But one of the highlights was when the screaming fan theory of Cierra Ortega’s exit was finally addressed.
Following her abrupt exit from the villa, Love Island USA fans were quick to speculate that she could be heard “screaming” at the end of Olandria’s confessional in episode 30.
The fan theory claimed that someone could be heard screaming “you can’t do that” with it speculated that this was the moment Cierra was being removed from the villa.
And now the video of the “screaming confessional moment” has been addressed and the fan theory cleared up.
During the season 7 reunion show which aired on Peacock, host Ariana Maddix addressed the rampant theory.
She said: “I want to bring up a moment that had so many fans talking.
“Viewers thought they could hear Cierra screaming in the background while Olandria was in the confessional, but that wasn’t quite it…”
TRUTH IS REVEALED
A video then played of them showing the moment again, before showing the other camera view.
It was then revealed that Huda and Iris were in the bathroom shouting and singing Who Says by Selena Gomez.
So it was not Cierra screaming, it was instead Huda and Iris singing, which immediately disproved the fan theory.
Huda said, “That’s a bonding moment.
“I’m glad they showed that, because everyone keeps saying how they can’t understand how Iris and Huda are friends after the villa.
“But we bonded like that!”
VIRAL MOMENT
In the TikTok video that went viral earlier this summer, 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 happened 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.”
CIERRA’S REMOVAL
Cierra, 25, was fired from Love Island USA after a social media post resurfaced of the star using a racial slur.
Cierra was a fan-favorite on Love Island USA as the first female bombshell to enter the villa.
Cierra coupled up with Nic Vansteenberghe and the two explored their connection throughout the show, even closing off their relationship ahead of the finale.
But a week before the finale, Cierra was sent home over a resurfaced social media post.
The post read, “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 ch***y when I laugh/smile so I love getting a mini brow lift to open up my eyes and get that snatched look.”
APOLOGY AFTER AXE
She apologized in a video when she returned home from Fiji, as she said, “I want to first start by addressing, not just anyone that I have hurt or deeply offended, but most importantly, the entire Asian community.
“I am deeply, truly, honestly, so sorry. I had no idea that the word held as much pain, as much harm, and came with the history that it did, or I never would have used it.
“I had no ill intention when I was using it. But that’s absolutely no excuse, because intent doesn’t excuse ignorance.”
