Love Island USA’s Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen became the fan-favorite couple of season 7 after viewers started rooting for them

I t’s just days before the Love Island USA Season 7 finale, and it seems like fans are encountering some kind of controversy every episode. Just hours after Cierra’s abrupt exit, some Love Island watchers discovered a racist comment from Nic’s social media.

Fellow contestant Belle-A Walker spoke out following Ortega’s exit, writing in an Instagram story Sunday that she is “deeply appreciative of the Love Island USA producers for taking a stand and making it clear that racism of any kind is not tolerated.”
