PACIFIC HARBOUR, FIJI: Friendships are at stake in 'Love Island USA' Season 5. Everyone is trying their best to steal the connection and make their move as soon as they find the right moment. Indeed, Kassy Castillo was seen trying to secure her relationship with someone in the villa. But fans believe she is being "fake" while doing so.

'Love Island USA' Season 5 fans believe Kassy needs to relax. In Episode 5, we saw the star making a move on Vickala 'Kay Kay' Gray's man Keenan Anunay. Kassy cried her heart out in the new episode, claiming that she is unable to find a match in the villa.

Is Kassy trying to steal Kay Kay's man?

Kassy, at first, was seen calling Kay Kay her girl. Both seemed to be building a good friendship on 'Love Island USA' Season 5 – but now Kassy may have backstabbed Kay Kay. Kay Kay has been loud and clear about liking Keenan. On the other hand, Kassy is failing to build any connection in the house. Therefore, she is hitting on all the boys she thinks she could have a chance with, not even leaving the man her friend likes. Kassy, who is a real estate student, got slammed by fans of the show for trying to pursue the guy her friend is coupled with.

Kassy was seen try manipulating Keenan by asking, "If Kay Kay wasn't here right now what girl would you grab?" To this, Keenan replied, "I wasn't really attracted to nobody besides you and her but I've seen you with Leo." Listening to this, Kassy, seeing a chance with him, asked in excitement, "Wait really?" 

'Kassy is so fake'

Seeing Kassy try to betray her friend made a fan tweet, "Naaaaah kassy is so fake BYE LMAOOOO cause how you say kay kay is your girl but don’t let her know you want the man she wants???" Another wondered, "Why would kassy even pursue the guy her “friend” is coupled up with without even expressing she wanted to get to know him to her instead of doing it behind her back and leaving Keenan to deal with the mess.. let’s not even talk about him!" Another fan slammed the star, "Kassy has to goooooo Omg a weird bitch, I can’t respect her." Furthermore, a fourth fan tweeted, "Lol I was loving kassy but like destiny…do she realize what show she’s on?? Kassy crying, destiny arguing lol wtf is wrong with these girls. It’s been one night. This is not entertaining drama." Another called her out, saying, "Kassy snaking Kay Kay after complaining abt how nobody was considering her feelings IS A F*KING JOKE BRUH." Another claimed, "Kassy needs to relax and talk to other guys or something."
