Jeremiah Brown, one of this season’s contestants on Love Island USA, is speaking out after two Islanders were removed from the villa for using racial slurs.

Cierra Ortega was recently let go from the show after old social media posts resurfaced, showing her using offensive language. Not long after, fellow Islander Yulissa Escobar also left the show under similar circumstances.

Jeremiah addressed the situation publicly, calling out the use of racial slurs and emphasizing the importance of accountability, even in a dating competition. “I don’t condone no type of racial slurs,” he said, “That racial stuff is weird to me. I have been dealing with that my whole life. Racial stuff is never cool,” he added.

The back-to-back departures have sparked serious conversations online about racism, cultural sensitivity, and what it means to be held responsible for past behavior, especially in a public setting.

New episodes of Love Island USA air six days a week on Peacock. The season 7 finale is set for July 13.
