Netflix shades Huda on X following Love Island reunion.

According to People, Huda was recently seen on the Red Carpet holding hands with Louis Russell from Too Hot to Handle, which streams on Netflix. After Ariana asked her about her dating life during the reunion, Huda replied that she couldn't discuss it for legal reasons.

"I can't speak about my relationships outside the villa," she said. "Legal reasons. It’s Netflix, I’m not allowed to talk about it.”

Her response prompted Andy to weigh in, and he was a bit spicy.

"Netflix won’t let you say whether you’re dating somebody? ... You were on a red carpet with somebody," he added, referring to Louis. "Is that someone you’re seeing?”

Huda replied again that she could not disclose who she was dating, adding, "I'm so sorry."

"OK. Tell Netflix this was the number one streaming show of the summer," replied Andy.

After the episode dropped, Netflix appeared to respond on X with a cheeky response in its bio that read, "DON’T @ ME IDK!!!"

"Um, the bio," she said before giggling. "Shut up. ... 'I can't speak on it,' because of Netflix ... Whatchu mean you can't speak on it? Because of Netflix? Like, hello!"

Other fans also weighed in on the reunion special and Netflix shade. "Lmaoooo," replied one fan.

"I'm sure it was the man himself wanting her not to speak on it, not Netflix," added another, along with several laughing-crying emojis. Other fans were annoyed that Huda couldn't speak about her relationship.

"Soooo Huda basically admitted her new relationship is for Netflix?… That’s so embarrassing," noted another fan on X. "And here #hudahq was rubbing it in our face. LMAOOO #LoveIslandUSA #LoveIsland."

Following the Netflix shade, Huda shared a message in her Instagram Stories further explaining her response at the reunion.

"I prefer to share details about my relationships on my own terms," she wrote. "Not for a TV show. It has nothing to do with repeated pressure to open up, especially when it's excessive, makes me uncomfortable, and I'd appreciate it if that could be respected. But you'll edit out the amount of times you asked and tried making others answer for me."

The Love Island USA reunion is currently available on Peacock.
