Love Island USA star Dia McGee seems keen to make it clear that she has no feelings for Odell Beckham Jr.
The 27-year-old reality TV personality denied social media speculation that she tried to seduce OG contestant Kordell Beckham to eventually date his older brother, Odell Beckham Jr., during an exclusive interview on Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast.
“If people literally just thought about it for, like, two seconds, logically, do you really think that after I allegedly kissed and dry-fucked Cordell, I would be sitting with his family at Thanksgiving dinner and be like, ‘Hey OBJ, do you want to come in?'” asks Maggie, who had a famously physical relationship with Cordell.
“Does that really make sense?”
Maggie hooked up with 22-year-old Cordell in Season 6’s infamous “Casa Amor” episode, in which the couple was pushed apart and put to the test by being forced to interact with a new group of attractive men and women.
In the end, Cordell opted to bring Maggie back to the main villa, while his former partner, Serena Page, remained single and scorned.
After some heated exchanges between the three, it became clear to Maggie that Cordell still had feelings for 24-year-old Paige, and he ended his relationship with the actor and model. (Cordell and Paige eventually rekindled their romance and are now a couple again in the unscripted series, but Paige eventually developed a friendship with Maggie.)
Amid the feud, the cast, known to fans as the “Islanders,” took part in a challenge to find out what the public was saying about them in real time online. New episodes of the show are edited often within a day of filming and air five days a week.
In the segment, McGee was accused of having a crush on NFL hunk Odell, 31, and leaving flirty comments on his Instagram page. The visibly upset influencer slammed the notion with the cameras rolling, claiming the perception didn’t match up with her reality.
McGhee later revealed that her ex-boyfriend had dinner with the Miami Dolphins wide receiver and shared photos from the night out on social media, but that was the only time she was able to make sense of such internet activity.

“My excuse is, ‘I’m sure [photo] “I’ve never liked or commented on any photos with your brother in them because my ex-boyfriend went to dinner with him. I don’t think your brother posted them, my ex-boyfriend posted them and I commented on them,” the Los Angeles resident said.
“They had three pictures of him and this brother. They’re not friends, they just happened to be having dinner together,” she continued, emphasizing that she was frustrated by this “fake” narrative, “and if anyone wants to see my highlights, there are literally three images of them together on my Instagram story.”
In one of the allegedly doctored images, McGhee’s account posts a heart emoji underneath a photo of O’Dell, but the heart emoji is inexplicably blurred next to the comment.
“I was really disappointed that the comment was picked up at all because I feel like any fact-checker would have easily been able to see that it was Photoshopped,” she explained.
“There’s a heart symbol where you can like a comment, and mine is like half a heart symbol and it’s obviously photoshopped. I’m like, ‘You guys didn’t think to check before you added it in there.'”
Meanwhile, Maggie, a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community who finished up on Love Island USA last week, claims that athletes aren’t her type – in fact, she prefers musicians.
“I, [Kordell’s] “Bro, that’s never gonna happen,” she said, adding, “Plus, if anyone wants to know, my celebrity idol is Kehlani.”
“Love Island USA,” hosted by Ariana Madix, is available to stream on Peacock.
