Summary
Alannah Keyser was pulled from Love Island USA after resurfaced posts from a private social account appeared to show her lip-syncing the n-word and using the slur in messages.
Peacock had not flagged the material during vetting because the posts were not public before Keyser entered the villa, according to reports cited by Variety.
Keyser had joined the show on Sunday as a Casa Amor "bombshell" and still appeared in the first 20 minutes of Thursday's episode before the narrator announced, "Alannah has left Casa Amor."
The exit marks the second removal this season over racist language after Vasana Montgomery was dropped before the lineup launch; two contestants were also removed for slur-related incidents in last year's seventh season.
