During the Monday, July 8 episode of Peacock’s hit reality show, the cast was confronted with comments from viewers at home on social media. Daia, in particular, was accused by a fan of leaving flirtatious comments Odell Beckham Jr.‘s pages before she pursued his brother, Cordell Beckhamin the show.
“I can’t stand Daia, especially after reading these tweets about her butting into Odell Beckham Jr.’s comments,” reads one post read by a cast member. Leah Katebexplained. “She came to the mansion with a plan and Kordell’s stupid ass fell for it and threw away all the morals he supposedly had before entering the house.”
When Leah read the message from an unknown viewer, Daia was visibly upset and denied the allegations.
“Are you fucking serious? I’ve never done that in my fucking life,” she said before tears started to well up. “I never have. I swear to God. I’m literally going to cry. This is so fucked up. This is a fucking lie. This is really fucking bullshit.”
Shortly after the episode aired, viewers became detectives, searching for evidence. According to one TikTok user, Daia allegedly left two smiling faces with heart eyes emojis on one of Odell’s Instagram posts. However, other users believe the screenshot was photoshopped, with one fan pointing out that the heart in the corner is blurry.
