Why is Yulissa gone from 'Love Island'? How to watch tonight's episode
In Season 7, which premiered on June 3, 2025, the drama stems from Yulissa Escobar's abrupt exit from the show during the second episode.
Yulissa was part of the main cast for "Love Island USA" 2025, which was announced on May 29. Shortly after, fans uncovered some racist clips from Yulissa's past and claimed that they would try and vote her off first.
Yulissa isn't the only cast member that fans were not fond of. Screenshots of co-star Austin Shephard engaging with several pro-Donald Trump and anti-Kamala Harris videos on TikTok surfaced, and viewers wanted him gone, too.
So what exactly happened to Yulissa? Is there a new episode of "Love Island USA" tonight? Here's what we know.
During Season 7, Episode 2 of "Love Island USA," narrator Iain Stirling announced, "Yulissa has left the villa." This seemed to be before their third day of filming.
The 27-year-old from Miami was paired up with Ace Greene.
No explanation was given for why Yulissa left "Love Island." However, since the Season 7 cast was announced, clips were circulating online of Yulissa saying the n-word.
Footage shared by TMZ shows Yulissa using racist slurs when talking about men and relationship drama in a podcast.
Two episodes of "Love Island USA" Season 7 are out now. Episode 3 airs June 5.
The next episode of "Love Island USA" 2025 will air tonight, June 5.
"Love Island USA" airs every day except Wednesdays, with "Love Island Aftersun" on Saturdays. "Love Island Aftersun" is where dumped cast members and Islanders from previous seasons will gather to discuss Season 7.

Bombshell alert! Maya Jama debuts a 90s style preppy 'lob' cut, bringing back her short hair
Move over, long locks! Maya Jama just made a major case for the return of her 'lob', and considering the recent bob renaissance, you best believe we're all for it. In a recent Instagram Story that's already setting beauty feeds ablaze, the Love Island presenter and certified glam Queen debuted a sleek, glossy long bob (aka lob), and it's one that's giving serious 90s prep vibes – power suit 'n' all. "Okay, bobby bitch is ready to host the show. Make sure you tune in, it's at 10pm right after the main show, and I'm a Clueless c*nt today," Maya says in the IG video, referring to Sunday night's Love Island Aftersun. For those unfamiliar with this hairstyle, a lob is the slightly grown-out cousin of the classic bob, usually landing anywhere from the chin to the shoulders. And Maya's, for reference, hits just past the collarbone, sitting at the longer end of the lob spectrum. As shown above, this version of the cut is textbook perfection: bouncy ends, sharp parting, and a volume that demands attention. The look pairs flawlessly with Maya's tailored lilac-and-navy plaid blazer, cinched with a peplum silhouette to highlight her waist and channelling unmistakable 90s Clueless energy (Cher Horowitz, eat your heart out). Add in the radiant smile and that glowing glam, and you've got a full-on beauty moment. *Chef's kiss* Could this be a new hair era for Maya? Possibly. But before we all book the salon appointment, let's not forget – this might just be a very convincing wig. Still, real or not, it's giving #LobGoals. And we're here for every sharp, swishy second of it. Follow Lia on Instagram. Lia Mappoura (she/her) is the Beauty Writer at Cosmopolitan UK. Covering everything from viral celebrity hair and makeup news to the latest trend predictions, she's an expert in recognising the season's next big beauty look (before it ends up all over your social media feeds).

People Are Sharing The Early Internet Sites That Kids Today Will Never Know, And I'm Feeling ALL The Nostalgia
TikTok, Instagram, and social media as a whole have definitely taken a toll on today's youth. They'll never understand the struggles of the early internet, when nothing was at your fingertips, and high-speed connections were a luxury. The internet was a weird, clunky place. Not nearly as all-consuming as it is now, but those early browsing days laid the groundwork for the kinds of communities we now see on modern platforms. Back then, followers weren't the metric for anything, mostly because no one was being followed. Technically, you were making "friends," whether it was strangers you added to your Top 8 on MySpace or people with cool Neopets you kept tabs on. Those early internet days truly shaped our online lives. In a lot of ways, they made us more grateful for the instant access we have now. Napster and LimeWire basically walked so Spotify could run, if we're being honest. But there's something deeply nostalgic about that bare-bones version of the web — messy, slow, and full of personality. I recently stumbled across a post on r/AskReddit where someone asked, 'What's an early Internet site kids these days will never know?' From pre-Google search engines to flash game havens, here are 21 of the most beloved early internet websites people are reminiscing about: Note: Responses have been edited and condensed for clarity. 1."Addicting Games." —u/RazzleDazzle1537 2."Ask Jeeves." —u/Thayes1413 3."I remember I held out on Google for a long time because I used a site called Dogpile.

I, for one, had a blast making my own Codename: Kids Next Door ID and printing it at my mom's office. Color and all." —u/vanvonhunter 7."I still have an Angelfire site online from the mid-to-late '90s. Have no password for it, no idea how to access it. I think the page counter stopped counting." —u/drugsondrugs 8."Ebaum's World." —u/DaveyMuldowney 9."I really wish the old Candystand was still around. I want to play Lifesavers mini-golf again for the nostalgia. I still remember learning about it in study hall because a teacher let one of the football stars play Candystand mini-golf on the smart board. I went home and immediately pulled it up on the family PC to start my own addiction to Candystand.
