The parents of "Love Island USA" star Cierra Ortega addressed their daughter's alleged racist comments that have resurfaced in recent days on social media.

On Sunday's episode, narrator Iain Stirling announced that Cierra Ortega had left the Peacock reality series due to a "personal situation," leaving her partner and fellow contestant, Nic Vansteenberghe, single.

Peacock has not clarified why Ortega left the show, but her exit occurred amid online controversy over posts she allegedly made that included a derogatory term for Chinese people.
