Love Island USA star Leah Kateb Cuts Ties with Brooke Schofield After Podcast Scandal Erupts
On a recent episode of the Cancelled podcast, co-host Brooke Schofield casually revealed that Leah Kateb, a star from Love Island USA, has blocked her after appearing on the show. This surprising turn of events is linked to Brooke’s summer controversy, which led fans to boycott the podcast due to a series of her problematic tweets that resurfaced, labeled as “racist” and “homophobic.”
Between 2012 and 2016, Brooke posted a number of controversial comments, including slurs against the LGBTQ+ community, support for former President Donald Trump, and a defense of George Zimmerman, the man who infamously killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in 2012. While Brooke issued a groveling apology for her past remarks, many fans, including Leah, have refused to accept her justification.
During the episode, host Tana Mongeau expressed her admiration for Leah, stating, “I love Leah so much. I would love to have her on again.” In a somewhat awkward moment, Brooke responded, “She blocked me,” prompting laughter from both hosts. However, Leah wasted no time addressing the situation on TikTok, where she clarified her stance. In a pointed comment, she said, “I’m not going back. I take this topic very seriously. You guys know where my head and heart lie. The black community has always and will always have my full support. I’m always willing to learn more.”
Leah’s decision to block Brooke quickly gained traction on social media, with fans rallying behind her and condemning Brooke for her past actions. One user expressed their disgust, commenting, “This honestly disgusts me to a NEW degree. For her to bring up Leah blocking her KNOWING it’s because she’s a raging racist, then laughing about it puts a new level of rage.” Another user remarked, “Ngl, Brooke had me fooled, but now it’s obvious she’s rotten inside.”

This incident not only sheds light on the importance of accountability in the digital age but also showcases Leah’s commitment to supporting the black community. As the conversation unfolds online, Leah’s principled stance resonates with many, reinforcing the call for awareness and change in the public discourse surrounding racism and social justice.
