Oh honey, the tea is piping hot on Huda Mustafa's latest chat with TMZ! The 'Love Island' alum spilled some heartfelt vibes while thanking her ride-or-die fans for sticking around through the mess of last year's racial slur drama. Picture this: TMZ caught up with her on Thursday at the Runway 7 fashion show in Sony Hall, NYC, where she gushed about not forgetting the love poured her way after the whole fiasco.
You'll recall the controversy kicked off during a livestream with her boyfriend, Louis Russell, when a caller dropped the N-word and Huda laughed—later explaining she was totally caught off guard. She issued an apology at the time, and now? It's all about growth. 'It's clear the whole ordeal turned into a major learning moment for her,' TMZ reports, with Huda telling them she's 'grateful fans rode with her through the highs and lows.' Her love for those supporters? Deep, y'all—she even says you can hear the sincerity in her voice from the clip.
And because we're nosy, she dropped an update on her 'Love Island' castmates too, keeping things connected in that reality TV world. No messy shade here, just straight appreciation for the loyalty that kept her floating. Is this the glow-up we needed after the scandal? Absolutely iconic resilience. 💅
