Cierra Ortega, the candidate of season 7 of “Love Island USA” who left the show during her race in the midst of reactions on racist publications of social media of her past, is finally expressed on “Nicolandria”, the name given to the favorite of fans Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen. Cierra and Nic were a “closed” couple when she was launched from the season in episode 30. Nic and Olandria, who was also one of Cierra’s close friends in the villa, explored their link with Cierra Gone and were the finalists of the season.
In a nine -minute video published on Tiktok, Cierra addressed Nic and Olandria in detail for the first time. None of the candidates on “Love Island USA” spoke of the exit of Cierra to the camera during the rest of the season, and Nic or Olandria did not publicly comment on the situation of Cierra in the interviews after the final.
When asked by Variety After the final, if he intended to reach out to Cierra, the Nic side asked the question and answered: “I always take the time to deal with all his situation and to see where it goes. I take time with Olandria to focus on us and this new life that we live. ”
Cierra now tells viewers of “Love Island USA” that she “cries” her relationship with Nic in real time. The duo seemed to be one of the strongest couples of the villa when Cierra suddenly left.
“I go out thinking that Nic and I are in this incredible place … We are closed and we have these strong feelings for each other,” said Cierra. “See seeing any enracing internet [Nic and Olandria] Being together all the time that he and I were together … Yeah hurt. Even when I saw him, he didn’t click for me. While I was looking at a spectator like someone outside and I saw their connection to train [after I left]I was like damn it hurts.
“But two things can exist at the same time,” she continued. “I can be sad for myself that I cry this relationship and all these things that I thought I would happen between us, and I can also be happy for two people I care about. Over the days and I haven’t heard of one or the other, the more I injured myself. Closing… it’s a lot.
The release of Cierra of “Love Island USA” came in the middle of an avalanche of counterpoup against it on social networks after an alleged publication on the social networks of its past has resurfaced online in which it used the racist language. In the days that followed its start -up, Cierra’s family published a declaration on Instagram to denounce the toxic counterpoup that they were confronted with.
“We are not here to justify or ignore what has appeared,” said the family. “We understand why people are upset, and we know that responsibility is important. But what is happening online right now has gone far beyond.
Cierra finally published her own declaration on Instagram a few weeks after her release in which she said: “I want to start by no longer approaching anyone who I injured or deeply offended, but above all, the whole Asian community.
