She is part of the new season seven cast list as a newly-single contestant who just came out of a nine-year relationship, but a podcast interview she done has landed her in backlash.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>*Warning: Article contains mentions of racism that you may find uncomfortable*<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Love Island&#8217;s Yulissa was caught saying the n-word<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:500px\" ><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/LoveIslandUSA\/comments\/1l19ahx\/second_video_of_yulissa_saying_nword\/\">SECOND video of yulissa saying n-word<\/a><br \/> by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Salt_Solid_6157\/\">u\/Salt_Solid_6157<\/a> in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/LoveIslandUSA\/\">LoveIslandUSA<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.reddit.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Love Island USA&#8217;s Yulissa was caught saying the n-word in a video three times. She is seen saying, &#8220;Are you that n**** that controls what she wears?&#8221; and, in a separate video in a podcast, is heard saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m not perfect, now I&#8217;m f***ing my n****, he&#8217;s my n*****.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s wearing the same red hat she wears in the video in a recent photo on her Instagram, which has led to people suggesting the podcast was filmed not that long ago. Yulissa, who is 27 years old, is now &#8220;ready to find her knight in shining armour&#8221; on the show.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reality Shrine has contacted Yulissa for comment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>She&#8217;s had major backlash from show viewers<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:500px\" ><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/LoveIslandUSA\/comments\/1l157di\/yulissa_saying_the_nword\/\">Yulissa saying the n-word<\/a><br \/> by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/Juvtheperson\/\">u\/Juvtheperson<\/a> in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/LoveIslandUSA\/\">LoveIslandUSA<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.reddit.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>People are vowing to vote Yulissa out and the show hasn&#8217;t even begun yet. However, a clip of Yulissa walking into the villa shows she&#8217;s most definitely already headed in there, despite the backlash that she&#8217;s receiving online at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Yulissa won&#8217;t have access to her socials, and therefore won&#8217;t see the hate. She describes herself in her introduction video saying she&#8217;s a &#8220;bundle of joy that just came out of nowhere&#8221; but people are saying they&#8217;re &#8220;voting her off at the first button&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Some people are also hating on her for being a Donald Trump supporter, as she has previously revealed she voted for him in a TikTok video and allegedly had posted photos wearing MAGA hats on her social media page.<\/p>\n<p><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and updates \u2013 like\u00a0<\/i><i
