Kendall Washington was an original islander who lasted until the Love Island USA season 6 finale after he re-coupled with Nicole Jacky earlier in the season. The couple placed fourth overall after the winners Kordell and Serena. There’s been a lot of off-screen drama with the contestant, as his alleged ex claimed that he broke up with her to get on the show, but this incident might have crossed the line.

In an Instagram story, the Love Island contestant wrote, “What a way to get my phone back y’all. just want to address the content that came out from my past. That was something I shared to someone in confidence and trust.”

He continued, “It’s unfortunate that it’s no longer private, but it is what it is. I want to thank you all for the calls/texts to support me during this time. I am so grateful for my Love Island experience and I love you all for tuning in to watch my journey.”

Kendall’s sister Taylor, who appeared on the show supporting her brother, called out the leak and said that Love Island producers need to provide a support system after the show is over. In an Instagram story with screenshots of fan’s reactions, Taylor wrote, “I do not have the capacity to respond to everyone individually but I appreciate everyone reaching out concerned about Kendall’s mental health. I am too.”

She tagged the Love Island USA Instagram account and further wrote, “I really hope y’all have serious mental health resources in place for him so he doesn’t come back from the high of this experience to seeing he’s been unfairly exposed on top of general reality TV backlash. If y’all have a history of suicide from people being on your show. I’d really hope you all get a handle on this expeditiously.” She said that she reached out to a couple of contacts on the show, but hopes “I hear back from someone.”

She concluded the post, “Private lives should remain private. The weight of this [is] too much for anyone and my heart aches for him immensely.” In the following story, she shared a link to report the content on the platform.

Fans went online to condemn the sharing of the explicit posts. “i really hope Kendall has a STRONG support system rallying behind him because coming back to having your shit leaked like that is awful and people have been known to take their own lives from love island fan bullying… you guys don’t actually know these people, it’s weird,” one user wrote. Another wrote, “why are people leaking kendall. I know we don’t like him and I know he’s a weirdo but that doesn’t mean that he deserves this video of him being leaked. it’s very unfortunate that the love island community has people like this. absolutely unacceptable behavior.”
