Huda Mustafa later revealed the real reason she refused to speak about Louis Russell.
Hours after the reunion aired, Mustafa took to her TikTok stories to reveal the real reason she didn’t speak about her dynamic with Russell on the Love Island USA Season 7 reunion.
“I prefer to share details about my relationships on my own terms, not for a TV show it has nothing to do with,” she wrote. “Repeated pressure to open up, especially when it’s excessive, makes me uncomfortable. I’d appreciate if that could be respected. But you’ll edit out the amount of times you asked and tried making others answer for me.”
