Olandria Carthen and Nic Vansteenberghe, fan-favorites from Love Island USA Season 7, have ended their relationship after one year due to distance and busy schedules, but they remain close friends who support one another. Since leaving the villa, Olandria has expanded her profile through fashion, beauty and major brand partnerships, including a recent MAC Cosmetics campaign with Painted By Esther.
But the scrutiny has escalated. On Thursday, DeuxMoi published an unverified anonymous submission alleging that Olandria had “BEEN hooking up with Travis Scott.” The same submission also described her relationship with Nic as a “PR relationship,” without providing evidence for either claim. Olandria did not let the rumor stand. In a since-deleted comment, she wrote: “I hope you have your lawyers ready bc I have mine.”

The reaction to Olandria Carthen’s breakup has been revealing. Some fans have shown genuine support, but others are invested in a narrative designed to undermine a woman who has built her own career.
The rumors, especially those involving Travis Scott, feel like an attempt to reduce an ambitious, professional woman to tabloid gossip. The framing appears designed to turn Olandria’s private life into a salacious narrative, following a familiar pattern in the coverage of successful women.
It is telling how quickly people rush to predict a woman’s failure. The misogyny is thinly veiled. A woman known for intelligence and self-respect is being reduced to scandal, with some eagerly awaiting her fall.
But critics are missing the point. This will not stop Olandria or her supporters. If anything, it has strengthened her supporters’ resolve. She has shown she can turn energy against her into momentum. The mockery says more about those dishing it out. She has always encouraged her audience to prioritize themselves, even when it makes others uncomfortable. Those celebrating now may find themselves watching from the sidelines as she continues to rise.
