One Islander was not feeling the love for Sarah Hyland.
On a recent episode of “Love Island USA,” (which is now in its fifth season on Peacock), hosted by “Modern Family’s” Sarah Hyland, 32, Hyland endured an awkward tiff with a contestant, and the fans got outraged.
On Friday’s episode, Hyland announced that Keenan Anunay would be sent home — so his partner, Vickala Gray spoke up and volunteered to leave with him.
Hyland asked Gray if she was sure about that choice since the winning couple gets to go home with $100,000, meaning Gray would give up the chance for that cash.
“Before you go anywhere, I just want to make sure that you are absolutely happy with your decision,” Hyland said.
Fellow Islander Mike Stark asked Hyland, “Why are you saying it like that? It sounds mad disrespectful.”
Hyland appeared shocked, and asked, “I’m being disrespectful?” After he confirmed that he was addressing her, she said, “Okay, then.”
Another Islander, Leonardo Dionicio, intervened to break up this awkward exchange by apologizing on Stark’s behalf, telling Hyland, “Sarah, I apologize for his reaction. I think it’s just the heat of the moment.”
Hyland brushed off the incident by telling him, “Thank you. Boys will be boys, right?”
But, fans weren’t so quick to forget it.
“Oooo u just pissed me off,” one enraged fan proclaimed on X (formerly Twitter). “Sarah Hyland I am on your SIDE.”
“How DARE you come for Sarah Hyland. .. Sarah girl.. Get behind me.. I’ll handle this,” defended another fan.
“Mike…you disrespectful ass WEIRDO!! Not Leo having to check him omg, don’t disrespect Sarah Hyland,” another viewer slammed.
“I know he didn’t just called Sarah Hyland disrespectful. We ride at dawn that’s our Hayley Dunphy!” cracked another one of Hyland’s supporters, referring to her character on “Modern Family,” who she played for 11 seasons.
Hyland, who recently celebrated her first wedding anniversary with “Bachelorette” alum Wells Adams, 39, also recently revealed that she had various health struggles during her time on the show, including being made to wear heels when she suffered from gout, and undergoing two kidney transplants. She even revealed that she struggled with suicidal thoughts during her heath battles.
Although this is Season 5 of “Love Island USA,” it’s only Hyland’s second season hosting the spinoff of the international hit dating show. Arielle Vandenberg previously hosted the USA version.
Hyland and Peacock did not respond when The Post reached out for comment.
