting my community. I hope we can all learn from this — to listen, to do better, and to hold each other accountable.”

She didn’t name Huda again. She didn’t need to. The world already knew.

The Aftermath: Where Things Stand Now

As of this week, Huda has gone mostly silent on social media. Her comments are limited, and her management reportedly “declined interviews.” Lewis is still posting gym selfies like nothing happened, but fans aren’t letting him forget.

Olandria, meanwhile, has been flooded with support. Several Black-owned brands have reached out to collaborate with her, and she’s scheduled to speak on a podcast about “Reality TV and Racial Bias.”

Still, she admits the scars remain. “I’m healing,” she told fans in a recent live. “But it’s hard knowing people laughed when they should’ve protected you.”

The Bigger Picture

The situation isn’t just about one livestream gone wrong. It’s a reminder of how racism and colorism continue to shape online fandoms — even within the Black community.

Influencers like Huda wield massive influence, but when they refuse to call out bad behavior, it sends a dangerous message: that some pain is still up for debate.

As one viral tweet put it, “Accountability isn’t bullying. It’s the bare minimum.”
