Love Island USA contestant Charlie Georgiou has defended his brother Zach against online backlash, stating he does not want support from people who bully his brother. In a series of Threads posts, Charlie criticized the hate directed at Zach, which he said included death wishes and homophobic slurs, and compared it to the mockery of another contestant's Persian name. He also refuted claims that Zach withheld food from his partner Kayda, stating that Zach made her breakfast that morning, though it was not shown. The article notes that Peacock and host Ariana Madix have previously urged viewers to be kind and avoid harassing contestants and their families.
