AceShowbiz - Ariana Madix has been making waves with her new role as the host of "Love Island USA" Season 6. In a promotional Instagram clip, Madix stunned fans with her fit figure in a sheer black bodysuit.
Most comments praised her appearance, but one fan's critique of her legs was swiftly met with a sharp retort from the star, "I work on my sexy a** legs almost every day. I'd snap your neck with my thighs, but I'll never let you close enough to touch me." Her boyfriend, fitness trainer Daniel Wai, showed support with two fire emojis.
Despite an overwhelmingly positive reaction, Madix did encounter some skepticism. A fan commented, "You are no Maya," comparing her to the renowned host of "Love Island UK", Maya Jama. In true Madix style, she responded, "I could never be nor am I trying to be the queen that is Maya Jama. I am me and I am going to bring my best self to my dream hosting job doing what I do best: BE MYSELF."
Madix's rise to the hosting gig comes after a tumultuous period in her personal life. The discovery of her boyfriend Tom Sandoval's affair with "Vanderpump Rules" castmate Rachel Leviss in March 2023 shook her world. The affair also led to intense scrutiny from her co-star Lala Kent, who openly criticized Madix for not contributing enough to the show's drama in Season 11.
During the season finale, Madix's decision to leave a group event instead of filming with Sandoval sparked mixed reactions from her castmates. Lala Kent found the move "bulls**t" while Scheana Shay deemed it "unfair." However, Madix defended her choice, stating, "Everyone has the right to exercise that, and they do all the time."
Madix's professional journey has been nothing short of exciting. She took to social media to celebrate her new hosting gig, stating, "to follow in the slo-mo footsteps of such iconic women to host my favorite show is beyond an honor." Her debut as the host of "Love Island USA" marks another milestone in her career, blending her charm and authenticity into the hosting role.
For young fans, Madix's story is one of resilience and self-assuredness. Despite facing online criticism and personal challenges, she continues to thrive, embracing new opportunities and standing firm in her individuality.
