Yulissa Escobar will not be finding love in the villa on Season 7 of “Love Island USA.”
The 27-year-old from Miami exited the show on the second day after video clips surfaced online that appear to show Escobar using racist language while on a podcast. In two podcast clips shared by TMZ, Escobar used racial slurs when talking about men and relationship drama.
Escobar’s abrupt exit was not given any context on the show.
“Welcome back to Love Island USA,” series narrator Iain Stirling said at the top of day two, which aired Wednesday. “Yulissa has left the villa.”
Although it is unclear exactly when Escobar left the show’s villa in Fiji, she was last shown sleeping during the first night with 22-year-old Ace Greene, with whom she coupled up during the first episode. Escobar coupled up with Greene after he was already paired up with another contestant, Chelley Bissainthe.
It is also unclear if Escobar was edited out of the show.
“Love Island USA” is streaming on Peacock, which NBCUniversal owns. Peacock confirmed to NBC News that Escobar left the villa, but did not offer specific details on the reason for her departure.
Escobar, who owns a mobile bar in Miami, has not yet publicly spoken on the backlash. She last shared photos from the first day in the villa on her Instagram story on Wednesday night. She did not immediately respond to an NBC News request for comment.
During cast introductions shared on YouTube, Escobar revealed she was in a 9-year relationship prior to coming on the show. Her mother was born in Cuba, and her father was born in Missouri.
“I could be fire, so don’t play with fire because you might burned, baby,” Escobar said in a clip shared on Instagram.
Some fans of the show celebrated Escobar’s exit in the comments of the post, writing “Love Island stood on business and I love that👏😭.”
