A former Love Island USA star has tearfully revealed disturbing allegations about her father's abusive behaviour towards her sister, Huda Mustafa, during their childhood.
In an emotional interview, the reality TV personality described witnessing repeated physical violence against her sibling, painting a harrowing picture of their family life.
The Shocking Revelations
The contestant, who appeared on the popular dating show, broke down as she recounted specific incidents where her father allegedly beat Huda. "I'll never forget the screams," she confessed, her voice trembling with emotion.
According to her testimony, the abuse occurred regularly throughout their upbringing, leaving both sisters with lasting psychological scars.
Impact on Reality TV Journey
The star explained how these traumatic experiences affected her time on Love Island USA, where she struggled with trust issues and emotional vulnerability. "Putting myself out there romantically was terrifying because of what we'd been through," she admitted.
Fans of the show may recall her seemingly confident persona, which she now reveals was partly a coping mechanism developed from childhood trauma.
Sister's Silent Suffering
Huda Mustafa's ordeal remained largely hidden until now. The former islander described how her sister bore the brunt of their father's anger while she often escaped relatively unscathed, leaving her with overwhelming survivor's guilt.
"I wish I could have protected her more," she wept, explaining how the sisters have supported each other through years of therapy to process their shared trauma.
Breaking the Silence
By speaking out, the reality star hopes to encourage other abuse survivors to seek help. "No one should endure what we went through," she stated firmly. "If sharing our story helps even one person, it's worth it."
Mental health professionals have praised her courage in coming forward, noting how public figures discussing such personal trauma can significantly raise awareness about domestic abuse.
