Love Island USAseason 7’s first eliminated Islander Belle-A Walker wasn’t able to make a long-term connection in the villa, butshe’s spilling everything about Nic Vansteenberghe’s red flags after he chose Cierra Ortega over her. While Belle-A and Nic were one of the first pairs to connect in the initial coupling ofLove Island USAseason 7, things took a turn when Bombshell Cierra came into the mix. Nic, who had been patient with Belle-A, found himself torn between the women. Ultimately, he chose Cierra over Belle-A, but things weren’t as cut and dry as they seemed on camera.
According to Belle-A (viaUS Weekly),there was a lot that wasn’t shown during her time with Nic in the villa. Belle-A shared that Nic"absolutely did make it seem like he might have picked me that night"when he chose Cierra instead, explaining that she"definitely called him out"about being stuck between herself and Cierra. Belle-A also shared that she felt this wasn’t a first for Nic, who’s allegedly been in an open relationship before.Belle-A also revealed that she had an unseen connection with Taylor Williams, sharing they had"this undeniable chemistry"she would’ve liked to explore.
What Belle-A Insinuating Nic Misled Her Means For Love Island USA
It’s All Part Of The Show’s Conceit
AlthoughBelle-A may have fallen shortduring the week she was in theLove Island USAvilla, she does feel that Nic misled her about their relationship fairly consistently,which led to her feeling more confident in their connection than she would’ve been otherwise. Explaining that Nic had serious conversations with her about moving forward, Belle-A felt more confident in her connection than she should’ve, considering that Nic chose Cierra instead. While Nic was likely struggling in his decision, being clear with Belle-A would’ve been helpful for her throughout theLove Island USAexperience, rather than leaving her in confusion.
WithNic also having been deceitful with Cierra, withholding information about his relationship with Belle-A until it was revealed that Cierra already knew, Nic’s true colors have been revealed. While he claims that he’s trying to be his most authentic self, Belle-A’s confessions make it clear that he may simply be trying to recreate that open-style relationship he’s had in the past. Knowing Nic’s been able to keep things from Belle-A and Cierra, it’s possible he could keep things from others in the villa, as well. Moving forward,the Islanders who attempt to connect with Nic need to be careful.
