Vanderpump Rules fans spot clue Katie Maloney is joining Ariana Madix on Love Island & beg ‘help’ Leah Kateb’s boy drama
VANDERPUMP Rules fans have been left convinced that Katie Maloney is joining Ariana Madix on Love Island.
Viewers hope that the Something About Her founders can help Leah Kateb sort out her boy drama together.
Katie, 37, shared a photo on her Instagram Story that revealed she was traveling to Fiji, where Love Island USA films.
The Vanderpump Rules star initially teased her travels, posting a photo of her one leg folded over the other as she sat at a small table.
She was wearing pink and red Adidas sneakers, and in front of her was a glass full of red wine and a glass of water.
Another Instagram Story post from the star showed her sitting in a First Class cabin with a large screen in front of her.
The screen had “FIJI” written on it and showed a picturesque beach scene.
“LFG,” Katie wrote, meaning let’s f**king go.
She did not explain why she was traveling to the tropical locale but fans believe it’s to reunite with Ariana, 39, and possibly appear on Love Island USA.
Ariana has been hosting Season Six of the reality show.
Love Island USA fans want Katie to appear to help contestants with their romance issues.
GET TO WORK
“I’m going to need her to go full on Tequila Katie on Rob & Aaron,” one fan wrote, referencing Rob Rausch and Aaron Evans.
Rob was coupled up with Leah on the show, but their relationship was rocked when Andrea Carmona, 25, entered the villa as a bombshell.
Andrea was dumped from the island shortly after her arrival, however.
“NEED her to tell the men about themselves,” someone else demanded.
“TIME TO DO WHAT IS NEEDED, MOTHER KATIE,” a third fan posted on social media.
“I hope she destroys those boys,” a fourth fan commented.
Several fans speculated that Katie might be appearing on Love Island USA for different reasons.
“What if she’s a bombshell!?! [Laughing-while-crying emoji],” one fan wondered.
“You’ll see Katie behind the bar, making drinks,” a second guessed.
“I love this idea! Hope she’s a bombshell! She’d steel all the girls from the guys, that would be so great!” a third fan speculated
“She prob be on aftersun,” another fan suggested.
On Wednesday night it was revealed that fans who guessed Katie was flying to Fiji to appear on Aftersun were correct.
Queens of Bravo confirmed on X that Katie was appearing on Love Island USA: Aftersun on Saturday, July 13.
Maura Higgins will host and the Bravo star will be joined by Cely Vazquez, Callum Hole, and Ariana.
DEFENDING HERSELF
Fans have been loving Ariana as Love Island USA host, but she’s faced some backlash.
The Bravo star was body-shamed by a critical commenter over one of her looks on the show, and she was quick to hit back.
During a June episode, Ariana stepped out in a see-through black thong bodysuit while hosting the show.
She shared a slow-motion clip of herself walking into the Love Island villa for an underwear-themed party.
The reality star wowed in a plunging bodysuit, which she paired with thigh-high strappy high-heeled sandals.
“A host and a Bombshell wrapped into one!” the caption on her Instagram post stated.
While most fans were floored by Ariana’s appearance, one person critiqued, “She needs to work on her legs…”
“I work on my sexy a** legs almost every day,” Ariana clapped back.
“I’d snap your neck with my thighs but I’ll never let you close enough to touch me.”
Ariana’s boyfriend, Daniel Wai, appeared to appreciate the video.
He commented two flame emojis.
Ariana took over as host of Love Island USA from Sarah Hyland, who appeared on Season Four and Season Five.
