Love Island USA removes Vasana Montgomery over slur videos

May 30, 2026

Peacock's Love Island USA has dismissed 25-year-old cast member Vasana Montgomery from Season 8 after videos surfaced of her using the n-word. The decision comes just two days after the network announced its cast for the season, which premieres June 2.

The reality dating series has now removed an islander for the same reason for the second consecutive year. Last season, Yulissa Escobar was removed during the second episode following similar videos, while Cierra Ortega later exited after using a racist term for Asian people.
