Just one day after the sizzling premiere hit Peacock, Islander Yulissa Escobar was forced to exit the villa after she reportedly used a racial slur.
Her shock departure was casually dropped around the 17-minute mark of Wednesday night’s episode, with the show’s narrator, Iain Stirling, announcing, “Yulissa has left the villa.”
Producers did not explain why Yulissa was booted from the show, but a resurfaced clip has been circulating online, allegedly showing Yulissa casually using the n-word multiple times during an old podcast appearance.
