Nicole calls out Kendall for lying about leaked video – In a dramatic and emotionally charged episode of “Love Island USA” Season 6’s reunion, Nicole Jacky and Kendall Washington found themselves at the center of a heated confrontation. The reunion, which aired on Peacock on Monday, brought to light significant tensions between the couple, particularly surrounding a leaked explicit video that had caused a stir since the season finale.
Host Ariana Madix facilitated a tense discussion about the couple’s relationship since leaving the villa. Washington, 28, candidly admitted that the transition back to everyday life had been challenging. “It’s been a bit tough coming on the outside, but just trying to communicate and work things [out],” he said. However, Jacky, 26, swiftly interrupted him, expressing her dissatisfaction with their communication. “Communicate? You’ve not been communicating and you never have been,” she asserted.
The conversation took a more intense turn when Madix probed further into the issues. “What was the lie?” she asked, leaning into the unfolding drama. Washington appeared visibly distressed as he attempted to explain the situation regarding the explicit video of himself that had recently leaked. The video, which had been shared on social media, was a major point of contention between the couple.
Earlier, Washington had addressed the situation on Instagram, claiming that the video had been disseminated by someone he had once trusted. He maintained that the video was leaked by an ex-girlfriend from his past. However, during the reunion, Washington admitted that he had been less than forthcoming about the video’s origin and timing. “I should’ve told Nicole the full truth [about] when it happened and I didn’t,” he confessed.
Jacky, however, was not convinced by Washington’s explanation. She revealed that she had learned from fellow Islander JaNa Craig that the video was not from years ago, as Washington had claimed, but was actually taken in a hotel room and sent to someone on a dating app just days before he made his debut on the show. This revelation added another layer of complexity to the situation and intensified Jacky’s frustration.
“So I just want to say something because obviously the video is not OK,” Jacky stated emphatically. “Nobody deserves that. Everybody in this room can agree that it’s f–ked up.” She continued, emphasizing the importance of honesty in a relationship. “However, I think if you say you love somebody … you need to be honest. Instead of saying [the video] is from years ago,” she argued.
Washington struggled to justify his actions, explaining that he had been overwhelmed by the situation and didn’t know how to address it properly. “All I wanted to do was just have you there,” he said, admitting that he felt unprepared to handle the fallout from the video leak and was unsure of how to be transparent with Jacky.

Jacky, in response, accused Washington of pushing her away and only reaching out when it was convenient for him. Despite Washington’s claims that he had tried to contact Jacky multiple times, she maintained that she had been ignoring his attempts, which further strained their relationship.
The reunion episode also highlighted the couple’s physical and emotional distance during the filming, with the two noticeably avoiding close interaction. Despite the clear tensions and ongoing issues, Jacky confirmed that they were still together, although their relationship appeared to be on shaky ground.
The couple, who finished in fourth place on the dating series, faced one of their most challenging moments on the show’s reunion stage. Their confrontation underscored the complexities and emotional struggles that often follow the intense experiences of reality television. As they navigated the fallout from the video leak and their communication issues, it was evident that rebuilding trust and understanding would be a significant challenge for them moving forward.
