Love Island USA's Yulissa Escobar spoke out for the first time after being removed from the hit Peacock series for past racist posts

Yulissa Escobar has left Love Island USA Season 7 a day after the premiere episode on Peacock. The show addressed her exit around the 17-minute mark of the second episode of the dating series competition that dropped on Wednesday night. “Yulissa has left the villa,” Love Island USA narrator Iain Stirling said.

After the season seven Love Island USA cast was revealed last week, Escobar has faced backlash on social media after podcast clips resurfaced of her using racial slurs. In clips obtained by TMZ, she is reportedly heard saying the N-word multiple times.
