Cierra Leaves Love Island USA After Racist IG Post Surfaces

One day, it may become common for reality TV stars to carefully scrutinize themselves before applying for shows. However, it seems we’re not quite there yet. In the case of Cierra Ortega from “Love Island USA,” she has departed the villa following a personal matter. During Sunday’s episode, announcer Iain Stirling mentioned that she had left due to a private issue. The issue at hand was Ortega’s use of a racial slur in an old Instagram story, which came to light on July 1. Fans demanded her dismissal, and host Ariana Madix indicated on social media that the matter would be addressed.

In this season of Love Island USA, two contestants have been asked to leave due to offensive content on their social media. Yulissa Escobar was removed on the second day following a podcast where she used derogatory language. She later apologized, acknowledging her personal growth and expressing remorse for her past actions. Austin Shepard, on the other hand, faced criticism for his apparent support of certain political figures. He denies being racist but has been met with skepticism, as he cited having a tattoo of a Black woman as evidence against accusations of racism. His defense, “But I have Black tattoos!”, has sparked debate among viewers.
