Huda Mustafa is under fire from Love Island fans, but one former star says she knows exactly what Huda is going through—and her advice is simple: lean on your loved ones and block out the noise.
We caught up with Andrea Carmona, a fan favorite-turned-target from Love Island Season 6, and she didn’t hold back on how tough life can get once the cameras stop rolling.
“It was brutal. I could post a picture of a sunset or my thumb, and people would still find something to criticize,” Andrea recalled. “The only thing that saved me was having a strong support system. Without my family and friends, I don’t think I’d have made it through.”
Huda’s Social Media Backlash
Huda, one of Season 7’s most talked-about contestants, has been trending for all the wrong reasons in recent weeks. Fans have flooded her socials with hate comments over her emotional outbursts and accusations of manipulative behavior in the villa.
While some viewers defend her, others have taken their criticism too far, turning her into one of the season’s most polarizing figures.
Andrea’s Advice: “You’ll Never Please Everyone”
Andrea says her biggest lesson from Love Island was realizing it’s impossible to make everyone happy.
“Huda has to understand she’ll never please everyone—and it’s not worth trying. She needs to focus on the people who actually care about her and block out the rest,” Andrea told The Pop Radar.
She even offered to meet with Huda once the season ends, saying:
“I’d love to sit down with her and share our experiences. It’s so important for women in this industry to support each other.”
Reality TV Aftermath: ‘Beyond the Villa’ and More
As for her own post-show career, Andrea revealed she turned down an offer to appear on Beyond the Villa, the spin-off featuring other Love Island alums.
“It wasn’t the right fit for me. I needed time to heal and figure out what’s next on my own terms,” she explained.
Huda Has at Least One Ally
While online trolls may continue to circle, it’s clear Huda has an ally in Andrea Carmona—and fans hope the pair’s connection will help her weather the storm.
Huda Mustafa’s time in the villa may be full of drama, but it’s what happens after the show that will truly test her resilience.
