Cierra Ortega Ousted From Love Island USA After Racist Posts Surface

The Season 7 favorite apologized after leaving the villa, but her departure exposes ongoing gaps in reality-TV background checks.

Cierra Ortega’s stint on Love Island USA ended abruptly during the 7 July episode, when narrator Iain Stirling told viewers the 25-year-old had departed the Peacock dating series “due to a personal situation” just eight days before the live finale. The understated announcement followed mounting outrage over resurfaced Instagram and TikTok posts in which Ortega used a racial slur directed at people of Asian heritage.

Producers offered no further explanation, but Ortega is the second islander this season removed for past offensive content—Yulissa Escobar was dismissed in June for a separate slur—highlighting the franchise’s struggle to vet contestants in an age of permanent online footprints. Casting is handled months in advance, yet viewers have repeatedly unearthed problematic material after episodes air, prompting calls for tougher screening protocols.

Back in Los Angeles, Ortega released a three-minute video on Instagram and TikTok on 9 July acknowledging the slur, agreeing with the show’s decision and stressing, “I am not the victim.” She said a follower first informed her of the term’s history in 2024 and that she has since excised it from her vocabulary.

Her parents had addressed the controversy a day earlier, pleading for compassion and reporting death threats and an ICE call to their home as online backlash intensified. Peacock and NBCUniversal have declined to comment, mirroring their stance after Escobar’s removal.

Former contestant Belle-A Walker, who is Asian American, endorsed Ortega’s exit while urging fans to confront racism “without more hate,” underscoring a wider spike in anti-Asian harassment since 2020. Business Insider notes Season 7 has already surpassed one billion streams, making it one of Peacock’s top originals even as the network faces renewed scrutiny over how it handles racial misconduct.
