A hot new explanation has entered—er, left—the villa.
Following Zak Srakaew’s exit from Love Island USA season seven, the former Islander is sharing what exactly went down when Cierra Ortega was removed for her offensive social media posts.
“When Cierra left, they gathered us all together—the producers,” Zak said during a TikTok live, “and they said, ‘Unfortunately, Cierra has broken some of the policies of our guidelines. She’ll no longer be here in the villa. And that’s all the information we can give you guys.’”
He and the rest of the Islanders “didn’t really know what was going on,” he continued, but that they were instructed to only talk with the producers if “they needed somebody to speak to.”
As for how Cierra’s partner Nic Vansteenberghe felt about her sudden exit?
“Nic was really upset that she left,” Zak, who was coupled up with Amaya Espinal before she moved on with Bryan Arenales, said. “But, at the same time comma he couldn’t really be super upset, or he couldn’t really express how he feels about the situation until he found out what she did or what she said.”
