Yulissa Escobar has left Love Island USA Season 7 a day after the premiere episode on Peacock.
The show addressed her exit around the 17-minute mark of the second episode of the dating series competition that dropped on Wednesday night.
“Yulissa has left the villa,” Love Island USA narrator Iain Stirling said.
No reason was given for Yulissa’s exit, but it comes amid backlash on social media following resurfaced racist comments from the past. After Peacock unveiled the names of the Islanders heading to Fiji for Season 7 of the reality dating competition, internet sleuths found a clip of Yulissa using the n-word repeatedly.
Yulissa seemingly made an appearance on a podcast where she casually used the n-word, which had fans of the reality series appalled.
Deadline has reached out to Peacock for comment and will update when we hear back.
Watch how Love Island USA addresses Yulissa’s exit.
