Love Island USAseason 7introduced brand-new Bombshell Andreina Santosin a recent episode, buther presence in the villa has exposed a harsh truth about the way the men of the show are responding to womenbeing brought into the villa. ThroughoutLove Island USAseason 7, there have been some interesting reactions to the Bombshells entering the villa. While all of them have been met with support, many of the Bombshells onLove Island USAhave been unable to break up the existing couples to find connections of their own. Andreina’s entrance into the villa was somewhat different.
While the women of the villa have also been interested in the male Bombshells being brought in, the way the male Islanders have acted about Andreina has been tough for fans to watch. Andreina, a gorgeous and proud Latina, has been chatting with all of the guys, buttheir reaction to her being Latina has been underwhelming. Withu/Delicious-Rip-2371on Reddit sharing they were"turned off"by the guys talking"about Andreina being their type because she’s Latina,“many agreed in the conversation.“It felt very fetishy,” u/LimoncelloLilacagreed, withu/flutterby010explaining,“they are definitely fetishizing it and it’s gross.”

While Andreina has been open to the connections she’s finding onLove Island USA, it’s clear that she was doing her best to get to know everyone when she encountered theLove Island USAseason 7 cast’s meneroticizing her. Jeremiah Brown, who Andreina quickly had a connection with, shared that he was interested in Latinas, butmany pointed out that the way Jeremiah talked about favoring Latina women was an issue all its own.

While looking at each of the cast members in a more sexualized lens is common,Andreina was viewed in a very specific waythat caused viewers to feel uncomfortable, especially when it came to Jeremiah’s take on her body. Rather than getting to know her as a person, many of the guys viewed her as a physical entity.
