\u201cLove Island\u201d contestant Vasana Montgomery is breaking her silence on being removed from the Season 8 cast<\/a> after videos resurfaced of her using a racial slur.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to address a couple videos from my teen years that have recently resurfaced,\u201d Montgomery began in a statement posted to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, the day after the new season kicked off on Peacock.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn those videos, I used a racial slur. There is no excuse for it, and I am deeply sorry,\u201d she continued. \u201cI am embarrassed and disappointed by my words. I take full responsibility for what I said and understand why it has hurt and upset people.\u201d<\/p>\n
