However, Maya herself confirmed that\u2019s not the case.<\/p>\n<p>In the comments, she wrote: \u201cI followed them yesterday\u2026 after the show was finished &amp; last time I checked I had free will to follow whoever I like lol.\u201d Maya is clearly on team Toni, Shakira and Yasmin!<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-506108\" class=\"size-large wp-image-506108\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_5119-2-1024x632.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"632\"  \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-506108\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: TikTok<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the series, there was a major divide between the three favourites Yasmin, Toni and Shakira, and Meg, Helena and Megan, who were branded the \u201cbullies\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/2025\/08\/05\/once-and-for-all-shakira-and-toni-share-exactly-what-caused-the-girls-divide-in-the-villa\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Speaking about why the divide formed<\/a> in the first place after leaving the villa, Toni said: \u201cI think that my friends and I were the ones to stand up for what\u2019s right and what\u2019s wrong and we owned everything we said when others weren\u2019t doing the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t agree with a lot of people\u2019s behaviour and were always vocal about it,\u201d she added. So, the divide basically formed because Toni, Yasmin and Shakira weren\u2019t afraid to speak up. We love to see it!<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Heart Article Links\">\u201cWhat it stems from is on day one or day two I was put in a position where I had to graft and so was deemed as a threat,\u201d Shakira added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Heart Article Links\">\u201cFrom then on, I was treated differently. So then I found a friendship with Toni and we sort of flocked together.
