Love Island USA Removes Alannah Keyser After 2 Resurfaced Racist Posts

Summary
Alannah Keyser exited "Love Island USA" on Thursday’s episode, with narrator Iain Stirling announcing she had left Casa Amor after resurfaced posts showed her using racial slurs.
Peacock said the material was not publicly available during casting, so it was not caught in vetting before Keyser entered Season 8 as a Casa Amor bombshell.
Tuesday’s episode had already largely edited Keyser out, even as her connection with Zach Georgiou deepened and threatened fallout for Kayda ahead of Friday’s recoupling.
Season 8 has now lost 2 contestants over racist content after Vasana Montgomery was cut before airing, extending a pattern that also saw Yulissa Escobar and Cierra Miller removed in prior seasons.
