Introduction to Yulissa Escobar’s Departure
Love Island USA has always been a platform for budding romances, but early in season seven, an unexpected twist occurred: Yulissa Escobar abruptly left the Fiji villa. Her departure raised eyebrows, especially given that she exited halfway through the second episode.
The Circumstances Surrounding Her Exit
During the June 4 episode, narrator Iain Stirling informed viewers of Yulissa’s exit, stating, “Yulissa has left the villa.” This revelation came as a surprise to many fans, particularly since she was last seen sleeping next to Ace Green, her current partner in the show. Following her exit, Peacock confirmed to E! News that Escobar would no longer be part of Love Island USA.
Backlash and Reasons for Departure
The abrupt end to Yulissa’s journey in the villa was compounded by the online backlash she faced after resurfaced clips of her using the n-word on several podcasts emerged. In addition, her previous support of former President Donald Trump drew criticism, leading to a hostile response from fans who vowed to vote her off the show.
As one user noted, “Love Island stood on business and I love that.” Another sentiment expressed that fans were left feeling “robbed” of the chance to vote her out, highlighting the division her presence had created. While Yulissa has exited the competition, other contestants, including Ace Green, Austin Shepard, and several new bombshells, continue to seek love in the villa.
