Love Island USA season 6 returned to screens with a brand new episode after being absent on Wednesday. The segment saw the cast continue their journeys in their respective villas as the boys were still in Casa Amor while the girls were in the original villa.
While the boys continued to explore their connections with the newcomers in Casa Amor, the women were shown glimpses of what was happening in the other villa. Serena was shown stories of Kordell and Daia's time together and the cast member was enraged. She broke down crying and fans took to social media to lend their support. One person wrote on X:
"Watching Serena cry hurt me to my core… her having a pep talk with herself about how this has happened to her before, and her never letting it happen again!! Makes me sick to my stomach!!! KORDELL YOU WILL NEVER KNOW PEACE!!! #LoveIslandUSA"
"Serena crying in the confessional cause she’s been through this same scenario so many times, yeah it’s F—K KORDELL forever! #LoveIslandUSA," a fan commented.
"The way Serena crying in the confessional while this Kordell sh*t got her looking back at her trauma #loveislandusa," a viewer mentioned.
Love Island USA season 6 fans criticized Kordell for his behavior in Casa Amor:
"Seeing Serena cry really struck a nerve because she has not let her emotions for Kordell show this ENTIRE TIME BC SHE DIDNT TRUST HIM AND AS SOON AS SHE DOES SHE GETS HURT F—K KORDELL #LoveIslandUSA," one person wrote.
"Kordell is a b*tch I caught his tea early in the season but yall was mad at Serena for not being 100% sure the she gets back with him and HE F—KS SOMEBODY ELSE???? #loveislandusa," a fan commented.
"Serena shouldn’t feel dumb at all cause she been clocked Kordell tea before some of us noticed it. Never feel stupid for trusting your gut instincts and I feel bad for thinking she was playing him. #LoveIslandUSA," a viewer mentioned.
Love Island USA season 6 fans further said:
Y’all thought Serena wasn’t a slow burner & just didn’t like Kordell, must not have watched her entry tape…She talked about how she had been cheated on in all her past relationships which caused her to be more guarded. Kordell proved why she’s the way she is. #loveislandUSA," one person wrote.
"Kordell saying he’s thinking about Serena and wearing her ring while kissing that b*tch? let me in there NOW. #loveislandusa," a fan commented.
Serena calls Kordell's Casa Amor actions "slimy, grimy, and disrespectful" in Love Island USA season 6
In Love Island USA season 6 episode 21, Serena and Kaylor watched back clips of their partners, Kordell and Aaron's behavior in Casa Amor.
The two female islanders were the only two who decided to not share beds with the newcomers since they missed their partners and were devastated watching what their connections had been up to in the new villa.
After watching back clips of their behavior, Serena stormed off in anger as several Love Island USA season 6 female islanders followed her to comfort her.
While in conversation with Leah and Jana, she noted that Kordell had Daia on top of him and was smacking "a**" and compared her behavior to his and said she didn't do anything like that.
In a confessional, she said:
"Kordell, moving very slimy, grimy, and disrespectful. I can't even bring myself to cry, maybe I'm still in shock, I'm sick as f—k."
Serena told her fellow islanders that this was why she wanted to wait and see where things went. She further told the cameras that since it had happened to her so much in the past, she developed a coping mechanism to make a joke of things.
However, she added that she felt "stupid" and "dumb." Fighting back tears, the Love Island USA season 6 cast member said that she couldn't let it happen again.
"I have been through this exact same thing way too many times to like, let this man tear me down. Like, yeah, you hurt me, yeah you said all this sh*t to me, yadda yadda but like, I refuse to let this man tear me down. I can't and I won't. This some bullsh*t," she added in a confessional.
After the episode aired, Love Island USA season 6 fans took to social media to react to the segment and supported Serena. They further slammed Kordell for his Casa Amor actions.
Love Island USA season 6 will air episode 22 on Peacock on Friday, July 5, 2024, at 9 pm ET.
