Yulissa Escobar, a former contestant on 'Love Island USA,' was struck by another woman at a Taco Bell in Miami, resulting in a concussion. The incident occurred early Monday after she visited a nightclub with a friend. Police are investigating, but no arrests have been made.
Yulissa Escobar, known from her brief appearance on Season 7 of 'Love Island USA,' recounted a violent encounter at a Taco Bell in Miami. According to her account to TMZ and a police report from the Miami Beach Police Department, the trouble began after she and a friend attended a Sunday night performance at LIV nightclub in Miami Beach. They stopped at the fast-food restaurant in the early hours for a late-night meal.
While waiting for her order, Escobar said a male customer approached and made inappropriate remarks, which she ignored. The woman accompanying the man then became agitated and struck Escobar on her right cheek. The couple fled the scene in a white Mercedes, leaving Escobar injured.
Escobar sought medical attention and was diagnosed with a concussion at the hospital. She is now recovering at home and has decided to take a break from social media. The Miami Beach Police Department confirmed to TMZ that they are actively investigating the assault, though no suspects have been apprehended.
Escobar speculated that the attack might stem from backlash she faced during her time on the reality show. She left 'Love Island USA' before the second episode aired, following the emergence of videos showing her using a derogatory term while discussing personal drama. In response, she issued a public apology on social media, stating that she had used the word out of ignorance.
The former contestant expressed feeling fearful and concerned for her safety in the aftermath of the incident.
