Kara Leona Bass did not raise her voice. She drew a line. Confronted with two completely different versions of the same poolside conversation, the 90 Day: Hunt for Love star said the words now splitting the fandom in half: “Someone’s lying, and if it is JT that’s lying, that’s a problem. I don’t like people who are lying on women.”
Days later, TLC’s own episode description delivered the fallout. According to reports, Kara is turning her attention to Skyler Beale after Josh “JT” Thompson makes a misstep — and the question tearing up fan groups is brutally simple. Who started the gossip about Kara and Jamal?
The Pool Conversation With Two Versions
Everyone agrees on one thing: during a group date, the subject of Kara allegedly spending late nights in Jamal Menzies’ hotel room came up. Everything after that depends on who you believe.
According to JT’s account, Emma Perry pulled him aside at the pool and asked how he felt about Kara being in Jamal’s room at two or three in the morning. According to Emma, it was JT who brought up Kara and Jamal’s late-night chats. There is no confirmed evidence, according to reports, that Kara and Jamal are anything more than friends — which is exactly why the rumor stings.
When Kara confronted Emma and Jamal, she refused to pick a winner on the spot. Instead she made honesty the test itself.
Why Kara’s Line in the Sand Matters
This is not Kara’s first rodeo with a man who does not fully accept her life. Her marriage to Guillermo Rojer collapsed on 90 Day: The Last Resort, where his objections to her adult content work became a central fracture. On Hunt for Love, she told JT about that work herself during their hot tub date.

So was Guillermo when Kara met him. Kara herself flagged the parallel early in the season, questioning whether JT has the maturity she expects.
Skyler: The Quiet Second Option
Enter Skyler Beale, the man waiting in the wings since the start. The Hawaii-born, Tampa-based Marine Corps veteran holds an MBA and describes himself as calm in the chaos — a sharp contrast to a resort week built on whispered rumors.
Skyler was already one of the two men competing for Kara’s attention when TLC described her as torn between two men on October 12. By November 2, according to reports, the official description had her redirecting toward Skyler. None of this means they become a couple — TLC says only that she turns her attention his way.
The Emma Pattern Fans Keep Pointing To
Kara’s row is not the only “liar” fight swirling around Emma Perry. In a separate confrontation, Chloe Fabiano accused Emma of lying about the Brian Burt kiss, saying she had confided in Emma about her interest in Brian before the kiss happened. Emma denied knowing about Chloe’s serious interest until after the kiss, and Brian backed Chloe’s version, according to reports.
Team Emma has a ready answer: nobody owned Brian, and she locked in with Jamal that same night. Team Chloe — and now, apparently, Team Kara — sees a pattern instead of a coincidence.
What Happens Next
90 Day: Hunt for Love airs Mondays at 8/7c on TLC. So pick a side, because Kara already has her rule on the table. If JT lied, that is a problem. If Emma started the rumor, that is a problem too. And if neither of them is telling the full truth, Kara just showed the whole resort what she does with problems: she moves on. Are you Team JT, Team Emma — or Team Skyler?
