Things are heating up in Fiji, where 10 sexy singles are competing for love and $100,000 on Love Island USA. But the season has already gotten off to a rocky start as contestant Yulissa Escobar was mysteriously removed from the villa in the middle of Season 6, Episode 2.

Escobar was present throughout the beginning of Episode 2 as the contestants wrapped up the kissing challenge and debriefed afterwards. She is also seen getting ready for bed along with the other contestants. But the next morning, around the 18-minute mark in Episode 2, narrator Iain Stirling announced Escobar was no longer on the show, saying, “Yulissa has left the villa.” Stirling provided no additional details regarding her exit.

A spokesperson for Peacock confirmed to DECIDER that Escobar is no longer in the villa. A reason was also not provided.

The edit makes it appear as if Escobar was asked to leave the villa seemingly overnight. The next day, none of the contestants addressed her absence. However, Escobar’s partner, Ace Greene, is confirmed to be single on the show after her departure.

Her departure comes after TMZ shared resurfaced clips of her using the N-word several times during a podcast appearance while discussing past relationships.

Fans on social media have long been criticizing the contestant after other videos and photos from her social media showed her expressing support for President Donald Trump. Her digital footprint left viewers wondering whether the Love Island USA producers vetted the contestants well enough for Season 7.

In one video shared on X, Escobar can be seen saying, “I lost about 600 followers just because I’m a Trump supporter. Everybody’s entitled to their own fucking opinion.”

Many fans even vowed to vote her out once fan voting became available on the Love Island USA app. But it looks like the Love Island USA producers took matters into their own hands and ejected the controversial contestant to avoid any further backlash.

New episodes of Love Island USA air on Peacock at 9 p.m. ET every day until next Tuesday, June 10.
