Miguel Harichi, best known for his time on Love Island USA, has spoken publicly for the first time about his apparent fallout with fellow cast member Louis Russell, amid growing speculation involving his girlfriend, Leah Kateb.
In a detailed Instagram post shared Saturday, Harichi expressed disappointment with individuals he once considered friends, criticizing them for fueling online negativity about his relationship. Without naming anyone directly, he called out those allowing social media to drag Leah’s name into drama and made it clear that both he and Leah want no part in it.
The speculation intensified after Leah unfollowed Louis on social media earlier this week. Many fans linked the move to Louis’s rumored relationship with Huda Mustafa, who was recently spotted with him at the Weapons movie premiere. However, Harichi clarified that the unfollow had nothing to do with any alleged romance.
The speculation was fueled even more after photos from the event went public, but Miguel emphasized that whatever Louis and Huda may have going on, he has no interest in being involved. “Leave Leah out of it,” he wrote, underscoring his desire to keep their relationship separate from ongoing online narratives.
Ultimately, Harichi confirmed that he is cutting ties with Louis Russell and reaffirmed his loyalty to Leah. He concluded by saying that reality TV drama like this belongs online, not in their personal lives.
Harichi’s statement highlights how post-show dynamics between Love Island USA cast members continue to unfold under the watchful eye of fans—and how navigating real-life relationships remains a challenge long after the cameras stop rolling.
