What started as a standard Love Island breakup has erupted into a scorched-earth war of words, with the islanders turning on one of their own.
Season 6 sweetheart JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez may have seemed like a fan-favorite couple just days ago, but the reality of their split has sent shockwaves through the Love Island USA community, and now Craig’s inner circle is dragging Rodriguez through the dirt.
The situation turned explosive after Kenny released a carefully worded breakup statement via Instagram Stories, prompting not only a furious public response from JaNa herself, but a blistering takedown from her castmates Liv Walker and Leah Kateb.
The Breakup Heard Around the Villa
TMZ was the first to confirm that JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez officially split over the weekend. According to the outlet, the breakup occurred early Sunday morning, with sources claiming Craig was the one who ended things.
While no concrete cause was revealed initially, fans noticed signs of trouble almost immediately. The couple unfollowed each other, removed names from bios, and their mutual friends began dropping Kenny like dead weight.
Speculation swirled across social media, but JaNa didn’t let the gossip linger for long. On Tuesday, she broke her silence.
“Hi my loves, thank you for all your love & support. It means the world to me,” Craig began in a now-viral Instagram story. “Please know that I have seen all the breakup theories and none have matched up to how terrible, disgusting and disappointing it truly is. Discovering that someone you loved isn’t who you thought they were and that the relationship you thought you were building hasn’t been genuine since day one has been truly devastating. Thank you for respecting my privacy and please know as a child of God, I will always be okay.”
That message, raw, spiritual, and scathing, immediately turned the tide against Kenny, who attempted damage control shortly after with his own post.
Kenny Tries to Play It Cool…
Rodriguez shared his version of events, positioning himself as the mature party and casting the breakup in a neutral light.
“The past few days have been incredibly difficult. I’ve been quietly sitting with a lot of emotions and doing my best to process everything privately,” he wrote. “Breakups are never easy, especially in the public eye… I’ll always be grateful for the time we shared and the memories we created.”
But Craig wasn’t buying it, and she didn’t hesitate to call him out.
“@kennyrodriguez stfu you manipulative liar,” she fired back in a separate Story. “You not taking accountability and telling people the type of person you really are is insane to me!! My first statement was me being nice. Do not piss me off.”
Craig’s rage was not a solo effort. It came with backup. And when the Love Island girls ride, they ride together.
Liv and Leah Launch a Full-Scale Smackdown
Enter Love Island USA alumni Liv Walker and Leah Kateb, two-thirds of the fan-favorite “Powerpuff Girls” trio, along with Craig herself. If Kenny was hoping to emerge unscathed, that fantasy went up in flames the moment Liv logged on.
“Your pathetic excuse for a story is laughable,” Liv blasted. “I can’t even put into words how good of a person naynay is and how hard it is watch her go through something like this. @kennyrodriguez! Hope this gives you the clout you always wanted you f***ing loser.”
And then Leah chimed in, and it got even worse for Kenny.
“@kennyrodriguez Put a sock in it ChatGPT headass. Tell the truth for once! Racist, clout/money hungry and a scammer since DAY 1!!!! Tryna make it seem like it’s something it’s not. Dw, our Nay is blessed & highly favored.”
Yes, you read that right. The accusations hurled at Kenny included racism, greed, and manipulation. And neither Liv nor Leah appear to be walking those comments back.
