Love Island USA Season 7 keeps the villa buzzing, but the most intense moment for Casa Amor arrival Vanna Einerson happened after filming wrapped. The Utah‑born golf influencer, 21, spent weeks in Fiji with no phone, unaware that viewers were dissecting her looks in real time.
Once production returned her device, she went online, bracing for feedback and finding a torrent of plastic surgery rumors instead.
“I had a moment where I just broke down crying. I’m honestly so grateful for Coco that she was there because she sat and prayed over me.”
Vanna told Nick Viall on the July 1, 2025 episode of The Viall Files, describing tears in a hotel room as she scrolled through comments. The former Love Island USA contestant said the negativity “gave me new insecurities,” yet she quickly moved to correct false claims about fillers, implants, and even her mother’s role in her cosmetic history.
Love Island USA: What happened to Vanna after she left the villa
During her interview with host Nick Viall, the former Love Island USA Islander said she rang her mother before logging on to Instagram or X. Her mom urged caution,
“Maybe don’t go online until you’re home with me,” she advised, but Vanna opened the apps anyway.
The flood of remarks about alleged cosmetic surgery was immediate. “It was really, really hard seeing all of it,” Vanna told Viall, adding that fellow Casa Amor entrant Coco Watson was in the same hotel room receiving positive feedback while she absorbed the negativity.
“I’m honestly so grateful for Coco that she was there because she sat and prayed over me.”
The comments targeted everything from her cheeks to her chin, lips, breasts, and backside. Responding point‑by‑point, Vanna provided a concise list of procedures she has actually had:
“Most of the things that people thought I got done, like my cheeks and my chin and my lips—lips, duh, I got my lips done. I like my lips. But my cheeks and my chin, [I was] born with it.”
She confirmed one additional procedure—“Of course I got my boobs done”—and categorically denied any Brazilian butt lift. Rumors that her mother performed injections when she was 14 were also false. “She’s never had a job in her life,” Vanna said, explaining that her mother has always been a stay‑at‑home parent.
Vanna explained that her face appeared swollen during Love Island USA because she had an allergic reaction to the feather pillows in the villa, which caused noticeable puffiness each morning. The on‑screen result appeared to confirm filler rumors for some viewers, creating what she called “new insecurities” on top of the old. Nevertheless, she insisted, “I’m OK, I’m very secure in myself.”
The Love Island USA production team has asked fans to temper their reactions. In late June, producers posted a statement on social media:
“Please just remember they’re real people — so let’s be kind and spread the love!”
Vanna’s podcast appearance was the first extensive interview she has given since leaving Love Island USA. She told Viall the negativity “gives you insecurities you never had,” but she also sees an unlikely compliment buried in the criticism: if people assume her bone structure is surgically enhanced,
“You guys are calling me out for things and saying that I have filler in things, but I was born with it.”
