LOVE Island star Liberty Poole has hit back at a fan who has speculated about the real reason she’s feuding with pal Kaz Kamwi.
Liberty, 26, and Kaz, 31, were famously best mates following their two stints together in the villa before appearing to stop talking to each other.
The girls had been on holiday together and even recorded their own podcast called Kaz & Lib.
But shortly after Liberty and Kaz returned to the villa for spin-off show Love Island All Stars in 2024, they noticeably started snubbing each other online.
Now Liberty has hit back after some fans discussed the demise of their friendship on the comments of one of her Instagram posts.
It came when one follower wrote: “I do miss your friendship with Kaz but as they say time to move on I’m afraid.”
Another fan then replied: “What happened with her and Kaz?”
To which the first follower said: “They had a disagreement with her partner or a guy she was dating.
“I think Kaz said to liberty, ‘I don’t trust him not 100 percent.’
“And that is how they fell out, or it happened that way, though not sure fully but they did fall out.”
But Liberty saw the exchange and wrote back: “Hey that’s fake news, I’ll always have love for Kaz and want to see her do well even at a distance.”
The feud last came to light last year, when Liberty was asked by a follower on a TikTok during a Q&A with fans.: “Are you still friends with Kaz?”
Echoing her latest comment, and rather than reply with a firm “yes”, the Islander rather said: “I will always have love for Kaz x.”
Liberty repeated herself with the identical response when someone else questioned: “Are you still friends with Kaz cause makes me sad don’t see use together, I love the friendship use had [SIC].”
She again replied: “I will always have love for Kaz x.”
Liberty’s telltale comment came few weeks after Kaz also appeared to confirm their fallout on her social media.
It came when she recorded a video for her own TikTok in which she spoke about why she had cut certain people out of her life.
The reality star captioned the video: “Why aren’t you friends with them anymore?”
Wearing a burgundy mini dress, she filmed a clip of herself miming to lyrics from track Bhad Bhabie by Ms. Whitman.
“You dumb enough to think I’d tell you anything. I wouldn’t tell you want colour socks I’ve got on,” Kaz mimed.
Kaz’s fans were quick to speculate that the video was a direct swipe at Liberty.
One commented on the TikTok: “Everyone is saying it’s about Liberty.”
A second posted: “I was wondering why you two were never together no more.”
Other followers simply posted a Statue of Liberty emoji, hinting it’s about her former Brummie pal.
The girls first sparked rumours of a rift in April 2024.
Fans had quickly noticed Liberty had deleted the link to their podcast show from her Instagram bio without explanation.
She also shared a glam snap to her Instagram Story, writing: “For all the nice girls out there keep being you [heart emoji] nice doesn’t mean boring it’s just having morals while still being a boss love you.”
Liberty was later asked why she was never seen out with her Love Island pals – including Kaz – and she brushed it off, saying: “It’s just every time events come up I’ve had a family thing, or I’ve been away or been with my friends from home.
“They’ve had big things going on in their lives, obviously you guys know me, I always like to be there to support the people that mean the most to me. That’s literally all it is.”
