Episode 1 of Beyond the Villa promptly reminded viewers that things quickly went south for Kendall and Nicole between the Love Island USA season 6 finale and the explosive confrontation they had at the reunion. Even though he is straight, Kendall's leaked naked videos went viral and unleashed a flood of antigay comments due to which body parts he showed in the resurfaced leaks.

"Obviously the video is not OK. Nobody deserves that. That is fucked up," Nicole said at the season 6 reunion. However, she added that the leaked content was filmed "in the hotel room before you go on the show; [sending it] to someone on a dating app."

On Beyond the Villa, Kendall was able to tell his side of the story. "Last time I spoke with Nicole was when we broke up," he said in a confessional. "We walked off stage and I flew back to Dallas. I started working, and we tried to talk things through… And then the reunion aired."

According to Kendall, they "had a phone call" after the reunion aired, which was "the last time we spoke."

The next scene from Love Island: Beyond the Villa episode 1 circled back to Kendall at a table with his season 6 costars Kaylor Martin, Liv Walker, and Connor Newsum. "I feel like I had no backbone in that," Kendall told them.

Liv replied, "What you went through was… Don't say you don't have backbone, that makes me upset."

"You didn't let it drag you down," Connor agreed.

Kaylor also sided with Kendall. "When you love someone, you don't do that on camera," comparing Nicole's reaction to the things that Kaylor only found out from her Love Island partner, Aaron Evans, at the reunion.

Peacock's new Beyond the Villa spinoff premiered after the Love Island USA season 7 finale on Sunday night. As previously reported, the show centers on the superstar islanders of season 6 as they reunite in Los Angeles to spend a few days together — now, outside of the villa, and almost a full year after their season ended.

Even though Nicole wasn't featured in this first episode of the spinoff, she has been named as a cast member in it, which means that more on-camera developments about her breakup with Kendall might be featured in the spinoff.

Love Island: Beyond the Villa is streaming on Peacock.
