After a nasty argument with Jeff Christian during Season 4 of Love Island: USA, Nadjha Day left the show.
She admitted that Jeff had more “outbursts” than what were depicted in the episodes during a departure interview.

The surviving Islanders had to choose which of the final five couples they thought would get along the least.
When Deb Chubb and Jesse Bray replaced Phoebe Siegel and Chad Robinson, Jeff Christian was furious because he felt that Jesse Bray had retreated when Deb Chubb rejected his request of exclusivity.

It led to a heated discussion with Timmy Pandolfi before things finally subsided. Nadjha Day expressed her regret to Timmy, which infuriated Jeff even more and caused him to slur at her.
She couldn’t figure it out and made the decision to leave the villa because she no longer saw herself with Jeff. He left after her. She spoke with After the Island after leaving, spilling details of Jeff’s additional “outbursts” that weren’t included in the episodes.
Jeff reportedly had more off-camera ‘outbursts’
Nadja claimed that he frequently became envious over “small things” and would accuse her of covertly eye-gazing others while wearing sunglasses.
She claimed she “devoted” herself to him outside of Casa Amor, but he didn’t believe her, and it got to be too much for her. She acknowledged that “most” of the other cast members were aware of Jeff’s behavior because it had occurred repeatedly when questioned if they had noticed it.

In front of other Islanders, she recalled a moment when he became irate with her and “popped off” at her. Sydney Paight allegedly observed Jeff’s tantrums and informed Nadjha that she didn’t believe they were “OK.”
The native of Atlanta claimed she spoke with him about it and acknowledged that she and other Islanders had observed indications of “possessiveness,” which, in Nadjha’s opinion, “triggered” him. Then, she alleged, he yelled at the cast about it, which caused Sydney to prefer to avoid the conflict. No one approached Jeff about his outburst, according to Nadjha, since they didn’t want to be the one who had to deal with it. After the interview, Jeff and Nadjha started hanging out together, which led to reports that the pair had reconciled.

During Week 2, Jeff made his first appearance in the villa and made friends with Zeta Morrison, who had just recently lost her boyfriend Timmy Pandolfi to newbie Bria Bryant.
Near the conclusion of the week, he focused on bombshell Nadjha who had just entered. Although they got along well and dated, they didn’t build a strong relationship before Casa Amor launched.

Jeff wanted to pay attention to Nadjha, who appeared to have a close relationship with Nicholas “Nic” Birchall, a Venezuelan. He therefore arrived back at the villa alone. His deeds convinced Nadjha that she should end her relationship with Nic in order to pursue their relationship.
As Nadjha taught him Spanish, they appeared to be a close pair. After spending a night alone in the Hideaway Suite, their relationship became even stronger. They also joyfully presented their families to one another over video chat, clearly reaffirming their intention to stick together even when they were away from the villa. It didn’t last long, though, as the two ultimately left the island just before the finals.
