5 june 2025 в 23:50
Love Island USA always drowns in drama, but the seventh season started on an even worse note for one of the former contestants: Yulissa Escobar, a local resident of Miami, who initially won over fans with her unapologetic charm. However, after several clips from podcasts surfaced where Yulissa used racist expressions, Peacock subscribers promised to kick the 27-year-old girl off the island. When the second episode aired, it was revealed that Yulissa had left. So, what happened to her, and does she have a public statement about it?
Below, Hollywood Life has gathered all the details we know so far about Yulissa’s sudden departure from Love Island USA.
Yulissa is a real estate agent from Miami, Florida, and works in the hospitality industry with her mobile bar Aesthetic Events & Production. When she got a short role on Love Island USA, Yulissa revealed that she had been in a nine-year relationship before entering the villa.
«I was in a nine-year relationship. He left me», - she said in a video announcement, adding, «I'm glad he broke my heart because look at me here. I want my husband to cherish me».
In a promo post for Yulissa on Love Island USA, she was described as someone who «values kindness, connection, and staying true to herself».
Peacock did not explain the reason for Yulissa’s departure from the show. The only acknowledgment they gave was during the second episode of the seventh season when announcer Ian Sterling said, «Welcome back to Love Island USA. Yulissa has left the villa».
Yulissa’s departure happened shortly after TMZ published a report that Love Island fans pointed out that she used a racist expression in two different podcasts. Social media users exploded with comments on Yulissa’s Instagram after the premiere of the seventh season.
According to TMZ, one of Yulissa’s friends, Maria, defended her on Instagram, commenting, «Lol… you act like you’ve never said the N-word, stop being so sensitive».
No, Yulissa did not comment on her departure from Love Island USA at the time of publication. Before she was pulled out of the villa, Yulissa was coupled with Ace Green, even though he was already with Chelly Bissen. After he and Yulissa became a couple, Chelly and Austin Shepard got together
