After an explosive couple of episodes, the father of Love Island USA star Huda Mustafa has spoken out to address all of the backlash.
Huda coupled up with Jeremiah Brown, who was instantly smitten. She did not reveal that she was a mother until they were a few days in, but Jeremiah has stuck by her… fans have called her out for being “controlling” and for leaving her child for six weeks to compete on a dating show.
Huda is 24.
“At the end of the day I hope everyone remembers we’re human,” he wrote in a lengthy message on his TikTok Story. “Her going on that show to find love, or whatever you think it was she’s doing, remember she’s still human, she has a daughter, and a life,” Noah Sheline, her ex and the father of her 4-year-old daughter Arleigh.
“She’s maybe not doing a great job idk I don’t watch the show but I don’t like that I’m seeing so much negative s–t on my page or even clips of it about her,” he added.
He continued, “It’s not my job to police her or the people in my comments, but I will say what you guys do will affect her mental health and my daughter’s maybe in the future. So I’m looking out for her in that aspect. Out of respect for our daughter,” he said.
He says he’s now concerned about the mental health of his baby’s mother, who will likely leave the villa and receive an onslaught of hate from viewers.
He also stated that he is not trying to reconcile their relationship.
Love Island airs every day on Peacock except Wednesdays.
