'Love Island USA' Season 5 star Destiny Zammarra calls out Marco Donatelli for being 'macho man' in villa

Destiny Zammarra's 'macho man' comment about Marco Donatelli ensues drama in 'Love Island USA' Season 5

PACIFIC HARBOUR, FIJI: 'Love Island USA' Season 5 latest episode kicked off with explosive drama as Destiny Zammarra and Marco Donatelli's relationship crashed just one day after they entered the villa. The couple connected very well in the last episode but it soon fizzled out.

Marco and Destiny had a great date and also kissed just hours after arriving at the villa. They also cuddled in the night and did not have sex. Marco boasted to the boys that he got a kiss, excited about the chemistry he had with his new girl. The two cuddled that night, falling asleep on cloud nine.

Marco Donatelli wants to explore other options in the villa

Things changed between Marco and Destiny when Marco refused to be in a serious relationship. Marco sat Destiny down to talk, telling her he wanted to explore his options while the two were together. This enraged Destiny, who said if he felt that way he should have said something before he kissed her. Marco explained that he wanted to ''explore'' his options in the house and not just keep on dating her. However, Destiny slammed Marco for not saying anything before kissing her. While referring to 'Love Island USA', Marco noted, that it was very new to him when Destiny taunted, ''I don't kiss new." Marco tried explaining himself, to which Destiny just laughed and rolled her eyes. She said he should have had this conversation with her "before we kissed." She walked away while GAYLE's 'abcdefu' song played in the background. Marco buried his face in a beanbag and screamed, knowing the relationship was not going how he wanted it to go.

Destiny Zammarra dubs Marco Donatelli 'macho man' of the villa

After the huge feud between Marco and Destiny, Marco approached her to talk it out again. But Destiny was visibly done with him. He said to the camera he was going to ''be himself'' as he tried to make amends. Marco told Destiny, "I want a friendship still." But Destiny slammed him back and said, "You're entitled to your feelings." Marco still tried to make peace, telling her he respected her, but she was quick to answer: "I don't respect you." Destiny continued on that Marco was not being respectful and he was trying to be a "macho man all around the villa," which deeply offended Marco.

However, 'Love Island USA' viewers called Marco for getting offended. A social media user wrote, "Marco: im not a macho man *literally 2 minutes later when the boys are back*." Another Twitter user added, "Marco & his veneers and balding scalp wanna act like he don’t see where Destiny is coming from. And btw that whole “stand up if you got a kiss” then proceeding to stand up is a very macho douchey cringe thing to do." Another viewer wrote, "Marco, the same guy that said his type was “women of color” really fixed his wide jaw to say macho man was a derogatory term. Really makes you go hmmm doesn’t it?" Another follower said, "Not marco getting called “macho man” and acting like it’s a derogatory term……. b**ch 💀💀💀." Another person penned, "Introduces himself as “6’3”, Solid Steel and Sex Appeal” but gets offended when she says he’s acting “macho.” Ok, Marco… 🙄 #LoveIslandUSA."
