Cierra Ortega apologizes for using a racial slur, leading to her exit from "Love Island USA."

Former "Love Island USA" contestant Cierra Ortega apologized for using a racial slur against Asian people in old posts. She left the show a week before the finale after the posts resurfaced. In her nearly five-minute TikTok video, Ortega expressed deep regret and acknowledged the harm caused by her words. This follows a similar incident with contestant Yulissa Escobar, who also left the show due to past racist language. Both departures highlight the impact of words and the need for better understanding.
