Booted "Love Island USA" star Alannah Keyser apologized for her past use of the N-word in a TikTok video late Saturday, telling fans that does not "support racism" and "that word is just not in my vocabulary anymore."
"I'm coming on here to address some things that have been circulating online," Keyser said. "I do want to begin by addressing the video of me singing along to a Roddy Ricch song that contains a racial slur. I'm sorry to whoever has seen that video and has been offended by it, that was never my intention. The video is from six years ago, and that word is just not in my vocabulary anymore."
Keyser, a Casa Amor arrival who was paired up with original cast mate Zach Georgiou, was fired from the eighth season of "Love Island USA" on Thursday after the video of her saying the racial slur resurfaced online.

"I do want to say directly that I do not support racism or discrimination of any kind, and I never have," she continued. "When I first found out that these things were going around online, it really broke my heart, and I couldn't do anything about it. But this has definitely been a learning lesson for me, and it sucks that I didn't get a chance to really show my personality and who I am."
