'Love Island USA': TJ Down Bad As Iris and Pepe Grow Closer Following His Exit

Love Island USA contestant TJ Palma doesn't appear to be in a good head space since his shocking exit from the show.

Last week, TJ was evicted from the Peacock show and has taken his break-up from Iris Kendall incredibly hard. To make matters worse, he's been forced to deal with her seamlessly moving on with Pepe.

After admitting on TikTok that he considered Pepe to be a friend and older brother in the villa, the dumped Islander was very surprised when Pepe didn't vote to save him from elimination.

In subsequent posts, TJ has appeared to struggle with the reality that Iris and Pepe are now an item.

While on a recent livestream, TJ was apparently informed by the chat that Iris and Pepe have allegedly gotten closer. "At least I fucking...went camping," he responded.

Following his departure, TJ received a heartfelt message from Iris.

"Everything that we did together, in the short amount of time that we had together, it was truly amazing, and I'm not going to forget you, so don't worry," she said. "And I'm really, really grateful to have met such a wonderful guy like you. I had a great time, and I'm really gonna miss you."

Another rumor doing the rounds is that Iris wanted to leave the Island when TJ was dumped, but production kept her there — that's allegedly what her roommate claimed.
