Her post-show life has been a whirlwind of new romance, brand deals, and significant public controversy.

The Post-Villa Controversy That Cost Her a Major Deal

One of the most significant and recent developments in Huda Mustafa's life is the fallout from a highly-publicized incident involving a racial slur. This controversy has become the defining story of her post-Love Island career and is a critical piece of news for anyone following the star.

The TikTok Livestream Incident and Backlash

The scandal began during a joint TikTok livestream featuring Huda Mustafa and her now-boyfriend, Louis Russell. During the stream, a fan called in and directed a racial slur at fellow reality star Olandria Carthen. Huda’s reaction—specifically, laughing at the comment—triggered immediate and widespread backlash across social media platforms.

Critics argued that her response was inappropriate and showed a lack of empathy, leading to the hashtag #CancelHuda trending globally.

Dropped by Huda Beauty: The Brand Fallout

The most shocking consequence of the incident was the swift termination of her brand partnership with the global cosmetics powerhouse, Huda Beauty. Despite the similar names, the brand is owned by the unrelated Huda Kattan. The partnership had only been announced a month and a half prior to the controversy.

Huda Beauty released a public statement on October 31, 2025, expressing their "disappointment" and emphasizing that the reality star's actions "do not reflect its values." This move by the beauty giant sent a clear message about the zero-tolerance policy for such behavior in the influencer space, highlighting the severe professional cost of public missteps.

Huda's Response and NAACP Donation

Following the intense public pressure, Huda Mustafa issued an apology, acknowledging the gravity of her actions. To demonstrate her sincerity and commitment to learning from the mistake, she reportedly made a donation to the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). While some fans accepted the apology, others felt it was "too little, too late," underscoring the deep division the incident caused among her followers.

A New Power Couple: Huda and Louis Russell

Away from the controversy, Huda Mustafa has found love in a surprising crossover with another major reality TV star. Her relationship with Louis Russell has become a hot topic, solidifying her status as a fixture in the reality TV world.

From Red Carpet Rumors to Instagram Official

Rumors of a romance between Huda Mustafa and Louis Russell, known for his appearances on Netflix's Too Hot to Handle and Perfect Match, began circulating in early August 2025. The pair first sparked speculation when they attended the L.A. premiere of the movie Weapons, posing on the red carpet together and holding hands.

The relationship was officially confirmed on September 21, 2025, when both stars posted on Instagram, making their coupling "Instagram Official." This union instantly created a new reality TV "power couple," combining fan bases from two of the biggest streaming dating franchises: Love Island USA and the Netflix reality universe.

Louis Russell's Background

Louis Russell’s own reality TV journey has been extensive. He first gained fame on the British version of Too Hot to Handle and later became a fan-favorite on the first season of Perfect Match. His relationship with Huda has been a major talking point, especially as they navigated the recent controversy together during their joint livestreams.

Huda's Legacy: The "Best TV Villain"

During her time on Love Island USA Season 7, Huda Mustafa was repeatedly labeled the "villain" of the season.

Unapologetic Drama and High Ratings

Huda's willingness to challenge other Islanders and her no-holds-barred approach to the game ensured she was constantly at the center of the drama. Her polarizing nature, which included a complicated coupling with Jeremiah, made for compelling television and was credited by many outlets for boosting the season's engagement and water-cooler talk.

She was dubbed "the best reality TV villain we've seen in a while" by major publications, an accolade that speaks to her ability to create captivating, if controversial, content.

Life as a Fitness Influencer and Mother

Before and after her reality TV fame, Huda has maintained a successful career as a fitness influencer and online coach. She uses her platforms to share workout routines, personal life updates, and motivational content. A key part of her personal story is her journey as a young mother. Huda is open about raising her daughter, a fact she revealed early on during her *Love Island* introduction, which added another layer of complexity and relatability to her public persona.

Despite the recent professional setbacks, Huda Mustafa remains one of the most talked-about alums from the Love Island USA franchise. Her ability to generate headlines, whether through new romance, high-stakes controversy, or her continued presence as a fitness personality, ensures her relevance in the ever-evolving world of reality television and social media.
