Description

This week on Olay & Friends, we unpack the blatant colorism Chelley and Olandria faced on Love Island — from how they were treated in the villa to the way viewers responded. We dig into the patterns that keep showing up on dating shows, why darker-skinned Black women continue to get the worst of it, and why audiences still pretend it’s “just preference.” This episode is about naming the bias, the harm, and the reality TV culture that refuses to evolve.
