why did sierra leave love island

Sierra (Cierra Ortega) left "Love Island USA" Season 7 because she was removed from the villa due to a violation of the show's guidelines related to resurfaced racist comments from her past social media. Specifically, posts containing racial slurs offensive to Asian people had emerged, which led the production to ask her to leave the show. This was described on the show as a "personal situation." Cierra later publicly addressed the incident, expressing remorse and taking accountability for her past behavior, stating she did not have malicious intent and did not fully understand the impact of her words at the time she used them. However, the show's producers and cast were informed she had broken the policies, which resulted in her removal from the villa.
