She said, “I was like, ‘Hmm, he might do it, why the f*** can’t I do it?’ Because he told me it was dumb.”
After he acted like that,Huda thought to herself, “Why the f*** can’t I do it? You’re rubbing it in my face. F*** it, I’ll apply.“So she did just that and was cast onLove Island USA.
“I met this guy, and he knew that I wanted to do Love Island. It ended up being just like a really toxic thing, where it was like he was not at all who I thought he was. That ended. He ended up trying to rub it in my face that they reached out to him because he knew I wanted to do it. And I was like, hmm, he might do it, why the fck can’t I do it? Because he told me it was dumb. So I was like, why the fck can’t I do it? You’re rubbing it in my face. F*ck it, I’ll apply. I applied traditionally and I said, you know what, I’m going to do it, and I did.”

Admitting that she applied to go onLove Island USAto spite a former lover is right in line with Huda’s personality. First of all, she’s feisty, soapplying for a show out of spite seems like something she’d doto prove someone wrong–and prove them wrong she did.
