‘Love Island USA’s Cierra Ortega’s Parents Call For “Compassion” Amid Backlash & Peacock Series Exit: “No One Deserves That Kind Of Hate”


Cierra Ortega's parents have seen the messages directed at the Love Island USA Islander and are calling for "compassion" amid the backlash and her exit from the villa.

An old social media post Cierra made resurfaced, where she references her eyes, and uses a racial slur that has been used to denigrate the Asian community. Before the backlash, Cierra was close to hitting 1M on Instagram, but when Love Island USA fans learned of her using the racial slur, her follower count began to drop, which stands at 683k now. And when she returns, we believe she’ll face this with honesty, growth, and grace,” the parents added.
