Kyle tried to back his mom's comment about Destiny as he noted, "We know Destiny can be spicy... she's got a little spicy to her."

However, after the video message ended, the islanders asked Kyle about how he felt about the situation.

Kyle replied, "They said what they said about you... Obviously, they don't know you so you know that's a conversation we'll have to have with them so."

However, he also noted that he was happy to see his mother and sister, but they could have been nicer, and Destiny seemed to agree with Kyle.

Destiny was quick to respond after the video ended. She noted to Kyle, "I didn't take it personal, it's whatever they saw, you know?"

However, Kyle seemed to be bothered by his mom's comment and had a conversation with Destiny. However, Destiny assured Kyle that she was totally fine with his mother's 'drama' comment.

Destiny said, "I still look like I'm me, You know, no one can take that away from me they haven't been here with us."

She added, "They don't know whats like being here at the end of the day. I've never had a parent not like me so seeing that is harder for me seeing how it affected you."

She further said, "I guess at the end of the day the real talk that needs to happen is do you feel like I'm drama?"

Kyle noted that he didn't find her dramatic and said, "I wouldn't have been coupled up with you If I thought you were that much drama for me."

Destiny further said that everything would be fine once she met with Kyle's family in person.
