Huda Mustafa, known for her time on Love Island USA Season 7, is facing major backlash after a recent livestream in which she laughed following a racial slur directed at co-star Olandria Carthen  who is also part of this season’s cast.The incident quickly went viral, sparking outrage among fans and viewers.

Huda Mustafa first collaborated with Huda Beauty earlier this year, launching a limited-edition makeup collection that highlighted her favorite products from the brand. The partnership was celebrated by fans, marking a high-profile moment for Mustafa as she leveraged her reality TV fame into the beauty world. However, that partnership has now come to an abrupt end following the livestream incident.

In the wake of the controversy, Huda Beauty officially ended its partnership with Mustafa. The brand stated that her actions “do not align with our values” and noted that the livestream caused hurt and offense within their community. Related content featuring Mustafa has since been removed from Huda Beauty’s social media channels and promotional materials.

Mustafa addressed the incident on Instagram, explaining that she and her partner didn’t fully hear the slur at first and that her laughter was an awkward, nervous reaction. She later issued a direct apology to Olandria, emphasizing that she does not condone racism or hateful language.

The fallout has sparked conversations about the responsibilities of reality TV stars, especially in live or unscripted moments, and the scrutiny that comes with viral incidents. For Mustafa, the termination of the Huda Beauty partnership marks a significant professional setback just as she was gaining momentum following her appearance on Love Island USA Season 7, which has been praised for its diverse cast and dramatic twists.

Fans continue to debate the incident, with some accepting her apology and others arguing the reaction was inexcusable.
