Peacock has removed another "Love Island USA" contestant from the current season after past social media content showing the use of a racial slur resurfaced online. Alannah Keyser, who entered the villa as a Casa Amor bombshell on the June 21 episode, was officially cut from the show following Thursday night's broadcast.

Keyser, 21, a film student from Miami, had been in the villa for less than a week before the controversial material came to light. The video appeared to show her singing along to Roddy Ricch's 2019 track "The Box," using a racial slur in the lyrics. Additional screenshots reportedly showed her using the same slur in private messages on social media.

According to production sources, the video and posts originated from private accounts and were not publicly available before Keyser's appearance on the show. This meant the material could not be accessed during Peacock's standard contestant vetting process, which typically screens applicants' public social media histories for problematic content.

The network confirmed Keyser's departure during Thursday's episode, with narrator Iain Stirling briefly announcing, "Alannah has left Casa Amor" following a commercial break. She had appeared in the first portion of the episode, shown developing a connection with fellow contestant Zach Georgiou, before her abrupt exit.

The removal comes amid growing scrutiny of contestants' past online activity. Fans had already noticed Keyser's screen time was significantly reduced in Tuesday's episode, leading to speculation that producers were editing her out of pre-taped footage.

The controversy extends beyond a single video. Social media users also circulated screenshots of what appeared to be Instagram comments and Snapchat messages attributed to Keyser, which allegedly contained racial slurs. While some of this content originated from private accounts, it quickly went viral after her television debut.

This marks the second time this season that "Love Island USA" has removed a contestant over past use of racial slurs. Vasana Montgomery, 25, was cut from the show before the season premiered on June 2 after videos surfaced showing her using the N-word in similar contexts.

Montgomery addressed the controversy in an Instagram Stories statement, writing, "In those videos, I used a racial slur. There is no excuse for it, and I am deeply sorry. I am embarrassed and disappointed by my words." She added that she has since educated herself on the impact of such language but acknowledged that her personal growth does not erase the mistake.

The pattern of contestant removals extends to previous seasons of the reality dating franchise. During Season 7, Yulissa Escobar was removed shortly after the premiere when podcast clips emerged showing her using racial slurs. Later that same season, Cierra Ortega was also cut after offensive social media posts targeting Chinese people resurfaced online.

Ortega's departure was attributed on-air to a "personal situation," though she later acknowledged the controversy and apologized for her past remarks. Ortega, who is of Puerto Rican and Mexican heritage, also disclosed that her family had faced harassment following the public backlash.

"Love Island USA" has become one of Peacock's most successful original series, drawing significant viewership since its move to the streaming platform. Season 8 continues to air weeknights at 9 p.m. ET, with episodes available for streaming on Peacock.

The repeated controversies have raised questions about the effectiveness of vetting procedures in reality television casting. While production sources maintain that private social media content remains difficult to screen, critics argue that networks bear responsibility for thoroughly researching contestants' digital footprints before bringing them on air.

The show has approximately three weeks remaining before crowning "America's Favorite Couple" for Season 8. It remains unclear whether additional vetting measures will be implemented for future seasons given the recurring nature of these incidents.

Keyser has not yet publicly commented on her removal or the resurfaced content. Her past social media accounts have since been made private or deleted entirely.
