Love Island USA has officially dropped contestant Yulissa Escobar in the second episode of the 7th season.

This move took place after clips surfaced of her using racial slurs on a podcast.

There was no context provided for her exit on the show, it was just announced that, “Yulissa has left the villa.” Either the contestant was removed during the night or has been edited out of the episode.

Escobar had been facing intense backlash since the clips resurfaced, with the footage obtained by TMZ showing her saying the N-word repeatedly while she talked about her previous relationships.

She is far from the only controversial member on the show, as fans started exposing the TikTok likes of season 7 contestant, Austin Shepard.

His list of likes included those supporting controversial U.S. President Donald Trump, however, he is still on the show.

The rest of the female cast includes Chelley Bissainthe, Huda Mustafa, Belle-A Walker and Olandria Carthen.

Meanwhile, the male contestants include Ace Greene, Taylor Williams, Nicolas Vansteenberghe and Jeremiah Brown.

The bombshell contestants who came to the villa on night one are Cierra Ortega and Charlie Georgiou.
