RSS Feed Casa Amor bombshell Alannah Keyser issued an on-camera apology after being kicked out of the villa for a newly resurfaced video showing her singing the N word. Her apology is actually a lesson in how not to apologize. Keyser used the old “it was never my intention” and “if you were offended” lines coupled with a vague denial of screen shots showing her using the n-word. Her video left us with more questions than answers, and did not explain her actions in the villa on day one, when she skipped over kissing all the black men at Casa Amor.

Speaker 1: Hey, the folks, it is Monday, June twenty ninth, and if you want a lesson in how to not issue a public apology, look no further than Alana Kaiser, the recently booted Love Islander, And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Rober. I don't want to be too hard on this young lady. She's young, and she hasn't been doing this. Maybe it's in terms of public scrutiny and apologies as much as we have, but this one didn't win her any fans.
00:00:35
Speaker 2: No, because look, we all know Alana Kaiser. I think at this point, if you're listening to this, you know she came on as a bombshell at Casa Amore. And just as she was coming on, so did an old video. It resurfaced, showed up online and you see an even younger Alana Kaiser singing along to a song and she sings the N word.
00:00:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, first time we've seen something like this, including on this show.
00:01:03
Speaker 2: Yes, she is one of many now the second this season, and there were two others last season, so.
00:01:10
Speaker 3: We're at four now.
00:01:11
Speaker 2: I believe, at least in the last two seasons where there has been some sort of racial slur said on a video posted that resurfaces once folks find out who is on the show.
00:01:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, but right now it's three in words and one Asian slur.
00:01:29
Speaker 3: Right where we are is leading the past.
00:01:32
Speaker 1: We are. We're up three to one right now. Nobody's gonna catch us on this one. Probably videos keep coming, but yes, that catches it up. We've been waiting to hear from this young lady because we know these folks do not get their phones. She has no idea that the whole world was talking about her while she was in there. She finally gets booted, she's out, she's off. She issues Robes a and we're gonna let you hear the whole thing. She put out. It's a one minute video. Yeah, Robes, there's some you're editing. What's the cutting of the getting.
00:02:02
Speaker 2: So, first of all, before you actually listen to it, and we'll play it and dissect it a bit, but if you actually watch it. She put it on TikTok, and it is heavily edited where it's almost as if she has all of these prepared statements she wants to read. But maybe she didn't have it memorized, or maybe she was reading it off to the right. It kind of almost looked like she was reading something to me, because you want to know why, I think she was reading something, because she comes off extremely robotic, and sometimes when you're not used to reading a teleprompter or reading a script, you come off robotic. It didn't feel authentic. It didn't feel like it was coming from her. It felt like it was prepared and so in order. I think this is ohso ironic to have it be exactly the way she wanted it to be, to be presented in the words she chose. She actually just did it in little bursts and then edited them together. But it actually looks it makes it look so inauthentic and so stiff and so prepared and so edited that it actually does her a disservice. Just forget what she said or the words she chose. Just in general, the feeling of the video is not one where you are She's not bringing you along with her, she's not explaining who she is. She's just robotically doing what she's told she has to do to survive this.
00:03:23
Speaker 1: Okay, and that's probably a okay, I'm not gonna who am I to say when apologies should and shouldn't be issued, and how I've screwed mine up by not putting one out, but the one she decides to put out Robes. This could have been done on paper, like she could have just issued a statement. Reading it, it does take away from something she was trying to say. But Robes, she did what she was supposed to, and maybe she does think every neat little word needs to be said the exact same or the exact right way. The problem is there, Robes, I could have forgiven a little if she made a couple of flubs as she was going through it. These were seemed like very much thought out mistakes in here Rope. She said the wrong things in some places. I don't know how else to say that.
00:04:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, and because they were so prepared and deliberate. It's concerning because as you were saying, and she was just talking off the cuff and maybe flubbed up or said something maybe in a way she didn't mean to, you would almost be like, I get it. She was just speaking from the heart and it came out that way. This seemed very manicured and curated. And look, I think part of what people love about TikTok is that it's not curated. Yes, they do editing and it's fun, little dance moves, all of that, and she's got that all over her TikTok. I did happen to check it out. But a lot of people go to TikTok to get that authentic first person video thing where you're just laying in your bed and saying what you think or just shooting shooting from the hip, and that authenticity is what brings people to TikTok and makes a lot of folks TikTok stars because they're just unvarnished. She didn't do that in this video, and what she chose to say was concerning.
00:05:04
Speaker 1: All right, let's let you listen now to what she chose to say. We're going to start and stop at ropes. It's only a minute long. I'm not sure exactly how I'll handle this, but here she is Alana Kaiser about a one minute video she put on TikTok.
00:05:18
Speaker 4: Take listen, Hi, everyone, I'm coming on here to address some things that have been circulating online. I do want to begin by addressing the video of me singing along to a Roddy Rich song that contains a racial slur. I'm sorry to whoever seen that video and has been offended by it.
00:05:37
Speaker 2: There's no emotion in her voice whatsoever. And it's look, she might just be nervous, she might be angry.
00:05:44
Speaker 3: Yeah, she seemed like she was a little annoyed that she had to make this video.
00:05:47
Speaker 1: Ropes. There was nothing coming from her emotion. There was no emotion, and some would tell you that's how it's supposed to be, how it should be. She did a good job. Fine, My issue there is ropes. It happens every single time. I am sorry if you were offended. I'm sorry to whoever might be offended. We hear this so many times, and apologies when you do that. You're not apologizing for what you did. You're just sorry somebody got pissed about it. That language robes immediately when I hear that, m It's like, you know you could do this in your own relationships. Well, I'm sorry you got upset about what I know.
00:06:24
Speaker 3: I'm sorry if I upset you. I'm sorry if that upset you.
00:06:27
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry for what I did. So that's one oh one with apologies. Robe. Let's keep listening.
00:06:33
Speaker 4: That was never my intention. The video is from six years ago, and that word is just not in my vocabulary anymore.
00:06:40
Speaker 3: Huh anymore? Huh anymore? But it was before?
00:06:44
Speaker 1: Huh.
00:06:45
Speaker 2: I mean, look, it's one thing to sing along with, and it's obviously not okay to.
00:06:50
Speaker 3: A great point long with a song landed.
00:06:53
Speaker 2: But if she says that's not in her vocabulary anymore, it means that it was in her vocabulary at one point.
00:07:00
Speaker 1: Robes, no one ever accused her. We weren't accusing her. We were accusing her of not being mindful of what she was singing and then posting it. She has come out and told us, now.
00:07:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, I used to say the N word.
00:07:11
Speaker 1: What And this was the curated written yes.
00:07:15
Speaker 4: Look.
00:07:16
Speaker 2: She could have said, look, I slipped up when I was singing. I should never have repeated that word. I'm so embarrassed that I did. I would never do that now. But she said something different, Robes, that word is not in my vocabulary anymore.
00:07:32
Speaker 1: So I guess she doesn't listen to rap anymore. See that's just me being sarcastic. This is me, Robes. When we first saw this story, we gave her grace. We gave her grace for being young, for doing something stupid. She shouldn't end her life, all these things, Robes, we gave her grace. I'm backing off on the grace now that I've seen this apology, and that's weird. That's poor girl. Like I'm saying that this poor girl who screwed up and screwed up bad is now getting some bad advice or no advice at all. This is a tough one, babe, This is a tough she continues.
00:08:06
Speaker 4: I'd 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.
00:08:14
Speaker 3: Huh okay.
00:08:15
Speaker 2: That also is very vague and confusing to follow. And look, if she said I never wrote that those were not my comments. Someone did that using ai yep, I don't type those words.
00:08:29
Speaker 3: I don't communicate using that word. That was not me.
00:08:32
Speaker 2: I would get that. No, that's not what she said. She said that it was all passive. It had been.
00:08:40
Speaker 1: Falsified, misrepresented. She never said, Robes that she didn't that. That was an easy one. Now, this was the one. She could have just lied to me, and I would have bought the lie, because we do know things can be manipulated, and the screenshots that were used, it didn't show an extensive conversation or something. It was just like her name and something she said that was at least two of them, and maybe even three that were out there in which she flat out said the N word ropes her. This young lady, she's things we didn't even accuse her of. She is now making herself look a little more suspicious. That word is not in my back vocabulary anymore. And this thing, it's misrepresenting my words. It doesn't really falsifying.
00:09:25
Speaker 2: Maybe it was so vague and this girl, I don't really know what she's saying. What's been manipulated? Was it taken out of context? Was it actually a completely made up post that she never commented on, Like, I don't know what she's even saying.
00:09:46
Speaker 1: Is it possible she forgot she said it? Is it possible it was such a frequent part of her vocabulary that is not a big deal.
00:09:54
Speaker 3: Yes, I don't know. I mean, that's the thing.
00:09:56
Speaker 2: And the thing is, if she wanted us to know, if she wanted to clear it up, if she had a real defense that she did not.
00:10:03
Speaker 3: Type that word in a comment, then she could just have said that.
00:10:07
Speaker 2: So I just feel like by her ambiguity that there is some The truth is in there somewhere, I just don't know where it is.
00:10:15
Speaker 1: All right, what else you got for as Alana?
00:10:17
Speaker 4: And it's never been in my character to discriminate against anybody's skin color. I do want to say directly that I do not support racism or discrimination of any kind.
00:10:27
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't think anyone supports racism. So that was an interesting choice.
00:10:32
Speaker 1: She might make me nervous. I don't know what's happening she read this.
00:10:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't support racism.
00:10:38
Speaker 1: That's a weird thing, you know what. That might be a young thing, maybe, Well, if she didn't get help, she's twenty one. She did not get help. That sounds like anyone with any experience of any kind in life, and certainly in public life, would not let her get in front of a camera and say that. If she would have let somebody read see it after she taped it, they would say, hey, get a couple of problems here. Well, either one of us, dear lady, don't say this.
00:11:03
Speaker 2: I'm surprised she didn't have any help from a crisis manager, because look, they're out there, we know, And it seems as though the other folks who have had this similar issue. Have done really well, have done a really good job at apologizing owning it.
00:11:17
Speaker 3: It's never acceptable. I own what I did.
00:11:20
Speaker 2: I apologize for what I did and for hurting people with my insensitive racist language, like people the other That is my recollection that Look, you can't ever unsay something, but you can make amends. And I feel like the other contestants did a significantly better job.
00:11:37
Speaker 1: And maybe she's flapping in the wind out there on her own and can't find a friend, maybe people aren't calling and rushing to help her out of this situation. But what a weird line. I do not support racism of any kind. That's one thing. You just don't have to say that it's in a sumpthing I don't support. It's a weird way to write that sentence. Baby, it just seems really young.
00:11:58
Speaker 2: I would say, call me crazy, but I would even argue that a lot of racists don't think they're racist, and they would say they don't support racism.
00:12:09
Speaker 3: So, like you know what I'm saying.
00:12:11
Speaker 2: It's one of those strange things where I don't know of anyone who supports racism vocally and I but they don't think they are, and they certainly don't support it, but they are so I.
00:12:26
Speaker 3: Just this whole apology was deeply confusing to me.
00:12:30
Speaker 1: I let her wrap it up for us here, and.
00:12:32
Speaker 4: I never have 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.
00:12:49
Speaker 3: Hi everyone, she starts over again.
00:12:53
Speaker 1: I have spoken about her situation with more heart and passion than she just did.
00:12:57
Speaker 3: Yes, it was robot. That was the other thing.
00:13:01
Speaker 2: Just in its entirety, it did not feel genuine, It did not feel heartfelt.
00:13:08
Speaker 3: It wasn't let's be honest, it wasn't.
00:13:10
Speaker 1: I guess I want to leave space robes that. Maybe it just she wasn't a good performer. Maybe her heart is in the right place, Maybe she has learned something. Maybe she doesn't have to do anything else in the public view except go back to college and this will all go away. So maybe she's not thinking about a long term career. Why I need to change my public standing up. Maybe she's not thinking that bro she said what she needed to say, she thinks, but I just ah, she needed some advice, she needed some help. It really does feel like this young lady needs some guidance of some kind. And I don't know. I just hate to dismiss or throw someone away like that because of a mistake she made. But when you start compounding this didn't help.
00:13:51
Speaker 3: It didn't.
00:13:51
Speaker 2: And when we come back, let's talk about what she didn't talk about. I wanted to hear her address the very public display of.
00:14:02
Speaker 3: Rejecting men of color and.
00:14:13
Speaker 2: Welcome back everyone to this episode of Amy and TJ were going into one of the many scandals unfortunately for the Love Island franchise, but this latest one, twenty one year old Alana Kaiser.
00:14:25
Speaker 3: She was kicked out.
00:14:27
Speaker 2: She now has issued an apology video, which hasn't really cleared much up and if anything, has caused some more confusion and I have some more questions. But look, she robotically somewhat apologized. Let everyone know she doesn't support racism and the N word is no longer in her vocabulary. But she didn't address and you know, she has probably read a lot of what is being said online. And one of the biggest complaints fans had was not just obviously about the surface video or even these screenshots that were purportedly from her, but her actions on the show when she was introduced.
00:15:09
Speaker 1: And wasn't this a matter we saw this before we saw the videos, correct, before we had any inkling about anything having to do with the N word or her being accused of being a racist of any kind rope. She comes out and we watch her plainly, clearly go through kiss the first what two three guys? She made a point and skipped over the brothers. She didn't kiss Corbyn, she didn't kiss case she didn't kiss Sincere, and she almost was stopped by them and was dismissive and kept moving.
00:15:38
Speaker 2: Yet she didn't even get close to Sincere. I don't even think she touched him. And she was making out like crazy with Bryce, with Zach and with who am I forgetting Caleb? So folks noticed this robe before this video resurface.
00:15:57
Speaker 1: Because it wasn't just a matter if she kissed those three and didn't kiss those three she made points like she seemed really stand off fish and rejected those Maybe she's not in the black guys.
00:16:06
Speaker 2: I was trying to give her space in that one because Casey did inappropriately slap her butt, and so I could see she got annoyed, and she said, that's all you're getting, But then why are you going to Maybe she was so rattled or so annoyed that she just skipped over the last two because she didn't want to put herself in that position. But regardless, the optics were terrible, and I do think if that was the case, she should have said and I also want to address my behavior on the show and just explain maybe what was going on in her head. I know that it looked one way, but I want you to know what was really happening. She said she was disappointed that she didn't get to show her personality. We saw her personality, and what we saw people had some questions, and she didn't address that. I think that was a choice. She has to know that that's a huge part of what people are saying about her seeming racist behavior.
00:16:55
Speaker 1: I just wonder if people if she thinks or this was enough. But okay, I did it, this worked out. She's seeing the blowback now, babe.
00:17:03
Speaker 3: I mean it looked like she was It looked like a hostage video.
00:17:05
Speaker 1: It did she was, Yeah, it was emotionless, completely devoid of any you know what, you don't need emotion, you don't need anger, you don't have to. You just have to show somebody your care. And the way you do that Robes is not robotically reading a statement.
00:17:17
Speaker 3: Like she did that's heavily edited.
00:17:19
Speaker 1: I hope she's okay, man, I hope she's gonna be okay. I hope she does learn a lesson. I hope we can all learn a lesson from this. I just this didn't help.
00:17:25
Speaker 2: You.
00:17:25
Speaker 1: Think we'll hear from her again.
00:17:29
Speaker 3: I hope not for a while.
00:17:30
Speaker 2: And look, I really do think this might be a case study in how not to apologize.
00:17:34
Speaker 3: Just it's worth that much.
00:17:37
Speaker 2: Anyone in any relationship who has to say they're sorry, don't be like a lota. And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you listening to us. I made robot alongside DJ Holmes.
00:17:47
Speaker 3: We'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 1: Hey, the folks, it is Monday, June twenty ninth, and if you want a lesson in how to not issue a public apology, look no further than Alana Kaiser, the recently booted Love Islander, And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Rober. I don't want to be too hard on this young lady. She's young, and she hasn't been doing this. Maybe it's in terms of public scrutiny and apologies as much as we have, but this one didn't win her any fans.
00:00:35
Speaker 2: No, because look, we all know Alana Kaiser. I think at this point, if you're listening to this, you know she came on as a bombshell at Casa Amore. And just as she was coming on, so did an old video. It resurfaced, showed up online and you see an even younger Alana Kaiser singing along to a song and she sings the N word.
00:00:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, first time we've seen something like this, including on this show.
00:01:03
Speaker 2: Yes, she is one of many now the second this season, and there were two others last season, so.
00:01:10
Speaker 3: We're at four now.
00:01:11
Speaker 2: I believe, at least in the last two seasons where there has been some sort of racial slur said on a video posted that resurfaces once folks find out who is on the show.
00:01:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, but right now it's three in words and one Asian slur.
00:01:29
Speaker 3: Right where we are is leading the past.
00:01:32
Speaker 1: We are. We're up three to one right now. Nobody's gonna catch us on this one. Probably videos keep coming, but yes, that catches it up. We've been waiting to hear from this young lady because we know these folks do not get their phones. She has no idea that the whole world was talking about her while she was in there. She finally gets booted, she's out, she's off. She issues Robes a and we're gonna let you hear the whole thing. She put out. It's a one minute video. Yeah, Robes, there's some you're editing. What's the cutting of the getting.
00:02:02

She's just robotically doing what she's told she has to do to survive this.
00:03:23
Speaker 1: Okay, and that's probably a okay, I'm not gonna who am I to say when apologies should and shouldn't be issued, and how I've screwed mine up by not putting one out, but the one she decides to put out Robes. This could have been done on paper, like she could have just issued a statement. Reading it, it does take away from something she was trying to say.

00:06:24
Speaker 3: I'm sorry if I upset you. I'm sorry if that upset you.
00:06:27
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry for what I did. So that's one oh one with apologies. Robe. Let's keep listening.
00:06:33
Speaker 4: That was never my intention. The video is from six years ago, and that word is just not in my vocabulary anymore.
00:06:40
Speaker 3: Huh anymore? Huh anymore? But it was before?
00:06:44
Speaker 1: Huh.
00:06:45
Speaker 2: I mean, look, it's one thing to sing along with, and it's obviously not okay to.
00:06:50
Speaker 3: A great point long with a song landed.
00:06:53
Speaker 2: But if she says that's not in her vocabulary anymore, it means that it was in her vocabulary at one point.
00:07:00
Speaker 1: Robes, no one ever accused her. We weren't accusing her. We were accusing her of not being mindful of what she was singing and then posting it. She has come out and told us, now.
00:07:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, I used to say the N word.
00:07:11
Speaker 1: What And this was the curated written yes.
00:07:15
Speaker 4: Look.
00:07:16
Speaker 2: She could have said, look, I slipped up when I was singing. I should never have repeated that word. I'm so embarrassed that I did. I would never do that now. But she said something different, Robes, that word is not in my vocabulary anymore.
00:07:32
Speaker 1: So I guess she doesn't listen to rap anymore. See that's just me being sarcastic. This is me, Robes. When we first saw this story, we gave her grace. We gave her grace for being young, for doing something stupid. She shouldn't end her life, all these things, Robes, we gave her grace. I'm backing off on the grace now that I've seen this apology, and that's weird. That's poor girl. Like I'm saying that this poor girl who screwed up and screwed up bad is now getting some bad advice or no advice at all. This is a tough one, babe, This is a tough she continues.
00:08:06
Speaker 4: I'd 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.
00:08:14
Speaker 3: Huh okay.
00:08:15
Speaker 2: That also is very vague and confusing to follow. And look, if she said I never wrote that those were not my comments. Someone did that using ai yep, I don't type those words.
00:08:29
Speaker 3: I don't communicate using that word. That was not me.
00:08:32
Speaker 2: I would get that. No, that's not what she said. She said that it was all passive. It had been.
00:08:40
Speaker 1: Falsified, misrepresented. She never said, Robes that she didn't that. That was an easy one. Now, this was the one. She could have just lied to me, and I would have bought the lie, because we do know things can be manipulated, and the screenshots that were used, it didn't show an extensive conversation or something. It was just like her name and something she said that was at least two of them, and maybe even three that were out there in which she flat out said the N word ropes her. This young lady, she's things we didn't even accuse her of. She is now making herself look a little more suspicious. That word is not in my back vocabulary anymore. And this thing, it's misrepresenting my words. It doesn't really falsifying.
00:09:25
Speaker 2: Maybe it was so vague and this girl, I don't really know what she's saying. What's been manipulated? Was it taken out of context? Was it actually a completely made up post that she never commented on, Like, I don't know what she's even saying.
00:09:46
Speaker 1: Is it possible she forgot she said it? Is it possible it was such a frequent part of her vocabulary that is not a big deal.
00:09:54
Speaker 3: Yes, I don't know. I mean, that's the thing.
00:09:56
Speaker 2: And the thing is, if she wanted us to know, if she wanted to clear it up, if she had a real defense that she did not.
00:10:03
Speaker 3: Type that word in a comment, then she could just have said that.
00:10:07
Speaker 2: So I just feel like by her ambiguity that there is some The truth is in there somewhere, I just don't know where it is.
00:10:15
Speaker 1: All right, what else you got for as Alana?
00:10:17
Speaker 4: And it's never been in my character to discriminate against anybody's skin color. I do want to say directly that I do not support racism or discrimination of any kind.
00:10:27
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't think anyone supports racism. So that was an interesting choice.
00:10:32
Speaker 1: She might make me nervous. I don't know what's happening she read this.
00:10:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't support racism.
00:10:38
Speaker 1: That's a weird thing, you know what. That might be a young thing, maybe, Well, if she didn't get help, she's twenty one. She did not get help. That sounds like anyone with any experience of any kind in life, and certainly in public life, would not let her get in front of a camera and say that. If she would have let somebody read see it after she taped it, they would say, hey, get a couple of problems here. Well, either one of us, dear lady, don't say this.
00:11:03
Speaker 2: I'm surprised she didn't have any help from a crisis manager, because look, they're out there, we know, And it seems as though the other folks who have had this similar issue. Have done really well, have done a really good job at apologizing owning it.
00:11:17
Speaker 3: It's never acceptable. I own what I did.
00:11:20
Speaker 2: I apologize for what I did and for hurting people with my insensitive racist language, like people the other That is my recollection that Look, you can't ever unsay something, but you can make amends. And I feel like the other contestants did a significantly better job.
00:11:37
Speaker 1: And maybe she's flapping in the wind out there on her own and can't find a friend, maybe people aren't calling and rushing to help her out of this situation. But what a weird line. I do not support racism of any kind. That's one thing. You just don't have to say that it's in a sumpthing I don't support. It's a weird way to write that sentence. Baby, it just seems really young.
00:11:58
Speaker 2: I would say, call me crazy, but I would even argue that a lot of racists don't think they're racist, and they would say they don't support racism.
00:12:09
Speaker 3: So, like you know what I'm saying.
00:12:11
Speaker 2: It's one of those strange things where I don't know of anyone who supports racism vocally and I but they don't think they are, and they certainly don't support it, but they are so I.
00:12:26
Speaker 3: Just this whole apology was deeply confusing to me.
00:12:30
Speaker 1: I let her wrap it up for us here, and.
00:12:32
Speaker 4: I never have 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.
00:12:49
Speaker 3: Hi everyone, she starts over again.
00:12:53
Speaker 1: I have spoken about her situation with more heart and passion than she just did.
00:12:57
Speaker 3: Yes, it was robot. That was the other thing.
00:13:01
Speaker 2: Just in its entirety, it did not feel genuine, It did not feel heartfelt.
00:13:08
Speaker 3: It wasn't let's be honest, it wasn't.
00:13:10
Speaker 1: I guess I want to leave space robes that. Maybe it just she wasn't a good performer. Maybe her heart is in the right place, Maybe she has learned something. Maybe she doesn't have to do anything else in the public view except go back to college and this will all go away. So maybe she's not thinking about a long term career. Why I need to change my public standing up. Maybe she's not thinking that bro she said what she needed to say, she thinks, but I just ah, she needed some advice, she needed some help. It really does feel like this young lady needs some guidance of some kind. And I don't know. I just hate to dismiss or throw someone away like that because of a mistake she made. But when you start compounding this didn't help.
00:13:51
Speaker 3: It didn't.
00:13:51
Speaker 2: And when we come back, let's talk about what she didn't talk about. I wanted to hear her address the very public display of.
00:14:02
Speaker 3: Rejecting men of color and.
00:14:13
Speaker 2: Welcome back everyone to this episode of Amy and TJ were going into one of the many scandals unfortunately for the Love Island franchise, but this latest one, twenty one year old Alana Kaiser.
00:14:25
Speaker 3: She was kicked out.
00:14:27
Speaker 2: She now has issued an apology video, which hasn't really cleared much up and if anything, has caused some more confusion and I have some more questions. But look, she robotically somewhat apologized. Let everyone know she doesn't support racism and the N word is no longer in her vocabulary. But she didn't address and you know, she has probably read a lot of what is being said online. And one of the biggest complaints fans had was not just obviously about the surface video or even these screenshots that were purportedly from her, but her actions on the show when she was introduced.
00:15:09
Speaker 1: And wasn't this a matter we saw this before we saw the videos, correct, before we had any inkling about anything having to do with the N word or her being accused of being a racist of any kind rope. She comes out and we watch her plainly, clearly go through kiss the first what two three guys? She made a point and skipped over the brothers. She didn't kiss Corbyn, she didn't kiss case she didn't kiss Sincere, and she almost was stopped by them and was dismissive and kept moving.
00:15:38
Speaker 2: Yet she didn't even get close to Sincere. I don't even think she touched him. And she was making out like crazy with Bryce, with Zach and with who am I forgetting Caleb? So folks noticed this robe before this video resurface.
00:15:57
Speaker 1: Because it wasn't just a matter if she kissed those three and didn't kiss those three she made points like she seemed really stand off fish and rejected those Maybe she's not in the black guys.
00:16:06
Speaker 2: I was trying to give her space in that one because Casey did inappropriately slap her butt, and so I could see she got annoyed, and she said, that's all you're getting, But then why are you going to Maybe she was so rattled or so annoyed that she just skipped over the last two because she didn't want to put herself in that position. But regardless, the optics were terrible, and I do think if that was the case, she should have said and I also want to address my behavior on the show and just explain maybe what was going on in her head. I know that it looked one way, but I want you to know what was really happening. She said she was disappointed that she didn't get to show her personality. We saw her personality, and what we saw people had some questions, and she didn't address that. I think that was a choice. She has to know that that's a huge part of what people are saying about her seeming racist behavior.
00:16:55
Speaker 1: I just wonder if people if she thinks or this was enough. But okay, I did it, this worked out. She's seeing the blowback now, babe.
00:17:03
Speaker 3: I mean it looked like she was It looked like a hostage video.
00:17:05
Speaker 1: It did she was, Yeah, it was emotionless, completely devoid of any you know what, you don't need emotion, you don't need anger, you don't have to. You just have to show somebody your care. And the way you do that Robes is not robotically reading a statement.
00:17:17
Speaker 3: Like she did that's heavily edited.
00:17:19
Speaker 1: I hope she's okay, man, I hope she's gonna be okay. I hope she does learn a lesson. I hope we can all learn a lesson from this. I just this didn't help.
00:17:25
Speaker 2: You.
00:17:25
Speaker 1: Think we'll hear from her again.
00:17:29
Speaker 3: I hope not for a while.
00:17:30
Speaker 2: And look, I really do think this might be a case study in how not to apologize.
00:17:34
Speaker 3: Just it's worth that much.
00:17:37
Speaker 2: Anyone in any relationship who has to say they're sorry, don't be like a lota. And with that, everyone, we always appreciate you listening to us. I made robot alongside DJ Holmes.
00:17:47
Speaker 3: We'll talk to you soon.
