The drama unfolded on Sunday night, when producers revealed Cierra had “left the villa for personal reasons” following the resurfacing of offensive social media posts.
But now fans claim they heard her exit play out in real time, behind the scenes of Olandria’s confessional.
In a TikTok video that’s gone viral, eagle-eyed viewers zeroed in on a moment in the episode where a woman can be heard screaming off-camera: “You can’t do this!”
The outburst happens mid-way through Olandria’s beach hut confessional, with fans speculating the background noise was Cierra being escorted out of the villa.
One TikToker commented: “i only caught it bc i’ve never heard any typa noise during confessionals so it was random but once you hear the actual words you realize production messy asf lmao.”
Another said: “I wonder how the other islanders reacted while this was all happening cause most of them probably saw her getting taken out.”
A third added: “LMAOOOO it’s the fact that olandria don’t even gaf!!!!” with a laughing emojis. “She just talking into the mic and that’s all.”
One more pointed out: “They’ve also removed this part from the episode.”
Fans previously called for Cierra to be fired from the hit reality show after uncovering a controversial post where she appearently used a racist slur.
In a screenshot of what appears to be Cierra’s Instagram story, posted to Reddit and TikTok, the post said: “Botox isn’t for everyone but I love it for me!!!
“I am incredibly expressive with my face and I catch myself frowning for no reason throughout the day when I’m focusing on something or thinking too hard lol.
“I can also be a little c****y when I laugh/smile so I love getting a mini brow lift to open up my eyes and get that snatched look.
“This is not me encouraging but more so sharing.”
Reacting to the news on Reddit, one person said: “I’m so sad she was one of my favs.”
“There’s genuinely no excuse in 2025 to not know that’s a slur,” added a second.
‘GENUINELY NO EXCUSE’
They continued: “Genuinely no excuse with all the (even surface level) knowledge being passed around.”
A third person penned: “This is a SLUR!!!! IDC where you’re from or where you grew up, this has been a known slur word. People should be held accountable for their ignorance.”
While a fourth said: “It’s so crazy people still use this word. I grew up in an area where this word was literally never used.”
As well as the general complaints and outrage, many are now calling for Cierra’s removal from the villa.
“Yulissa was removed from the show for saying derogatory slurs. Why is racism towards Asians normalized and why should it continue?
“The usage of slurs in common language is not okay, it will never be okay, and she should be called out for it,” said one.
Someone else then added: “Wait but Yulissa got removed for posting a racist remark….how does one get a swift exit but this does not?
“It seems that they should be all or nothing. Don’t weigh which slur is worse than another. All is wrong!!”
