Love Island USA’s Cierra Allegedly Losing Followers After Resurfaced Post Sparks Backlash

Cierra, a current contestant on Love Island USA Season 7, is under fire after a resurfaced social media post allegedly showed her using a racial slur — specifically, the “c-word,” a derogatory term. Screenshots have circulated across platforms, sparking widespread backlash from fans and fellow reality TV personalities.

What began as a lighthearted season quickly turned serious, as many viewers expressed disappointment and anger over the language used. On Twitter and TikTok, fans began calling out the behavior, questioning how it had gone unnoticed during casting. The controversy has led to a noticeable drop in Cierra’s follower count, with many unfollowing in protest and calling for her to be removed from the show.

Adding fuel to the fire, two fan-favorite Islanders from Season 6, JaNa and Serena, allegedly publicly unfollowed Cierra on Instagram. Whether producers will intervene remains to be seen, but the incident has cast a shadow over what was otherwise a strong fan showing for Cierra early in the season.

The situation reflects a growing trend of fans holding reality stars accountable not only for in-show behavior but also for past digital footprints. As Love Island USA continues, many are watching closely to see how the show — and Cierra — responds.
