LOVE Island USA has been thrown into chaos after the show quietly revealed one contestant exited the villa less than two days into the season – following her racist slur comments resurfacing.
During episode two of season seven, Peacock announced that Yulissa Escobar had already departed – leaving viewers stunned.

Narrator Ian Stirling, who also narrates the UK version of the show, revealed: “Yulissa has left the villa.”
After the cast announcement, fans of the show quickly uncovered audio clips of Yulissa saying racist slurs, according to TMZ.
According to the outlet, it was discovered that she said the N-word on two separate podcasts.
The site also states “she casually drops the racially-charged word 3 times while talking about some messy man drama”.
The 27-year-old was coupled up with fellow OG Islander Ace Greene.
It was also noted later in the episode that Ace is now single following Yulissa’s departure.
Peacock announced the cast of this series on Thursday, May 29.
The remaining season seven Islanders include: Chelley Bissainthe, Huda Mustafa, Belle-A Walker, Olandria Carthen, Greene, and Taylor Williams.
As well as: Nicolas Vansteenberghe, Jeremiah Brown and Austin Shepard.
Love Island USA season seven is currently streaming on Peacock, with Ariana Madix returning as host.
At the end of episode one earlier this week, the first two bombshells, Cierra Ortega and Charlie Georgiou, entered the villa.
This comes amid chaos in the UK version of Love Island before the show has even started.
Kyle Ashman was sensationally axed from the show on Tuesday night just hours after being revealed as one of the new Islanders for the upcoming series.
The 23-year-old was sent packing after The Sun alerted show bosses that he was arrested on suspicion of a machete attack, despite being cleared by police.

ITV chiefs sent him home from Majorca, plunging the show into chaos ahead of next week’s launch show.
Love Island UK also deleted all traces of Kyle off of their social media pages.
The show even unfollowed him swiftly, wasting no time in cutting ties
An insider told The Sun: “Bosses wanted to sort the situation as quickly as possible and that meant just getting rid of his connection to the show.
“It’s like it never happened.”
