‘Love Island USA' Contestant Yulissa Escobar Apologizes for Using Racial Slur After Being Kicked Off Show: ‘I Didn't Know Better Then, but I Do Now'
'Love Island USA' contestant Yulissa Escobar has released a statement apologizing for using racial slurs in past podcast clips that resurfaced online. 'In those clips, I used a word I never should've used, a racial slur,' Escobar wrote on her Instagram account. 'I used it ignorantly, not fully understanding the weight, history, or pain behind it. I wasn't trying to be offensive or harmful, but I recognize now that intention doesn't excuse impact. And the impact of that word is real. It's tied to generations of trauma, and it is not mine to use.' More from Variety 'Love Island USA' Is Back: Here's How to Watch Season 7 Online 'Love Island' Spinoff 'Beyond the Villa' Greenlit for Summer Premiere With Cast Including JaNa, Serena, Leah and Other Season 6 Stars Luminate Streaming Ratings: 'Cobra Kai,' 'Love Island USA,' 'Find Me Falling' and 'Hillbilly Elegy' Top TV and Film Charts July 19-25 She continued: 'At the time, I was speaking casually in conversation, not thinking deeply or critically about what I was saying. But that doesn't take away from how wrong it was. The truth is, I didn't know better then, but I do now. I've taken the time to reflect, to learn, and to grow from that moment.' Escobar was removed from the villa during the second episode of Season 7, which aired on Peacock on Wednesday, with minimal context about the reason behind her departure. Shortly after Peacock announced the original 'Love Island USA' cast ahead of its June 3 premiere, fans exposed the ex-islander for her controversial past, vowing to vote her off the show once submissions opened. In the clips obtained by TMZ, she is heard saying the N-word several times while discussing past relationships. 'I've changed a lot since then, not just in how I speak, but in how I show up, how I carry myself, and how I honor the experiences of others,' Escobar wrote. 'Growth means recognizing when you were wrong, even if it's uncomfortable, and choosing to move forward with humility and accountability.' In her apology, Escobar also addressed claims of false statements about her character circulating online since her exit. 'There have also been fake statements circulating, things written or said by others that don't reflect me or my heart,' Escobar continued in her post. 'I want to clarify that this is my voice and my words. I don't need anyone to speak for me. I'm choosing to speak for myself because I take full ownership of my actions. Do not listen to the fake statements. This is my official statement. This is me speaking directly to you. To those who are disappointed or offended, I understand, and I apologize. I am sorry.'

The 'Truth Hurts' singer, 37, shared a video on Instagram of herself dancing in a pink and gray string bikini in front of a backyard pool on Saturday, June 7. She also wore a black face covering as she swayed and moved to a track of herself rapping. 'BLACK TRUCK A-- POKING OUT THA WINDOW,' she captioned the post — which is also one of the lyrics to the song that played in the background. Lizzo is no stranger to a fun summer photo shoot. She shared a video of herself dancing and lip-syncing in a yellow and blue bikini and high heels on May 24 to celebrate Memorial Day. The musician has been vocal on social media and in interviews about her weight loss journey since 2023. She also has reminded her followers that the ultimate goal of her weight loss was to improve her mental health. 'Exercise has helped me shift my mind, not my body," she said in a May 2023 TikTok video. Later, in a March 2024 interview with The New York Times, Lizzo revealed that she had been 'methodical' with her health plan and was 'losing weight very slowly.' She also told the outlet that her idea of body positivity had 'evolved into body neutrality.' 'I'm not going to lie and say I love my body every day,' she explained. 'The bottom line is, the way you feel about your body changes every single day. There are some days I adore my body, and others when I don't feel completely positive.' In January 2025, the 'About Damn Time' singer shared two mirror selfies on Instagram overlaid with screenshots from an app that showed her weight goal had been achieved. 'I did it,' she captioned the post. 'Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal. I haven't seen this number since 2014! Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!' The stats in her photos revealed that the star had lowered her body mass index by 10.5 and had lost 16% of her body fat.

During an April 7 interview on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, the singer said that she prefers the term 'weight release' to 'weight loss.' "My man, he's so funny,' she said, referring to her boyfriend, Myke Wright. 'He was the one that brought it to my attention at first. Because at first I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I lost five pounds,' and he was like, 'Where did it go?' " 'It's like, I don't think I want to lose anything. I think I want to win. I think I want to gain,' she added. Read the original article on People

All About Billie Eilish's Rumored Boyfriend, Nat Wolff
On June 8, Billie Eilish was photographed kissing musician Nat Wolff in Venice, Italy, on a balcony in the romantic city, seemingly enjoying some champagne together. The photos were published by gossip Instagram account DeuxMoi. Rumors have been circulating about the apparent couple since Wolff and his brother Alex started opening for Eilish during her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour. Here's everything to know about Wolff and his connection to Eilish so far. Wolff comes from an entertainment family: his mother is actress, writer, director, and producer Polly Draper, and his dad is the jazz pianist Michael Wolff. He grew up in New York City and told Complex in 2013 that he filmed his first short when he was only nine-years-old in Washington Square Park. As a kid, he told his family,'I want to be a child actor!' Wolff added, 'With two artist parents, I just grew up knowing that art was the most important thing and everything else was kind of secondary.' He and his brother Alex ended up starring in Nickelodeon's The Naked Brothers Band, produced by his mother and with music supervised by his father. He and Alex even toured with music from the show, some of which Wolff wrote. But he took a break to do some regular life stuff. 'I know a lot of the kids in the entertainment industry who didn't go through the normal stuff, like high school, with the peer pressures and heartbreak and everything,' Wolff told Complex. 'There's definitely a part missing in them, you know? You can see it in their eyes.' But Wolff returned to acting, with credits in Paper Towns (2015), The Fault in Our Stars (2014), Stella's Last Weekend (2018), Mainstream (2020) and more. The brothers returned to the stage under the moniker Nat & Alex Wolff, and have released two studio albums, according to a 2024 profile in Hero Magazine, which included an interview between them from his time on tour with Eilish. In 2023, they discussed their album Table For Two with Paste Magazine. 'When you're younger, you're very, very narrowly focused on, I don't know, the girl you're in love with, or whatever. And I think that's definitely still on the album. But I think more than ever, our deep roots of our family and our parents and where we grew up, and maybe some more all-encompassing things that haven't been addressed before are more addressed on this album,' Wolff said of the newest LP. After Wolff joined Eilish's tour in 2024, rumors the pair might be dating started circulating. In a profile of Eilish in Vogue 2024, Wolff said of Eilish, 'She's one of those people where almost everything she does, she does better than everyone else. She's like, 'Come see me ride my horse,' and the teacher says, 'You know, if she put all her energy into it, she could go to the Olympics.' You just have to kind of submit to the fact that she's going to be better than everyone else at everything.' He shared that he first met Eilish at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles. Both of them have Tourette's syndrome and they bonded over that and over being child stars. He made an appearance in her 'CHIHIRO' music video in 2024, and they were spotted in New York City in March 2025 going to the Lucille Lortel Theater together before bar-hopping in the East Village.
