‘Love Island’ Dumps Contestant Cierra Ortega After Posts Using Racial Slur Surface


'Love Island' removed bombshell Cierra Ortega from the Season 7 villa after viewers surfaced old social media posts containing a racial slur.

On her official Instagram account, her parents have posted a statement pleading for “compassion, for patience, for basic human decency” from the show’s viewer base, which has grown more intense since expanding due to the success of Season Six. When she was removed, he was left “officially single.” This was bad news for those who were rooting for their couple, but considered a win for viewers who have wanted Vansteenberg to further explore his connection with fellow islander Olandria Carthen. Vansteenberg and Carthen briefly explored their connection after they were both dumped during the Casa Amor section of the show, only to be offered a lifeline to remain in the villa by coupling up.
