Love Island USA season 7 continued with more fallout from the Casa Amor twist in the episode that aired on June 27, 2025. The episode ended with Vanna Einerson being dumped from the villa, following a short-lived connection with TJ Palma. While the in-villa drama played out on screen, a separate conversation was taking place online about Vanna’s appearance, which drew criticism from some viewers.Amid this backlash, Vanna’s close friend Lulu Clawson posted a TikTok on Wednesday, June 25, in support of her. Lulu addressed the negative comments Vanna had been receiving about her face and style, defending her character and confidence. She said Vanna genuinely embraces her appearance and supports others to do the same.“She’s so nice to every single person she meets. She’s so genuine, she’s so confident, she loves herself, she loves her style, she loves her appearance and she loves everybody else’s as well,” Lulu said.Online criticism included remarks questioning whether Vanna looked older than 21, with some viewers speculating about cosmetic procedures. Vanna, who entered during Casa Amor and coupled with Ace Greene before switching to TJ, has not publicly responded to the chatter, as contestants do not have access to their phones while filming.Vanna's best friend defends her amid backlash against her appearance on Love Island USA View this post on Instagram Instagram PostOn June 25, Lulu Clawson posted a TikTok video defending her close friend Vanna Einerson after online backlash about her appearance.
