India, July 7 -- Cierra Ortega was removed from the Love Island USA Season 7 villa on Sunday. The 25-year-old contestant's exit from the reality show comes days after her racist posts resurfaced on social media. Cierra has been accused of using anti-Asian slurs in posts dating back to 2015 and 2020. In a 2015 Instagram Story, she wrote "Still ch**kin' at the top". The term, a derogatory anti-Asian slur, was again used in a 2020 Instagram post by the Love Island USA Season 7 contestant.

Love Island host Iain Stirling said that Cierra 'left the villa due to a personal reason'. Her season-long partner, Nic Vansteenberghe, is now "officially single".
