Another "Love Island USA" cast member is under scrutiny as screenshots and a video from her past allegedly showing her using a racial slur are making the rounds on social media.Alannah Keyser, a 21-year-old University of Southern California film school student, made her debut as a Casa Amor bombshell on the June 21 episode of the Peacock show, in which the villa men were sent to the infamous second house to explore relationships with an all-new grew of women. That same evening, a Snapchat video recording in which Alannah purportedly sings along to a song that uses a racist slur emerged on platforms like X and TikTok.Screenshots of her allegedly using the slur in messages also started circulating.The posts followed commentary on social media that speculated about her attitude toward some of the men while she partook in the raunchy "hearts on fire" challenge, also known as the heartrate challenge.After kissing and dancing on Caleb McDaniel, Bryce Dettloff and Zach Georgiou, her level of effort seemingly dropped off for the rest of the male cast. She kissed KC Chandler's neck and said, "That's all you're getting," before repeating the phrase for Corbin Mims following a brief shake of her hips. For Sincere Rhea, the final man on the couch, she said, "You can get a little shake" and jiggled her butt.KC is Black; Corbin has spoken about being Black and Asian; and Sincere was described as "Hispanic" by his partner, Melanie Moreno, earlier in the season.Peacock did not respond to USA TODAY's request for comment.Who is Alannah on 'Love Island'?Alannah, who lives in Los Angeles as a USC student, is originally from Miami.She was one of six women to be thrown into the Season 8 mix.
