Lucinda Strafford’s Racy Bikini Pic Triggers Harsh Comments

“Love Island” alum Lucinda Strafford dialed the heat up in a racy white bikini that got her Instagram comments buzzing with both criticism and admiration.

She shared the post in mid-September to announce her return to the “Love Island” universe, specifically “Love Island Games” Season 2. But while she tackled challenges in Fiji, fans flooded her post with harsh comments.

The single image post shared on September 16 featured Lucinda Strafford posing on a beach. She wore a white bandeau bikini and matching bottoms. It looked like she had been in the water, because wet sand clung to her thighs.

She accessorized simply with a floral pendant necklace and bracelets. Her makeup was soft and glowing, giving the photo a dreamy, ethereal aesthetic.

An enchanted fan commented, “Wow, unreal,” while another added, “You look so beautiful.”

The positive comments were quickly drowned out by criticism from “Love Island Games” viewers.

One user labeled her a “mean girl.” Another questioned why Strafford was “so male-centered.” Many fans called her a “pick me,” while one asked her to “go lighter on the lip filler.” Another user repeatedly wrote, “Yeah, we don’t like you,” to ensure the message sticks. Someone else accused Strafford of being a “nasty woman towards black girls.”

On “Love Island Games,” Lucinda Strafford was accused of trying to drive a wedge between the couple Kendall Washington and Garbi Denteh and for speaking negatively about Denteh.

She was also called out for not being a “girl’s girl,” especially after sharing comments fellow castmate Justine Ndiba made during a girls’ pep talk with the boys.

Despite the criticism, Lucinda Strafford ended up winning “Love Island Games” Season 2 alongside Isaiah Campbell.

On October 6, a day after the finale, Strafford posted a TikTok with Denteh, doing the viral Nicki Minaj’s “Beez In The Trap” challenge. They claimed they were “edited to be rivals” in the show, but were cool the whole time. However, fans didn’t buy it.

Weeks after filming wrapped, Lucinda Strafford vacationed in Hawaii and shared a dreamy Instagram dump of her time there.

The carousel included multiple bikini looks, including a floral set in the first slide, a peach bikini in the second, pink in later slides, as well as shots in an aircraft. Fans were kinder this time, dropping comments like “Insane face card,” and “the most perfect girl.”

For Halloween, Lucinda Strafford channeled her “inner showgirl,” choosing a Taylor Swift-inspired look from “The Life Of A Showgirl” album.

She wore a crystal-embellished bralette with nude trims, a boned corset, pink ruffled shorts, and sheer black fishnets. The star of the show was a towering white feather headdress attached to a sparkling crystal tiara.

The costume was jewelry-heavy, featuring massive chandelier earrings, a statement necklace nestled in her décolletage, and stacked crystal bracelets. Strafford left fans speechless with the look. Many could only manage one-word comments like “wow,” “obsessed,” and “stunning.”
