Here's everything to know about Cierra Ortega and why she left Love Island USA amid her scandal. Cierra Ortega was a contestant on season 7 of Love Island USA. She entered the villa on night 2 of the hit Peacock show as a bombshell and quickly hit it off with fellow contestant Nic Vansteenberghe.

On Sunday's episode, narrator Iain Stirling announced that Cierra Ortega had left the Peacock reality series due to a "personal situation," leaving her partner and fellow contestant, Nic Vansteenberghe, single.

Cierra Ortega's parents spoke out following her firing from "Love Island USA." Her departure was announced Sunday after old social media posts surfaced in which she allegedly uses racial slurs.
