MAMANUCA, FIJI: In a heart-wrenching moment on 'Love Island USA,' villa 'baddie' Liv Walker was left in tears after being dumped by her connection, Caine Bacon. Despite Caine's dramatic entrance as a bombshell, he and Liv never seemed to ignite any real chemistry in the villa.

Their relationship remained lukewarm, devoid of the passion and connection evident in other couples. However, things took a dramatic turn with the arrival of Casa Amor bombshell Sierra Mills into the villa.

Sierra had initially coupled up with Miguel, but when that relationship fizzled out, she began to forge a strong bond with Caine. Their connection blossomed rapidly, revealing a genuine spark between them.

On the recoupling night, Caine faced a difficult choice and ultimately decided to dump Liv in favor of choosing Sierra. This decision left Liv in tears, shattered by the dashed hopes of finding love with Caine. The ripple effects of Caine's choice were profound throughout the villa, particularly among the OG islanders.

The girls of the villa, in particular, were devastated by the loss of their beloved friend. Liv had become a cherished figure known for her strength, charisma, and unwavering support for the girls. Witnessing her departure brought many of them to tears.

"I feel like I've made friends, and I didn't necessarily think I'd make such good friends. I'm so happy for everyone. And, like, I'll have these friends forever," Liv said before leaving. "And, honestly, seeing everyone so happy and closed off and, like -- Honestly, they've changed who I am for the better, so I can't thank them enough," Liv added.

'Love Island USA' star Liv Walker says she loves 'supporting her friends'

Liv Walker opened up about how much she values supporting her friends, despite being misunderstood by some viewers. She was hurt and felt misjudged after being labeled as the "loser" and "mean girl" of the villa in a series of posts.

Liv shared her feelings with the other girls in the villa, expressing her upset over how fans perceived her. "Supporting my friends is something that I love about myself," Liv said in her confessional. "Sometimes I do come across a little bit intense and forward. I hope America doesn't think I'm a b---h because I'm not a b---h."

The other islanders quickly rallied around Liv, reassuring her that standing up for her friends did not make her mean. "F--k that. No, you're not, Liv," one of the girls said. "Just because you keep it real, Livvy, does not mean you're mean. Yeah, we love you, Liv."

'Love Island USA' star Liv Walker claims to 'put others' before herself 

Liv Walker elaborated, revealing how she often prioritizes others over herself, stating,  "I feel like half the time, I put someone else before myself." The girls wholeheartedly supported her, affirming,  "All the time. All the time. You do that all the time. And if anyone in this villa supports anyone, Liv, it's f---ing you. You saw the way we were behind you like Avengers, b---h. We ain't gon' let nobody talk to you badly."

Despite the harsh comments from fans, Liv has always prioritized being there for her friends, no matter what.
