Yulissa Breaks Silence After Shocking ‘Love Island USA' Season 7 Exit
LOVE ISLAND USA — "Master Interviews" — Pictured: Yulissa Escobar — (Photo by: Ben Symons/PEACOCK ... More via Getty Images) Yulissa Escobar is breaking her silence. The 27-year-old Love Island USA contestant has finally addressed resurfaced podcast clips in which she used racial slurs – videos that likely led to her abrupt exit from the villa in Season 7, Episode 2. On June 6, the Miami, Florida, native posted an official statement to her Instagram account, where she addressed the allegations against her and apologized for using the N-word. 'First, I want to apologize for using a word I had no right in using. Podcast clips from years ago have recently resurfaced, and I want to address it directly,' she began. 'In those clips, I used a word I never should've used, a racial slur. 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.' The former Islander 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.' '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,' she added. 'Growth means recognizing when you were wrong, even if it's uncomfortable, and choosing to move forward with humility and accountability." The statement concluded, 'There have also been fake statements circulating, things written or said by others that don't reflect me or my heart. 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.' On May 29, Escobar was revealed as one of the Season 7 cast members alongside nine other singles heading to Fiji to compete on the popular reality dating show, which airs six days a week on Peacock. However, eighteen minutes into Episode 2, the show's narrator Iain Stirling said that Yulissa was gone. 'Welcome back to Love Island USA. Yulissa has left the villa,' he said, hinting that she may have been removed in the middle of the night. Oddly, there was no further explanation – and the announcement was so casual that some viewers didn't even notice until the end of the episode during the recoupling. Adding to the confusion, there was no acknowledgment of Yulissa's absence from the other Islanders or her new partner, Ace Greene, whom she had just coupled up with the night before. 'Ace is single now! Who should he chat up next?' read a new poll posted during the episode on the show's app. LOVE ISLAND USA — Episode 701 — Pictured: (l-r) Yulissa Escobar, Ace Green — (Photo by: Ben ... More Symons/Peacock via Getty Images) While Peacock has yet to provide an explanation for Yulissa's exit, several news outlets reported that, following the cast announcement, videos resurfaced online showing Escobar allegedly using racial slurs – possibly prompting producers to remove her from the show. According to TMZ, Yulissa reportedly used the N-word on two separate podcasts while discussing past relationships. The clips went viral on social media ahead of the Season 7 premiere, and in response, Love Island fans vowed to vote her out once submissions opened through the show's official app. The series films almost in real time with a one- to two-day delay, so it's very possible that after seeing the controversial videos, producers made the decision to pull Yulissa.

More Michelle "Chelley" Bissainthe, Yulissa Escobar, Huda Mustafa — (Photo by: Ben Symons/Peacock via Getty Images) After realizing Yulissa was gone, fans flooded the contestant's Instagram comments and took to social media platforms like TikTok and X to express relief that she was no longer on the show, noting they didn't have to vote her out themselves. 'This girl on the internet saying the N word.. loud and proud. what kind of vetting did yall do producers???' one comment read. 'the fact that we didn't even get the privilege to vote her off gets me mad but hey a win is a win 🤣 they really said y'all want her off you got it!' added another user on Instagram. 'I'm gone always support Love Island. They really listened to the uproars of the country . We didn't even have to vote Yulissa off. Amen," another viewer wrote on X. The remaining Islanders on Season 7 include main cast members Chelley Bissainthe, Huda Mustafa, Belle-A Walker, Olandria Carthen, Ace Greene, Taylor Williams, Nicolas Vansteenberghe, and Jeremiah Brown, along with two new bombshells, Cierra Ortega and Charlie Georgiou. Former Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix returned as host for her second season. Love Island USA airs daily, except Wednesdays, at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock.

We Know When Wicked For Good's Trailer Will Be Debuting, But There's A Bit Of A Catch
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It's kind of an understatement to say that director Jon M. Chu's Wicked: For Good is a 'hotly anticipated' entry on the 2025 movie schedule. Anyone having doubts about my prediction could easily point to the fact that despite Universal's 2025 CinemaCon panel showing off some footage of the picture, fans haven't had the chance to gaze upon a trailer for the conclusion of this Oz-ified musical story yet. Well, I've got some good news and some news you might not be too pleased with, as you'll be able to see Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in full regalia real soon. However, it sounds like there's only one way you'll be able to get back to Oz for For Good's first trailer, and you'll have to click more than your heels. First, here's the good news: per a press release from Universal Pictures, the release of Wicked: For Good's first trailer is set to take place on June 4th! In fact, the event is being billed as something truly 'global,' as it's going to take place 'simultaneously in all North American time zones.' And that's where the catch comes in, as it sounds like you'll only be able to see this sizzle reel in theaters. But at least it's attached to special bring-back screenings of Wicked, which you can currently purchase tickets for. So it's not like you're showing up for a preview and then dipping to go back to lawn work. Now, I'm sure there are plenty of people who aren't afraid to return to a theater near them to see For Good's first trailer and laugh, cry, and potentially sing along with this meteoric box office hit of 2024. However, one has to wonder how many of those fans are ready to follow through with that desire, especially on a random Wednesday. Peacock TV: from $7.99 a month/$79.99 a yearAll it takes is $7.99 a month to jump into the basic plan for Peacock TV. But with that investment, you not only get to stream Wicked, but you'll also find the documentary Defying Gravity: The Curtain Rises on Wicked. And with a special live musical event heading to NBC and Peacock this fall, you may want to keep that subscription active and enjoy everything the streaming home of NBC, Universal, and Bravo has to offer! View Deal While I'm someone who always advocates for the theatrical experience, especially when revisiting old favorites, I'd be foolish not to mention that a Peacock subscription could very easily scratch this itch for some, and right at this very moment. However, it would seem that Universal has some surprises in store for those who do choose to fly into the western sky once more to see Wicked and its sequel's trailer in theaters. So if you do go to this Wicked screening on June 4th, there's apparently going to be exclusive 'giveaways' for attendees. While that's a rather vague promise, what's for certain is that you'll be able to land yourself a commemorative poster for Wicked: For Good. And it I had to guess, it'll be a print of the image you see below: Don't take this the wrong way, but I can practically hear fans weeping over the mere invocation of that title, and the image of Elphaba and Glinda separated by a wide chasm that leads down the Yellow Brick Road. I mean, this is everything you would want out of a teaser poster - and it looks pretty spectacular. Though I'm not a die-hard obsessive over Wicked, I did really enjoy the first half of Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande's journey. And while this isn't a $16K charity performance with Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, I'm inclined to check this out for myself. Provided, of course, that this announcement hasn't led to another case similar to how Sinners' second IMAX 70mm run instantly sold out. So if you're rejoicifying that Wicked will be back in theaters AND you'll get to see the first trailer for its sequel during this special screening, go grab your tickets now! And don't forget that Wicked: For Good is set to hit theaters on November 21st; which may lead to some unsurprising double feature events. At least, one could only hope.
