Wasana Montgomery has been eliminated from season 8 of the reality show Love Island USA just days after being cast as a contestant, amid accusations that she shared videos online in which she used racist language, TMZ reports. .
According to sources cited by TMZ, Vasana will not appear on the Peacock reality show after two videos surfaced. One video shows Montgomery using a racial slur while rapping along to a song. Another video shows her uttering the slur while playing a slot machine with a friend.
According to TMZ sources, the videos were private, meaning no one but the show's participants accessed them before they became public, allowing the contestants to pass the audition.
Representatives of the show Love Island USA and the TV channel declined to comment on the incident.
This latest scandal is eerily reminiscent of a similar incident last season, when Yulisa Escobar was eliminated from Season 7 of Love Island USA after audio recordings of her podcast in which she used racist language were leaked.
Consecutive scandals have drawn further attention to the pre-selection process used by the producers of the highly anticipated dating competition.
