Love Island: Beyond the Villa: Serena Page, JaNa Craig, and Leah Kateb open up about joining the show and Kordell's absence
During their interview, the host, Brice Sander, asked the popular trio PPG - Power Puff Girls, Serena, JaNa, and Leah, about reuniting on the latest show.
The host mentioned their group was "down one man," meaning Kordell Beckham. He asked Serena Page about Kordell's inability to join the show as a regular cast member. He also noted how Miguel and Kenny were going to be on the show.
Responding to him, Serena said Kordell had been busy with his acting schedule. Hence, she had the idea about how it was possible that he wouldn't be able to be there in Love Island: Beyond the Villa.
Despite her wanting him to "change his mind," Kordell couldn't be a part of the show as a regular cast member. However, she stated, their group, PPG, was going to be together.
Serena said, the rule was that three of them - she, JaNa, and Leah would be together. Listening to Serena, JaNa, and Leah added that they didn't add their men to the contract.
"So, I was like, if they do...I have to, so I wasn't going to back out coz my man wasn't doing it. But, he's still in it (in the show.) He's, you know, showing. I did miss him a lot in certain things where....." added Serena.
As the host mentioned, they also talked about how Kordell Beckham joined Keke Palmer's Southern Fried Rice KeyTV series and was busy with that.
There were some other cast members from Love Island: Beyond the Villa, including Liv Walker, Miguel Harichi, and Connor Newsum, in the interview. When they faced the same question about Korell not joining the show as a regular, Miguel responded that he was "hurt" after learning about that.
"I was super upset," added Miguel.
However he said he understood that Kordell had some projects he had to do and he was busy in that. He recalled how there were times when Kordell joined them and they all enjoyed those times. Connor added that, when Kordell arrived, he "made noise."
They talked about the Miami trip where Kordell also joined the fellow Islanders, and they were all together.
