Yulissa Escobar's sudden departure from Love Island USA sent shockwaves through the villa and the internet. Now, she's finally setting the record straight about exactly how it all went down. Forget the rumors of being dragged out in the dead of night – Yulissa says her exit was far more straightforward, though still undoubtedly dramatic.
Yulissa's TikTok Tell-All
In a recent TikTok video, Yulissa addressed the speculation surrounding her departure. "Plot twist: I wasn’t dragged out in the dark. I walked out in broad daylight head high, lashes on," she declared. She emphasized that she wasn't woken up in the middle of the night or unceremoniously removed from her bed.
According to Yulissa, the day began like any other. Ace Greene even made her breakfast. She and Ace were even planning on spicing things up in the villa with a game of spin the bottle to get to know everyone better. However, things took a turn when production intervened.
The Moment of Truth
Yulissa explained that the contestants don't have access to the outside world or the time while in the villa. She was called to the front, where a producer asked her to remove her microphone. "I honestly got scared," she admitted. "I thought something happened with a family member or something."
She was then informed that a video had resurfaced online and "it’s not looking too good." Yulissa didn't know what video or what she had said. She later discovered the video contained her using racial slurs on various podcasts.
What the Other Islanders Knew
Jeremiah Brown revealed that the remaining islanders were told Yulissa left for personal reasons. They only found out the full story after getting their phones back. This lack of transparency fueled further speculation and online discussion.
Addressing the Controversy
Yulissa has since apologized for her past use of racial slurs. She expressed remorse for using a word she had no right to use. The controversy highlights the importance of accountability and the impact of past actions in the public eye.
