Love Island USA: Valerie Addresses Drama With Outer Banks' Chase Stokes

Valerie Bragg's time on Love Island USA was not her first time in the spotlight, as her name was on every Outer Banks fan's tongue at the end of 2021. The islander had one drunken night out in Orlando, Florida, in late December and somehow ended up the bane of Outer Banks fans' existence when she hooked up with the show's star Chase Stokes. Chase plays the show's main character, John Booker Routledge, mostly known as John B, and his character is in a relationship with Sarah Cameron. In real life, Chase was dating the actress who plays Sarah, Madelyn Cline.

Unfortunately, the two went their separate ways in November 2021, and on a night out in Florida, Valerie allegedly became the actor's rebound. Little did they know, someone was recording them, and when the video started circling around online, Outer Banks fans had themselves a new enemy. Fans quickly started blaming Valerie for Chase and Madelyn's split, calling the Love Island contestant a homewrecker and harassing her on social media. The situation got so out of hand that Valerie had to post a video on TikTok explaining that she had nothing to do with Chase's breakup and that the two are not together.

No matter how much Valerie tries to escape the drama, it continues to follow her after her appearance on Love Island USA. After her elimination, she's had a few podcast appearances, one being The Wayne Ayers Podcast. After discussing her time on Love Island, the host asked Valerie about the drama with Chase, and she couldn't believe that people still cared. Valerie couldn't help but laugh as she admitted that she still gets criticism from Outer Banks fans over the situation. The Love Island contestant explained the situation on The Wayne Ayers Podcast from her own perspective, saying, "I was literally just drunk in a club. [Chase] comes up to me and starts making out with me."

Valerie insisted that if any of the girls attacking her on social media were in her position, they would've kissed him back too. The contestant also revealed that the actor's fans were commenting on her old Instagram pictures and insisting the guy she was with in the video didn't look like Chase. "I'm, like, somebody take their phone away," the Love Island contestant said. While the star hoped to avoid drama when she joined Love Island USA, it, unfortunately, followed her there too. The islander recently revealed that she didn't feel welcome on the show and that one of the female Love Island contestants made her cry.

There's no joking around when it comes to Outer Banks fans. They clearly take Chase's dating life very seriously, and they don't want to see anyone messing with his relationship. Unfortunately, their anger is misplaced, and Valerie wants nothing to do with the actor or the drama that came along with their December 2021 kiss. She moved on to other men when she joined Love Island USA. Since that didn't work out, hopefully, she can find what she's looking for somewhere else, though she might want to avoid Netflix actors for a while.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms, Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
