Love Island USA season 6 released its latest episode on Thursday, June 27. Episode 15 saw the three new singles, Cassidy Laudano, Nigel Okafor, and Kenny Rodriguez, take Miguel, Serena, and JaNa on dates, respectively. While the singles, popularly known as 'bombshells, got the chance to mingle and form connections, existing relationships inside the villa were put to the test.
In episode 12, which aired on June 23, Rob's partner, Andrea, was eliminated from the show. The eviction left Rob emotionally wrecked, and he wondered if his ex-partner, Leah, tampered with the votes. While Leah tried to reconnect with Rob, admitting she did not try to sway the final decision, the latter felt apprehensive. In a private conversation with fellow co-star Liv, Rob learned that Leah persuaded them to evict Andrea.
In the latest episode, Rob confronted Leah about allegedly lying to him, relying on Liv's words. Leah accused Liv of spreading rumors, while the latter stood her ground. It led to a heated argument, followed by Rob and Leah's fallout.
Love Island USA fans on X were divided over the spat. Some thought Liv twisted Leah's words, while others accused Leah of lying.
"Liv your face card and your personality are both 10's. We love you girlie #loveislandusa," wrote one person.
"All Leah did was tell Liv to shut up throughout the entire conversation and never once told the truth, then cried about it. Liv on the other hand stood on business and was brutally honest," said a fan.
"the hate for liv is kinda odd because she has been the realest and straight forward person in the villa...#loveislandusa," a person wrote.
Liv's fans disapproved of Leah's demeanor during the argument, pointing at her enraged outburst.
"Her telling liv to stop acting like a b*tch when she's the one shouting and swearing while liv is calm is crazyyyy," another person wrote.
"24 years old and arguing like ur 15 and mom just gave u the privilege of cursing And liv 21 having more class than 99% of people her age #loveislandusa," another fan said.
Some Love Island USA fans took to X to defend Leah, accusing Liv of twisting words and spreading rumors.
"So Liv yells at the boys repeatedly that it was a 'unanimous decision' then snakes over to Rob and pretends like Leah played her? Math isn't mathing #loveislandusa," one fan wrote.
"Liv is such a liar for trying to say that Leah was the main one pushing for them to vote Andrea off when if you rewatch the episode, Leah said one thing about it and it was Liv who was in control of that entire conversation #loveislandusa," a fan said.
"yall was calling liv the realest but she was talking all that sh*t abt leah, never addressed her abt it then was being nice in her face. now she's gagged she's met her match an actual real b*tch who stands on business, princess leah #loveislandusa," another person commented.
"Leah was never the problem idgaf what ya'll say! She confronted everyone about it and they had nothing to say now suddenly they wanna gang up on her...funny #loveislandusa," said a fan.
Fans also blamed Rob for narrating the issue incorrectly.
"I hate Liv and rob is a manipulative gaslighting queen," a person wrote.
What caused Leah and Liv's argument on Love Island USA season 6?
Leah admitted to Rob that she took a "back seat" when the decision to vote Andrea off Love Island USA was made. She further stated that she never spoke maliciously about Rob to Andrea, adding that she wanted them to be happy and had good intentions for the latter.
However, Rob struggled to believe that. Knowing how much Leah liked him, he felt she was dishonest about her feelings toward Andrea. To confirm his doubts, he approached Liv, who clarified that Leah played the biggest role in Andrea's elimination. In the latest Love Island USA season 6 episode, Rob confronted Leah about her alleged lies.
Leah tried to defend herself and called Liv to explain what she said to Rob. While the Love Island USA cast member stated she took the "back seat," Liv disagreed. The latter said that Leah played a major role in Andrea's elimination. At the same time, Leah confessed she had a say in the final vote but restrained herself from influencing the others, considering her past with Rob.
The two refused to understand the other's stance, which caused a heated argument. Rob walked away, declaring his relationship with Leah was over. In a confessional, Liv spoke about Leah's refusal to accept what she said and how it affected the others.
"I don't trust Leah. We all stood up for why we chose that decision and I think it's very, it says a lot about someone's character to then be like, it wasn't me, it wasn't me, it wasn't me," said Liv.
Love Island USA season 6 airs every day of the week except Wednesdays at 9 pm ET only on Peacock.
