Love Island Star Vanna Einerson Responds to Backlash About Her Looks, Reveals What Work She’s Had Done and Blames Allergic Reaction, Plus She Discusses Nick and Cierra

Season seven of Love Island USA is currently airing on the Peacock streaming platform. As usual, there has been quite a bit of online chatter about the various couplings on the show. However, this season, Casa Amor bombshell Savanna “Vanna” Einerson has also received quite a bit of attention. Now, she’s weighing in on some of the backlash as well as reacting to the show in general.

Vanna, 21, has been attacked online for her appearance. Notably, many Love Island USA viewers think the bombshell has had extreme plastic surgery and looks way older than her actual age.

Vanna was recently on an episode of The Viall Files podcast, where she opened up about her experience and her relationship with social media backlash from appearing on Love Island. She started by saying, “The first phone call I made before touching social media was to my mom. She had said to me, ‘Maybe don’t go online until you’re home with me.'”

Vanna then said that against her mother’s advice, she decided to go online. “It was really, really hard when I was seeing all of it, and I was in the hotel room with Coco, and Coco was getting a lot of love, but I was getting so much hate,” Vanna said. “I didn’t want to pull her experience down, so I was trying to stay high-spirited because she doesn’t know what I’m going through.”

From there, she discussed when the emotions really hit, saying, “I had a moment where I just broke down crying, and I’m honestly so grateful for Coco that she was there because she sat and prayed over me. The more that I got on my phone, the more that I saw, and even the texts that I was seeing were like, ‘Hey, congrats for being on the show, but like I’m so sorry.'”

She went on to say, “Like, as a girl, I don’t wanna say we’re insecure, but we do have our little things that we think about ourselves, and all the things that these people were pointing out to me, like I never saw in myself. Like, they were kind of pointing out new insecurities, I guess. Like, I’m okay, I’m very secure in myself.”

Vanna then addressed the plastic surgery. She said, “And most of the things people thought I got done, like my cheeks, my chin, and my lips. Lips, duh, I got my lips done. I like my lips, but my cheeks and my chin, I have had for life.”

She went on, “And people were saying like ‘overfilled.’ You guys, I was sleeping on a feather pillow, I was having an allergic reaction every single day.”

Nick Viall and the co-hosts on the show started to reassure Vanna about her looks. Nick even discussed his own experience on TV, where fans dampened his confidence. Vanna continued, “I feel like you get fake lips, and they think everything on your face is fake.” 

Vanna also admitted to having a breast augmentation, and she denied rumors that her mother does injections for her. She finished this part of the conversation by saying, “I wish people could get it together because words hit hard.”

Vanna also reacted to some of the situations from the show. When the hosts asked for her take on Nick and Cierra, she said, “I’m pretty sure in the last episode he kissed, like, Olandria, and that to me was shocking because he was talking about how much he missed Cierra.” She went on to say that she thought Nick and Cierra would make it to the end.
