Newly introduced Love Island USA contestant Tierra Davis faced serious legal allegations years before securing a spot on the reality dating show.
Public court records reveal that a young woman obtained a restraining order against the reality star following a physical altercation and an alleged firearm threat.
Legal documents from 2018 outline a volatile dispute between Tierra and a woman named Shayla Woodard. Shayla, who was 16 at the time, filed for formal legal protection against Tierra, who was 17.
According to the filed court statements, a physical fight broke out between the two teenagers due to deep-seated jealousy surrounding an ex-boyfriend.
Shayla claimed in the paperwork that Tierra physically assaulted her during the confrontation.
The documentation states that the encounter quickly escalated beyond a physical fight, prompting the younger teenager to seek immediate intervention from local authorities.
The official court records highlight a dangerous escalation during the teenage dispute. Shayla alleged that after the initial physical altercation, Tierra threatened to pull out a gun and shoot her.
Fearing for her personal safety and anticipating further retaliation, Shayla ran to the local court system to file for an emergency restraining order.
The court ultimately granted the protective order to keep the future reality TV personality away from the teenager.
The historical revelation surfaces just as Tierra enters the spotlight as a bombshell contestant on the current season of Love Island USA.
