In a recent interview with Speedy Morman, Ace Greene, a former contestant from Love Island USA Season 7, made significant claims about the relationship between Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen, known as “Nicolandria.” Ace alleged that Nic had confided in him, stating there was no romantic spark between him and Olandria. He further suggested that Nic had returned to another contestant, Cierra Ortega, after coupling with Olandria, casting doubt on the authenticity of Nicolandria’s relationship.
💬 Responses from Nic and Olandria
Following Ace’s interview, both Nic and Olandria addressed the allegations. Olandria appeared to respond indirectly with a now-deleted Twitter post about her successful event at Tuskegee, possibly hinting at her resilience in the face of criticism . Nic, on the other hand, hinted at being affected by the drama through a cryptic Snapchat post, rating his day as a strong start followed by a decline, likely a reference to the tense revelations.

🫥 Tensions with Chelley Bissainthe
Prior to the interview, Olandria and Chelley Bissainthe had been close friends within the villa. However, the fallout from Ace’s claims began to strain their relationship. Chelley, who had been supportive of Nicolandria, found herself caught in the crossfire of the ensuing drama. The tension escalated during the Love Island USA Season 7 reunion, where previously unseen footage revealed deliberations that led to Jeremiah’s elimination. The episode gave closure, raised accountability, and unearthed behind-the-scenes dynamics, making it both dramatic and revealing.
