Why Yulissa Escobar Really LeftLove Island USA— The Unspoken Truth
So, if you’ve been keeping up with Love Island USA Season 7, then you probably noticed something a little... abrupt. Yep, I’m talking about Yulissa Escobar's sudden exit from the villa — and if you blinked, you may have missed it. One minute she was part of the cast, the next, narrator Iain Stirling just casually drops, “Yulissa has left the villa,” about 18 minutes into episode two. No explanation, no dramatic walkout, no teary goodbye. Just — gone.
Naturally, fans were quick to jump online, and it didn’t take long before the real reason behind her departure started surfacing. Apparently, some older podcast clips of Yulissa began making the rounds, and in those recordings, she’s reportedly heard using racial slurs — including the N-word — multiple times. This stirred up a wave of backlash on social media, with many viewers calling her out and demanding her removal from the show.

At this point, it’s unclear whether Yulissa was voluntarily pulled from the show or if production stepped in and made that decision for her. But let’s be honest: once those clips went viral, it was only a matter of time before the network had to address it somehow — even if just subtly. What makes it all feel a bit odd is how the show basically edited her out without much explanation, and Peacock hasn’t issued a full public statement beyond the bare minimum.
This wasn’t just a minor controversy either. Fans flooded her social media pages with comments, saying they planned to vote her off the island the moment they got the chance. But before that could even happen, she was already gone. And because Love Island contestants can’t access their phones in the villa, Yulissa hasn’t had a chance to publicly respond to the backlash — at least not yet.
Interestingly, she wasn’t the only contestant catching heat this week. Another islander, Austin Shepard, also faced criticism after screenshots allegedly showed his TikTok likes supporting Donald Trump. But unlike Yulissa, he’s still in the villa. So naturally, fans are now wondering: where’s the line? Why is one contestant removed while another stays?
Yulissa’s exit has sparked an important conversation about accountability and the digital footprints cast members bring into these shows. In the age of social media receipts and resurfaced audio clips, what you say online doesn’t just disappear. Whether it’s from a podcast, a tweet, or a livestream, your past can — and will — catch up with you.
In the end, Yulissa's departure from Love Island USA Season 7 wasn't just about a random exit. It was about the weight of past words, the power of public opinion, and the evolving standards of reality TV in a very connected world.
