The Los Angeles Chargers are 0-3 and looking for answers. One former “Love Island USA” contestant says some of those answers may have been sitting in her inbox.
Jaiden Bacciocco, a Season 8 Casa Amor bombshell, said on the “Kaylor’s Crash Out” podcast Tuesday that about six Chargers players messaged her after she visited the team’s training camp in August.
“I actually went to the Chargers training camp, and this was so funny: After we left, like six of them DM’d me,” Bacciocco said. “I was like dude, I was there for football, and the vibes. Not to get in your DMs.”
Bacciocco, 22, of Newbury Park, California, entered the villa during Casa Amor, coupled with Caleb McDaniel and was dumped on Day 25. She has since built a following as a lifestyle creator. The Chargers’ TikTok account posted several videos of her at camp last August, according to the New York Post.
She said the messages followed content she made on site.
Wild: Model/Influencer Jaiden Bacciocco says that SIX Chargers players slid into her DMs after the Love Island cast visited training camp.
Multiple players followed her, sent her photos from camp, and started DMing her after the visit.

“I made a TikTok with some of them, and then they followed me. Or they would have photos of us taken, and the guys would send me it in my DM,” Bacciocco said. “And I was like, ‘Oh, that’s sick!’ I was like, ‘OK.’ And then the next day, I was blocked by one of them, and I was like, ‘Oh, OK. I guess you probably have like a girlfriend or something.’ Typical.”
She said she does not reply to that kind of outreach.
“I don’t answer DMs like that because I’m like, if you’re sliding into mine, you’re probably sliding into every girl’s,” Bacciocco said.
Bacciocco did not name the players. The New York Post reported that neither her account nor the Chargers’ TikTok shows her doing content with specific players, and wrote that it is safe to assume quarterback Justin Herbert was not among the six, citing his relationship with fiancée Madison Beer during camp.
The Chargers, coached by Jim Harbaugh, opened the season with losses to the Arizona Cardinals, Las Vegas Raiders and Buffalo Bills and sit last in the AFC West. They play at the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
