Love Island USA star Nic Vansteenberghe has opened up about fellow participant Cierra Ortega’s shock exit, after posts of her using racial slurs surfaced online while she was in the villa. Nic was coupled up with Cierra and had just “closed off” their coupling before Cierra was forced to leave the villa.

"Love Island USA" star Cierra Ortega is speaking out after her exit from the show earlier this week amid allegations of racism. The reality star faced backlash from "Love Island" fans over resurfaced past posts on a social media account belonging to her that allegedly used a derogatory term against the Asian community.
