Cierra Ortega Apologizes After ‘Love Island USA’ Exit, Claims ICE Was Called on Her Family Amid Backlash: ‘I Genuinely Had No Idea That It Was a Slur’


Cierra has apologized after her 'Love Island' exit.

In a lengthy Instagram post on Wednesday, Ortega said she “had the chance to process” all the drama surrounding her “Love Island USA” exit and feels like she can fully address the issue without being “highly emotional.” I had no idea of its meaning, and it wasn’t until I made the public story post in 2024 when a follower of mine reached out to correct me and let me know that what I was saying was incredibly hurtful.” Cierra was one of the original “Love Island” cast members this season, and she was the second to be removed early due to past controversial comment resurfaced online.
