Two Hudas, One Week of Chaos: Love Triangles, Cast Unfollows & a Beauty Brand in Hot Water
Whew, chile… the Huda Hotline is ringing off the hook this week, and the drama is piping hot. We’ve got Huda Mustafa stepping into her red-carpet era with Louis Russell while Perfect Match is still streaming—and Huda Kattan serving controversy so spicy it might just get her beauty empire unplugged. Let’s get into it.
Huda Mustafa & Louis Russell: The Reality TV Red Carpet Ambush
So picture this: July 31, Weapons premiere, cameras flashing, and here come Huda Mustafa (Love Island USA) and Louis Russell (Perfect Match) holding hands like they just walked out of a rom-com. Cute? Yes. Perfect timing? Absolutely not.
Why? Because Perfect Match Season 3 had just started streaming, and this “hard launch” basically told viewers, “Don’t bother getting invested, we’ve already jumped to the season finale.”
Rachel Recchia, who has never been afraid to use her outside voice, called the move “selfish”, saying it ruins the experience for the whole cast. Translation: Huda and Louis didn’t just break the fourth wall—they bulldozed it with a forklift.
And then came the social media unfollows. Miguel Harichi and his girlfriend Leah Kateb hit that unfollow button on Louis so fast you’d think it was a reflex. Miguel swears it’s not “about Huda,” but more about why the relationship happened. The shade was polite, but still—“walking two different paths” sounds like code for I don’t like the road you’re on, boo.
Huda Kattan: From Contour Queen to Controversy Magnet
Over in the beauty world, the other Huda—Huda Kattan—decided to hop on TikTok with a history lesson nobody asked for. In it, she blamed Israel for World Wars I & II, 9/11, and the Hamas October 7 attack. That’s not just wild—that’s full-blown “Did you just say that on camera?” energy.
TikTok snatched the video down faster than a Black Friday palette restock, citing misinformation. But the damage was done—Jewish advocacy groups came for her edges, petitions started circulating to get Sephora to drop Huda Beauty, and now Sephora’s “reviewing the matter internally.” Translation: they’re in the boardroom sipping lattes and deciding if they’re ready for that kind of PR smoke.
The Week in Huda Headlines
One Huda is in trouble for too much love, the other for too much mouth, and both have social media lit up like Times Square. Between cast shade, friendship breakups, beauty brand boycotts, and Sephora side-eye, the moral of the story is clear: sometimes the soft launch is the better launch.
If you thought this week was messy, just wait until the next episode drops—and Sephora makes their final call. Something tells me both Hudas are just getting started… and I have my popcorn ready.
