The second bombshell to exit the villa was Belle-A, who was infamously caught in a love triangle with Nic Vansteenberghe and Cierra Ortega. She was eliminated in the more traditional sense, as Nic had to choose between her and Cierra to move forward with.

As a "proud Asian American woman," Belle-A said she was "deeply appreciative" that the show made it "clear that racism of any kind is not tolerated"

During the Sunday, July 6, episode of “Love Island USA,” narrator Iain Stirling announced that Cierra Ortega had left the show due to a “personal situation.” Prior to her shocking exit, many fans called for Ortega’s removal after discovering that she used a slur for Chinese people in several social media posts.

Every "Love Island USA" fan knows that each new season of the hit Peacock show brings otherworldly levels of confrontation, romance, and drama. But what we want to know is what goes on behind the scenes to keep the contestants looking so put together all the time.
