‘Love Island's' Kendall Washington Says It's 'Unfortunate' His Intimate Video Leaked Online: ‘Something I Shared In Confidence’
'Love Island USA' finalist Kendall Washington is having to put his "mental health resources" into high-gear after an intimate and private video was leaked.
Although Washington finished out the cult-favorite show on a high alongside fellow contestant Nicole Jacky, he was unfairly exposed when a private video which seemingly featured him circulated online.
'RealityTidbit' reported that the video showing the contestant involved in an intimate setting went viral on X, formerly known as Twitter, as he appears to be on a double bed before turning around toward the camera.

Fans were shocked to see the reality TV star in his birthday suit. However, fans were standing against leaking anyone's private footage. "I feel really bad for him, yes we all have our opinions of him but no one deserves that to happen to them on such a huge platform," one fan argued.
Kendall — who seemingly remained level-headed during the leak — took to his Instagram to address the footage, as well as take the time to thank his supporters and all those who watch the show.
"That was something I shared to someone in confidence and trust. It's unfortunate that it's no longer private but it is what it is. I want to thank you all for the calls/texts to support me during this time," Washington penned in his Instagram Story.
"I am so grateful for my love island experience and I love you all for tuning in to watch my journey. Excited for what's next [red heart emoji]." he concluded.
Although he doesn't seem much concerned, the content took off on X, and even left some fans wondering what that means for his reality tv show beau Nicole. "That's sad because if they are in love, did he tell her?"one fan was left asking.
'Love Island' is a dating game show following a group of singles who pair up, break up, and do more for a chance to win a cash prize and of course, love. The USA version of the show, which has aired for 6 seasons, is available to stream on Netflix.
