Former Bethlehem cop Sean Reifel is heading to Love Island USA Season 8, and Easton’s mayor is not amused. Mom jumped into the comments to set the record straight.
Sean Reifel resigned from the Bethlehem Police Department to join Peacock’s Love Island USA. Officials confirmed he left before filming began in Fiji, leaving the force short-staffed. Easton Mayor J. William Reynolds called out the move, noting taxpayer dollars spent on training. “I never thought I’d see the day in America where reality show participation wins out over being a police officer,” he said. Reifel’s mom @beth.bow819 fired back in The Shade Room comments, clarifying he arrived with four years as a Contra Costa County sheriff's deputy and that some facts were missing. Fans mostly sided with the ex-cop, joking the department should have approved his PTO. The villa drama is already delivering off-screen.
