Love Island USA Cast Member Yulissa Escobar Thrown off Show After Using N-Word
Life comes at you fast. One day, you're looking for a match on Love Island USA . The next day, you're packing your bags and leaving the villa because of your repeated use of the N-word. That's the case for Season 7's Yulissa Escobar, whose flippant use of racial slurs got her booted from the competition. We've got all the details on what you need to know about Episode 2's casting shakeup.
Yulissa's controversy started quickly after Peacock confirmed her as part of the Season 7 cast. Two clips surfaced of her on podcasts using the N-word to refer to men from her past. Somehow, people on the internet found those podcasts, but the casting team didn't.
Fans lit up her Instagram comments, vowing to use their Love Island USA votes to push Yulissa out of the competition. The fact that one of Yulissa's hometown friends was on Instagram fighting with fans in the comments didn't help her case.
Ultimately, it turns out that fans didn't need to use their votes to get Yulissa out of the villa. The producers took care of it. On Love Island USA Season 7 Episode 2, the Islanders were waking up to start their day when the narrator randomly announced, 'Yuilssa has left the villa.' It happened around the 18-minute mark with very little context shared on screen.
Peacock did not mention Yulissa's controversial online presence. However, it's safe to assume that's why she randomly left the show. Prior to that, she seemed ready to stir up some quality mess in the villa. She coupled up with Ace Green, knowing good and well he had already expressed interest in Chelley Bissainthe.
Yulissa is just one element of a messy start to Love Island USA Season 7. Peacock suffered technical issues ahead of the June 3 premiere, resulting in a nearly 45-minute delay. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the rest of Season 7 can go smoothly.
Love Island USA is streaming on Peacock, with new episodes dropping daily at 9/8c.
TELL US – WERE YOU SURPRISED BY YULISSA'S DEPARTURE ON LOVE ISLAND USA SEASON 7 EPISODE 2? DO YOU THINK THE CASTING TEAM COULD DO A BETTER JOB AT VETTING THE ISLANDERS?

Little Debbie Just Gave Us a Delicious Reason to Revisit the Snack Aisle
Let's be real: if snacks had a VIP section, Little Debbie would already be in it—heels kicked up, sipping a Yoo-hoo. And now? She's back with a new flex: Old Fashioned Donuts. That's right—our beloved childhood snack queen is rolling out a classic cake-style donut that's about to make your pantry feel brand new (and highly snackable). These golden rings of greatness are dense, buttery, and dripping with that sweet, signature glaze. Each box comes with six individually-wrapped full-size donuts, which means your summer snack stash just leveled up. Think: classic coffees shop vibes, but with Little Debbie convenience. No mess, no sharing listen, if you've seen Ice Cube's iconic 2002 film Friday After Next, you already know the truth—Baby D would've been all over these. After all, "Baby D knows all the new snacks before they even hit the street.' From the crispy edges to the moist center, they're built for sneaky bites, midnight cravings or the classic coffee setup next to your morning brew. What makes them special? They bring big nostalgia energy. If the tasty new item is giving you deja vu, it's because they may remind you of the brand's legendary Donut Sticks. This time though, the donuts offer a thicker, richer and way more satisfying bite. Dare I say, they might even snatch the crown from Hostess Donettes. Yeah, I said teasing fans on National Donut Day, Little Debbie officially confirmed the launch, and snack fans everywhere went wild. One person on Instagram said, 'This is generational,' and honestly, I felt that. Expect to see these on grocery shelves nationwide by the end of June, with some retailers already stocking shelves now. Whether you're packing them in your beach bag, hiding them in your desk drawer, or just unapologetically living your best snack life, they're coming for your cravings. Bottom line: Little Debbie just pulled off a glow-up on a classic. And if Baby D was right? You better grab yours before the streets Debbie Just Gave Us a Delicious Reason to Revisit the Snack Aisle first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 18, 2025

Taco Bell Just Secretly Dropped a Cheesy New Menu Item and Fans Say It's 'Amazing'
Taco Bell has no shortage of menu announcements. The fast food chain has already launched five new menu items this year, like the Loaded Steak & Jalapeño Topped Fries, announced a new Crispy Chicken Taco, and even dropped a new collaboration with Tony Hawk. Now, there's a cheesy menu item in town—but it's only available in select locations. Taco Bell is testing out the $7 Steak & Cheese Tacodilla, which has recently been spotted by customers on social media. The menu item has even made its way to the chain's main website, with the ingredients including a corn and flour shell, marinated steak, mozzarella, pepper jack, cheddar cheese, and "a new bold and savory red chile sauce."Taco Bell originally revealed the news of the Tacodilla at the Live Más Live 2025 event, along with 12 other menu items spanning from sauces to desserts (such as a Purple Chile Sauce, Crispy Fajitas, Mexican Pizza Empanada, and more). According to AllRecipes, the test kitchen brought the Tacodilla to life on June 17. It's currently available in select Detroit, Michigan locations for a limited-time. Customers are particularly excited about the launch, with Reddit thread users describing the meal as "amazing," adding that they "hope these go nationwide." A second Reddit thread commenter cited the Tacodilla as "huge and pretty good," advising Taco Bell visitors to order it with extra sauce. Related: "The shell was both soft and a little crispy with a little chew…I would absolutely get it again," this Facebook user wrote. You can order the Tacodilla on its own, or as part of the Steak & Cheese Tacodilla Combo, which consists of the Tacodilla, a large fountain drink, and chips with nacho cheese sauce. With a slew of tested menu items yet to see the light of day, we certainly don't expect this latest kitchen innovation to be the last. And hopefully we'll see the Tacodilla as a permanent addition in the near Bell Just Secretly Dropped a Cheesy New Menu Item and Fans Say It's 'Amazing' first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 24, 2025
