Nick Rogers publicly defends Alannah Keyser as Peacock confirms her removal from “Love Island USA” and says recent episodes were edited after clips with a racial slur circulated online.Keyser apologizes on TikTok for a six-year-old video in which she lip-synced Roddy Ricch’s 2019 song “The Box,” insists the slur is no longer part of her vocabulary, and disputes the authenticity of some screenshots.Producers say the resurfaced posts were not publicly available during casting, that Keyser’s screen time was sharply reduced, and that
Peacock removed her from the Casa Amor segment while accelerating internal vetting reviews.
