'Love Island' alum Huda Mustafa has found herself in the middle of a storm after her boyfriend Louis Russell's ex-partner and baby mama, Nicole Olivera, accused her of harassment. Here's what we know.
Things are not going great for reality TV star Huda Mustafa. The Love Island alum has found herself at the centre of a serious controversy after her boyfriend's ex, Nicole Olivera, reportedly sought legal protection against her. Mustafa is facing a flood of criticism online after reports stated that she attempted to enter Olivera's house and made disturbing threats.
According to court filings cited by multiple reports, Olivera has requested a restraining order after alleging that Mustafa threatened her family, including her and Russell's child, and tried to forcefully barge into her apartment building in Los Angeles.
In court documents obtained by TMZ, Huda Mustafa allegedly made "terrifying" and "extremely mentally unstable" remarks during a heated confrontation with Nicole Oliver, after which she threatened to harm herself. She reportedly directed alarming comments towards Olivera and her child, whom she shares with Louis Russell. Mustafa's mental state was questioned after she allegedly swore on her daughter's life that she would kill herself before making the threats.
According to Olivera's filing, the said incident occurred in late February 2026, when Mustafa arrived at her apartment building in Los Angeles, threatening to knock down the doors if she did not respond. Fearing for her and her child's safety, Olivera reportedly contacted authorities, and records show she made a call to the police on February 21, 2026, regarding a person allegedly showing aggressive behaviour and threatening self-harm. However, no official report was registered.
Olivera has mentioned that before this incident, the reality TV star had been harassing her on social media as well, and the threats raised serious concerns about both her own safety and that of her son. Following the complaint, the court has reportedly approved a temporary restraining order against Huda Mustafa.
A Los Angeles judge recently approved a restraining order against Nicole Olivera for protection against Huda Mustafa. The TRO states that Mustafa must remain at least 100 yards away from Olivera, her children, and her home. She cannot make any sort of contact with Olivera, be it directly through calls or texts, or indirectly, such as via social media.
The TRO will reportedly stay in effect until the formal hearing, and thereafter, it will be determined whether the restraining order should be extended or made permanent. If Mustafa is found in violation of the TRO, she could face further legal penalties and even be arrested.
Neither Mustafa nor her partner, Louis Russell, has publicly commented on the incident, and the former looks unfazed by the noise. Amid the TRO drama, she recently posted steamy photos with Russell from a gym session, suggesting that the controversy has not put a strain on their relationship.
Huda Mustafa was first linked with the Netflix star in 2024 after being seen in public on multiple occasions. It was eventually in 2025 that the couple confirmed their romance, and they have since shared numerous PDA moments on each other's social media. Before Russell, she was in a long-term relationship with her ex, Noah Sheline, with whom she welcomed a daughter, Arleigh, in 2020.
While little information is available about Louis Russell's baby mama, some outlets have reported that Nicole Olivera is an actress and social media personality based in Los Angeles who has appeared on television series such as Bad Escorts.
Huda Mustafa, 25, is a well-known face on social media and reality television. Born on August 20, 2000, she is of Palestinian descent and rose to prominence as a fitness coach and model, later becoming a fan favourite after she joined the cast of Love Island season 7 in 2025. Controversy has often followed the reality star, and she was banned from Huda Beauty last year after she allegedly made a racial slur.
Mustafa has been an original islander, but she had reportedly been absent from the shooting of Love Island's Beyond the Villa Season 1. Deadline has noted that she will no longer be a part of the show's second season, which is set to premiere on Peacock on April 15, 2026.
