He gives off this vibe like he’s the composed, respectful one, but the way he handles conflict is dismissive, reactive, and honestly kind of mean-spirited. The problem isn’t just what he does, it’s how he masks it as emotional control, when it’s really just avoidance and deflection. That’s why I think he’s problematic. and of course, saying all of this doesn’t mean that I’m necessarily on Huda’s side (Im not on either side).
you not see the podcast clip? the scene where she was counting down? yeah babe that was her trying to initiate sex knowing they only had 2 hours to sleep and her trying to emotionally guilt trip and coerce him was so she could get freaky w him and they cut that part out for a better edit for her that’s literally so insane and wrong if a man did that he would be kicked off IMMEDIATELY
Let’s be clear, this wasn’t sexual harassment. She didn’t force him, touch him without consent, or ignore a clear no (they didn't have sex or cuddle). Saying she’d be upset isn’t a threat, it’s emotionally reactive, not coercive. It’s important not to water down the definition of sexual harassment by labeling situations like this that way. Doing so takes attention away from real, serious cases and harms actual victims. We can call her behavior emotionally immature without mislabeling it.
If this were a man, he’d be kicked off immediately? That’s just not true. This season alone, it took production three days to remove someone after using a slur. In past seasons, islanders have threatened to stab each other and weren’t removed right away. We’ve seen men get physically aggressive with other men and stay in the villa. The idea that men face immediate consequences while women don’t just doesn’t line up with what’s actually happened on the show.
saying “if not cuddling me is worth me being upset tomorrow, that’s the battle you’re picking” is not the same as coercion or “cuddle me or else” in the serious sense you are trying to frame it as. She didn’t pressure him physically, didn’t override a no, and didn’t force contact. It was an emotionally reactive comment, not a violation of consent. Critique it fairly, but don’t misrepresent what actually happened.
That’s a fair reading emotionally, but it’s still not the same as a threat. It’s not saying “you’ll pay” or that she’ll punish him, just that she’ll be upset. Is it manipulative? Yes, it can be. But people often express emotional needs clumsily, especially in tense situations. Saying “I’ll be upset” isn’t the same as saying “I’ll make you suffer.” There’s a difference between poor communication and actual coercion.
