Love Island USA stars defend Leah Kateb after Kaylor Martin’s friend trash-talks her

Love Island USA contestants Serena Page and JaNa Craig are standing up for their friend Leah Kateb after a viral social media clip showed a friend of castmate Kaylor Martin trash-talking her.

“Y’all know I don’t play about Leah and I don’t know if it’s because she’s blown up and it’s like, oh now we have all these things to say,” Page, 24, who won Season 6 alongside partner Kordell Beckham, says in an exclusive interview with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea.” 

Regardless of what was said about Kateb, the media planner insists she doesn’t “give a s—t” about Martin’s friend having a negative view of her villa best friend.

After Sunday night’s finale, Martin’s boyfriend, Aaron Evans, whom she met on the Peacock reality series, posted on his Instagram Story, inviting fans to ask them questions.

However, sharp-eared netizens detected a voice in the background disparaging Kateb, prompting speculation about her current relationship with Martin.

“Nobody’s going to give a f—k about Leah in six months,” says the mystery individual, seemingly during a phone call with Martin. 

Martin isn't heard participating in the disparagement, but she also doesn't make an effort to stop it immediately. In response, she says, “She’s gonna get a s—t ton…”

The video cuts off the rest of her sentence, but many fans speculate she was predicting that Kateb, who is arguably the most popular "Islander" this season, will attract numerous sponsorships due to her substantial Instagram following. Currently, Kateb has 1.7 million followers, while Martin has accumulated 311,000.
