Love Island USA's Casa Girls Mock Kenzie for Liking 'Anyone Who Likes Her'

Love Island USA‘s Casa Amor girls have some strong feelings about Kenzie Annis and her interest in men.

During the Thursday, June 25, episode of the Peacock show, the women in Casa discussed which guys they thought would pair off with them before returning to the villa. They poked fun at Kenzie's possible reaction to Parmida Keshani walking in with Corbin Mims, who is technically still coupled up with Kenzie.

"Kenzie just likes anyone who likes her," Parmida said after the rest of the women made fun of how Kenzie spoke to Corbin.

The Love Island franchise began in the U.K. in 2002 before expanding worldwide with various spinoffs, including Love Island USA. Each season, a new group of singles live in isolation in the show's luxury villa, where they must stay coupled up in order to stand a chance at receiving the $100,000 prize.

The contestants - referred to as Islanders - are under constant video surveillance during filming, leading to plenty of raunchy moments ending up on screen.

Season 8 took the heat to a new level with multiple couples going all the way while sharing a bedroom in the villa. The introduction of Casa Amor only upped the potential for sexy scenes.

Thursday's episode also featured an update on bombshell Alannah Keyser, who was removed from the show after facing backlash for a resurfaced video that allegedly showed her using a racial slur.

The video and other posts were not shared publicly until after Alannah's appearance on the show and thus were not accessible during the vetting process.

Earlier this season, another contestant, Vasana Montgomery, was cut from the show after resurfaced social media posts showed her using a slur. Similar issues arose during season 7 last year, with Yulissa Escobar leaving days into the experience after clips of her using racial slurs on a podcast circulated online.

Cierra Ortega also faced backlash for using a slur in her own resurfaced social media post. She was pulled from the villa and later issued an apology for her past actions.

New episodes of Love Island USA are released six days a week - except for Wednesdays - on Peacock.
