Unfiltered Take:
Yulissa Escobar gets dumped from Season 7 of "Love Island USA" after some shady podcast leaks!
That's right, the 27-year-old Miami gal, known for her mobile bar, is outta the villa following some racially-charged video clips that have left the nation cringing. TMZ spilled the tea on two podcast clips where Escobar used vile racial slurs while chatting about men and romance dramas. Ouch!
Host Iain Stirling didn't sugarcoat it, announcing Escobar's exit during episode 2 on June 4 without spilling the reason behind it. The show's parent company, Peacock, confirmed to NBC News that Escobar is no longer on the villa, but avoided providing specifics as to why.
Fans are probably loving Escobar's exit given the controversy it stirred, with comments like "Love Island stood on business and I love that" flooding social media. As of now, Escobar hasn't spoken out publicly about the situation.
During the cast's intro uploaded on YouTube, Escobar revealed she was in a nine-year relationship before joining the show. Her mom hails from Cuba and her dad from Missouri. When asked about her personality, Escobar warned, "I could be fire, so don't play with fire because you might get burned, baby."
