Alannah Keyser has apologised after a resurfaced video sparked backlash over racist posts and led to her exit from Love Island USA. 'I do want to begin by addressing the video of me singing along to a Roddy Ricch song that contains a racial slur,' she said in a statement posted to TikTok. 'I'm sorry to whoever has seen that video and has been offended by it, that was never my intention.'
Keyser's apology came after the clip had already circulated widely online. The footage, which showed her repeating lyrics containing the n-word, turned from an old social media post into a fresh public controversy before she responded.
