Love Island USA: Viral Moments From The Reunion Episode

Love Island USA released the most-awaited reunion episode on Monday, August 25. As expected, surprises filled the episode, and it contained a bit too much spice and some controversy.

They added that they are ‘besties’ and nothing else. While Clarke and Taylor said that they are still together and going strong, winners Amaya and Bryan kept quiet about why they unfollowed each other on Instagram. Another couple who unfollowed each other was Iris and Pepe, who were not a part of the reunion episode. The episode also did not show Cierra and Yulissa.

Love Island USA Reveals Truth About Cierra Ortega’s ‘Screaming Confessional Moment’

The show removed Cierra Ortega after an old post of hers resurfaced on social media. In the post, Ortega made a racial comment. Many loved her when she entered the villa as a bombshell, but the show removed her a week before the finale due to her controversial and racist posts. “Botox isn’t for everyone, but I love it for me,” she wrote in the post.

Fans speculated that they heard her screaming “you can’t do that” in the background of Olandria’s confession in episode 30. Further adding to the speculation, the fans suggested that it might be the moment when they removed Ortega. But in the reunion episode, the show cleared the theory and speculation around the ‘screaming confessional moment.’

During the episode, Ariana Madix brought the topic up and finally addressed the rumors. She said, “I want to bring up a moment that had so many fans talking.” She further added, “Viewers thought they could hear Cierra screaming in the background while Olandria was in the confessional, but that wasn’t quite it.” The same video was played, and then the view from the other camera was shown. It was revealed that Iris and Huda were loudly singing ‘Who Says’ by Selena Gomez in the bathroom.

Soon, it all became clear that it was Huda and Iris singing instead of Cierra screaming. Ortega also released an apology video after she was axed. In the video, she apologized for whatever she wrote in the post. She added, “I had no idea that the word held as much pain, as much harm, and came with the history that it did, or I never would have used it.” Cierra ended the video by saying, “I had no ill intention when I was using it. But that’s absolutely no excuse, because intent doesn’t excuse ignorance.”  For more such Love Island tea, keep reading TV Season & Spoilers.
