Peacock Removes Alannah Keyser From Love Island USA After Racist Video Surfaces, Producers Cite

Alannah Keyser is removed from Love Island USA after a resurfaced video appears to show her using a racial slur, and Peacock confirms her exit from the Casa Amor segment.Producers say the video and related screenshots were not publicly accessible during casting and that Keyser’s screen time was sharply reduced and that recent episodes were edited after the materials circulated.Friends and allies, including Nick Rogers, publicly question the context and authenticity of portions of the material while accepting that the slur is inappropriate for non-Black people to use.The exit follows earlier removals this season, including Vasana Montgomery, and renews scrutiny of Peacock’s social media vetting and the limits of background checks for reality television.
