As if there hasn’t been enough of it, there is more drama coming out of Love Island USA. Both the contestants and host Ariana Madix have faced criticism from fans. But now that criticism is coming from inside the house as cast member Daia McGhee calls out Ariana for playing favorites.
Daia has taken issue with how Ariana handled the Season 6 Love Island USA reunion.
“Just get over it”
Fan account Love Island Pit Stop captured a screen recording of Daia’s comments and posted it to TikTok. The clip has just over 192K views and almost 2,500 comments.
In the clip, Daia recalls what went down at the infamous fire pit scene, when the cast debated on whether or not Leah Kateb or Liv Walker were responsible for Andrea Carmona going home.
According to Daia, Ariana asked the cast to raise their hands for who they thought was responsible for the elimination. When no one raised their hands, Daia claimed that Ariana asked again.
After receiving the same response, the Vanderpump Rules star stated that she was treated “way worse” in her experience on reality TV. She then added that the cast had to “just get over it.”
Daia stated in her video, “Respectfully, as a host you don’t say your experience was way worse than what we are going through because at the end of the day, Love Island’s numbers did way bigger.”
“I just feel like as a host of the show it’s your job to not pick favorites,” Daia added. “It’s your job to just be the mediator in the situation. It’s your job to ask the questions that people actually want to see.”
Not everyone on the cast shared Daia’s sentiments about Ariana. And if they did, it didn’t stop them from going to see Ariana’s Broadway performance in Chicago after the reunion.
Daia, who was eliminated from the villa on day 24, did not attend.
Love Island USA Season 6 is now streaming on Peacock.
