Cierra Ortega became the second female Love Island USA season 7 contestant to get abruptly removed from the Villa. The reality TV star and social media influencer suddenly vanished from the show once narrator Iain Stirling made an announcement several minutes into episode 30.
“Welcome back to Love Island USA. Cierra has left the villa due to a personal situation, leaving Nic [Vansteenberghe] officially single,” Iain said during season 7, episode 30. So, what happened to Cierra?

Cierra is a 25-year-old social media content creator from Los Angeles.
It looks like Cierra didn’t leave the show on her own accord. Fans called for Cierra’s removal from the show because she was seen using an anti-Asian racial slur in a past social media post.
It’s unlikely that Cierra will return to the show since she was apparently removed by the show itself.
It’s unclear how Cierra will deal with the aftermath of her departure. At the time of publication, she has yet to address her exit from Love Island USA.
