Social Media Drags Cierra Ortega After She Chooses Taylor Over Andreina in Love Island USA's Most Savage Episode Yet

Yahoo6 hours ago
After one of the most explosive eliminations in Love Island USA history, the Season 7 girls' girl rep, Cierra Ortega, has found herself at the center of a very public backlash. In a twist that dumped five islanders in one night, Cierra shocked both fans and fellow islanders when she chose to save Taylor Williams over Andreina Santos, igniting a full-blown Twitter inferno and calling her 'girl code' credentials into serious question.
And let's just say… the internet is not holding back.
When host Ariana Madix revealed the twist that only one of the bottom six islanders, three guys and three girls, could be saved, fans expected tension. But what they didn't expect was a move so polarizing that it sparked one of the most brutal draggings of the season.
Despite Andreina having the support of several of the girls in the villa, including Chelley, Amaya, and Huda, Cierra went rogue, standing behind Taylor. And the public immediately clocked it.
'So girl code, girl code, girl code, but Cierra saves Taylor over Andreina? K.' one viewer tweeted, their sarcasm sharper than any recoupling speech.
'Cierra is weird asf get that girl off my screen. She rather save Taylor ass but not Andreina. She insecure asf,' another posted.
'Cierra didn't stand behind Andreina because Nick was drooling over her the first two days she was in the villa,' someone else speculated, hinting that this was personal.
Season 7, Episode 27, aired Thursday night on Peacock, and it instantly reshaped the entire game. Andreina, Gracyn, Jaden, TJ, Austin, and Taylor were all ranked the lowest in public votes. The remaining cast was told to stand behind only one of them.
The results? Taylor received support from Clarke, Pepe, Nic, Ace, and most controversially, Cierra. Andreina, by contrast, had Chelley, Amaya, and Huda backing her. TJ was supported by Zac and Iris, Austin by Olandria, Gracyn by Elan, and Jaden by Chris and Bryan.
When the votes were counted, Taylor was saved. Everyone else, Andreina, Gracyn, Jaden, TJ, and Austin, was sent packing.
And fans felt that one.
'Cierra you sealed Andreina's fate,' one person posted bluntly.
'Saving Taylor over Andreina… Cierra ur weird.'
'Cierra standing behind Taylor is very weird?? All your best friends were behind Andreina. Girl what??'
The internet didn't stop at dragging, they started decoding. Fans have begun crafting their own theories about why Cierra chose Taylor over Andreina, and many of them revolve around Nic and Olandria.
'What if I said Cierra voting for Taylor over Andreina was intentional but not genuine?' one user wrote. 'Because she feels a type of way about Nic and Olandria exploring their connection. So since she feels betrayed, she's gonna keep the person there that she knows Olandria hates as a F you.'
'Cierra not only stood to save the man who played in her best friend's face, but she didn't vote to save her other friend's man, or even Andreina… she's such a BIRD I hate ittttttt.'
Others took aim at her motives, implying the decision was driven by jealousy or insecurity.
'You could've chose TJ (your friend's man) or Andreina (your friend) but chose the man that did your best friend dirty on national TV. Giving male-centered and wanted to go with whoever Nic went with.'
Despite her elimination, Andreina's fanbase is already manifesting her comeback.
'Cierra weird but honestly Andreina finna have 30 athletes in her DMs,' one user tweeted confidently. 'Her man was never in that villa.'
And they might be right. Andreina has been a standout all season, classy, confident, and unproblematic. Her exit may have broken some hearts, but viewers are already predicting a major post-show glow-up.
The mass dumping was nothing short of nuclear. The usual 'two by two' eliminations were tossed aside in favor of a gladiator-style reckoning. Host Ariana Madix warned of high stakes, but no one expected five islanders to be axed in a single night.
Taylor Williams, backed by five islanders, survived. The rest were eliminated on the spot.
With the finale approaching, this twist has not only altered the villa's power structure, it's obliterated it. Formerly strong alliances are now shaky. Friendships are being questioned. Every decision moving forward is about survival.
The question now is whether Cierra herself will survive this backlash. Her image as a loyal girls' girl has taken a major hit, and the viewers aren't forgetting anytime soon.
The villa just got smaller. The drama just got bigger. And Cierra? She may have just become the Season 7 villain by accident or by design.
We'll find out soon enough.
Catch all the fallout from this season's most cutthroat elimination on Love Island USA, streaming exclusively on Peacock. Episode 28 promises more romance, more revenge, and maybe, just maybe, a redemption arc.
Or a bigger blow-up. Either way, we'll be watching.

Megyn Kelly Trashes Charlize Theron For Sleeping With A 26-Year-Old Man: 'Have Some Class'

Megyn Kelly has criticized Charlize Theron for her recent comment about having a one-night stand with a man much younger than she is. Kelly slammed the actress as "vulgar" and "off-putting" for revealing such dalliances in public like that, adding that it's "inappropriate" and "feels weird." Charlize Theron also caused quite a stir when she said celebrity attendees at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Venice wedding "suck." Kelly has taken aim at Theron after she revealed she recently slept with a 26-year-old man. The Hollywood star, who's currently promoting her new film "The Old Guard 2," sat down with Alex Cooper on her "Call Her Daddy" podcast, where she revealed she recently had a one-night stand with an unidentified fellow. "I did just recently f-ck a 26-year-old, and it was really amazing… I've never done that. And I was like, 'Oh, this is great.' Women should be the ones that are like, 'F-ck you, I'm going to have an orgasm,'" she said. Theron's comment seemed to make Kelly uncomfortable, and the former Fox News host didn't hesitate to criticize her for making such a comment publicly. "She decided to go on a podcast tour, for some reason, sat down with 'Call Her Daddy,' the sex podcaster who interviewed Kamala Harris, all about how much they love abortions," Kelly said during Thursday's episode of her SiriusXM podcast "The Megyn Kelly Show." "And this is Charlize Theron trying to sound like [a] super cool girl, and I'm gonna let you decide for yourself whether that's what she accomplished," she continued, per the New York Post. Kelly added, "She's 49 years old. She's trying to sound like she's 26 years old, and it's inappropriate. It feels weird. She's one of our biggest stars, that's true. Act like it… Have some class." Kelly went further to share that Theron may be misrepresenting her sexuality and blowing her sexual encounters out of proportion for attention. "I kind of call bullsh-t because I believe that Charlize Theron probably prefers women. That's my belief. Okay, I'm entitled to my opinion, and there's no reason to get into the details as to why I believe it, but I believe it," Kelly said. "And I don't think that she's telling the truth about the 26-year-old," she added. Theron's sexuality has long been a subject of debate among netizens, but the "Atomic Blonde" actress addressed the talks in a 2017 appearance on the Bravo television show "Watch What Happens Live" with Andy Cohen, where she was asked if she had "dipped in the lady pond." "When I was young, yes," she told Cohen at the time. "I mean, it's just so not a big deal. I'm so old school — I really like dudes." The 49-year-old went on to share that even though she'd previously explored her sexuality, she identifies as heterosexual and has offered supportive messages of bisexual visibility. Kelly also took a jab at the actress for using profanity during her appearance on the show. "I love a good F-bomb… But every sentence? An F-bomb? 'F in this, F in that, F in God,' what is that? This is like an affectation where she's trying to act like, again, young, cool girl, 'I get it, and I don't need a man,'" she said. During her chat with Cooper, Theron also spoke on the freedom she feels raising her two adopted children without a male partner; however, Kelly wasn't having it at all. "She's got two children. They don't need a father? She's super proud of the fact that there's no father in the picture? Great. Good for you," Kelly said. "It's a very strange thing to see one of our best-known actresses sit down like that, with the crossed legs, with this sex podcaster, talking about their orgasms and who they f'ed. It's just really off-putting." Theron has been involved in several controversies recently, including when she ripped into Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's star-studded wedding in Venice. Several A-list stars, including Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, and Sydney Sweeney, graced the lavish nuptials, prompting the actress to diss them, saying the attendees "suck." "I think we might be the only people who did not get an invite to the Bezos wedding," Theron said while hosting the fifth annual Block Party for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project last week. "But that's okay because they suck and we're cool," she added jokingly, per The Blast.

Chris Haynes Reveals Damian Lillard's Reaction On Getting Waived, New Details Suggest He Was Planning To Leave Bucks Next Summer

Chris Haynes Reveals Damian Lillard's Reaction On Getting Waived, New Details Suggest He Was Planning To Leave Bucks Next Summer originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Damian Lillard was blindsided, and he's not alone. Advertisement After the Milwaukee Bucks made the stunning decision to waive Lillard and stretch his $113 million contract over five years in order to sign Myles Turner, NBA insider Chris Haynes dropped a series of bombshells that peeled back the curtain on how it all unfolded and how it's reverberating throughout the locker room. "I spoke with Damian Lillard briefly, and, you know, he was surprised. He was surprised. The Bucks did recently go out there to Portland to meet with Dame, but they did not tell Dame that this was coming. He had no clue about that as well. I was told that Dame found out about the situation just like everybody else found out." "So, you know, you could read into that as you may, but at the end of the day, he's going to be a free agent, first time ever in his career. He's going to have the opportunity to choose his own team." "And, you know, he's been working out. I've been seeing videos of him working out, rehabbing right now. So he's in a good place mentally. But there's definitely things that could have been done and handled differently, for sure." Advertisement That alone has sent shockwaves through the NBA world. Lillard, a future Hall of Famer and one of the league's most respected veterans, was not even given the courtesy of a heads-up before his abrupt release. This wasn't just a cap-clearing move; it was a cold, calculated departure from the loyalty-based culture Milwaukee used to pride itself on. Marc J Spear has since confirmed that Lillard likely would have left the Bucks next summer anyway had he reached free agency under healthier circumstances. "Don't feel bad for Damian Lillard. This is a win-win. Dame had a player option for next summer that he was considering not exercising. No secret living away from family in Milwaukee was a challenge. So he gets his $ and is now an unrestricted free agent free to go where HE wants." Meanwhile, Giannis Antetokounmpo is said to be 'not pleased' with how the franchise dumped his co-star. Advertisement Haynes reported that Antetokounmpo 'didn't like how it was handled' and has been 'weighing his options' regarding his future with Milwaukee, again stirring up those annual whispers about whether the Greek Freak might finally explore other teams. In the immediate aftermath, it's clear Milwaukee prioritized cap maneuvering and long-term roster fit. By stretching Lillard's $112.6 million deal, they'll now carry $22.5 million in dead cap space for the next five years. That's a significant hit and shows just how desperate they were to reshape the team around Giannis. In return, they acquired Myles Turner, a 28-year-old elite rim protector and floor spacer coming off a season where he averaged 15.6 points and shot a career-best 39.6% from three. Turner gives Giannis the defensive anchor and frontcourt partner he's lacked since Brook Lopez's prime. But at what cost? Lillard's Bucks tenure ends with bittersweet disappointment. After arriving in 2023 with championship hopes, he battled injuries, chemistry issues, and playoff heartbreak. He averaged 24.6 points and 7.0 assists but never got to show his full impact in the postseason due to health setbacks. Advertisement Now, his departure leaves behind more than just cap room. It leaves questions about culture, trust, and whether the Bucks just made a win-now gamble that could haunt them later.
