Huda was photographed last week inside the lobby of the Beverly Hills Hotel, where she appeared to be focusing on business rather than the growing online chatter.

Folks who were there tell us Huda spent time speaking with members of her team, holding what looked to be a serious discussion. Huda appeared calm and composed as she met with her group.

The woman who says she's terrified of "Love Island USA" star Huda Mustafa rushed to court again, begging for her restraining order to be reinstated ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Nicole Olivera, the ex-girlfriend of Huda’s ex, Louis Russell, asked a judge to revive the temporary restraining order prohibiting Huda from coming near her.

The judge signed off on the request and set a hearing for July 1, where a decision will be made on whether to extend the restraining order. For now, the order prohibits Huda from coming near Nicole's home or harassing her in any manner.

As we first told you ... Nicole's restraining order was dismissed for lack of prosecution after her lawyer missed court last week ... but her lawyer said it was his mistake, so the judge reinstated it. Now, the war is back on.

"Love Island USA" Season 8 is heatin' up as we enter Week 2, and while Ariana Madix slays as host of 'LI USA,' Maya Jama has 'LI UK' on lock.

We've got one key question: Who'd You Rather?!

Huda Mustafa's 'Love Island' villa days may be over ... but it looks like she still had a knack for making waves on camera.

As we first reported, in documents we obtained, Huda's ex-BF Louis Russell's baby mama Nicole Olivera alleged in court that the 'Love Island' star tried to break into her L.A. home after sneaking into her apartment complex on February 21, 2026.

TMZ has obtained surveillance footage showing Huda making her way inside the apartment complex of her ex-boyfriend Louis' baby mama, Nicole ... 'cause apparently the only thing she wasn't done coupling up with was controversy.

Check out the video ... as described in the docs, Huda can be seen walking through the property while talking on her phone, making her way through the complex that later became ground zero in her ugly legal battle with Nicole.

The ex-girlfriend of "Love Island USA" star Huda Mustafa's ex-boyfriend Louis Russell looks like she's calling off the dogs ... seemingly dropping her effort to get permanent court-ordered protection from Huda ... weeks after alleged texts of Huda crashing out surfaced.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, there was a hearing today as part of Nicole Olivera's restraining order petition against Huda ... but it looks like Nicole and Huda failed to appear. 

As a result, the judge dissolved all the temporary restraining orders and dismissed the case for lack of prosecution.

Nicole dated and has a child with Louis, the Netflix reality star who recently broke up with Huda. Prior to Huda and Louis' split, Nicole asked the court to order Huda not to come near her or her home.

Huda Mustafa's an unapologetic mother ... and it's something you're gonna hear about immediately if you're thinking about dating her ... especially after her really messy breakup with her ex, Louis Russell.

The newly single "Love Island USA" star got candid on the "Tell Me I'm a Good Mom" podcast, revealing she's tried every possible way of dating and now lays all her cards on the table from the jump.

Huda says years of trial and error taught her one simple lesson ... if someone is truly your person, they'll stick around ... and if having a child scares them off, then they're not your person anyway.
