"Love Island USA" alum Miguel Harichi is finally breaking his silence on the drama with Louis Russell after his GF Leah Kateb unfollowed him -- and yup, there's some serious trouble brewing.

In a lengthy IG post Saturday, Miguel called out folks he used to consider friends for talking smack about his relationship with Leah and letting social media drag her name through the mud, and he wants no part of it.

As for those unfollows? Miguel says it had nothing to do with Louis allegedly dating Huda Mustafa. Remember -- they sparked rumance buzz while attending the "Weapons" movie premiere together earlier this week. Instead, Louis says the whole situation rubbed Leah and her friends the wrong way.

Whatever Louis and Huda have going on now, Miguel says he’s not interested -- and respectfully wants his and Leah’s names out of that storyline.

The fake pic showed Orlando and Angela sharing a romantic candlelit dinner, with a bogus source claiming he "couldn't keep his eyes off Angela." Orlando’s response? A cheeky "👏👏👏!"

You'll see in the social media clip the "Million Dollaz Worth of Game" podcaster held up a Super Bowl trophy and rubbed it in Cam's face that he never earned one -- and the jab didn't sit well with Johnny.

No summertime sadness here ... Lana Del Rey is reflecting on marriage with alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene by sharing a never-before-seen snap from her wedding!

5:46 PM PT -- TMZ wrongly attributed the information to an American Eagle spokesperson when this post was originally published. We have reached out to AE, but they had no comment.

American Eagle's feeling good about its new Sydney Sweeney commercial -- despite all the controversy ... they might have good reason to blow off critics claiming the ad focuses on Nazi-like eugenics, pushing blonde hair and blue eyes as aspirational.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the ad campaign is creating tremendous buzz and their independent polling shows the vast majority of folks -- around 70% -- find the commercial appealing.

The spot centers around Sydney buttoning up some AE jeans and touting her biological makeup, where she breathily says, "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color ... my jeans are blue."
