As a new group of bombshells prepares to enter the Villa, Love Island USA is reminding viewers to keep it cool on social media.
On Wednesday, the Peacock reality dating show released a statement on social media asking viewers to “keep it kind, keep it positive” toward the cast as the streaming platform prepares to debut Season 8 of the Ariana Madix-hosted spin-off of the British series on June 2.
“The Villa runs on good vibes, and so does this community,” a spokesperson for the show wrote in the statement. “We love seeing your reactions, opinions, and debates, but everyone deserves to feel safe and respected.”

They added, “This is a space for fun, not negativity – so keep it kind, keep it positive, and remember: this is LOVE Island!”
Last summer, Love Island USA had to remind fans that the contestants are “real people” in another online statement amid Season 7.
On an episode of the weekly chat series Love Island USA: Aftersun, Madix also asked fans to give Islanders grace “before you just hop online and start being absolutely atrocious” to the participants.
After Season 7 became Peacock’s most-watched original season, Love Island USA was renewed for Season 8 in March.
