Love Island USA contestant Belle-A Walker has issued a statement following Cierra Ortega’s removal from the villa. Cierra was pulled from the show after several posts resurfaced of her using a racial slur against the Asian community.

Belle-A is the only contestant to release such a strong statement condemning Cierra’s actions, but she isn’t the only one who has spoken out. When asked about Cierra’s exit during a TikTok live, Jeremiah Brown said he didn’t “condone no type of racial slurs.” Cierra has yet to address the situation publicly.

Love Island USA's Belle-A Walker released a lengthy statement condemning season seven costar Cierra Ortega's alleged racist social media posts amid her sudden exit from the series.
