Love Island USA bombshell Kayda Bosse is facing backlash after resurfaced videos from her high school years circulated on social media, showing her slapping a friend and making body-shaming comments. The 22-year-old from Manchester, New Hampshire, entered Season 8 as a bombshell contestant but quickly became the subject of online scrutiny when the old clips emerged.
In one video, Kayda appears to slap another girl twice while hanging out with a group of teenagers. In another clip, she makes comments about her friend’s appearance, saying, “So, every time you sit up, I was thinking, ‘You look like a fat woman.’ You sit up how a baby sits up.” According to reports, the person who posted the videos also alleged that Kayda “became a bully obsessed with her looks.”
The videos, which appear to be from when Kayda was around 18 years old, were originally posted with additional allegations but have since been removed. However, screen recordings spread across Reddit and social media platforms, sparking heated debate among Love Island USA fans. Some viewers expressed concern about the behavior shown in the clips, while others defended Kayda, arguing that everyone has moments from their past they aren’t proud of.

Former classmates shared mixed accounts online, with some claiming Kayda bullied them in high school and others noting that high school was only a few years ago. However, a coworker defended her, stating, “She’s been my coworker for 5 years and everyone at work loves her.” The controversy comes as the show has already dealt with another cast member being removed; Vasana Montgomery was pulled from the villa after videos surfaced showing her using a racial slur.
