Social Media Users Share Mixed Reactions To 'Love Island' Contestant's Friend Defending Her Looks

A new "Love Island" bombshell, Vanna Einerson, has been stirring up a lot of conversation online over her looks since she appeared on the show in a recent episode.

However, her friend, Lulu Clawson, is not taking the comments about Einerson's appearance lightly.

In fact, Clawson recently posted a lengthy video on TikTok defending Einerson and calling out "Love Island" viewers and the photo-editing company FaceTune for "bullying" the 21-year-old reality star.

“Vanna is one of my favorite people,” Clawson said on TikTok, first reported by Us Weekly. “She’s so nice to every single person she meets. She’s so genuine, she’s so confident, she loves herself, she loves her style, she loves her appearance and she loves everybody else’s as well.”

Clawson added that Einerson would "never" poke fun at someone else's looks, calling her "the least judgmental person."

“She’s the girl who, [when] you go to her house, she’s helping you with your outfit,” Clawson explained, boasting about how" thoughtful” Einerson is.

As she continued, Clawson admitted that watching her friend get "dragged on the internet" has been difficult for her.

She called out not only some of the show's viewers for their negative comments but also the popular photo-editing app, FaceTune, for poking fun at Einerson in a video of their own.

“If someone is confident and loves themselves, then let them,” said Clawson. “It doesn’t matter if you think they shouldn’t look like that.”

In the comment section of Clawson's TikTok video, a few social media users praised her for defending her friend. For example, one user wrote, "She's lucky to have a friend like you!!" while another said, "Vanna is the best. So so so kind and genuine. The internet is horrible. Girls need to support girls."

However, several other users questioned how good a friend Clawson really is to Einerson. One particularly pointed comment read, "I get it, but where were you guys when she was overfilling her face? True friends would tell her to stop."

On X, formerly Twitter, many "Love Island" viewers shared similar comments about Einerson's appearance. One user on the platform opined, "Vanna being only 21 years old and having all that work done to her face is so sad." That same user continued, "She didn't even give her adult features a chance."

Meanwhile, Ariana Madix, host of "Love Island," relayed a message of her own during a recent episode of "Aftersun."

"Don't be contacting people's families. Don't be doxing people. Don't be going on islanders' pages and saying rude things," she said in support of the season 7 cast.

"You still have time to delete all of that, because the islanders don't have their phones," the former "Vanderpump Rules" star added. "So we're giving you a chance. Because this is a fun, amazing, beautiful show, and we should be thanking each one of these islanders every single day for giving us themselves. Be nice. Please be nice, or I'll come find you."

Noah Sheline, ex-boyfriend of current islander Huda Mustafa, posted a similar message on his TikTok, reminding people that Mustafa is "human."

"Her going on that show to find love, or whatever you think it was she's doing, remember she's still human, she has a daughter, and a life," he said.

On June 24, "Love Island" producers issued multiple warnings before and during the episode about the dangers of cyberbullying and the importance of spreading positivity online.

"We appreciate the fans, the passion for the series, and the amazing group of Islanders who are sharing their summer with us," the show's post on social media began. "Please just remember they're real people, so let's be kind and spread the love."

And their message didn't end there.

During the episode, another message read: "THE KEYWORD IN LOVE ISLAND IS...LOVE."

It continued, "WE LOVE OUR FANS. WE LOVE OUR ISLANDERS, WE DON'T LOVE CYBERBULLYING, HARASSMENT, OR HATE."
