Nic's lip

Nic Vansteenberghe from season 7 of Love Island USA is out of the villa and clarifying rumors from the season … and he started with his bruised and blistered bottom lip.

The Islander who left Fiji coupled up with Olandria was a guest on the Chicks In the Office and set the record straight. “Is saw a lot of videos about my lip being busted and I have diseases.”

“This is my statement …”

“Let me just say,” began Nic, “We were playing American football. Charlie, being from the UK, has never really played. So, I was defending him and he head-butted me in the lip.”

“I got this mean blister thing on my lip from getting hit by his head.”

Kindly, Nic requested, “If people could please stop making those videos about me having all sorts of diseases. I saw some crazy AI stuff, but it was from American football.”

Nic also jumped at the opportunity to let the audience know the editors did him dirty in the edit of the boys playing basketball. “I was hoopin’ on those dudes.”

Where the rumor started:

One of my favorite couplings Nic had this season (besides Nicolandria and Nic and his giant zit) was Nic and his fat lip.

Nic may feel like Joey Tribbiani when he did the ads for venereal disease, but fans got endless chuckles from the memes and edits.

Nic’s alleged cold sore appeared after the “Got Wood?” challenge, where Islanders were encouraged to make out with multiple contestants.
