“Love Island USA” stars Chelley Bissainthe and Olandria Carthen are out of the villa and are surprised by some of the comments made during their season. 

The two stars recently sat down with Keke Palmer and weighed in on being labeled as “mean girls,” with Carthen expressing the need to feel like she has to “tone down” who she is while filming. 

“It’s very exhausting to say the least,” she began to share with the A-lister. 

“I truly feel like me and Chelley have to tone down a lot to not cross over that boundary.” She continued, “Because a person that looks the opposite of us, as soon as they get emotional, it’s like, ‘Oh, we're going to cater to this person.’ Like, bro, what about us?”

Bissainthe chimed in, sharing how fans truly don’t know them.

“To know how your fellow Islanders feel versus coming to the internet and seeing ‘mean girl,’ ‘disrespectful,’ ‘angry,’ this and that, I’m like, ‘Wow, y’all really don’t know us,” she explained. 

“If it was somebody else that [didn’t] look like us and acted like whatever, they wouldn’t be getting as much backlash at all,” Carthen also shared. 

Palmer opened up about her own experiences.

“Just because I’m saying something sternly, it doesn’t mean you need to be afraid of me,” the “Nope” star shared.  

“That’s rooted in something that’s anti-Black, and it becomes an issue because now I don’t know how to exist in who I am because I can’t take my skin off.”
