Love Island USA Fans Call Out Yulissa Escobar for Using the N-Word
We're only one episode into Love Island USA Season 7, and there's already a contestant on the verge of cancellation. Love Island fans have called out a new Islander named Yulissa Escobar for casually dropping the N-word.
To be clear, this didn't happen on the show. Peacock hasn't gotten that out of control. However, her comments happened during two separate podcast appearances. The clips are circulating online, and the situation has Love Island fans livid.
Season 7 of Love Island USA premiered on Tuesday, June 3. In the days leading up to the premiere, fans had somehow resurfaced clips of Yulissa on a podcast using the N-word a total of three times. The clips show her using the racial slur when talking about some boyfriend drama.
Yulissa's Instagram comments started getting flooded with angry fans. If you didn't believe us, just take a peek at her cast announcement from the show's Instagram account. There are hundreds of comments from fans promising to use the Love Island USA app to vote this woman out of the Villa.
'America this is your chance to finally getting the voting right,' wrote one fan. Another added, 'Get her out of my villa.'
As reported by TMZ, Yulissa has been getting dragged on her personal Instagram as well. She's too busy looking for love in the Villa to know, but one of her friends is on Instagram defending Yulissa's use of the slur.
'lol… y'all act like you never said the N word before, stop being so f*cking sensitive,' commented Yulissa's friend, Maria.
Unfortunately, Yulissa isn't the first Islander to get busted using anti-Black language. Season 6's Hannah Smith got arrested outside of a Gracie Abrams concert after throwing a racially-charged tantrum and threatening to kill a police officer. Maybe Hannah and Yulissa should start a podcast.
Love Island USA continues tonight at 9/8c on Peacock.

WWE's Liv Morgan will be out for several months due to a shoulder injury. File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI June 24 (UPI) -- WWE star Liv Morgan will miss several months of action due to a shoulder injury she suffered last week. WWE commentator Corey Graves made the announcement while discussing Morgan's injury on Raw Monday. Advertisement Morgan is currently one half of the Women's Tag Team Champions alongside her partner Raquel Rodriguez. WWE has not announced what will happen to the titles. Morgan suffered a dislocated shoulder June 16 during her match against Kairi Sane on Raw. The incident happened shortly after the match started when Morgan received a single-leg takedown from Sane. The move was performed properly, however, Morgan yelled in pain and the match was immediately paused. WWE superstar Liv Morgan throws the ceremonial first pitch before the Colorado Rockies-St. Louis Cardinals baseball game at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Mo., in 2022.

Sand tiger shark likely bit woman at New York beach, officials say
A 20-year-old woman was swimming in waist-deep water at a popular beach in Long Island, New York, when officials believe she was most likely bitten by a young sand tiger shark earlier this week. EMTs and lifeguards immediately responded to the swimmer at Jones Beach State Park, and she was taken to the hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening 'minor lacerations' to her left foot and leg, New York State Parks said in a Friday statement. It was the beach's first reported shark sighting of 2025, New York State Parks Regional Director George Gorman told CNN affiliate WCBS. The Wednesday incident, which has lifeguards on high alert, comes ahead of the busy Fourth of July holiday weekend and two summers after a wave of possible shark sightings and apparent attack shook up New York beachgoers. The woman, who reported the bite around 4:15 p.m., told officials she didn't see what bit her, and swimming at Jones Beach was immediately suspended, the statement said. Officials on Wednesday searched unsuccessfully for dangerous marine life using drones. Before the beach was reopened for swimming on Thursday, park police and staff again used drones to identify marine life in the area while lifeguards patrolled from the shore and by watercraft, according to the statement. 'Park Police, lifeguards, and staff remain on high alert will continue to proactively patrol by drone, PWS, and surfboats throughout the season to help protect swimmers,' New York State Parks said. Despite the encounter, the risk of being attacked by the often misunderstood creatures remains low, experts say. Sharks don't seek out humans and most incidents are cases of mistaken identity – including by juvenile sharks that fail to distinguish between humans and their prey, shark researchers have told CNN. Without the victim having seen the animal or sightings by subsequent drone searches, park officials teamed up with experts to determine which marine species may have caused these injuries. Biologists at the state's Department of Environmental Conservation cautiously concluded the incident 'most likely' involved a juvenile sand tiger shark, the statement said. The experts 'reviewed situational information provided by subjects at the scene, as well as photos of the injury, and were able to rule out several species,' it said. They emphasized that 'without direct observation of the animal that caused the bites a full expert consensus was not reached.' 'I been here my whole life and never seen a shark in here,' Alejandro Aranjo told CNN affiliate WABC. Aranjo visits Jones Beach with his family, but following Wednesday's incident, 'I don't even know if I'm going to let them go in to be honest.' Unprovoked attacks by sharks declined sharply in 2024, with 47 incidents logged worldwide, down 22 from the previous year and significantly below a 10-year average of 70, according to figures released in February. The United States experienced the highest number of unprovoked attacks by sharks, with 28 reported incidents, including one fatal attack by an unknown shark species off the northwest coast of Oahu, Hawaii. That US total, however, was almost a third lower than in 2023. Florida had more unprovoked shark bites recorded than any other state, with a total of 14 incidents last year, according to the Florida Museum of Natural History, which compiles the International Shark Attack File. CNN's Kasie Hunt contributed to this report.
