Love Island Star Claims Six Chargers Players DM'd Her After Facility Visit
A former reality TV contestant alleged that NFL players contacted her extensively after she visited the Los Angeles Chargers' training camp.
Jaiden Bacciocco, a contestant on Season 8 of the dating show "Love Island," has claimed that six players from the Los Angeles Chargers sent her direct messages after she visited the team's training facility in August. Bacciocco made the assertion during an appearance on the "Kaylor's Crash Out" podcast.
Bacciocco, who also works as an influencer, visited the Chargers' camp to film content for social media. She stated that after collaborating with some players on TikTok videos and having photos taken, the private messages began. "I was like dude, I was there for football and the vibes. Not to get in your DMs," she told podcast host Kaylor Martin.
She added that the interactions took an unexpected turn when one of the players who had contacted her subsequently blocked her the following day. Bacciocco also mentioned that she generally disregards unsolicited messages from professional athletes, as she is wary of their intentions.
The Los Angeles Chargers' official TikTok account did share clips of Bacciocco touring the team's facilities and interacting with fans during the August training camp. However, Bacciocco did not disclose the names of the specific players who reached out to her, and the official team videos did not highlight interactions with individual stars.
