‘Furious’ Love Island USA execs ‘hold crisis meeting’ after Cierra’s racial slur resurfaced
But wasn't Yulissa removed straight away?
Love Island USA executives have held a crisis meeting over the resurfaced photo of Cierra using a racial slur. She already lost over 70K followers in the space of 24 hours, and people are noticing she only got five minutes of air time on the recent episode.

As people demand for Cierra to be removed from Love Island USA after using a racial slur in a photo before entering the villa, producers of the show had to sit down and discuss whether to remove the contestant, or keep her in there with Nic.
Apparently, the TV crew are “furious” about the racist post that they believe to be “unacceptable”. A production source told The U.S. Sun, “Cierra is in deep trouble, that is for sure. This kind of word is unacceptable. It was a huge disappointment when we saw it.”
“Everyone is very, very bothered and p*ssed about that. We will hold a meeting to decide what we should do… but it doesn’t look great at all for Cierra as a lot of us want to take her out of the show as soon as possible,” added the source.
They continued: “We kicked Yulissa out of the show at the beginning of the season because of racial slurs too. This kind of behaviour and use of this kind of word is unacceptable, and we condemn all kinds of racism, discrimination and insults towards anyone.”
“You can’t use words like this, you can’t use racial slurs and we can’t accept that, that is so bad. Everyone is furious that this post exists, that she used that word. How is it possible to post something like this and not expect any consequences?” they added.
They ended with: “We ask everyone to be respectful and not use certain words, but we can’t control what they did in the past.” A second production source added, “A lot of people are in favour of her being taken out of the show, in my opinion that is what should happen.”
