MAJORCA, SPAIN: Phoebe Siegel joined the cast of 'Love Island USA' in Season 4 and was eliminated on the 30th day. She was undoubtedly one of the most memorable contestants as sparks flew between her and Chad Robinson. While the thought of starring in a reality TV show sounds exciting, sometimes the participants receive online hate for no reason. Unfortunately, a similar incident happened with Siegel as her indecisive move from one man to another in 'Love Island USA' wasn't taken lightly by the angry netizens.
Since the 'Love Island UK' cast members have had successful careers after starring in the reality show, it's interesting to learn what their US counterparts are up to these days. And as Siegel is only in her early 20s, she has her entire future ahead of her, so naturally, the fans of the show have been curious about her whereabouts.
Phoebe Siegel continues her studies at the University of Michigan
Siegel, hailing from Bedford Hills, NY, is a professional model represented by EMG Models. She was already pursuing her degree at the University of Michigan College of Literature, Science, and the Arts during her stint on 'Love Island USA'. Currently, in her early 20s, Siegel was still pursuing her Bachelor's degree while making strides in the modeling industry. While juggling her studies, she landed a modeling gig with Miami Art Basel in October 2022, and she proudly showcased it on her Instagram. She graduated with a degree in Sociology in 2023, as stated by the reality star's LinkedIn profile.
Siegel candidly discussed her departure from 'Love Island USA' in a September 2022 interview with The List, revealing that she had received "death threats" from strangers online, which took a toll on her. The model, who identifies as a hardcore feminist, believes her words from the show have been misconstrued and twisted. Among the hurtful comments directed at her, the most devastating one she mentioned was, "You deserve everything that's coming for you. You deserve what people are saying about you. You deserve all of this."
During the same interview, the model mentioned her return to the University of Michigan following her departure from the show. Adjusting to this new phase of her life, she admitted to feeling a mix of emotions, mourning her old life while embracing the exciting changes. Siegel's newfound reality star status would likely have made her more recognizable among fellow students, adding a layer of complexity to her experience. She even expressed her desire to continue dating Robinson, stating, "Chad and I, we hung out outside of the villa right after we left. We're in Michigan. We've been texting and communicating, and we intend on seeing each other." However, their relationship didn't progress beyond friendship, as later updated by the reality star in her now-deleted Instagram Stories, informing her fans that they had decided to maintain a platonic connection while keeping in touch.
Furthermore, Siegel took to Instagram after she departed from the reality TV show to address the stress and anxiety caused by social media, an experience many could relate to. In her caption, she openly shared her encounters as a public figure online, stating, "After being home for less than one week and receiving over a thousand death threats from people who don’t even know me, it’s clear to me that there is a bigger problem here. I’m empowered to utilize my platform to voice my experience and help others in similar positions. We’re all just humans trying our best and should be treated with more compassion 🤍 thank you @pagesix for giving me a voice to be heard. If you or someone you know is in emotional distress or considering suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255)."
Apart from modeling, Siegel is currently interning as a Production Assistant at a company called Eventique, as stated by her LinkedIn profile. She has also previously worked as a Creative Assistant and a Marketing intern in different companies while pursuing her degree in Sociology. Siegel also mentions that she's a pre-law student, indicating that she has major career plans in her life apart from being just a reality TV star.
What happened to Phoebe Siegel on 'Love Island USA'?
The 'Love Island USA' Season 4 cast definitely had interesting lives prior to their appearance on the reality series. Siegel's story was quite relatable as she was just a college student when she joined Season 4 of 'Love Island USA', looking to spark romance. After spending some time in the villa, the model ultimately received the news of her elimination on Day 30, which is never a pleasant experience. Upon entering Casa Amor, Siegel developed a liking for Isaiah Campbell, who was already involved with Sydney Paight. This led to the creation of the titillating love triangle that reality TV fans were eager to witness. However, in the end, she pursued a connection with Robinson, and the two embarked on a relationship.
