The video is from six years ago, and that word is just not in my vocabulary anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She continued, \u201cI do want to say directly that I do not support racism or discrimination of any kind, and I never have. When I first found out that these things were going around online, it really broke my heart, and I couldn\u2019t do anything about it. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut this has definitely been a learning lesson for me, and it sucks that I didn\u2019t get a chance to really show my personality and who I am,\u201d Alannah added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Days before season 8 of Love Island USA premiered, another contestant was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/2026\/06\/03\/vasana-montgomery-breaks-her-silence-after-love-island-usa-removal\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">kicked out of the competition<\/a> for using a racial slur.<\/p>\n<p class=\"categories single-categories\">Posted To:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/tags\/alannah-keyser\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alannah Keyser<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justjared.com\/tags\/love-island-usa\/\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Love Island USA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit: Peacock Alannah Keyser is breaking her silence following her exit from Love Island USA.
