Yulissa Escobar Dismissed From Love Island After Racist Posts Surface
Love Island USA Season 7 has already seen its fair share of drama, with contestant Yulissa Escobar being removed from the villa during the second episode. The reason for her sudden exit was revealed to be the resurfacing of podcast clips where she used racial slurs. This led to a wave of online backlash, with fans expressing their outrage on social media and promising to vote her off the island once submissions became available through the Love Island app.
The manner in which Escobar’s departure was handled on the show left viewers questioning whether she was removed in the middle of the night or if the editors simply decided to cut her out of the episode. Regardless, her actions have had consequences, highlighting the importance of accountability in today’s digital age.
Escobar is not the only contestant whose past behavior has come under scrutiny. Shortly after the Season 7 cast was announced, screenshots of Austin Shepard’s alleged TikTok likes surfaced, showing support for President Donald Trump. Despite this revelation, Shepard remains part of the cast, raising questions about the show’s vetting process for contestants.
As the season progresses, viewers are getting to know the remaining islanders, including Chelley Bissainthe, Huda Mustafa, Belle-A Walker, Olandria Carthen, Ace Greene, Taylor Williams, Nicolas Vansteenberghe, and Jeremiah Brown. New bombshells Cierra Ortega and Charlie Georgiou have also entered the villa, adding to the mix of drama and romance.
Former Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix has returned as the host of the show, adding her own flair to the Love Island experience. The seventh season premiered on Peacock with some technical difficulties causing a delay, but fans were eventually introduced to the ten singles vying for love and a $100,000 cash prize.
For those eager to catch up on all the drama, Love Island USA is currently streaming on Peacock, offering a front-row seat to all the twists and turns of this season’s island adventures. Stay tuned for more updates and surprises as the islanders navigate love, friendships, and challenges in their quest for romance and cash prizes.
