'Love Island USA' contestant exits after clips of racist language surface online
Yulissa Escobar will not be finding love in the villa on Season 7 of "Love Island USA." The 27-year-old from Miami exited the show on the second day after video clips surfaced online that appear to show Escobar using racist language while on a podcast. In two podcast clips shared by TMZ, Escobar used racial slurs when talking about men and relationship drama. Escobar's abrupt exit was not given any context on the show. "Welcome back to Love Island USA," series narrator Iain Stirling said at the top of day two, which aired Wednesday. "Yulissa has left the villa." Although it is unclear exactly when Escobar left the show's villa in Fiji, she was last shown sleeping during the first night with 22-year-old Ace Greene, with whom she coupled up during the first episode. Escobar coupled up with Greene after he was already paired up with another contestant, Chelley Bissainthe. It is also unclear if Escobar was edited out of the show. "Love Island USA" is streaming on Peacock, which NBCUniversal owns. Peacock confirmed to NBC News that Escobar left the villa, but did not offer specific details on the reason for her departure. Escobar, who owns a mobile bar in Miami, has not yet publicly spoken on the backlash. She last shared photos from the first day in the villa on her Instagram story on Wednesday night. She did not immediately respond to an NBC News request for comment. During cast introductions shared on YouTube, Escobar revealed she was in a 9-year relationship prior to coming on the show. Her mother was born in Cuba, and her father was born in Missouri. "I could be fire, so don't play with fire because you might burned, baby," Escobar said in a clip shared on Instagram.

Kate Spade and husband 'tried to work things out' before her suicide
Kate Spade's close friend has said the late fashion designer and her husband, Andy, had been attempting to work through their differences before her death A friend of Kate Spade has said the fashion designer and her widower attempted to work through their issues. Fashion designer Kate tragically died aged 55 in June 2018. A housekeeper found the designer dead at her apartment in Manhattan, New York. Local police found a note which was addressed to Kate's daughter following her death, which was ruled to be suicide. Now, a friend of the late icon has claimed that Kate and her husband Andy had been attempting to work through their differences in the lead-up to her death. Although they hadn't been legally separated, Kate and Andy had been living apart for ten months before she sadly died. Elyce Arons, a friend of the fashion designer, has now shed light on Kate's final few months. In her upcoming memoir, she said: "They were trying to work things out – and they were always in each other's lives every day." In the excerpt of We Might Just Make It After All: My Best Friendship With Kate Spade, Arons went on to add: "They loved each other." Kate and Andy were married for 24 years and welcomed daughter Frances Beatrice Valentine Spade, now 20, in 2005. But Arons has also claimed that the late fashion mogul was extremely private but often opened up to her about her struggles. Following Kate's death, Andy, who maintains a low public profile, issued a rare statement explaining that they had never discussed divorcing one another. He said: "We were not legally separated, and never even discussed divorce. We were best friends trying to work through our problems in the best way we knew how. "We were together for 35 years, we loved each other very much and simply needed a break." He also shed light on Kate's mental health, explaining she had suffered from depression and anxiety for "many years." He commented: "She was actively seeking help and working closely with doctors to treat her disease, one that takes far too many lives. We were in touch with her the night before and she sounded happy. "There was no indication and no warning that she would do this. It was a complete shock. And it clearly wasn't her. There were personal demons she was battling." Arons also claimed that while relatives of Kate had believed she had been suffering from bipolar disorder, this is something "Katy" had never discussed. In the abstract published by People Magazine, Arons said: "She never shared with me that she was diagnosed with anything. I think it's stigma-related. "And because she was private, she probably felt that even more so. She would just use the word sad." But while Kate's sister, Reta Saffo, had told the media she believed her sister had been living with bipolar disorder but other relatives, who have kept out of the spotlight, have disputed this. Speaking to NBC News, a source claimed that the family had been "disgusted and saddened" by Reta's comments. Meanwhile, her brother, Earl Brosnahan, stated that Kate was the only person in their family to still speak to Reta, but only "sporadically". He branded the comments "grossly inaccurate." Now, Arons, who co-founded the accessories and clothing line, Frances Valentine, alongside Kate, has announced a new tote bag in support of the Hope for Depression Research Foundation. She said: "I love the organisation because they are working on research and getting a diagnosis. "I think bringing it to light is helpful instead of hiding it."
