TMZ has obtained surveillance footage showing Love Island star Huda Mustafa entering the apartment complex of her ex-boyfriend Louis Russell’s baby mama, Nicole Olivera, on February 21, 2026 at approximately 1:30 a.m. The video, released on June 8, shows Huda walking through the property while on her phone, making her way through the complex that became central to a legal battle between the two women.
The footage carries significant weight given what followed. In March 2026, Nicole Olivera filed for a temporary restraining order against Huda, alleging the reality TV star threatened her, her son, and others. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Nicole claimed Huda showed up at her Los Angeles apartment complex during the ongoing drama surrounding Louis, and the newly surfaced surveillance video appears to corroborate that allegation.
A judge granted Olivera a temporary restraining order requiring Huda to stay at least 100 yards away from Olivera, her son, and their home. However, the legal battle took an unexpected turn in early June when both Huda and Nicole failed to appear at a court hearing, prompting the temporary order to dissolve before a judge could rule on the allegations.
The release of the surveillance footage comes amid broader fallout from Huda and Louis’s relationship. The couple broke up in May 2026, according to a joint statement they gave to TMZ. Huda denied wrongdoing when the restraining order was first filed, pushing back on allegations surrounding the case through her social media. The legal fight had grown increasingly contentious, with TMZ obtaining alleged text messages Nicole claimed Huda sent to Louis during their rocky relationship, painting a picture of escalating tension.
Despite the courtroom battle being dismissed, the newly surfaced video is likely to reignite public interest in the saga. When TMZ encountered Huda at the Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards in Los Angeles on Friday, she appeared focused on moving forward, urging the new Love Island USA cast to block out online noise and focus on their mental health while celebrating her budding music career.
