It seems \u201cLove Island USA\u201d producers pulled one bombshell aside for a chat, one that has led to her firing from the hit reality dating series. <\/p>\n
Contestant Alannah Keyser\u2019s time in Fiji has officially come to an end as she faces backlash for apparently using a racial slur in a video and social media comments that recently resurfaced on social media. \u201cLove Island USA\u201d streamer Peacock confirmed to The Times on Friday that Keyser, a film student at USC from Miami, will no longer appear on the series. She is the second contestant Peacock dismissed this season<\/a> over a racial slur scandal.<\/p>\n Keyser made her \u201cLove Island USA\u201d debut last week as one of the six women hopeful to strike up a connection with the male contestants in Casa Amor, testing the men\u2019s relationship with their partners back in the villa. Keyser appeared to pair up with contestant Zach Georgiou. In her debut episode, she informed Georgiou she had a brief romance with his older brother Charlie, a previous \u201cLove Island USA\u201d contestant. <\/p>\n \u201cLove Island USA\u201d parted ways with contestant Alannah Keyser after she used a racial slur in social media comments and posts. <\/p>\n (Ben Symons \/ Peacock)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n She faced allegations of racism amid her first \u201cLove Island USA\u201d episode when a social media user surfaced screenshots of Keyser allegedly using the N-word on Snapchat and Instagram. A user on X (formerly Twitter) also published video of Keyser seemingly saying the slur as she sings along to Roddy Ricch\u2019s \u201cThe Box\u201d at a party. Some viewers \u2014 and other contestants on the series \u2014 also observed that Keyser interacted less with the Black men on the series in her debut episode. <\/p>\n A source familiar with \u201cLove Island USA\u201d production said the controversial video and posts only became public on social media after Keyser\u2019s first episode and that the posts were not viewable during the series\u2019 vetting process. Peacock confirmed Kesyer\u2019s firing hours after the U.S. Sun reported<\/a> her exit and minimized screen time. \u201cProducers were disappointed and embarrassed that this has become another mishap,\u201d a source told the outlet. <\/p>\n Keyser did not immediately respond to a request for comment via social media. <\/p>\n Keyser is the fourth \u201cLove Island USA\u201d contestant in two years to face scrutiny for her past use of racial slurs. Earlier this month, Peacock pulled beauty technician Vasana Montgomery<\/a> from its Season 8 lineup before the season started. Last year, contestant Cierra Ortega <\/a>prematurely left the villa as she faced criticism for her past social media posts that included a slur for Chinese (and, more generally, Asian) people. A month before that, contestant Yulissa Escobar<\/a> was dismissed by the season\u2019s second episode amid social media outcry over her use of the N-word. <\/p>\n Those three contestants have since publicly apologized for their posts. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.latimes.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It seems \u201cLove Island USA\u201d producers pulled one bombshell aside for a chat, one that has led to her firing from the hit reality dating series.
