Like, America fell in love with you and you became a fan favorite, like, pretty quickly early on. But did you feel that way in the Villa Amaya?

Girl? I was so. We were all so isolated.

Yeah.

And it really got into the point where I was like, I felt so misunderstood. And I'm like, wait, is there something wrong with me? Like, what am I doing wrong? The real world, when you're feeling like that, you could easily just block someone, but while being there, you have to, like, be around the certain situations.

So do you usually block people?

Yeah, I'm usually. I'm the person who'll be like, okay, you know what? Bye. Peace out. Block.

You're heavy on the block.

I'm heavy on the block, girl. I like, I probably have so many people blocked that I don't even remember why. Maybe they didn't like the way my cat look, and I'm like, you know what? Block?

That's crazy. Okay. Yeah. So sensitive gangster is just someone who's very in touch with their feelings and isn't afraid to emote. Is that the right word? Yeah, yeah. Okay. To just show it. And gangster is just like, okay. These tears, don't let them fool you, baby. I'll cry while still holding my own toes down. Like, I'm still very grounded, but I. I'll probably just be crying in the process of standing up for myself.

That's literally perfect definition. Someone changed that in the dictionary. Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Brooklyn. Shout out to Biggie.

How would you have described yourself as a kid?

I would definitely say I was a kid who would literally just follow people in the park and be like, hi. And then my favorite thing to do in the swings was to make the swings. You know, when you tie the swings up, I'll just be there, like, yeah, it's like, getting so dizzy. But I definitely used to always, like, just. Even if the conversations didn't include me, guess what? I'm inserting myself into a sandwich. Like, hi, Amaya.

I'm obsessed with you. Okay. Who was your celebrity crush growing up?

My celebrity crush growing up? I would definitely say I have a few.

Okay, name them, bitch.

I would definitely say Jacob Elardi. Yes. Especially when he played Nate. I was like, oh, okay.

He was like, I love how you're saying specifically when he played Nate. That's like a little. Do you like a bad boy?

No, no, no. We did not like Nate. We just like how he looked as Nate. We do not stand with Nate. Okay. Oh, my God.

I love the clarification. Okay, what superlative do you think you would have gotten in high school?

What's that?

You know, a superlative is, like, you would have been, like, the class clown. You were made to be famous. You were the most talkative. You would have been known to live in your mom's basement for the rest of your life. You were going to be a professional singer. Like, what do you think people would have labeled you as?

Okay, I would definitely say most talkative. Like, to the point where sometimes the teachers would have to, like, make me sit outside the room. They're like, but shut the up. But God forbid, I'm gonna yap. I'm a yapper.

I love that for you. Okay. What made you want to become a nurse?

So I definitely. Just the caring side. And I'm. I. I'm a big empath. And I also just felt like I want. I definitely do want to take my education more up. Like, I want to go back to school for my PhD so I could eventually become a professor for nursing students. But yeah, I was just like, when it came down to making the decision of what career path I wanted to go, there was no question. I was like, nurs Amaya, cute. And Karen, we.

I'm dying, I would imagine. I think all of us would be so happy if we got you as our nurse. Watching you walk in and smile, like, I thought about that. Like, when do you think you're gonna go back? Are you gonna go back to work?

I definitely do see myself still becoming a nurse. But the thing is, it's like, when my patients. I'm such a big, like, girl. If my patients are crying, I'll probably, like, shed a tear and just be there for them, because you have to Keep in mind that I'm with people on their wor day, like when you're feeling sick. So I want to be the person, the sunshine after a rainy day.

Yeah, I'm obsessed with you. Okay, if you're going out with your girlfriends in New York, what are you doing? What's like your dream? Night out plans, girl.

But yeah, so it definitely will be all of us dressing up in heels, going to a nice restaurant and. And go into a lounge. Like, I love a speakeasy. I love a dynamic like this where we're able to actually hear each other compared to like, girl, what you said, what did he do?

It's so real. You're like, I can't hear one fudgeing thing. You're just nodding, pretending you know what the fuck they're saying. Yeah, okay. What was your longest term relationship?

My longest term was my first boyfriend. We were together for almost four to five years. 16 to 21.

My God, why did it end?

Affairs? No, under, like him being unfaithful. And after a while, like a girl this. There's a reason why my standards are the way they are now because sometimes you have to just go through some. So like, girl. Alexa, this was taken for real. I went through some. Okay, so now I am the who I am now.

It's actually hilarious.

No, seriously, wait. Pulsive diarrhea.

And how after you found like, how did you have the courage to end it? Because I'm assuming you saw like a couple things and then how did you know you needed to put an end.

To it at a certain point when behavior just weren't changing? Yeah, like, and then it started to make me feel like I needed to question myself. And like, am I pretty enough? And like, what is it wrong with me? But babe, there's never nothing wrong with you. You're just with the wrong person. Facts.

What do you think it's like to date you?

Babe, tell me about your day. Like, I want to listen to you and make sure that you feel seen and cared for.

Do you have a type?

You know what? Like, of course. Like, I want to be attracted to someone, but it's the personality that would make me more attracted to someone. So once that personality and I start seeing certain colors, I'm like, where's my exit? Out.

So I thought it would be fun if we made fifteen dollar bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront payment.

[Amaya Papaya]

Of $45 for three month plan equivalent to $15 per month. Required new customer offer for first three months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of taxes and fees extra c mintmobile.com youm need to tell me about the moment that you found out that you were going on Love Island. Who were you with? Where were you? What was your reaction?

So, okay, so basically I was with my mom. I was taking her away for her birthday actually in cruise out. So it was just like a very me mommy and daughter moment. And then I get the phone call and they're like, yeah, so you're definitely coming. And I'm like, what? Like this is insane. My mom didn't even know what Love island was or is, so I was just like, listen, there's some scenes that you might have to turn your head away for, but, girl, I'm excited to, like, do the show, do the whole experience.

Did you apply or did they find you?

So they did find me. Yeah, they sent me a DM. So, yeah, they slid in your DMs. They slid in the DMs and go down in the DM.

We. We. And Amaya, were you a fan of Love Island?

So I never watch a full season.

Okay.

But I feel like once you watch enough TikTok clips, you feel like you know everything that's going on. So I was definitely the one on TikTok. Like, oh, wait, he did what? I was so invested.

Got it. Yeah. I mean, it is like a full commitment to actually watch a full season. You watch, like, 30 something. 40 hours of your life is gone. But it's worth it. Trust me, it was worth it. Okay. Most contestants, I feel like, have their family or their friends take over their social media while they're gone. You had no one in your account. Why?

To be honest, I was just the last thing I thought or cared about. Like, I honestly really did not care, like, for doing that. I was like, you know what? Let me just go and just really indulge in the whole experience. Like, you know, it was just, like, it didn't cross my mind, which makes.

I think a lot of people love you even more because I think they're like, okay, this bitch never was in it for the clout.

Oh, hell to the now. How, like, literally, I was like, once they took my phone away, I'm like, okay, mom, I'm not getting kidnapped.

You're, like, more worried like, mom. So it's called Love island one more time. I'm gonna be over here in Fiji if you need to contact me.

Bye.

Were your friends aware of how big the show is? Like, were they excited for you?

Yeah. So my best friend especially, she was like, girl, oh, my God, this is amazing. But I, like, I also was single for the first time in a very long time, like, for more than a year. And I felt, like, really confident in myself. So it was a good place of solitude and just me being. Being okay by myself. So then that's when I was like, okay, I'm definitely ready to start dating.

You know, It's a pretty good way to start dating again.

Yeah.

Okay. You come into the villa as a motherfucking bombshell.

Grenades, girl. A good grenade.

Let's clarify. Yes, a good grenade, but, like, Amaya, you have to explain to me how the fudge would you hype yourself up right before you walk out and have to, like, make out with all these guys and go into this challenge?

Well, first of all, that is the first time ever done something like that. My, like, Sherry definitely was popped. But, like, seriously, I. It was just self affirmations every day. Like, I was so nervous. I don't know if you guys, like, could tell, but I was like, you got this, you got this, you got this. So, yeah, I was just hyping my own stuff up and just telling myself, do not fall. Do not, like, do anything too crazy, but definitely just go all in.

Are you able to, like, take a shot before you go out or you're dead sober?

Girl, I am sober as hell. Like, I had to do all of that sober with no tequila, no Don Julio agafurio. Like, it was literally just me doing me raw dogging. Raw dogging it. No condoms.

That's why, like, I have so much respect for all of you women in these challenges, because I'm like, oh, my God. I would have to get into a serious fucking place in my head to go twerk on someone and make out with, like, five guys and be dead ass sober.

Seriously.

Okay, how much did the Bombshells get to watch before you go in? Like, were you aware of who was coupled up with who at that point?

So I was able to watch, like, a clip of. Of some scenes, but not the full just of it. And especially since I got on, like, early on in the beginning, I think it was like, day three for me or day four. I only got to see the beginning, so I didn't really see, like, how serious certain dynamics were at the time. Very clueless.

Okay, you come in. Who do you immediately have your eye on?

Jeremiah with his symmetrical face?

Yes.

Such a symmetrical face.

Like, I never thought about it like that.

He really does.

So.

Do you really?

Yes.

Okay. I have a bad ear here that I'm hiding away.

Stop. You literally did your hair today.

I was like, wait, hold on. There's a reason why this. This side is always getting the side that's poop.

That's why we put her in this chair today. We didn't switch because we love her. Left ear, not the right ear. Wait, I'm dead. Okay, so immediately you're attracted to Jeremiah because his symmetrical face.

Yes. I was like, oh, this man is tall. Like, you know, very symmetrical. Very. He was. He's handsome.

I'm dying okay. Did you feel like you were able at all to, like, connect with him in that moment because of how kind of serious like, Huda and Jeremiah were in the beginning?

Yeah. I mean, it was a very good smooch. And I was like, okay, let me see what happens from here on out. Like, I'm like, really down to conversate with him. But we also don't beg. Okay, baby, I'm a jogger, but we don't be chasing for these men out here. So once I, like, I just wanted to see how the conversations would go. And if it was just going left, I would have been like, all right, thank you.

Nick Obsessed. Your first real then connection was with Ace. And that did not last long. That was like, in and out real quick.

And then now burgers outside. No, baby, we were in and then out.

Like, dude, it was so quick. It was like, oh, my God. Why do you think it fell apart so quickly?

You know, Don Reese, Valerie is on, babe. Like, okay. No, but to be fair, to be serious, it's just like, you know, that was. That's the whole point of the experience. The more you conversate with somebody, you see if there's a real connection there. And if you and this person. What is the word? Compliment each other.

Yeah.

Like, compatible.

Yeah.

So it was. It turned out that girl, like, we were just not compatible in a romantic way. We were just.

No. Yeah. It almost felt like not even compatible. It was like he. In the beginning, I think a lot of people on the Internet were like, oh, my God, this man is giving. Like, he really doesn't fuck with you. And it was all off of you just saying, like, calling him babe. Just. Just babe. It really. It did. It did not fuck with him. Like, why do you think that bothered him so much?

I mean, to be honest with you, like, to each their own. Everybody has their own boundaries. However, it was just like, that's really part of my lingo. And I know he did ask the question of, like, do you usually call your partner's babe? Or something like that. And I just grabbed you these ideas of, like, yeah, but, like, I guess he thought I was being disrespectful when it's, I'm not gonna change who I am or change the way I speak. So, like, it's really hard to not have a normal conversation with you because now I feel like I have to think about everything I say.

Totally. You want to be yourself, and if it doesn't work for someone, you're getting the fuck out.

Exactly.

Done. Throughout this Season I feel like a huge convers conversation online was Ace was kind of like really criticized for trying to be like the leader of the villa. How did you guys feel in the villa? Like, did he feel like this big leader or was that kind of just like portrayed online differently?

To be honest with you, Like, Ace just has a very like strong personality and he's the type of person that if he feels a type of way, he would definitely speak up on it. So I think that's what it was more about. Like, compared to some other people, they were very quiet or more of a. Or like, you know, well, not like a following essentially, but I get it.

Like not as outspoken and speaking up about certain things that are upsetting him. Do you think? Because I think like I even felt this way watching it. Like, do you think there was any part of Ace that voted out Jeremiah because he kind of saw him as like this threat of like man to man? Like you're. I'm kind of competing with this person.

Yeah. So I was trying to get like, you know, the tea during the vid up. Like, wait, what's going on? Like, what's the beef? Like, why is there like a back and forth with between him and Jeremiah? But the guys just personally, from what they said, they felt as if Jeremiah was just using. It wasn't there for the right reason.

There was a huge rumor online that Ace and Shelley had secretly been dating before going on the show. We know they met and they acknowledged that people were like convinced there was something more outside of the villa. What was your take on that whole thing?

To be honest with you, I like, I believe that shutty when she said that her and Ace like definitely like man outside of the club once. But from what it seemed like it didn't really seem like they really knew much of each other. Like before that. I guess it was just that once an interaction probably slide it in the DMS once again that goes down in dms. But I don't think they were like David.

So it didn't feel like they were playing a game.

No.

And can you clarify like, because I think maybe it was like Jeremiah or Ace or someone said this on impress. Like a bunch of you kind of low key knew each other from social media.

Is that fair to say so? It's so funny because I knew of Shadi before going into the villa. We worked with the same photographer before, so he would always post their content. And I'm like, oh wait, like I would hype her up. She's a gorgeous woman. So going into the villa. Keep in mind, me and her have never hung out before. I was like, are you slim, thin, like, girl, I know you. Like, we follow each other. So we knew of each other. And yeah, it wasn't like.

Okay, so she was the only person you knew of?

Yeah.

Okay, that'. Okay. There was a lot of speculation. Can you confirm is Ace actually five' ten?

Man? I'm in Ibaba Height.

How tall are you?

I'm five. Three. Five, three.

So he was taller than you? Yes, he was taller than me, but shorter than Huda. No, wait, how tall?

Wait, how's five too?

Wait, she is. Yeah, Online it says Huda is five' nine.

No, she is not. She is nowhere near five' nine.

Okay, so me maybe he's like five, eight.

Five, eight. Yeah. Five, eight.

Okay. Okay. Coming in as a bombshell obviously can put women on edge. What was it like? Like, was it hard for you to make friends immediately?

You know, I would have to say the first couple of days were tough, a little bit. You know, just coming in as a bombshell, like you said, people could be uneasy with that or sometimes they already are in a couple. So it's kind of like, like you're taking away their quote unquote man or boo. So, yeah, I remembered, like, the first couple of nights where I was sleeping, I, like, cried myself to sleep. And then somebody in the bedroom was like, is someone crying? And I'm like, no, it's just me. Allergies, bro. No, God forbid a girl has allergies. I was like, in the bed, like, just crying to bed. And then somebody was like, who is doing that? And I'm like, bro, it's just allergies. Waking up with my face all puffy because I'm just sensitive. Like, honestly, like. And obviously, like, after a while, it didn't feel like that, like, anymore. But especially with the argument between Ace and I and how I was probably portrayed, it was just like, damn, man. Like, I'll just go to my corner and be my own best friend.

Dude, that makes me so sad for you. I wish I could have, like, hugged you while you're, like, sniffling. That makes me so sad. I think a big moment. Obviously, I know you and Hood are in a good place now, but when you first came into the villa, the tensions were high. And were you surprised at all by her reaction with the Jeremiah thing and you at all.

Like, surprise in a way was like, damn, like, she really has strong feelings for him, you know, like, and I, like, I will always stand up for myself. So I. I don't think to be like, confrontational or anything like that, but I definitely will hold my own ground. But just seeing how serious they were, I was like, damn. Like, okay, you could like, that's yours, that's yours.

Yeah, we saw her venting about you to the other girl saying, quote, that bitch is messy. Did you know that?

No.

So after the challenge and you guys like kissing, she talked to the girls and was like, that bitch is fucking messy. Did she ever say anything to you about your situation with Jeremiah or.

No, no, not really. I mean, I remember one time we were getting dressed in a dressing room and this was like day two for me, and the girls were just asking me, like, who are you going to talk to? So then I, like, slowly named the guys and there was like a mic drop moment where I was like, and I'm a doctor, Jeremiah. And then I just, like, looked at straight in her face because she was like getting sitting on the floor, doing her makeup to, like, see, like, what she'll say. And she was. Could talk to him. You could explore himself. Man. I like Messi, baby. We cleaned up that mess. Where's the broom? The broom was in the corner waiting for me.

I think a lot of people thought, like, especially online because we're not in the rooms with. Yeah, you guys thought like, wow, Huda is intimidating. Like, we saw there was a moment with Nick where he was like, I'm so intimidated by you. Like, when you are in hood. His presence, like, is she intimidating? Like, what's the vibe, girl?

She is the funniest girl I have ever met. Like, the nicest girl, very moderately. You know, she is great mommy. So she just has that very nurturing side to her. And I know we did start it off in the rocky place, but girl, sometimes friendships, the great friendships are. Are like starts from that. And eventually with time, it just was clear that we were really misunderstood, me and her, which made us bond to each other even more. Like, we. Yeah, you know, like, if we just felt like nobody really understood how. How steep we are with our feelings, so we just bonded off of that, like, going on forward.

That makes sense because I feel like a lot of watching of the villa, like, you can tell there's certain people that gravitate towards each other. And I agree. I felt like you and Hooda weren't that close in the beginning, but towards the end, you guys, even if we see like a shot of you guys behind whoever, they're like filming you guys are together, talking, eating together, like, you guys kind of really got together, but I didn't know why. And that makes a lot of sense because you guys had kind of of similar situations in a way. Okay, we have to talk about another one of the biggest conversations online was what the fuck went down in the Heart Rate challenge? Amaya, Amaya, Amaya. Everyone is like, did Huda take it too far? None of us were there. We couldn't see the angle. Do you think she took it too far with Ace?

I mean, listen, she. Whenever we do challenges, we just really go all in. Like, we don't have a tv, we don't have our phones. This is our entertainment. Like, we're like, okay, we're in an amusement park. Let's just go for the ride. So, you know, seriously. And listen, one thing about my girl is she's a great dancer. She knows how to. When she shakes that. That booty, it's an earthquake following through. So, you know, I believe that she really just had fun. And you lost in the moment, like, lost in the sauce. Like, she's just having fun.

Yeah, yeah. She's twerking. It's all going down.

We don't think, like, she should have been like, attacked or.

Because I think a lot of Shannon.

Is just a chance.

It's just, just a challenge. It's just a challenge until. Is it not a challenge what's happening? I think what happened because you guys don't get to see the edits that we watch was like, she got on top of him. And then basically why there was this conspiracy theory was we see her flip around, her ass is in his face. And then the next shot it's cut and she's like getting up. So everyone is convinced and that she put her ass in his face. Dude, can you confirm or deny?

I was. My mouth was to the floor watching the whole performance. I was also mesmerized by the booty. I was like, damn, there's a lot going on. I think she probably. I think it was definitely like a face down, ass up, jiggly jiggly.

Like, do you think Shelly was in the right for being upset or was it taken too far?

I would have to say I kind of a little like, get Shutty's point in the way, you know, like, okay, I guess you guys are having the strongest connection currently, but since you guys aren't officially closed off yet, then it's like fair game facts.

Okay, I need to know back to when I had asked you earlier. Did you guys get to take shots? Is there music playing in this heart rate challenge? Or is it dead silent?

We listened to the same song for, like.

No.

I think two to three times.

No.

Yeah.

We play it for me and, like, sing it, girl.

It was Nicki Minaj, Star Shapes.

No.

Let's shut this down. Okay. Wait.

At least it's Nicki Minaj.

Yes.

I thought it was about to be fucking elevator music.

Oh, no, no, no. Oh, my God. That would have been so. That actually, that would have been so funny. I think I would have not been able to take it serious.

It's like, do, do, do, do, do, do. And you're like, shake that out. Yes. Okay, that. That makes me feel better that it's Nicki Minaj. Like, at least that's like, kind of a vibe.

Yeah.

Okay. After the Heart Rate challenge, it felt like a lot of the women's relationships kind of turned in the villa because things got really contentious. Like.

Yeah.

Did you feel the change in the villa with the women after that challenge?

I definitely did feel like there was tension, especially after the whole hella situation. Like, it was really. It was. Was tense for a couple days.

Can I ask, like, did you feel like the villa was clicky? Like, were there specific clicks?

I feel like we tried our. We tried our best to interact with everybody, but I definitely would have to say, like, there's people who gravitated to each other more, just like, the way I gravitated to Helen, like, naturally, you know, before Huda.

And like, who else do you think you were closest with?

I would have to say me and Landry have a great, great friendship. I remember, like, when the whole 80s babe situation happened, I really did isolate myself. I was spending the whole day, like, crying, and she was really one of the main girls, just consoling in me and also making sure that my feelings are validated and I wasn't being, like, too much, you know, So I would definitely say her.

Yeah. I feel like Alondra, like, was so good at having really, like, calm, thoughtful conversations with the girls, and she was kind of sometimes, like, a grounding force where she would show up for someone even if she wasn't as close with them.

Yes.

Like, obviously she, like, was ride or die for Shelly, and they were best friends, which is beautiful. But, like, she did put herself out there in moments because when she saw a girl was kind of down bad.

Yes.

AKA you in that moment.

100%.

Okay. You came in with Hannah, and the other girls ultimately sent her home during one of the voting sessions. Yeah, I know. You weren't in those conversations because you were also up on the chopping block.

Yeah.

But why do you think looking. They made that decision, man, that was.

A really tough night. And everybody knows, like, Hannah, my bombshell sister, we both came in together, so it was, like, damn. Like, it was really insane. But from their point of view, they just wanted. They said that she already formed two strong connections before and that she will, like, get sometimes tunnel vision, like, with. With the guy that she's currently in the couple with in regards to, like, not being as open. So they said that they wanted to keep me so I could have the opportunity to still possibly find my connection, which, thank God, I did. And with Iris, they said that they kept Iris because she just started to get to know TJ or something like that. Yep.

Do you. I guess, I think.

Was it TJ or. I think it was Jeremiah. It was one of.

One of them at that point. Yeah, I'm. But, like, what do you think about that? Because I think this season, I think, was the first season, that people were kind of being, like, penalized for having strong connections, and then people were, like, voting people off that had strong connections, which I thought was the whole point of the show. But then the minute people had strong connections, people were like, okay, well, then you're done. Get off the island. Like, yeah, did. It kind of was confusing? Like, did you guys have conversations more in depth that maybe we didn't see about, like, the way you guys were gonna approach it?

So when it came down to every elimination, like, everybody had different standpoints in regards to how they want to go about it. They said that relays more on the people who are standing up there and what's going on with that. But. But they did. We all did discuss that if no one's officially closed off, we should be open. And if, like, that's not a conversation that was brought up, they would just. We all just agree to stay in open until anyone is officially closed.

Okay, so I see. So it's like, if you're not closed off, but you're acting closed off, then you're. What's going on here? Yeah, because it's like, then close off. So we're like, wow, you guys are in a relationship. This is beautiful. But if you're saying you're still open, but you're not actually fucking talking to people, then what's the deal?

Yeah, that's exactly the whole point.

Okay.

Because then it gets messy, it gets weird, because. And then you guys are acting closed off. So if a girl was to approach the guy that you're currently in a couple with it will start some whole drama for you guys. What I'm saying.

I get what you're saying. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Okay, out of the guys in the villa, who would you say was your closest friend?

You know, me and Nick didn't really talk to each other at the beginning as much, but towards the end, Nick a lot of really became my brother. Like, he is such my brother.

Like, wait, have you seen the rumor that he wore a wig the whole season?

Goodbye. Are you kidding me?

Oh, my.

Yo. What?

There is, like, a shot that is hilarious.

First of all, I need to tell him this. This is hilarious.

There is, like, a shot of the girl's dressing room, and in front of one of the girls, you kind of see this, like, curly little bundle, and it looks kind of like Nick's head. And everyone's like, was that motherfucker putting a wig on this entire season? I mean, there's no way.

There's no. Baby, I'm going to. I'm going to double verify tonight. Go, like, tuck on his hair, Nikki. But no, he's. He just has good curls.

Okay, that's so good. Okay, let's talk about your next connection. Austin.

Yes.

Okay, can you describe your time with him in three words?

Man? Explosive. I would definitely say ecstatic. And then. Sorry, the end. Surprising.

I love you. Okay, you guys were coupled up right before Casa More. Yeah. Going into Casa, like. Like, how much was Austin on your mind once you started exploring things with Zach?

So, literally, before I left to Casa Amore, mean, Austin had a slight conversation of him wanted to take things slow and in a slower pace. And, baby, we were already moving slow. No, like, seriously, we were already. We wouldn't kiss outside of the challenges. We weren't really cuddling with each other. Every conversation we had was very. Just meaningful. So I'm, like, moving slow, babe. We're ready in turtle speed. Like, this is going to be really. This is going to take up, like, so, like, I was just confused. So with him saying that to me going into Casa More, I was like, yeah, I'm definitely going to just be open.

You know, you get into Casa More. Why do you think Zach ended up choosing you over Alondra at the Casa Recoupling?

So during that time, from what he explained to me, he felt like we have more of a romantic connection. And in regards to him being with Alandria, he felt like it was more platonic. So that's what he told me.

Okay. Alandria was given a chance to stay in the villa by recoupling with Nick. How did you feel about the connection? Did you feel like it was genuine?

Yeah.

Okay. Yeah.

Really? Yeah. Like, especially with how they were in the villa prior to that. I feel like they definitely arrest had that friendship connection to begin with, so. And then moving on forward, I noticed him and her hat smooches. So I'm like, okay. Like, I definitely love them together as a couple.

Okay, we need to talk about the standing on business challenge. Okay, we need to talk about the standing on business challenge. Girl, girl, girl.

Sensitive gang. Some might come out.

Hold on. She's about start crying again. I'm gonna fudgeing cry for you. When you walked up to your mailbox, what were you expecting to see on your end?

I mean, I just really did. I was hoping that people would just be honest with me prior to that, because there was a lot of things I found out that night about how people felt that never once said it to my face. So with me, I'm. I'm not like that. I usually just say things to people how I feel. I don't wait for a challenge to do so. But I was preparing myself for the worst because of how things roll out, especially in the first days.

Ace, Austin and Zach all ganged up on you in this moment. And as a viewer, it was like Amaya. It was so uncomfortable and upsetting to watch, especially just, like, as a woman. Like, woman to woman, I was like, somebody go save this girl. How did it feel in that moment standing up there alone?

Oh, my God. And plus, people were already not necessarily complaining, but just say I cry too much. So it's like, damn, how can I not cry right now? It was a really, really tough moment for me, to be honest with you. Like, to just be on that podium and having nobody but myself at that moment, I'm like, you know what? I just really. It's all my place. I'm going to eat up and digest the food. And guess what? Thank you for spilling the tea on how everybody feels. But it really did. I was blackened out, like.

Yeah, I can imagine, like, completely just dissociating in that moment because you're like, just stand here. Try not to cry. Try not to cry. Okay, I'm crying. Try to hold it together. Try to hold together.

Yes.

Have you ever experienced anything like that situation in your real life ever?

To be honest? No. Because, like, once again, like, I'm able to walk away and, like, block someone when I feel like there's. The conversation is just leading into something horrible. But at that moment, I really just Needed to embrace it and just stance on business, you know? And on top of that, I had no idea Zach felt that way. And that was the person I was currently in a couple with. So out of everybody, I was like, okay, at least I have somebody to stand up for me. But it was not him at all.

Okay. During the challenge, yes. The guys were basically accusing you of coming on too strong and being too much too soon to have three men all be collectively saying that to you. Like, why do you think all of them? Were that triggered by you?

I mean, I, like, my father loves to say that a strong, confident woman, especially a woman who in touch with her emotions, would intimidate the cowards and people were not vulnerable and open like that. So it's just more like, I don't. I never understood the coming off too strong part because I never groped anybody. I swear that I was like, I started to get so scared of how I felt. Like, move. I was walking on eggshells. If I looked at somebody for too long, it was just like, she. Yeah, bro, she wants to get married with me the next day. Like, we never spoke about marriage or kids talk. I never groped anybody. Like, they just really started to make me feel like I was just doing too much.

Right. So you're like, I'm not even gonna make eye contact with you.

Right? Contact with anybody. Or, like, me. My pinky toe touching their pinky toe is sex to them. And, like, keep in mind, guys, we're on love island. We're supposed to be. I thought this was a kissing dating show, and I can't even have my shoulder touching you now, bro. Like, serious.

It's so facts. I was like, what is going on?

Like, I thought I was. I. I thought I was going crazy. I'm like, yeah. Did I not know what I signed up for? Like, I know I'm a very open, sexual girl and love her smooches, but nobody wanted smooches there. Anybody.

I will say I lost so much respect for all three of those men in that moment too, because I think there's one moment. Yes. To voice your opinion, but when you start to gang up on someone who is just standing there and getting it from every angle, like, read the room. Guess what? You're gonna be on this island for a long time. You can have this conversation privately, but to publicly try to embarrass you, it just was so inappropriate. Throughout the season, you stood up for other women, but no one stood up for you in that moment.

Yeah, I, like, honestly, I don't Know if it was just more of them loving the conversation, just be done and be finished. But yeah, I was just. It was just like me, particularly especially like me, like, at that moment. But I remember when I walked off Hela and. And another islander, I think it was Ciara. Yeah, they came and took off for me for a little bit. But no, it was my voice against three guys. And baby, this voice was loud.

Okay, what do you wish someone of the girls just would have said, all.

Right, guys, like, take it easy. Like, calm down, Just calm down. It was really tough. But I'm telling you, like, out of this whole experience, my skin is so thicker now. Thicker than raw beef. Okay, like. Or it's burnt beef. Like, this skin is tough now, baby.

Wait, Amaya, if you actually, like, now thinking back, like, why do you think no one stood up for you?

Maybe they felt the same way or maybe they were. They just didn't want to get involved. Probably. I think that's what it was. They didn't want to probably get involved in the crossfire that was happening. But though I was taking the bullets, like, boom, boom, baby. I was chaos. I had to walk away. I was game. Oh, I was like, what the fuck? What the fuck is going on?

Had roles been reversed and you were sitting and one of your girls was up there literally, like, verbally getting the shit beaten out of her.

Yeah.

What would you have said?

Oh, I would have. They would have heard me from across the room. I would have been like, actually, no, I have a question. Like, you're not going to be singing anybody like that. Especially now. One of my girls.

Okay, you mentioned. And let's get to it. Someone did stand up for you and speak up for you in that moment. Mr. Brian. How did that change the way that you saw him?

I mean, like, initially, I always thought he was very cute, very, very handsome. But just hearing his voice, because I thought it was just like arguments and arguments and people just attacking me. And to the point where one moment I put my head down, I wasn't looking up. And then I heard him say, wait, hold on, Hunt. And I looked up and I was like, my eyes just glowed. And I really did feel like he was my knight in armor at that night, like, just saving me. And after that, I did a double take. Baby girl, I was like, what? Brian? You know what? I even talked to you. Come over here.

You're like, brian, I bet if I kind of grazed toes with you, you would be turned on. Okay. And you wouldn't think I'm trying to you though.

Exactly.

We could have a nice conversation, right? Because you're a grown ass man. Okay. What made you realize after, like, initial attraction and loving that he stood up for you? What made you realize you wanted to be in a couple with Brian?

So after the conversation just kept on being so flowy, and I felt like I was being my complete self around him. I'll feeling tamed. And while feeling like my wings are being clipped off, like, it really just felt so natural. And I also felt like we had a lot of things in common. We come from the same background, so he, like, really do understands me in a different way, you know? So, yeah, it really started off, like, from that.

Okay, how did the night in the hideaway help strengthen your connection, honey?

Oh, baby girl. It was steamy, all right. We were. We were sweating. Like, it really was a great feeling to just have that private and intimate moment. Because, like, back in the villa, yes, you're able to have private conversations, but there's still people around. And, like, that feel just forced us to really be just us two. And, like, if we didn't want to conversate with each other, where we have somebody else to conversate with. But now it was like, no, we actually do want to talk to each other. Like, we love talking to each other and being next to each other. And the next morning, before, like, heading back, I remember just sitting down by the jacuzzi with him, and we were just quiet. Like, it was beauty in a silence. Like, I really did feel like I found my best friend where I could yap away or where we're having our quiet moments. It's like, one of the best quality times for him.

That makes me so happy for you because I relate to you. And, like, I'm a yapper too. I love talking, and I could talk forever. But when you find someone that you can be so comfortable with, that silence isn't awkward and you can just be still in yourself, That's a huge sign of, like, progress in a relationship that you don't have to do the small talk.

Yeah.

Okay. I have to ask. Ask. Did he end up eating the kitty in the hideway?

Eat that kitty in the hideaway. I said eat that kitty. Well, he defeat s on the vibe. We had a great night.

You had a good time.

Yeah.

Did you feel like your physical chemistry was there?

Oh, 100% love that for you.

Okay. How often aside from now the hideway, like, how often were people actually, like, hooking up and in the main room?

Dude? Well, I don't know. If it's like, you guys caught on. But we did have a code word journey, and it kind of traumatizes me now, like, when somebody outside be like, oh, a journey. I'm like, how dare you touching my pearls? But, like, if we had a Conan. But people were having journeys, so for sure.

And was it at all, ever, like, awkward while you're all trying to go to bed and you're hearing, like, smacking noises?

Like, dude, I'm like, can I sleep? We already don't get enough rest around here. But you know what? Like, as you said, baby girl, do.

You guys have sound machines or, like, like, earplugs?

The earplugs were not plugging. Like, listen, seriously, I was. Those were low quality earplugs because we were so able to, like, hear things. And I'm like, dude, okay. Especially if there was a couple right next to you.

I'm fucking dying. One of the biggest, major turning points of the season that I think the Internet truly felt. So I want to hear your take on it was when America voted you as the most genuine and most trustworthy islander.

Yeah.

As viewers, we felt like we watched everyone almost shift any kind of treat you really differently. Amaya, like, after that moment, did you feel the shift?

I felt the shift a little bit for sure. I mean, it was just like, okay, now you want to talk to me? Like, you know, you grew up clogging it. We didn't have no watches over there, but, baby, I clogged certainty. And it's like, don't talk to me now. I'm okay. School over.

Like, I feel like one of the things that was actually infuriating me personally was, like, seeing Zach literally tell you that he was basically, like, disturbed that you tried to kiss him, and then he's trying to climb up on that day bed with you being like, honey.

Girl, I was so confused. Somebody find me a map because I'm lost. Like, what the. I mean, like, no, seriously, I was confused. He's a grown man. He couldn't tell me. No, he kissed me. We were kissing back in Casa Amore. That's why it was, like, uncomfortable. Like, why? You're a strong word.

You literally came at me at the fire pit during the challenge. You're saying how uncomfortable you are around me. You don't want to be with me, you don't like me. And then America is like, by the way, let us remind you who the is the favorite. Since none of you know, we put you at number one and everyone lit. You see Adrian Ace's Face. And he literally is like, ha, ha ha. And everyone is like, oh, my God, Ace and Zach, specifically, it was like, let's watch you to try to figure out how to rearrange this narrative in your head. And let's see. And I was praying to fucking God you saw through Zach's bullshit.

Oh, I saw, girl.

Okay, good.

I don't have 2020 vision, but I have 2020 vision at that moment. Okay. It was like, dude, why are you trying to talk to me now? And then also, I feel like when the guys were, like, ranking me, it definitely was just projection. Like, they didn't have no. I'm like, name the reason. Like, name an example. No, examples weren't being able to meet.

Like, that's so interesting.

Yeah, it was just projection.

You don't need to name names. But, like, did you feel some of the women also kind of be a little bit nicer?

Some. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We don't need to throw shade. But, like, I. We don't even need you to name it because as viewers, we clocked it. And I was like, amaya, you better stand on business now and remember who the you are. But I say, I think again, why America fell in love with you, Amaya, is because you can tell how genuine you are. The fact that you didn't tell that Zach ass to be like, babe, we're done. Like, I know what game you're playing. You were still sweet to him. You still even apologized to him. I was gonna be like, amaya, girl, no, no, no. You apologized to him and ate face. I was like, girl, I. I have to just give you your flowers for a second. But also remind women, like, I think sometimes we are the first people to apologize in moments because we want to make situations just feel like, let's just appease people and let's make it easy and let's not make it awkward. But it's like, why did you speak to both of them that way? Yeah, because they were disrespectful and pushed you to the point that you then had to go back and defend yourself. Yeah. And then you're being the made the one that feels like you have to apologize. Apologize first.

Yeah, bitch.

Fudge.

No, girl. No, no. Exactly.

No. Another huge moment. There were so many fudgeing huge moments. I love how people are like, I don't know about this season. Like, how many big fucking moments. We can't even get through enough, and I still have so much more to talk about. Okay. A huge moment this season was when Sierra abruptly left the Villa, can you talk to me just from your perspective as an Islander? What went down, dude?

One, like, literally we all started the morning together, and then out of nowhere, she did disappear. And we all were just asking, where was Ciara? Like, like, I remember accident. I was like, do you guys know where Sierra went? And then same thing with Nick. I was like, nick, like, where's the hour? We all genuinely did not know, so we did not get the chance to say goodbye. We weren't able to see her pack her bags. It literally just happened in the flash of an eye. It felt, like, very unreal, like, in a way, like, what is going on?

Where were you guys when she clearly went and packed her bag?

We were all in the villa. Like, we were all. We literally were all just hanging out.

You were like, outside.

Outside. And she was just. She was gone. Like, oh, that's really gone.

Now, knowing I have to ask, like, why she left, how do you feel about it? It.

I definitely do think words matter and everyone should be respected, you know? So, like, I just hope that, like, she learns from her consequences, which, you know, she. She is a grown woman. So, like, hopefully moving on forward. It's just like, we. This should not be repeated, you know?

Yeah. Okay, we're gonna play a game.

Okay.

Okay. I'm gonna give you a scenario, and you tell me the first islander that comes to mind. Okay? Okay. Who gave the best advice?

Best advice? First Islander? I would say only Andrea.

Okay. Which islander crashed out the hardest, besides myself?

Hello.

Who was the fakest?

Oh, fakest man. Austin Boston. Because, listen, where did this information come from? Austin. Shit.

Which guy was the best kisser? Oh, Brian, whose clothes did you steal the most?

Ciara's.

Which couple had the most sex in the group room?

Oh, my God. Damn. Okay, wait. How about Jeremiah when they were together, huh?

Whose elimination made you the saddest?

Oh, my God, Charlie.

Which couple has the best chance of making it in the outside world, besides you and Brian?

I would have to say. I would have to say Alandria. Nick.

Really?

Yeah. Yeah. Because Iris and Pepe, I don't know, like, like, nothing against, like, their relationship. I love them together, but I. Alandria and Nick. Families spoke about cookouts already and inviting each other over to their household, so I really do think that they're going to be a good couple.

Okay, we're gonna play a game. What is the weirdest place you've ever had sex?

CVS pharmacy. At the bathroom. In the bathroom. Not in public. Not in public. Public. But it was in the Bathroom.

What was going on?

We made sure that we didn't touch anything. Like I touched the wall. Cause I needed to stabilize myself. But we made sure that it was clean. Okay. Literally we went to. We went to cvs. I needed to buy some candy. And then we had one smooch. And then he was like, do you want to go to the bathroom? Like, okay. I guess it was exciting. It made it more exciting.

A CVS book.

We love that Santa Claus. Please bring me Christmas presents. I promise I wasn't that Nollie.

Okay, what is the most unhinged thing you have ever done after a breakup?

Unhinged means like, like you went a little crazy, dude. Ah, there's a lot of moments. Let me think. Brain loading. Oh, I think I called my ex boyfriend's mom and I'm like, how dare you raise a son like this?

That's so good. When you call the mom.

I called the mom, baby. I usually always get my like boyfriends at the times like mom's phone number. But yeah, I'm like, wait, no, mama, sit down. We have to have a talk. Okay. What in the world? How where went wrong? Was there any like childhood like situation that made him like this? Like, like, what is it?

It's so real. Put it on the mother. It's now your problem to take your son, your bitch ass son back. I'm done with his ass. Okay, what is the craziest thing someone's ever asked you to do in bed?

In bed? To suck their toes like ill guys. Sorry, but I'm never sucking a man's toes. Like, why? First of all, they don't even have that much good of a self care usually. And now you want me to suck your toes? Like, are they even washed? And like, guys, let me tell you, Let me show you this moment. I went to Miami like two years ago and I was on a jet ski with someone and I looked down and he had the longest pinky toenail ever. I swear on my baby sisters, I got scared. I was like, I don't know if he used that as a weapon. Like if somebody's coming to attack him, I'll like just slice somebody with the pinky toenail. But girl, it was long and strong. And ever since then, I kind of do have a little bit of a. An ick when it comes down to guys.

So we were you hooking up with this man on the jet ski?

We were just on the jet ski, right? And we were supposed to hook up. But when I tell you, I was like, I was like Girl, bring me back to chore right now. This is not okay. How the fuck you fit your feet in the sneakers? Seriously, with that long toenail. It was like this. I had so much questions.

We. Amaya, when someone asked you to suck their toes, what did you say to them?

Oh, hell no. I'm like, don't ruin the moment right now, my love. Like, everything's going smooth like butter. And now you're gonna come here with the kitchen knife and just slice me up like, hello. Calm down. Calm. Relax. My guy.

What is the most embarrassing thing you've ever done during a night of drinking?

Dude? Oh, my God. Guys, I. This was when I was like 21, too much margaritas, just started drinking your girls with freestyling, rapping on a date. And keep in mind. What? I started to freestyle rap on a date on our way back home. And it was a one hour car ride. So it's not like I just did one thing. I was just yapping, talking to myself. And then at first I thought he liked it, but then I go on Twitter and I seen that one, he blocked me on Twitter from seeing a tweet. And then two, my friend sent it to me and they're like, bro, he just on you. He was like, what would you do if a girl wraps the whole entire car ride? And everybody was like, jump out the window. I'm like, oh, my God.

Wait, you have to give me. From any recollection, you have a little rap. Give me a little something.

Okay.

So you're like, we're driving. I'm driving, right? Oh. And you're like, this is feeling nice.

So it was literally like the Fat Joe Fat Jolene back instrumental.

Yeah, give me it. Give me.

It was like, my name is a little girl with a big dream. Never get down her knees, if you know what I mean.

Meanwhile, this man is like, I'm about.

To swerve up the road off. But looking back, it was like, okay. I could definitely see. I could see like the fake smiles, like, get me out of this car.

I also could see, like, it's fun for a couple minutes, but an hour. Like, I'm obsessed with you that you're like, let me give you another one. Hold on, hold on. Listen to this shit. This is amazing. He's like, can I turn on the radio? You're like, like, no, I am the radio. I'm seriously obsessed with you. Okay. Fuck. Mary killed these sex positions, okay? Doggy style, cowgirl and missionary.

Okay. Mary, missionary. Because eye contact. Hello. Oh, and eyes. Fuck. Doggy Sound, you know, exciting and kill cowgirl. Baby, my knees be tired, okay? I don't have the best joints. This is why I do yoga and I stretch it out, but we're trying to improve. Move.

Okay, what is your go to line if you want to start sexting?

Oh, I would just be like, time to get wet for both me and him.

I love how straightforward you are. Okay, what has been your wildest sexual mishap?

Mishap? Like what?

Like you fell off the bed and you got a concussion. Like you broke an elbow. Like, God, you fell off. Off you. Whatever the. Like a disaster, dude.

So I was having sex with my one of my ex boyfriends and he. I guess he got too excited that he farted. But like, the fart was so bad that I almost threw up. I tried to act like it was like, okay, like, obviously it's natural for humans to pass gas. That's good that you're passing gas, bro. We're oh for it. But like, we had to stop and move to a whole different room. And I'm like, please don't let this fart linger. Because how to know was so not it?

Did he acknowledge it?

He was like, yeah, it was like, like. And I'm like, what the is. I'm sure that that was not me queefing, so it had to come from something.

Now why was it one of those.

Like, it was like. It was like a. Like that, like, literally short, but very, very impactful. Powerful.

You know what's so crazy is like, I feel like that as shitty as it is, it's like if it's loud, it's literally. It's kind of awkward if it's loud, but if it doesn't smell, you're like, okay, that was weird. Pretend it was a queef. Keep it moving. Yeah, if it reeks.

Dude, I don't know what he was eating that day, but boy, was it. I. I survived, baby. I almost suffocated. Okay. I'm a survivor.

Her.

I'm a gas fart person in the. In the sex. Survivor.

You're so strong, Amaya. You're so strong.

The battles I face. The battles I face.

Okay, what is your weirdest turn on?

Weirdest turn on? I like, okay, like, you know when you're cuddling with somebody and like, you're. I love putting my face on your armpits a little bit. Obviously, if it smells crazy, that I'm going to like, be like, oh, hell no. But if it's a good smell, you know, like, Bobby, you're in there? Yeah, I'm in there.

Okay. Have you ever had a threesome?

No.

Would you ever?

Yes, I would. But not now. Okay, not now. Like, I feel like that's more for, like, 30s, like, when. When, like, the sex is, like, to keep things exciting, you know?

30S. We're going to save it for the 30s.

30S, yeah.

Love that for you. You okay? Amaya, what is your best skill in the bedroom?

Oh, man. Listen, there's a reason why my jaws snatch, okay? Your girl be stretching the jaw out, and I'm proud. I'm proud. Not everybody got to see the scale. So, like, if you're able to see the scale.

Brian, girl, I'm proud of you. I. I am so proud of you. How do you think your life is going to be different now after Love Island? Like, are you gonna lean into the fame? Like, what? What are you thinking?

I definitely do want to engage with my supporters as much as possible. Like, I just want to talk to them and know that, like, my papaya would never change. You know what I'm saying? And I really do want to leave a positive impact on women to know to never settle and to never change who they are. So as long as I keep on sending that message out, whether it's like my mini, like, get ready with me sort of vlogs, then for sure. But, you know, a goal of mine, like I said earlier, is definitely to get my PhD. So maybe next year, your girl will be returning back to school. And for anybody who would want to follow me in that journey, it's more than, like, I'm open.

Okay. You and Brian, obviously, we saw you guys, you won Love Island. But now what do you think this looks like in the real world world?

Guys, I'm so, so, so excited to be in the real world with him without, like, mics up. And I could just talk to him whenever. And, like, I'm waiting for our truffle pasta date, and I can't wait to meet his family. I know I met some of his family, his papa bear, but I need to meet Mommy officially. He needs to come. We're going to be cooking together. There's just so much things that we have planned for us, and I'm just happy to be in this moment with him, you know?

Have you guys talked about long distance? Yeah. Like, what are you guys thinking?

Yeah. So we're definitely going to be taking turns seeing each other. And Boston is not far away from me. I actually have cousins and friends out there. So, Boston, your girls come in.

I'm obsessed you and Brian made history by being the first Hispanic couple to win Love Island.

Wow.

Congratulations. Like, what does that mean to you, man?

It's really, really huge because I'm the first generation to be here in America, first generational nurse. Like, first time for, like, my parents literally came from Dominican Republic and, like, didn't have the best, like, upbringing. So Latino culture, to me is very, very huge. So, I mean, it's really. I feel blessed, and I feel so. I feel so much gratitude, you know?

No, I think, like, for the world and especially right now, this was such an incredible moment in history. Like, I think sometimes people obviously can look at Love island and be like, oh, it's just a dating show. But to see you and Brian up on that stage and winning in the world that we're in right now, I think it just. It's probably what a lot of people needed. And for you to be that person, to give people that hope and that strength, like, it's truly beautiful and incredible. Maya, oh, my gosh.

Seriously, like, hearing this from you is really huge. So thank you, of course, so much. And we feel so supported and so loved, and I'm glad that I was able to. Well, me and Brian were able to be a part of this.

Can I ask you about just quickly? I know we don't have that much time, but, like, mental health, I think sometimes people look at people on shows and we're all obsessed. We're like, we don't like this couple, and we like this person. We don't like that person. But can you just kind of talk to me a little bit about what in maybe not as fun moments in the villa, like, what did mental health look like in the villa? And like, struggles and just, like, how did people get through when things were dark? Just to, like, understand for people watching, like, this isn't all just fun and games. Like, we're real people.

Yeah. Like, literally we're real people. We have. Have feelings. And I think sometimes, like, people forget how intense things could be in there. Like, when you don't have any interaction with the outside world, you're not able to call your mom and dad and talk to them. Like, we're literally just there. But when we have doctors, like, on, like, sad, like psych. Like psych doctors. So whenever we are really are having a bad, bad moment or we feel like the road is, like, crashing down due to the intensity of emotions, we're able to take a break and talk to doctors if needed to be. And everybody has their own way with navigating how they deal with their feelings. But one, for me was just one, loving it out, and two, just going on a dock and feeling that fresh air and, like, just embracing mother Nature.

I'm gonna do a couple rapid fire last minute questions, and then we're ending. Okay. What is your take on bdsm?

Oh, baby, we love that. We love that. Okay, you do love.

Okay. How do you feel about Timothee Chalamet?

Oh. Oh, yeah. Was Zendaya right? Right? No. Oh, wait, no, he's with Kylie.

Yeah, he's with Kylie.

I'm going crazy. Very cute.

Very cute. What is your most irrational fear, Ira?

I would have to say sharks. Like, seriously, I. Sometimes when I'm underwater and my eyes are closed, I have, like, like this big imagination of a shark coming to get me. I don't know why.

So do you go in the ocean a lot?

Well, from me and beyond.

Yeah, that's it. What is your weirdest reoccurring dream?

Oh, my gosh. I would have to say getting shades by naked people. No, seriously, like, that's one of my night terrors. Have you ever watched the movie Hereditary?

No.

So there was, like, a scene there where, like, she's just like. I don't know, I forgot it was a he or she. But somebody just wakes up and, like, there's a scene of, like, naked people all around them. And, like, ever since then, that's, like, really, like, irrational. Fear of mines. I just hope I don't trip and fall.

Holy.

No, I swear. Watch, when you search it up, you're gonna be like, okay, I see what she's talking about.

Okay, fair. Okay, fair. If you had a vibrator. Oh. If you have a vibrator and you had to name her, what would it be?

Rosa.

Okay. What is a song that will always hype you up?

Ooh. Got that. Only.

What is the weirdest thing you keep in your purse?

I keep. Damn, I have a lot of weird things in my purse. Backup heels. Because I went out one day in NYC and, like, a purse, as in, like, a tote bag. And then my heel literally broke. Broke. So then, ever since then, I was like, no, we need to bring back up heels, because, girl, we're not ever going to be limping like that again. Yeah.

Do you ever wear flats?

I wear flats sometimes.

Okay. Who is your dream threesome?

Three. Three. Let me see. Let me. Kim Kardashian. She is hot as.
