Love Island USA Season 7 fans furious as Amy Schumer appears on Aftersun following Casa Amor shake-up: 'Turn the TV off'
Love Island USA Season 7: Casa Amor has officially wrapped up in this year's Love Island USA, and the fallout is already hitting hard inside the villa. An intense recoupling led to heartbreak as four islanders were sent home, leaving fans stunned. Now, with new couples trying to find their footing, all eyes are on what happens next. While the season overall has left many viewers disappointed, the backlash only intensified after Aftersun aired on June 28 with commentary that didn't sit well with fans, especially after comedian and actress Amy Schumer featured as a guest.
What is Love Island USA Aftersun?
Love Island USA Aftersun is the official Saturday talk‑show spin‑off to Love Island USA Season 7, exclusively on Peacock. The show brings viewers unaired highlights from the week, interviews with just-dumped Islanders and returning favourites, plus behind-the-scenes insights into villa drama. It's designed to give fans extra context and reactions beyond the nightly episodes.
The episodes include a new guest lineup nearly every week. Most episodes feature a mix of recently eliminated Islanders, who discuss their time in the villa; former contestants, offering deeper insights into the current season; and occasional celebrity superfans or surprise panellists. This week (June 28), Amy Schumer was introduced as the guest, and it has not gone down too well with fans.
Amy Schumer reveals she's rooting for Ace and Chelley
While Amy Schumer's surprise appearance on Aftersun stirred mixed reactions on its own, what really set fans off was her openly rooting for Ace and Chelley. For long-time viewers, that felt like pouring fuel on the fire. In case you missed the earlier episodes, Ace has been one of the most controversial Islanders this season. He originally coupled up with Amaya, only to abruptly drop her for Chelley shortly after Casa Amor. The move left Amaya blindsided and visibly shaken, sparking major backlash online. So when Amy backed a couple that many fans still see as built on betrayal, it didn't exactly land well, and the criticism online only escalated from there.
Fans are not happy with Amy Schumer as the Aftersun guest
Viewers wasted no time sharing their disappointment after Amy Schumer appeared on Love Island USA: Aftersun. Across Reddit and X (formerly Twitter), fans called out Peacock for what many felt was a tone-deaf guest choice, especially considering how rocky the season has already been.
Many fans also felt Amy Schumer's appearance was a major letdown, especially following Megan Thee Stallion's recent cameo on the show. The contrast in star power didn't go unnoticed, with viewers calling it a downgrade.
In a Reddit thread dedicated to the Aftersun episode, one user bluntly said, 'Girl... Amy Schumer? Turn the TV off.' Another chimed in, 'Love Island USA really in their flop era — Amy Schumer commentary on top of the mess this season already is?'
A third added, 'I guess Megan Thee Stallion ate up the guest budget. Now it's Amy Schumer in a wrinkled sleep shirt.'
The backlash wasn't just about her comedic style. One Redditor wrote, 'Aftersun should not be inviting outspoken genocide supporters like Amy Schumer... I turned it off immediately.'
Another commented, 'Ugh, what a mess. Amy Schumer was never that funny and clearly doesn't have good judgement. Chelley and Ace? She seems like the type who roots for walking red flags.'
Over on X, the frustration was just as loud. One viewer posted, 'It's like Love Island wants to lose me. Why am I looking at Amy Schumer on my screen?!??!'

Another vented, 'This is how I know Love Island isn't serious. I finally watched Aftersun to hear what Jeremiah and Hannah have to say, and y'all brought on Amy Schumer? For what? Does she even have fans to bring in viewers?'
This how ik love island not serious. I finally go to watch aftersun for the first time to see what Jeremiah and Hannah got to say and yall telling me Amy schumer is on there? For what? Does she even have supporters to be bringing in viewers?
Love Island USA Season 7 airs every day except Wednesdays on Peacock, keeping fans locked in with nightly drama, new bombshells, and unexpected twists.

Love Island USA Season 7 Episode 24: Release Date, Time, How to Watch, What to Expect and Who's at Risk of Elimination
Love Island USA Season 7 continues to shake things up with unexpected twists and bold eliminations. After a dramatic recoupling, Nic and Olandria were allowed back in the villa following the latest dumping. This move has already sparked discussions among fans who believe it was intended to add more tension and drama to the villa. In the last episode, six islanders faced elimination. The Casa Amor group saved Elan Bibas, while JD Dodard and Zac Weedworth were sent home. Meanwhile, the main island group chose to keep Olandria and Vanna Einerson, sending Coco Watson home. This resulted in four islanders leaving the show all at once. When will Love Island USA Season 7 Episode 24 be released? Love Island USA Season 7 Episode 24 will drop on Sunday, June 29, 2025. Fans in the U.S. can watch it at 6 p.m. PT or 9 p.m. ET. The new episode will continue to follow the aftermath of the latest recoupling and eliminations. The show is available to stream on Peacock, which holds exclusive streaming rights for Love Island USA Season 7. What to expect from episode 24 The next episode will reveal what's next for Nic and Olandria. Before pairing up, Olandria was confident about her bond with Taylor, while Nic felt secure about his connection with Cierra. However, fans think Taylor was never truly interested in Olandria. In a Reddit thread titled This is Amaya protecting Olandria against Clarke, one user wrote, "Taylor never liked Olandria, and it was obvious he was not feeling her or was attracted to her and was waiting for this moment." Another user added, "That's why I'm so upset at Taylor tbh. If Taylor would've honestly had a chat with Olandria about how he wasn't physically attracted to her around the same time he told Ace that, she could've still explored and made other connections." These comments suggest that viewers are dissatisfied with Taylor's handling of the situation, which may lead to further drama in Episode 24. Here's the cast of Love Island USA Season 7 Female Islanders: Chelley Bissainthe Huda Mustafa Olandria Carthen Isabella 'Belle-A' Walker Cierra Ortega Amaya Espinal Iris Kendall Hannah Fields Yulissa Escobar Male Islanders: Ace Greene Austin Shepard Taylor Williams Jeremiah Brown Nicolas 'Nic' Vansteenberghe Jose 'Pepe' Garcia Charlie Georgio Jalen Brown

Diljit Dosanjh Performs With Local Orchestra In Old Clip; Video Emerges Amid Hania Aamir Row
Last Updated: Diljit Dosanjh, now globally recognised, began his career with devotional songs. Amid controversy over his film Sardaar Ji 3, an old performance video has resurfaced. Diljit Dosanjh, now a globally recognised face, started his music career by performing devotional songs. He steadily kick-started his musical journey by releasing albums and gaining popularity through live performances with local orchestras. And before he knew, Diljit had already become a popular name in Punjab. Currently, the Hass Hass singer is at the centre of controversies for starring in Sardaar Ji 3, a film which also stars Pakistani actor Hania Aamir. Amid this, an old video of the singer-actor performing in front of a local audience has resurfaced on the web. Diljit Dosanjh's video dates back to Hambran Mela in 2004, where the singer performed with similar zeal in front of a live audience with a local orchestra group. His fans dug up his throwback stage video that was recorded way before he became a sensation. Take a look: (Source: Jassi TV/Youtube) Diljit's video has resurfaced amid the growing controversy on the release of Sardaar Ji 3 outside of India, including Pakistan. The nation's tension with the country reignited after innocent tourists were killed by Pakistani terrorists at Pahalgam. India has also banned the Instagram accounts of Pakistani artists, and an informal ban has been imposed on their participation in Indian content. Amid this, Diljit romancing Hania in his recent film, which was shot way before things turned sour between the two countries, infuriated the masses. Taking to Reddit, a user wrote, 'I wonder why people goes to his shows". 'Log to bhai Diljit ki peeche h padh gaye yaar," wrote a fan of the singer. A third user backed him and commented, 'The hate for the diljit is unreal. Like you should have appreciated that from this struggling time he has gone to the cochella. He actually has seen struggle compare to the another story with fabricated lies of rags to riches. He is just a scapegoat and people like to hate because he is on top and their favourite is not." Diljit Dosanjh's response to Sardaarji 3 controversy Diljit Dosanjh recently broke his silence on the controversy and Hania Aamir's casting in the film that was done months before the Pahalgam attack in April. Speaking to BBC Asian Network, the singer said that the project was completed before any of the current political tensions surfaced. 'Jab yeh film bani thi tab situation sab theek tha. We shot this in Feb and then everything was fine. Uske baad, bhut saari badi cheezen humare haath mein nahi hai. Toh producers ne decide kiya ki film obviously ab India toh nahi lagegi, toh overseas release karte hain. Toh producers ka bahut paisa laga hua hai aur jab yeh film bann rahi thi tab aisa kuch tha nahi," he said, adding that the makers are aware they will incur losses. 'Now the situation is not in our hands. So if the producers want to release it abroad, I support them." Meanwhile, prominent film bodies have been writing to the makers of Border 2, Diljit Dosanjh's upcoming project, to have him removed. An official confirmation from the makers is awaited.

Why Katrina Kaif Can Give Honest Feedback To Vicky Kaushal But Not Accept His In Return
New Delhi: Vicky Kaushal recently completed 10 years in the film industry. In a candid conversation with Kareena Kapoor Khan who also completed 25 years in the industry, he spoke about how Katrina Kaif always gives him honest feedback about his work. However, she is not okay with him doing the same with her, as the first reaction has to be that of encouragement. What's Happening Vicky Kaushal spoke about how his wife, actress Katrina Kaif is always blunt when it comes to giving feedback about his work. During his interaction with Kareena Kapoor Khan for The Hollywood Reporter, Vicky said, "She is very honest. She will say how it is. But sometimes, she will be a little careful because whatever it is, there is a lot of hard work that has gone into it. You have to be sensitive towards that, and I can't just sometimes she is sensitive about it, but mostly she is straightforward, which I actually love. After a film screening, it is very rare to find that kind of feedback. This was good, this was bad, this you could have done better." When Kareena expressed how she wished that her husband, actor Saif Ali Khan was also open to such positive criticism, Vicky Kaushal interrupted and said that Katrina is the same. He said, "But it's the same over here. She wouldn't want that either. The first step has to be encouragement." How Reddit Reacted The internet was in splits as they reacted to Vicky Kaushal's statement. One social media user shared, "If you're dishing it out, you ought to be able to take it too." Another added, "Lol, Katrina has always been very sensitive about any kind of negative feedback." Someone else was a bit harsh when they wrote, "She's that person in a friend group who can dish out roasts but can't take it themselves and get angry if you say something about them." Work Vicky Kaushal's last release was the blockbuster Chhaava at the beginning of 2025. While Katrina Kaif was last seen in Sriram Raghavan's Merry Christmas with Vijay Sethupathi in 2024. In A Nutshell Social Media had the funniest reaction to Vicky Kaushal revealing that while he gets honest feedback from Katrina about his work, the same can't be done when he has to return the favour.
