Former “Love Island USA” contestant Yulissa Escobar is addressing Cierra Ortega’s departure from the show, calling for compassion over cyberbullying

Former "Love Island USA" cast member Yulissa Escobar says her N-word scandal went from folks holding her accountable to people sending her death threats and vile scorn ... and she's sharing some of the hateful messages she says she's been getting.

Contestants Yulissa Escobar and Cierra Ortega were removed from 'Love Island USA' for past use of racial slurs.

In a candid TikTok post, Yulissa walked fans through what she says actually happened behind the scenes, clarifying that she wasn’t “dragged out” or removed in the middle of the night. “So, regular a– day. I did not wake up in the middle of the night, they didn’t get me in the f---ing morning. They didn’t drag my a-- out of bed,” she said.
