Why Did Yulissa Escobar Leave Love Island USA Season 7? Exit Explained
Yulissa Escobar's time on Love Island USA Season 7 was cut short, as she had to leave just one day after the premiere. Fans barely had time to get to know her before the show dropped the news in Episode 2. No dramatic farewell, no emotional goodbye, just an abrupt exit that left everyone wondering: What really happened?
Yulissa Escobar's leaving Love Island USA Season 7 came after controversy arose over resurfaced podcast clips where she used racial slurs. TMZ obtained audio of her repeatedly using the N-word while discussing past relationships, leading to immediate backlash from viewers. Fans flooded social media, demanding her removal from the show and vowing to vote her off once the option became available, and it seems producers listened.
While Love Island USA Season 7 didn't give a detailed explanation for her exit, the timing speaks for itself. The show addressed her exit subtly as around the 17-minute mark of Episode 2, narrator Iain Stirling simply stated, 'Yulissa has left the villa.' It remains unclear whether producers asked Escobar to leave Love Island USA or if she exited voluntarily. However, given the growing controversy, her removal appears to be a direct response to the backlash. Furthermore, she has not publicly addressed the situation.
This isn't the first time a Love Island franchise has dealt with contestant controversies. The UK version recently replaced a cast member as well. Kyle Ashman, who was previously questioned in a machete attack case and denied involvement, also had to leave.
Now, with Escobar gone, the remaining female Islanders include Chelley Bissainthe, Huda Mustafa, Belle-A Walker, and Olandria Carthen. The male contestants are Ace Greene, Taylor Williams, Nicolas Vansteenberghe, and Jeremiah Brown. New arrivals Cierra Ortega and Charlie Georgiou entered as bombshells on the first night.
Hosted by Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix, Love Island USA Season 7 premiered on June 3 on Peacock after a brief delay due to technical issues. The show continues as singles compete for love and a $100,000 prize.

All the signs Love Island's Harrison will couple up with Toni instead of Malisha following new twist
Love Island dropped another twist last night (Tuesday 17th June), as Toni and Malisha learned that they were at risk of being dumped from the villa and who stayed would be decided by new bombshell Harrison. Off the girlies went to enjoy their separate dates with the 24-year-old professional footballer. Malisha was up first and it looked like it was a done deal, as she admitted that he was just her type and they flirted over a glass of bubbly. They made eye contact and Malisha filled him on her time in the villa so far, admitting that the other boys in the Love Island 2025 cast were "boring" and she'd laughed so much on their short date. But, as soon as Toni arrived for her date, it was pretty clear that Harrison would be bringing her back to the villa later that night. Viewers will have to wait until Wednesday night's episode (18th June) to see who he chooses, but I'll eat my hat if it isn't Toni tbh. Here's all the signs he's definitely returning to the villa with Toni... Perhaps the biggest sign that Harrison and Toni have to couple up is the fact that they both lived in the same place. What are the chances of Toni, an American, flying all the way to the UK for Love Island to meet someone who lives in the same place she went to college. During the date, Toni asked Harrison if he'd ever been to America and he revealed that he actually plays football (or soccer for the Americans) there. Toni then asked whereabouts and he revealed that he lives in Boca Raton, Florida. Stunned, Toni said that she actually went to college there and only moved two years ago. "It was my dream... it was like the best years of my life," she smiled. Harrison then said that he needs an American tour guide, to which she replied: "I've got you." Asked why he should pick her, she smiled: "You said you needed a tour guide, let me be that girl." While Harrison got on well with both girls, there was just something different about his date with Toni. "I don't know if I'm happy because I'm going into the villa or because I'm sat here with you," he told Toni immediately after meeting her. It was clear they were both attracted to one another, with Harrison complimenting her outfit and telling Toni she looked "pretty" multiple times. And things got a little "sexual" (to quote Harrison), after he told her that her dressed matched the strawberries. She then told him to "have one" and he said "you first", before feeding her. "I feel like that was mad sexual," he joked afterwards. Towards the end of their date, Toni gushed that "the signs are there... they're kind of written in the stars." Prior to entering the villa, Harrison revealed that he has a thing for American girls. "I do really like American girls. Their personality is slightly different, in general they're more confident and go for what they want. But I like a challenge, I like a bit of the chase," he said. Could Toni be his American girl? We think so! New episodes of Love Island air on weekdays and Sundays

Chuck E. Cheese Animated Christmas Special Starring Nathan Kress in the Works From PHINEAS & FERB Creators — GeekTyrant
Mr. Charles Entertainment Cheese, better known to the world as Chuck E. Cheese, is getting into the TV business with The Chuck E. Cheese Christmas Special , a new project produced by UTA and Stampede Ventures' kid-focused HappyNest Entertainment. The TV special, which is currently in production with a release date scheduled for this holiday season, marks the first time the Chuck E. Cheese brand has been adapted into an animated special. Written and executive produced by Zac Moncrief and Jon Coltan Barry ( Phineas & Ferb , Be Cool Scooby-Doo! ), The Chuck E. Cheese Christmas Special boasts a voice cast that includes Nathan Kress ( iCarly ) in the title role of Chuck E. Cheese, as well as Grey Griffin ( Avatar: The Last Airbender ), Nolan North ( Uncharted ), Kari Wahlgren ( Rick & Morty ) and Fred Tatasciore ( Kung Fu Panda 2 ). Per Chuck E. Cheese IP owner Chuck E. Cheese Entertainment, the special, which does not currently have a streamer or network attached to air the project, 'is not just a seasonal moment — it's the beginning of a long-term vision to transform beloved characters into a storytelling universe for today's kids and families.' 'This latest venture marks a strategic content expansion for Chuck E. Cheese, just as the brand has been reimagined for the latest generation of kids, launched a licensing division that currently has over 30 licensee partners in retail, novelty gift, toys, books and more, and engages with over 40M kids and families every year across its nearly 600 fun centers around the world,' the company says. The TV event will feature a new Christmas song co-written by Barry, Moncrief, composer Ben Bromfield ( Ginny & Georgia ), and Barry's father, Jeff Barry. Oscar-nominated character designer and animator Bobby Pontillas ( Moana , Big Hero 6 and Zootopia ) created the new character designs and animation is being handled by Pixel Zoo Animation Studios out of Brisbane, Australia. The team is led by Paul Gillett, director Steve Trenbirth ( The Croods: Family Tree , The Jungle Book 2 ) and Moncrief as co-director. This project is being described as a 'soon-to-be holiday classic,' which is a lot of pressure to put on a Chuck E. Cheese cartoon, but who knows? Maybe it will be a fun watch this holiday season. via: Variety
