MAMANUCA, FIJI: In a dramatic turn on 'Love Island USA' Season 6, best friends JaNa Craig and Leah Kateb found themselves at odds over their mutual interest, Connor Newsum. Tensions escalated when Connor began to show interest in Leah, prompting JaNa to confront Leah about staying away from him.

Initially, Connor's interactions with Leah caused JaNa to feel betrayed and hurt, as she had expected loyalty from both Leah and Connor. JaNa expressed her frustration to Leah, explaining that she felt hurt by Leah's closeness with Connor and asking her friend to respect their friendship. On the other hand, Leah defended her actions, arguing that she was simply responding to Connor's attention and had no intention of hurting JaNa.

The disagreement quickly turned into an explosive feud between the two friends, with emotions running high as Leah asked JaNa to stop acting as though she was approaching her "boyfriend." In the preview clip, Leah says, "That's not your boyfriend," to which JaNa responds, "you're literally making shit up." "No I'm not and just shut the f*** up," Leah hits her with her comeback.
