‘Love Island’s’ Cierra Ortega BREAKS SILENCE After Shocking Exit

 Love Island USA’ star Cierra Ortega has broken her silence following her shocking exit from the reality show. During the July 6 episode, it was announced that the 25-year-old would be departing due to a “personal” situation. Her exit came after past social media posts resurfaced where she used a racial slur, specifically a term that would be offensive to the Asian community. On July 9, Cierra addressed the situation in a nearly 5-minute Instagram video where also she apologized for using the word and took accountability. “I want to first start by addressing, not just anyone that I have hurt or deeply offended, but most importantly, the entire Asian community. I am deeply, truly, honestly, so sorry. I had no idea that the word held as much pain as much harm, and came with the history that it did, or I never would have used it. I had no ill intention when I was using it. But that's absolutely no excuse, because intent doesn't excuse ignorance,” she began, adding, “This is not an apology video – this is an accountability video.”
