A cast member Love Island USA has been removed from season 7 of the show after clips of them using racist slurs began surfacing online.

Yulissa Escobar, aged 27, was quietly removed from the reality TV show off camera during just the second episode, before any of the other participants had awakened for the day.

As the islanders were waking up, the narrator of the show Iain Stirling announced: ‘Yulissa has left the villa.’ 

Videos featuring Escobar using the N-word while talking about past boyfriends emerged on Reddit, leading to outrage among viewers. Many took to her Instagram to express their discontent, stating they would have immediately voted her off given the chance.

Yulissa was paired up with Ace Greene who is now single following her exit. 

Love Island USA has only aired two episodes of its new season and there has already been a shakeup in the cast

One comment on the Reddit thread pointed out: ‘How [the f***] did producers let this slide? They for SURE saw this.’

One commenter responded: ‘If users on this platform can uncover this information in just a few days, the casting team should definitely have done so as well. It seems they’re either not thoroughly vetting participants or choosing to overlook such matters. Neither option looks good.’

The remaining season seven Islanders include: Chelley Bissainthe, Huda Mustafa, Belle-A Walker, Olandria Carthen, Greene, and Taylor Williams. 

The comments on Yulissa’s Instagram will be a surprise to her when she gets back from Fiji.

‘“yulissa has left the villa” LMFAOOOO,’ one fan wrote, while another expressed,’ WE WON SHES GONE!’

The strong reaction continued in that theme, with someone else saying: ‘Love Island stood on business and I love that.’

Just a day before her exit, the budding reality star had been happily promoting the show on her Instagram. 

In one post, she wrote, ‘It’s my unapologetic year! And I’m choosing me, every time. Loud, soft, sweet, savage—whatever I feel like being.’

In other Love Island-related posts, Yulissa shilled for votes to stay in the Villa.

‘Say hello to your newest official islander on Love Island USA Season 7. Straight from Miami and headed to the villa! She’s all about kindness, connection, and staying true to who she is,’ one post was captioned

‘We can’t wait for you to get to know her heart, her humor, and everything in between. Make sure you download love island app to vote for Yulissa!’

‘Can she see these comments?? Or not yet cause she in the island? Honestly IDC but how hilarious when she comes out thinking she got all these fans but she’s getting cancelled,’ one person commented on that post.

Yulissa isn’t the only Love Island USA contestant to face controversy.

Season 7 contestant Austin Shepard has faced controversy for liking TikTok content supporting Donald Trump.

Unlike Yulissa, Austin has remained in the villa. 

The remaining female contestants in the villa include Chelley Bissainthe, Huda Mustafa, Belle-A Walker, and Olandria Carthen.

The guys vying for love are Ace Greene, Taylor Williams, Nicolas Vansteenberghe and Jeremiah Brown. 

The show also introduced two early bombshells: Cierra Ortega and Charlie Georgiou.

Bombshells are a new Islander who enters the villa with the intention of potentially disrupting existing relationships and forming new ones. 

“Islanders will couple up to face brand new heart-racing challenges and bigger twists and turns than ever before,” the show’s logline reads. The contestants are also vying for a $100,000 prized.

On Love Island USA, a spinoff of Love Island UK, singles live together in a villa for about two months and couple up with the islander they are most attracted to. 

The episodes air six nights a week, and fans impact how the season unfolds by voting for their favorite islanders.
