Love Island USA Season 7 has been marred by controversy since its premiere in June, with two of the show's contestants, Cierra Ortega and Yulissa Escobar, already leaving the series. Newsweek reached out to a spokesperson for Love Island USA via email on Tuesday for comment.

In the season finale, fan-favorites Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales were crowned the winners, with the couple splitting the $100,000 grand prize. Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen were the runners-up, Huda Mustafa and Chris Seeley came in third place while Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia finished in fourth.
