‘Love Island’ star Taylor Williams suffers brutal injury after being thrown from horse in Arizona rodeo
“Love Island USA” star Taylor Williams suffered a brutal injury after being thrown from his horse while attending the Arizona Invitational Black Rodeo in Scottsdale.
A clip of the accident shared on social media Friday night showed the reality TV star’s horse tripping over another before falling to the ground.
Williams appeared to get stuck underneath the animal’s body as it rolled over him. He laid on the ground for some time before officials finally helped him.
Williams, 24, confirmed the accident and gave an update on his health Saturday via his Instagram Stories as he promoted his upcoming appearance at 11:11 nightclub in the area.
“Was in a horse accident last night but I’m still pulling up tonight injured and all!” he wrote. “It’s my brother’s bday [you know] we still turnt!”
He followed up the post with a picture of himself laying on a stretcher and wearing a neck brace, which he captioned, “Preciate all the love! I’m all good.”
He also received some love and well wishes from his fellow “Love Island USA” co-star Jaylen Brown, who wrote that he was “sending all my prayers and positive vibes” to his friend “for a speedy recovery.”
Williams responded, “Preciate it dawg,” and added a light blue heart emoji.
Williams appeared on Season 7 of the Peacock dating series and fans quickly came to recognize the cowboy-hat wearing star for his affinity for country life.
The Oklahoma native first coupled up with fan-favorite Olandria Carthen, but ultimately ended his run on the show in a couple with Casa Amor bombshell Clarke Carraway.
The pair made it all the way to the show’s penultimate episode when they were voted off the island.
The couple is still together and are currently working on “making [their] relationship work” outside of the villa, according to Williams’ July interview with Variety.
“We started talking about the real world. I want her to come to Oklahoma, and I’ll go see her in Charlotte,” Williams said, referring to his hometown of Oklahoma City.
“We’ve had conversations about seeing each other outside the villa and making our relationship work.”
