The couple reunited after Zach explored a romance with <strong>Alannah Keyser<\/strong> in Casa Amor.<\/p>\n<p>Zach walked back into the villa alone after Alannah was removed from the show after facing backlash for a resurfaced video that allegedly showed her using a racial slur.<\/p>\n<p>The video and other posts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/love-island-usas-alannah-keyser-is-removed-over-racism-scandal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">were not shared publicly until after<\/a> Alannah\u2019s appearance on the show and thus were not accessible during the vetting process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHi everyone, I\u2019m coming on here to address some things that have been circulated online. I do want to begin by addressing the video of me singing along to a Roddy Ricch song that contains a racial slur. I\u2019m sorry to whoever has seen that video and has been offended by it. That was never my intention,\u201d Alannah said in a Saturday, June 27, TikTok. \u201cThe video is from six years ago and that word is just not in my vocabulary anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued, \u201cI\u2019d also like to address the screenshots that have been going around online that have been falsified. What has been shared does not reflect the truth and it has never been in my character to discriminate against anybody\u2019s skin color. I do want to say directly that I do not support racism or discrimination of any kind and I never have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this season, another contestant,<strong> Vasana Montgomery<\/strong>, was cut from the show after resurfaced social media posts showed her using a slur. Similar issues arose during season 7 last year, with <strong>Yulissa Escobar<\/strong> leaving days into the experience after clips of her using racial slurs on a podcast circulated online.<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n\t<br \/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-wide\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/love-island-usa-cierra-ortega-reflects-on-villain-edit-and-exit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Cierra Ortega<\/strong> also faced backlash<\/a> for using a slur in her own resurfaced social media post.
