Oh honey, Love Island USA already spilled this season’s first tea. Prior to the twentieth minute of episode two, the tea is scalding hot. Cast member Yulissa Escobar left the building and the manner in which she was so nonchalant about it on the June 4th episode like a forecast? Diabolical.
But don’t get it twisted. This wasn’t that classic “I don’t see the connection” exit. Yulissa’s abrupt exit came just days after internet detectives uncovered receipts of her using the N-word twice on two podcasts. And honey, the internet didn’t forget or forgive.
Here’s what went down in this messy departure, the internet detective work behind it, and why Twitter is doing victory laps about her vanishing.
“Yulissa Has Left the Villa,” and the Girls Haven’t Stopped Clapping Since
At exactly 18 minutes into the second episode of Love Island USA season 7, Peacock dropped the bomb casually.”Yulissa has left the villa.”
No fire pit drama. No slow-motion cry; stagger to the taxi. Just poof. Gone.
When WHERE IS THE BUZZ reached out to Peacock for comment, the streamer publicly confirmed her firing in a brief but ahemmed no comment. No release. No statement. A cold, corporate ghosting. Hmmm.
But the timeline does tell us quite a bit.
The Podcasts, the Slurs, and the Instant Cancellation Heard Around the Villa
Peacock announced the list of cast members on May 29. It took the internet less than 72 hours to discover two separate podcast interviews in which Escobar was throwing the N-word around like it was dialogue.
The backlash was immediate. The tone was unstoppable. Fans had already made up their minds that she was on probation.
She Stole a Man and Lost the Whole Show. Girl Math Isn’t Mathing
Before she left, Yulissa made the executive decision to pair off with Ace Greene. One small issue. He was already paired off with Chelley Bissainthe. The move was risky, but bystanders timed it as desperation.
Far from being a bombshell, she presented herself more as a walkaround red flag with an ego bath. The vibe was off from day one.
The Internet Dragged Her Like a Lacefront in a Wind Tunnel
When Yulissa went missing, Twitter didn’t skip a beat. It wasn’t happiness. It was a parade. Here is the internet at its worst:
“The producers woke up Yulissa from her sleep to show her the exit lmfaoo”
“Didn’t even know Yulissa was missing until the fire pit, they gobbled that”
“YULISSA HAS LEFT THE VILLA LETSSSS GOOOOO”
“How they managed to fit in ‘Yulissa has left the villa’ there so smoothly like pls be real. For no reason”
And one of them even joked, “Next time it should be ‘Austin has also left the villa,’” and seriously?
Is This a Love Island or an Escape Room?
Peacock was already testing fans’ patience with a disorganized, delayed premiere on June 3. The show was supposed to land at 9 p.m. ET, and when it didn’t, fans were enraged.
Forty-five minutes and one half-hearted apology later, it finally materialized. Now that surprise casting cuts are being added mid-show like the small print on a pill bottle, fans are wondering what in the world is happening there.
No Confessional, No Exit Speech, Just Poof Out of Thin Air
Peacock gave Yulissa the coldest boot in Love Island history. No music. No montage. No “my journey ends here” sob story. Just one blink-and-you-miss-it line. “Yulissa has left the villa.”
It’s giving HR walked her out the back door at 4 a.m. with a blanket and a juice box.
The Streets Are Clear, and the Villa Is Cleaner
Peacock is not keeping quiet, but their actions are speaking volumes. Racism will get you axed faster than a bad spray tan. The message was swift. The delivery was kind. And the followers? They’re shouting with glee.
And then there’s Yulissa Escobar, who came in loud and went out soft. And according to Twitter, that’s the way it was supposed to be done.
Love Island USA airs every night at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock, except for Wednesdays, when supposedly the wild is running things. Take it with a grain of patience. If week one was this way, season 7 may be the messiest, pettiest, most unforgivable season to date.
