Love Island USA star who was kicked off show over racist slurs says she's had ICE called on her family


Cierra Ortega, 25, claimed in an apology video that her family has had 'ICE called' on them, leading family members to no longer 'feel safe in their own home' after she was kicked off Love Island.

Surprisingly, Ortega said she agreed with the network's decision to remove her from Love Island USA, and she said she should have been punished for the years-old posts, despite her claims that she didn't know the word was offensive and that she had learned her lesson after previously being called out. While she was filming in Fiji, sequestered from social media, multiple racist posts from her Instagram was uncovered by Love Island fans, in which she used a slur offensive to Chinese people on two separate occasions. This season of Love Island USA has been mired in controversy as another cast member sparked backlash for past racial slurs and was booted off of the show and was also fired when fans uncovered an offscreen racism scandal.
