Why did Yulissa leave the villa? 'Love Island' star exits after racist remarks surface
Why did Yulissa leave the villa? 'Love Island' star exits after racist remarks surface Show Caption Hide Caption 'Love Island USA' host Ariana Madix on if she watches 'The Valley' "Love Island USA" host Ariana Madix explains to USA TODAY's Ralphie Aversa what it would take to get her back on Bravo reality TV show. The latest season of "Love Island" isn't yet a week old, and already it's mired in scandal. Contestant Yulissa Escobar was abruptly ousted from the villa with little explanation from narrator Iain Stirling during the second episode of Season 7, which aired June 4. Different from the traditional departures, in which contestants are either voted off by the public or their fellow "islanders," Escobar seems to have been removed by the powers that be. USA TODAY has reached out to Peacock, which airs the show, for comment. For many, her exit was welcome – before the show even began to air, Escobar, 27, became the subject of controversy when several clips of her using a racial slur on a podcast surfaced. Backlash quickly reached a fever pitch online, with fans of the show vowing to vote her off when they got the chance. 'Love Island USA' host Ariana Madix reveals she eavesdrops on contestants: 'I love gossip' That opportunity never came, however, when just short of 20 minutes into the show, Stirling said simply, "Yulissa has left the villa." Escobar, who had used a racial slur toward Black people when describing a previous relationship, was coupled up with 22-year-old Ace Greene from Los Angeles. With the Miami native gone, Greene is now single, free to "recouple" with the other bikini-clad twentysomethings looking for love in NBC's Fiji "Love Island" villa. "Love Island USA," a spin-off of the popular U.K. reality series, has proven a massive boon for NBC, particularly Season 6, which produced three closely followed couples. The format, which sees eligible singles from across the country live in a villa, summer camp style, and play musical chairs with their romantic relationships, is ripe for online commentary. As fans get to watch along, sometimes voting their least-liked individuals out, the side conversation around the happenings in the villa becomes as much an activity as watching the show itself. New episodes of Love Island USA stream daily at 9 p.m. E.T. on Peacock.

Why Did Yulissa Leave ‘Love Island USA?' Her Exit Follows Resurfaced Racist Remarks
Only two episodes into Season 7 of Love Island USA, and there's already cast drama in Fiji. Peacock announced that contestant Yulissa Escobar had left the villa in Episode 2 but didn't provide any further explanation, sparking rumors that her departure may be linked to the resurfacing of past videos in which she used racial slurs. On Thursday, May 29, the 27-year-old Miami, Florida native was announced as one of the Season 7 cast members, alongside nine other singles heading to Fiji to compete on the popular reality dating show, which airs six days a week on Peacock. However, eighteen minutes into Episode 2, the show's narrator Iain Stirling revealed the news just before the islanders were shown waking up. 'Welcome back to Love Island USA. Yulissa has left the villa,' he said, hinting that she may have been removed in the middle of the night. Oddly, there was no further explanation – and the announcement was so casual that some viewers didn't even notice until the end of the episode during the recoupling. Adding to the confusion, there was no acknowledgment of Yulissa's absence from the other Islanders or her new partner, Ace Greene, whom she had just coupled up with the night before. 'Ace is single now! Who should he chat up next?' read a new poll posted during the episode on the show's app. While Peacock has yet to provide an explanation for Yulissa's exit, several news outlets reported that, following the cast announcement, videos resurfaced online showing Escobar allegedly using racial slurs – possibly prompting producers to remove her from the show. According to TMZ, Yulissa reportedly used the N-word on two separate podcasts while discussing past relationships. The clips went viral on social media ahead of the Season 7 premiere, and in response, Love Island fans vowed to vote her out once submissions opened through the show's official app. The series films almost in real time with a one- to two-day delay, so it's very possible that after seeing the controversial videos, producers made the decision to pull Yulissa. Her last post related to the show was on her Instagram story 16 hours ago. (Peacock has been contacted for comment. This article will be updated if they respond.) After realizing Yulissa was gone, fans flooded the contestant's Instagram comments and took to social media platforms like TikTok and X to express relief that she was no longer on the show, noting they didn't have to vote her out themselves. 'This girl on the internet saying the N word.. loud and proud. what kind of vetting did yall do producers???' one comment read. 'the fact that we didn't even get the privilege to vote her off gets me mad but hey a win is a win 🤣 they really said y'all want her off you got it!' added another user on Instagram. 'I'm gone always support Love Island. They really listened to the uproars of the country . We didn't even have to vote Yulissa off. Amen," another viewer wrote on X. Escobar has not yet addressed her exit or the backlash surrounding it. The remaining Islanders on Season 7 include main cast members Chelley Bissainthe, Huda Mustafa, Belle-A Walker, Olandria Carthen, Ace Greene, Taylor Williams, Nicolas Vansteenberghe, and Jeremiah Brown, along with two new bombshells, Cierra Ortega and Charlie Georgiou. Former Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix returned as host for her second season. Love Island USA airs daily, except Wednesdays, at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock.

Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Love Island USA' Season 7 on Peacock, In Which 10 New Singles Bring The Heat And Drama In Fiji
Peacock is releasing its latest season of Love Island USA, starting this week, with near-daily episode rollouts all through June. The reality dating competition series continues to follow the formula of its beloved British counterpart as a brand new crew of 10 attractive singles head to Fiji to chase a nice cash prize… and also maybe love. TV personality and model Ariana Madix returns to host a seventh season that looks to bring the heat like never before. Opening Shot: Scenes of Fiji are interwoven with clips of this season's cast lip-syncing and dancing to Janelle Monaé's 'Make Me Feel.' The montage caps off with host Ariana Madix on the beach looking into the camera to declare that this season will be 'bigger, bolder, and ready to bring the heat!' The Gist: Filmed in near-real time and airing a whopping six days per week, Love Island USA brings 10 spicy singles to Fiji to compete in pairs for $100,000 shared by whoever America votes to be the sole winning couple. This season's set features new additions of a sauna, speakeasy, and photobooth, and the 85 hidden cameras and 17 microphones ensure that no matter where the islanders go, they will always be seen and heard. It's kind of creepy, but hey, they're the ones who signed up for it! Ariana Madix returns for her second season of hosting duties, along with Scottish comedian Iain Stirling back for his fourth season as the show's quippy narrator. Love Island USA: Season 7 welcomes an interesting assortment of islanders with some big personalities and entertaining interactions right off the bat. The women arrive first, introducing 27-year-old day trader Chelley, 27-year-old elevator and escalator industry worker Olandria, 24-year-old fitness coach Huda, 22-year-old Christian Hawaii resident Belle-A, and 27-year-old mobile bar owner Melissa. Then we get the guys: 22-year-old dancer Ace, 24-year-old registered nurse Nic, 24-year-old rodeo competitor Taylor, 26-year-old pool boy (pool man?) Austin, and 25-year-old cateter and model Jeremiah. After their initial introductions, the ladies each get a chance to kiss (or heavily make out) with two guys of their choice before picking one to couple up with. They go one at a time in order of whose name is randomly drawn from a bag, with Chelley up first. Chelley sets the tone with steamy smooches to Austin and then Ace, ultimately picking Ace, in large part due to the fact that they kind of know each other in real life after meeting outside of a club this past January. Huda's next, kissing Jeremiah, then Ace, before deciding on Jeremiah. Belle-A decides to throw a curve ball by opting for cheek kisses from Taylor and Nic due to her 'no kissing on the first date' policy, before she opts for Nic. Olandria then turns the temperature back up by making out with Taylor and Nic before picking Taylor. And then last up is Yulissa, who has a long makeout session with Ace before she goes up to Jeremiah, only for him to kiss her on the cheek, prompting Ace to admit, 'I fucked up' as Chelley sideeyes him. Yulissa picks Ace, forcing Chelley to end up with Austin, and already making for a messy start to everyone's first day. After that, the couples get to know each other, with some more excited than others. Yulissa, for example, is very into Ace, while he and Chelley still seem to have a lingering attraction to one another leftover from their flirty IRL meeting that fizzled into long-distance DMs. Even though she didn't kiss him, Nic finds Belle-A attractive, but he's also interested in Olandria. Olandria and Taylor seem happy with each other as they bond over their mutual Southernness and shared love of fishing and enchiladas. Then there's Huda and Jeremiah, who seem to have the most initial chemistry of all, but whose future together already seems tenuous as they each keep potentially deal-breaking secrets: Huda is a single mom, and Jeremiah is a self-proclaimed reformed cheater. As if things weren't already tangled and chaotic enough, Day 2 gives the islanders a chance to kiss whoever they want in (relative) secrecy, as the couples all sit in a circle blindfolded. Only Ace, Chelley, Olandria, and Nic raise their hands, opting to make out with other people, but everyone ultimately ends up kissed due to the arrival of bombshells Cierra and Charlie, shaking things up even more. At the end of Day 1, the ladies agreed to be 'girls' girls' who are open with each other, but with the entrance of a fiery new woman in the mix, we'll see how long that lasts. All we know is that if Episode 1 is this wild, the rest of the season is sure to be one to remember. What Shows Will It Remind You Of?: In addition to the O.G. British Love Island, Love Island USA will call to mind other deliciously drama-filled reality dating shows like FBoy Island, Too Hot To Handle, Temptation Island, and Bachelor In Paradise. Our Take: From the opening lip-sync video to the slo-mo intros to most of the words out of the men's mouths, Love Island USA is cringey reality TV at its peak. I've never even seen any iteration of Love Island before and am not usually into shows like this, but even I found it compelling. Within just the span of one episode, I got invested despite myself and am definitely curious for more. These producers definitely know what they need to do to pull viewers in. Even just from the casting alone, you've got two people who have met (and exchanged flirty DMs) before, an admitted cheater, a single mom, a 22-year-old Christian who wants to take things slow, and at least two people that the internet has already deemed cancellable. It's just so messy you can't help but watch, even when it's raunchy or embarrassing. Maybe those moments make the whole thing feel voyeuristic and taboo, and that's the biggest draw of all. People like seeing a budding romance story almost as much as they love seeing chaotic people crash and burn. Love Island USA: Season 7 adds to the chaos with a cast of women who are mostly baddies standing out amongst some pretty mid and untrustworthy guys, already setting the scene for tumultuous twosomes and bad breakups. None of these initial couples seem super likely to last, but you just know that no matter what they do from here, it's going to be extremely entertaining to behold. Sex and Skin: There's a lot of skin and plenty of heavy makeouts, but no sex or total nudity in this episode. Anything can happen later on in the season, though, so viewer discretion is definitely advised. Parting Shot: The islanders sit in a circle wearing blindfolds, and everyone gets the chance to secretly smooch anyone they want. Not everyone partakes, but after two bombshells enter the villa, every single contestant ends up receiving a kiss. Once the bombshells are sent away, everyone is informed of their presence in the villa, much to their surprise. Ariana instructs the islanders to put their blindfolds back on and raise their hands if they want to get to know the bombshell better… and the episode ends. Uh oh, I smell trouble ahead! Performance Worth Watching: While there are definitely multiple people that make an impression, single-mom Huda particularly stands out due to her good energy and secret single-mom storyline. She seems sincere in her search for a stable and lasting partner, but will she find a guy like that on this show? I guess we can only wait and see. Memorable Dialogue: When introducing himself to the world, Ace makes it clear that he's not scared to date a taller woman: 'I don't care if you're 6'2″, 6'3″, I'll chop that tree. I'm gonna be like a little chihuahua on a great dane.' Our Call: Whether you're a dedicated fan willing to commit to watching every six-hour-plus-long episode every week or just a casual viewer wanting to catch an episode here and there, Love Island USA: Season 7 has enough marvelous messiness for everyone to enjoy. It's pure summer sexiness, ridiculousness, and fun, that at the very least will make for some entertaining viewing for you and your friends over the next few months. STREAM IT!
