Love Island USA Season 7 Episode 9: Ace Greene sparks outrage by celebrating Amaya¡¯s bombshell kiss while flirting with Chelley

The drama in Love Island USA Season 7 is hotter than ever, and one name keeps popping up¡ªfor all the wrong reasons¡ªAce Greene.

In week one, Ace made a beeline for Amaya Espinal, only to suddenly pivot toward Chelley (who herself is torn between Ace and Austin). Exploring connections is part of the game, but fans lost patience when Ace openly celebrated after her intimate session with a new bombshell.

Ace celebrates after Jalen kisses Amaya

Episode 9 turned up the heat when Pepe Gonzalez, Jalen Brown, and Iris Kendall walked into the villa and instantly disrupted every connection. What started as a fun ¡°kiss and tell¡± challenge quickly got turned into drama central. When Jalen swooped in and kissed Amaya, Ace couldn¡¯t hide his glee, shouting, ¡°Yes, I finally got rid of her,¡± even though Amaya had spent most of the episode barely acknowledging him.

Social media is slamming Ace

On Reddit¡¯s Love Island USA subreddit, a post titled ¡°Ace is so obnoxious!¡± went viral as viewers rallied against his behaviour. The post accused Ace of using Amaya for his own benefit in the beginning, but making her vulnerable after he developed a crush on Chelley.

One user raged, ¡°Like childish beyond reason. I don¡¯t understand how that isn¡¯t a turnoff and dealbreaker for anyone witnessing his behavior.¡± Another pointed out, ¡°Bro was literally saying ¡®YES¡¯ while they were making out. He really hates her, and if he wasn¡¯t feeling her, then why would he choose her and waste her time? ??¡± A third wrote, ¡°The fact that Amaya didn¡¯t do anything to warrant all this is what gets me.¡±

One TikToker¡¯s deep dive on Ace¡¯s actions hit home for many fans: ¡°He is all about control and image, so he has to be over the top because the cameras cannot catch him looking upset that ¡®his girl¡¯ is being taken. He¡¯s very aware of the camera and editing narratives. I don¡¯t think Chelley will ever see the real him in this villa.¡±

And a viewer noted: ¡°That man is so insufferable; I have beef with so many of the cast members (not actually just being dramatic).¡±

Ace tries to win over Chelley

While Ace keeps his distance from Amaya, he¡¯s doubled down on Chelley, pulling off a sugar?sweet breakfast date (with Taylor¡¯s help) to clear the air. Chelley confessed she still feels torn between Ace and Austin, turning their connection into one of the season¡¯s most explosive love triangles¡ªespecially with recoupling right around the corner. As the villa¡¯s alliances shift and tensions rise, viewers are left wondering if Ace¡¯s strategy will pay off or if his antics will finally backfire

Meanwhile, Ace¡¯s flip?flopping has driven a wedge between Amaya and Chelley, and fans are now urging Amaya to branch out, pursue new connections, and walk away from him.
