Love Island USA season 6 aired a new episode on Thursday, July 18, 2024. During the segment, several islanders got the chance to speak with their parents including Aaron and Kaylor, who won the Mr. and Mrs. Challenge.
One of the people who made an appearance during the video calls was Kaylor's mother, Kara, who had previously slammed Aaron on Facebook for his behavior towards her daughter and compared his actions to a "teenage boy." During the video call, Kara expressed disappointment during Casa Amor but noted that Aaron had "redeemed" himself.
Fans of the show, who were excited to see Kara's conversation with Aaron were let down and took to social media to voice their opinions. One person wrote on X:
"Kaylor's mom saying all this just to not stand on business, she's just like her daughter fr #loveislandusa #loveIsland"
"Kaylor’s mom was popping off on Facebook but isn’t standing on business now that she’s able to talk to Aaron #LoveIslandUSA," a fan commented.
"kaylor’s mom not standing on business during that video call is crazy when she actually wants her to be w rob #loveislandusa," a tweet read.
Love Island USA season 6 fans called the video call "underwhelming:
"I know Aaron meeting Kaylor's mom was going to be underwhelming #loveislandusa," a fan commented.
"Not surprised Kaylor’s mom didn’t have smoke for him onscreen. I expected exactly what happened. She was talking too much online. My mother would never. #loveislandusa," a person wrote.
"not kaylor’s mom being a keyboard warrior … wtf happened to everything she said on facebook ?! #loveislandusa," a fan commented.
Several Love Island USA season 6 fans defended Kara:
"Y’all coming after Kaylor’s mom for her response when they pointed out Aaron’s shitty behavior…in situations like these, not supporting ur daughter’s wishes and trashing the bf makes them run right into their arms, esp when ur not in person to be a divider #loveislandusa," a person wrote.
"If Kaylor’s mom, bashed Aaron, cussed him out, WHAT DO YOU THINK KAYLORS GONNA DO? feel bad for Aaron, run into his arms. U tell ur daughter not to date the bad boy, what do they do? She needs to be able to get Kaylor alone to see the light & w/ love & support #loveIslandusa," a fan commented.
Love Island USA season 6: Kaylor and Aaron talk to family members
Love Island USA season 6 episode 33, Serena and Kordell, Kendall and Nicole, and Aaron and Kaylor spoke to their families. The one conversation fans were looking forward to was Kaylor's mother speaking to Aaron, especially after her long Facebook posts calling him out but were disappointed.
While talking to Kaylor alone, her mother and stepfather praised her daughter for being able to articulate her feelings. Kara, Kaylor's mother reminded her that Aaron was only her second boyfriend.
"Casa Amor, my heart was bleeding the whole time for you. Like, I gotta be real, an emotional roller coaster for me in regards to Aaron, you know? And then you weren't happy, like 'Oh my Gosh, she's wasted this whole experience and journey on one guys who has no regard for her feelings," Kara said.
The Love Island USA season 6 islander's mother further chimed in on Aaron's behavior on Movie Night and recalled him saying that he wasn't thinking about Kaylor while in Casa Amor.
Her stepfather, Rob, said that after Casa Amor, Aaron saw that Kaylor was trying to make it work and realized that he also needed to put in the effort. Kaylor's siblings also appeared, and her sister said she didn't like Aaron.
Later, Aaron joined the conversation and told Kaylor's parents he was nervous. Kara told him that while they were excited to meet him, he had taken them on an emotional roller coaster.
"I'm so sorry, honestly, like, ugh, I can imagine," Aaron said.
Kaylor's mom said it was hard to see the Love Island USA season 6 islander cry for Aaron especially since she gave her "100%" to him. She told him she agreed with everyone giving him a hard time during Movie night but added that she believed the season 6 cast member "redeemed" himself.
"But you redeemed yourself through actions, if she's giving you love, she loves you, we love you because we support her decision. And I got to say, I love you guys together," Kara added.
After the conversation ended, fans of the show took to social media to chime in on the exchange and noted they were unhappy with Kara's conversation with Aaron. While most were looking forward to Kara criticizing the cast member, others noted she did the right thing.
Love Island USA season 6 will air its upcoming episode on Friday, July 19, 2024, at 9 pm ET on Peacock.
