OMG. Did Love Island USA leave in the moment Cierra Ortega was booted from the show?!
The Islander was noticeably absent from Sunday night’s episode after it was explained she “left the villa due to a personal situation” — AKA her racism scandal! Cierra was caught using a hurtful slur directed at Asians in resurfaced Instagram posts, including one from 2020, resulting in fans urging producers to remove her from the show after having already done so with another contestant in a similar situation earlier in the season.
They’ve tried to put a pretty face on this, like she chose to leave. But it seems we have good evidence it wasn’t pretty at all!

Her current connection, Nic Vansteenberghe, was heard discussing her absence in the episode, but she was not shown formally. There was no grand goodbye. Many assumed she was whisked away in the middle of the night — but, um, that may not have been the case! Some fans are now convinced they overheard her kicking and screaming out of the villa!
At one point during the episode, Olandria Carthen is chatting in a solo confessional about her current romantic connections in the house. But if you listen closely, in the background, someone is screaming their head off! A female voice shouts:
“You can’t do that! Are you serious?!”
And it sounds a heck of a lot like Cierra! OMG! Turn the volume up and listen (below):
@yakultlov3rr Replying to @alexistexas001 crazyyyy work #loveislandusa #cierraortega #foru
Someone was pissed!!! Damn!
BTW, fans also spotted Cierra possibly packing her bags in another shot from the episode, suggesting she really was removed during the day rather than secretly at night as some viewers imagined. See the detective work (below):
@2692monkeys I’m dead lmao goodbye #fyp #fypシ #foryou #viral #loveisland #loveislandusa #iris #cierra
With all that said, not everyone is convinced it was Cierra, though. Others think it might’ve been Amaya Espinal, who is known for going hard for those she loves! We wouldn’t be shocked if she was trying to stick up for her fellow cast member. Remember, those in the villa have no idea what’s going on in the real world during filming, so Amaya Papaya may not have known exactly why Cierra was getting the boot. It must’ve been a shocking moment for them all, considering the season is almost over! A few others also guessed it may have been Huda Mustafa, who has also been known to shout at times.
Reacting to the background shouting, fans took to TikTok to say:
“I think it’s Amaya yelling. She rides hard for everyone leaving. Cierra was dressed and they all thought it was a normal day. She was there for the whole morning.”
“Poetic justice that she gets kicked off in the middle of a clip with the only Asian guy on love island”
“That LITERALLY sounds like Cierra how can it be anyone else”
“cierra just mad that she’s leaving & that Huda is staying
”
“ugh Olandria, shush for a minute, we’re trying to hear the crash out”
“Producers are so messy for not making Olandria redo this confessional”
“[Olandria] casually filming while the crash out happens in the next room is insane
”
“LMAOOOO it’s the fact that olandria don’t even gaf!!!! she just talking into the mic and that’s all”
“It’s the way NONE of them seem upset….. Like the girls aren’t crying or look like they’ve cried at all. They’re happy
“
Y’all, producers are messy AF for including this, if this is true! It could’ve been so easily edited out!
So far, Cierra has not reacted to the controversy, but her family has asked for “compassion” on her behalf amid “threats.” Meanwhile, her former co-star Belle-A Walker, an Asian American woman, has declared their friendship over after seeing the hurtful posts.
Reactions?! Who do YOU think was yelling? Tell us (below)!
