Yulissa Escobar's exit from Love Island USA was prompted by resurfaced podcast clips in which she used racial slurs. The social media backlash against her was immediate, with fans expressing outrage and threatening to vote her out. After her departure, Yulissa issued a public apology on Instagram acknowledging the harmful nature of her previous words. She emphasized that while her intent was not to offend, she understands the significant impact and historical context of such language, recognizing that it is not her place to use it in any context.
In those clips, I used a word I never should've used, a racial slur. I used it ignorantly, not fully understanding the weight, history, or pain behind it.
I wasn't trying to be offensive or harmful, but I recognize now that intention doesn't excuse impact. And the impact of that word is real.
