Ariana Madix Hits Back at Body-Shamer on Love Island USA
Ariana Madix, the 38-year-old host of “Love Island USA,” recently made a stunning entrance at the villa, setting social media on fire. Dressed in a semi-sheer black bodysuit with a plunging neckline by LaQuan Smith, paired with a vintage ruffled robe, Madix captivated viewers with her bold fashion choice. She completed her look with Simon G and Gemma Azzuro jewelry, strappy black Steve Madden heels, and her signature flowing blonde hair.
When Madix posted a slow-motion video of her entrance on Instagram, fans flooded the comments with praise, using shocked GIFs and fire emojis to express their admiration. “This show is about how hot Ariana is, like I don’t even know who else is on it,” one fan quipped, capturing the sentiment of many. Another fan humorously noted, “Tom Sandoval is punching the air right now,” referencing Madix’s ex-boyfriend.
However, not all comments were positive. Some trolls targeted Madix’s physique, with one commenter suggesting she needed to “work on her legs.” Madix, known for her assertive responses, fired back, “I work on my sexy ass legs almost every day. I’d snap your neck with my thighs but I’ll never let you close enough to touch me.” Another critic received a similarly sharp retort when they suggested she “should exercise those legs.” Madix responded, “Disrespectfully, have you seen yourself?”
Despite the negativity, Madix’s fashion choices on “Love Island USA” have been a hit. For the season premiere, she stunned in a wet-look metallic Di Pesta gown, embodying mermaid vibes with her wavy hair. Fans eagerly anticipate each episode, not just for the drama but to see what Ariana will wear next. “At this point, I just tune in to see what Ariana wears next!!! Baybee she never misses,” gushed one admirer.
Madix’s journey on “Love Island USA” has been a significant one. She took over the hosting gig from Sarah Hyland for Season 6, a move that was confirmed after Hyland announced her departure due to a scheduling conflict with another project. Madix’s debut on the show was marked by her bold fashion choices and her confident demeanor, making her a standout host.
Madix’s appearance on “Love Island USA” is not her first foray into reality TV. She previously made a cameo during Season 5 of the show, hosting a round of her favorite game, “Mr. and Mrs.” Her love for “Love Island” was evident during Season 10 of “Vanderpump Rules,” where she argued with her ex, Tom Sandoval, about watching the show together.
In addition to her hosting duties, Madix has been busy with other projects. She competed in Season 32 of “Dancing with the Stars” and is currently starring in “Chicago” on Broadway. Her schedule is packed, but she continues to make time for her passion for reality TV and fashion.
Madix’s bold fashion choices and her no-nonsense attitude have made her a fan favorite on “Love Island USA.” Her ability to handle criticism with grace and assertiveness has only added to her appeal. As the season progresses, fans can expect more stunning looks and memorable moments from the reality TV star.
New episodes of “Love Island USA” air at 9 p.m. ET every day except Wednesday until the season finale. Fans are eagerly tuning in, not just for the drama and romance, but to see what Ariana Madix will wear next and how she will continue to captivate audiences with her style and confidence.
