BREAKING NEWS: HUDA MUSTAFA SPIRALS AND DISTURBING TEXT MESSAGES LEAKED

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2186877/fan_mail/new] HUDA FROM LOVE ISLAND IS ALLEGEDLY SPIRALING. In this episode, we chat about the disturbing breaking news that was leaked about Huda Mustafa and boyfriend Luis. We read the text messages that were leaked and show Huda's state of mind, scary threats, and concerning behavior. We get into the concept of taking behavior like this more seriously, and the sometimes blurred lines of reality tv villains who are acting, vs who are being their true selves.  Of course, we hope everyone involved gets the help and resources they need. Sending love to everyone!  Let us know your thoughts on this really bizarre situation!  #Love Island USA Season 7 #Huda Mustafa restraining order #Nicole Olivera #Louis Russell #Celebrity legal drama #reality TV scandal #attempted break-in allegation Intro Music by @djcolbyd_neworleans & love-3lau Use code AMBER65647 at checkout to get your new clothes from Comfrt at Comfrt.com!
