‘Love Island USA’ star Alannah Keyser fired after using racial slur in resurfaced video

“Love Island USA” star Alannah Keyser has reportedly been fired from the show after she was caught appearing to use a racial slur in a resurfaced video.

Keyser, 21, has continued to appear on the latest episodes of the Peacock reality show amid the resurfaced video causing outrage online. But the US Sun reported Wednesday that Keyser has been fired.

“Producers edited Alannah out as much as possible from episodes that were pre-taped before the resurfaced racial slur video was exposed,” a production source told the outlet.

“She couldn’t be removed completely, but her scenes were significantly trimmed down in Tuesday’s episode,” they added.

According to the source, the USC film school student will not be in episodes from Thursday onward.

“Producers were disappointed and embarrassed that this has become another mishap,” they said.

Page Six reached out to Peacock but didn’t immediately receive a response.

Keyser was introduced in the show as a bombshell when the men went to Casa Amor to meet an all-new batch of women.

But just hours after the episode premiered, fans found a video where Keyser allegedly sings along to a song and uses the N-word.

Additionally, social media users also found a resurfaced Instagram comment from Keyser where she, again, allegedly used the N-word. It’s unclear when either of these instances happened.

Her dad, Stephane Keyser, defended his daughter on Monday, telling TMZ that she was definitely not racist and is an “educated sweetheart.”

This is the second time a “Love Island” star has been kicked off the show early this season for using a racial slur.

Last month, Vasana Montgomery was fired before filming even began because she was filmed allegedly singing the N-word in a song lyric.

At the time, a source close to production told Decider that the videos were privately owned and that they were only made aware of them after Montgomery had been announced as part of the Season 8 cast.
