Love Island USA drops cast member over racial‑slur videos ahead of Season 8

tvJun 2, 202637371

Peacock removed Vasana Montgomery from Love Island USA's Season 8 cast after resurfaced videos showed her using a racial slur. The network dropped Montgomery days before the show's June 2 premiere and after the season's cast was publicly revealed. Her exit changes the Season 8 lineup and underscores networks enforcing conduct standards for contestants ahead of major premieres.

the way this is actually better press for him than “ew he’s a cop” like this is improving his image 😭😭 #loveislandusa

post from @shabootydotcom on instagram reads
sean = no longer a cop (sus eyes emoji)

A police officer from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, quit his job to appear on Season 8 of Love Island USA. City officials say they're frustrated because the police department spent thousands of taxpayer
dollars training him and is already struggling to fill open positions. Mayor J. William
Reynolds said the officer's departure leaves another vacancy that likely can't be filled until next year. The former officer, Sean Reifel, is now part of the reality show's cast, which premieres June 2. The mayor criticized the decision, saying he never expected reality TV to take precedence over a policing career.
