Love Island USA: Yulissa speaks out about her elimination over racial slurs
Love IslandUSA contestant Yulissa Escobar was removed from the seventh season in episode two after videos of her using racial slurs resurfaced online.
Her departure was handled discreetly on the program, with the narrator simply stating she had left the villa without further explanation.
Escobar has since shared her account in a TikTok video, explaining that producers informed her of a resurfaced video but did not initially show her its content.
She was taken to a hotel and left without her phone for two days before she could see the controversial clips.
Escobar has apologized for her past language, acknowledging the impact of her words and expressing regret for using the racial slur.
