Season 7 of Love Island USA is getting steamy! One contestant, Belle-A Walker, stood out from the rest. On the first night, the ladies were allowed to kiss two men. Belle-A opted for a peck on the cheek before coupling up with Nic Vansteenberghe. Unfortunately, Belle-A was sent home during the first re-coupling when Nic picked bombshell Cierra Ortega over her. Everyone in the villa was sad to see Belle-A go home.
Love Island USA star Belle-A worried she’d be called a “prude”
Belle-A worried about what fans would think about her as she sought to stay true to herself. “They pulled the most basic surface-level of things that I said in that entire villa and put those conversations out there. I was afraid that that’s exactly how they would view me as just this boring surface-level person who’s a prude and doesn’t take chances or take risks,” Belle-A told DECIDER. “And that’s not who I am at all.” Belle-A proved that in the baseball challenge by making out with four guys, including Nic.
So, after Cierra stole Nic for a night in the hideaway, Belle-A didn’t give up on him. “I feel like it’s human nature to want what you can’t have. And I knew that my strongest connection in that villa was still Nic,” Belle-A said. “I started the journey with him and a big part of me wanted to see it through.”
Then Belle-A shared her final conversation with Nic. “That night, I was his last conversation right before the recoupling, and the last thing he told me was, ‘Belle-A, I don’t want you worrying. You don’t have anything to worry about.'” I guess Nic lied to her face while also playing Cierra.
She continued, “Boom! Sent me packing my bags! So yeah, I was very shocked. I knew that he could have gone either way.” Belle-A added, “But at the same time, he gave me so much high hope in us and him finally choosing me? It was just so confusing, you know?”
There is an online petition to bring Belle-A back, and she is down for a future opportunity in the villa. As for being a bombshell? Belle-A is ready! “Put me back in, coach. I got the game down, I found new confidence, I found my voice. I am ready,” she said.
Love Island USA is available to stream on Peacock.
