Love Island USA’s Miguel Harichi was not playing around while addressing rumors that he has been unfaithful to Leah Kateb.
Miguel, 27, shared a since-deleted TikTok on Wednesday, July 16, where he called out a social media user claiming to have seen him cheating on Leah, 25.
“This fool here, she has a lot to say. According to this absolute buffoon, I was caught with the season 7 cast [of Love Island USA] chatting it up with other girls and giving her the eyes and taking numbers and all this nonsense,” Miguel said. “First and foremost, I am in New York right now. Secondly, why would you say I am with people that I wasn’t with? I haven’t even met any of the season 7 cast.”
Miguel made it clear he had no patience for the false accusations.

“This fool right here is claiming I was out in the streets moving loose,” he continued. “I don’t know why she feels the need to say this stuff and I was going to ignore it, but I keep getting tagged nonstop and my girl is getting tagged.”
In the video, Miguel showed several comments from the person “trying to battle” him about allegedly being out in Los Angeles without Leah, to which he replied, “I don’t think I even know what [this club] is. I haven’t met Taylor [Williams]. What are you on? There is nothing to explain. She needs to explain her lies and delusions and nonsense.”
Miguel concluded: “Anyone that thinks it is OK to lie to boost themselves up at the expense of others is sick and needs help. You need help. Don’t do it. At least see me out in the club. I haven’t been in a club since I left the villa.”
Leah subsequently jumped in to share her thoughts on the situation.
“She’s been making videos about me since I got in the villa and I don’t know this bitch but please give her the attention she wants so badly,” she added. “I feel so bad because she only gets attention when she talks about other people — just shut the f*** up. Clout is a drug and that bitch is high.”

Love Island USA viewers had a front row seat to Leah and Miguel’s love story since they met on season 6, which aired in June 2024. After leaving the villa as a couple, their connection has only gotten stronger.
“I never get tired of him and I feel like he offers me so much insight. He is really wise and he calms me down in so many ways,” Leah exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2024 about being “obsessed” with Miguel. “I feel like he always has me laughing and he is so patient with me and very receptive to everything. He is the happiest, most pure person.”
Two months later, Miguel noted how serious he was about a future with Leah after fans noticed him calling her his “wife.”
“She’s not my wife legally. We haven’t gone and got married, but for me, I just view her as my wife. When I date, I date for marriage,” he told Us in December 2024. “I don’t see any short-term things. Even though we aren’t married yet, I just view her as my woman, my second half, my wife. For me, it’s another way of putting her as my queen, my princess.”
