Maybe before 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:56.360 we get into the latest development of what occurred with 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.119 multiple people not multiple, but a couple of people being 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:03.440 removed from the show due to some racist remarks tweet 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:07.080 social media stuff that have been uncovered. I do want 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.640 you to give the rain drops a very quick crash 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:15.679 course on Love Island that is hosted right hosted by 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.760 Badda Pump Real star Arehanna Maddox. 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.600 Yeah, so Love Island. Now, this is my first season 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.520 watching Love Island. I'm a new Love Islander this season. 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:30.000 But it's like part dating show, part social experiment, part 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.880 competition show. And it takes i mean, like the most 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.640 beautiful twenty somethings that you can find. Put them, they 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.520 send them to Fiji, put them in this villa together, 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.440 and then they just get to date each other and 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.200 they go through like a series of like coupling up 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.120 and then they can recouple. They have like the world's 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.080 grossest challenges or they do stuff like spit milk into 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:55.040 each other's mouths and they have to kiss on everybody. Yeah, 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:59.480 it's it's raunchy. Apparently the challenges have been getting freaky 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.200 or in freak here each season, so this, you know, 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.119 season seven is likely the most freaked out season they've 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.920 had yet. But yeah, so they're on this this their 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.000 mfigi in this villa and they get to date each other. 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.480 And the whole goal of Love Island though, is to 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.719 find love. Now, there is a one hundred thousand dollars 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:21.080 prize that you can also win, so some couples have 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:22.960 been said to go on there just so they can 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.240 scam and try to win the money, but the idea 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.680 is too and to find love. And there have been 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:32.919 some successful couple Season six, most notably have well three 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:37.240 successful couples of winners Serena and Cordel, Janay and Kenney, 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:41.160 and also Leah and Miguel. They all met and were 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.400 coupled on season six and they are all still together 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.640 to this day. So people do genuinely find love and 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.559 a lot of fame. And so that leads us into 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.360 you know, season seven, which is the most viewed season. 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:58.039 I think the statistic is like forty percent increase in 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:02.520 new viewership from last so like, you know, more people 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.400 are watching now than ever, and it is partly because 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.200 of the success of season six and how many great 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.240 couples came out of that and how famous the couples 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.600 and the people who like didn't end up coupled up 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:17.120 or when they got so famous for being on Love Island. 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.760 So yeah, season seven is where we are and. 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:22.920 No, no, you did a fantastic job. 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:27.000 And what I've also learned is that there's a few 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:31.960 castmates whose Instagram following, for the first time in the 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:33.000 history of the show. 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.080 Have a mask more than a million. 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:41.200 Somebody just reached two million followers, okay on Instagram. 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.400 Yeah, she just reached two million, and she's one of 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.839 She's one of the most controversial cast members of the 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:50.080 season because she was coupled up with this guy, the 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:51.960 you know, the hottest guy in the villa. She was 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.480 coupled up with him at first and very overbearing, like 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:59.839 wanted to close off with him, and she America recoupled 0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:02.719 him because they saw how like overbearing and toxic she was, 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:06.640 and America recoupled him with somebody else. She crashed out. 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:08.359 It was like a whole thing. She was calling the 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.200 boy everything but a child of God. And then he 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.279 ends up being betrayed by his friends in the villa 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.200 and they voted him out and let her say so, 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.839 she's controversial because half of the audience is like, she 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.600 should have been sent home, like production should have sent 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.440 her home because of her like verbal abuse of this 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.800 guy Jeremiah. But there's another half caught the hood of 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.920 Stands that people some people call them the hood rats, 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:38.040 they call them the hood rats, but the hood of 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:41.400 Stands are like, no, that's my queen, Like she deserves 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.920 a crash out, Like the girl is going through she's 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.839 going through a lot, she has a baby. It's a 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:50.719 whole yeah, yeah, but I will, you know, beautiful young lady, 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.880 she's twenty four years old. I did not agree at 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.719 all with her treatment of Jeremiah or her treatment of 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.000 any of the bombshells when they came in. She does 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.600 seem to be very moneyulative in selfish. But she's twenty 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.599 four years old, and she had her child when she 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:06.840 was like nineteen, So I think, on top of her 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.800 being young, there's some arrested development that happened. If you 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.280 have a baby at nineteen, you have to you know, 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:14.720 your life changes forever. And so I think she just 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.480 stuck in like, you know, a younger mindset and then 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.880 being twenty four, like who doesn't have some of their 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:23.200 worst moments in their twenties, Like, so where I want 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.080 to you know, drag her also am like as a 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.600 woman in her thirties, I've crashed out on multiple occasions 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.679 and luckily they were not blasted for the entire world 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:33.040 to see. 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:38.080 So go me, go jazz and go to the Hoodahstans 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.280 and also the hood rats. 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.600 I'm here for all of it. 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.320 So one of the things that I do want to 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.480 talk to you about is you mentioned how America voted 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:53.880 for somebody to be recoupled, so the audience gets to 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.440 vote for who gets to be in the relationship. 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.640 Yeah, so the audience has some say. So we don't 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:04.320 vote every episode, but there are times when polls open up. 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.360 You have to download the Love Island Vote. You have 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:10.440 to register to vote in the Love Island app. Yes, yeah, 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:14.280 and so ever so often we will get a chance 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.360 to vote. So sometimes you'll vote for your favorite couple 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.120 or just recently, we have to vote for our favorite islander, 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.600 so like our favorite girl and our favorite boy in 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:26.160 the case of Jeremiah and Hood Up three Bombshells came 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.680 in and America got a chance to vote for who 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:32.600 the Bombshells could be coupled up with. So the female 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.480 bomb show was Iris. America voted for her to be 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.439 coupled up with Jeremiah because we all wanted him away 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.680 from Hood. And I'll tell you, Carlos, that was one 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.400 of the times when America was the most united because 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.920 I don't think I knew a person that did not 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.360 vote for Iris to be coupled with Jeremiah. 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:52.400 And then Jalen and Orlandria were coupled up together. 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:57.800 Gosh and Pepe and Hannah were voted to be coupled 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.400 up together. So that's how that went. But we don't 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.480 we don't vote every episode, but when we do vote, 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:04.160 we rock the vote. 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:05.120 We rocked the vote. 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.640 All right, rock the vote. I've heard that since back 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:09.320 in the elocution. 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:17.280 Okay, so we we got to talk about these most 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:22.120 recent episodes. So one of the things that happened last night. 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:24.640 So I had a great holiday weekend. I'm on the 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.880 plane headed back to my resident residents, and it was 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:35.040 breaking news that Love Island, Sierra Ortega makes shocking exit 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:44.240 for personal reasons as passed racial slurs resurface. This happened Sunday, 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:51.520 July sixth, where the narrator ian is a Sterling really 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:57.280 announced during episode thirty that Sierra has slept the Peacock's 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:04.360 show due to a person no situation, therefore leaving contestant 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:10.800 Nick single Jazz what happened to this situation? Because I 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:15.520 have been hearing in addition to this particular exit, there 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.920 has been I believe, I believe one or two prior 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:25.920 to this for some racial slurs that happened uncovered through 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.679 a deep social media die from the fans. 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.400 Yes, So in order to talk about Sierra, let's back 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.959 up to the first islander this season who was actually 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:39.520 sent home for racially insensitive comments. Ulyssa was one of 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.920 the OG. So the people that come into the villa 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:43.960 on the first day are considered the OG. So Ulyssa 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:45.480 is considered an OG islander. 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:46.480 And I want to. 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:50.440 Say it was like episode one or two, very early 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.720 on in the season, some clips from a podcast that 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.480 she went on resurface of her saying the N word. 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:00.640 Ulyssa is Cuban from Miami and has no business saying 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.480 the N word, And it was like, not one of 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.760 those things. There was like a one time thing a 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.319 long time ago. These are like recent clips, and there 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.640 were multiple clips of her saying the inWORD, so you 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:11.520 can tell that this is just a word that's in 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:16.120 her daily lexicon, right, And so immediately people are like, no, 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:19.040 so they snatched this Ulyssa up out of the villa. 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:20.920 I think she was only in her couple maybe one, 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.920 like I said, one episode, we get to yeah, we 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:27.000 get to like episode two, and she's gone, and it's 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.920 kind of the same deal. Ulyssa has left the villa 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.360 and everybody knew it was because of those racially insensitive comments. 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.920 So then fast forward, mind you, like you said, this 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.280 is episode thirty of a show that comes on every 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:42.280 single day except for Wednesday and then on Saturday's day 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.560 air after some which is like a recap of everything 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.040 that's gone on so far. So we're getting five episodes 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.960 of the show. We're on episode thirty. In Sierra or Tega, 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.640 she was one of the first bomb shows that came in, 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.000 and she coupled up with Nick right away, so they 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.800 were a long standing couple in the villa and they 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.360 were the first couple to close off and on Love Island, 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:04.960 When you close off, that means that you are no 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.839 longer exploring any other connection, so like you are not 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.720 trying to find love with anybody else. This is your 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:12.040 person that you want to go to the end with 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.120 and hopefully win the one hundred thousand dollars with. She 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:16.920 was coupled up with Nick. They were the first couple 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.840 to close off, and then all of a sudden, these 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.439 an Instagram story of her resurface from I want to 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.600 say twenty twenty three. She was going to get some 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.360 botox procedures and she was talking about wanting to get 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:32.880 them in her eyes because her eyes look seaword, which is, 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.959 you know, a derogatory term that people use to talk 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:40.679 about Asian people. And people were obviously upset about that, right, 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:42.960 and so they're like, hey, if you kick you list 0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:44.800 so off of the show for saying the N word, 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.319 you guys need to kick Sierra off. And I think 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:49.920 there was you know, I don't want to speak for 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:53.040 producers or for production, but I think they were kind 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.319 of scrambling with what to do because we're so close 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:59.119 to the finale. The finale air comes on on the thirteenth, 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.720 I think, so we're very close to the Love Island 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:05.720 finale this. Yeah, so, and I'll check in a second 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:10.880 to make sure I'm being truthful with that, but yes, 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:16.280 so I'm sure they were scrambling. But then another Instagram 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:19.440 post resurfaces of her from years ago when she said 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:24.640 it again, and so they are like, same, exactly the 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:28.160 same exact slur she said it again. Yeah, and so 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:31.160 I think at that point there there was no way 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.000 to explain it. They had they had to get her off. 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.760 And so when we come into this episode that just aired, 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.000 we see Sierra literally in the morning, so the girls are, 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:42.440 we see her in bed with Nick, the girls are 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.760 getting ready, and then the next scene, Sierra has left 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.719 the villa due to personal reasons and now Nick, her 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.600 couple is. You know, they're asking him how he's feeling. 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:55.600 He's sad, but you know, in true Love Island fashion, honey, 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.040 they were sad for about five minutes and then that 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.480 next scene, boom, there we go back to normal. 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:03.560 Everybody's just back. 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:07.600 He coupled up with with Sierra's friend Landria, which people 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:11.000 have been shipping Nicolandria for you know, this entire time. 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:13.640 So they are finally getting the Nicolandria story that they 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:17.240 were hoping for It's so messy, Carlos that I am like, 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.680 I can't believe you weren't watching this. It's twenty year 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.920 old mess, twenty something year old mess. But it is 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:25.520 so chaotic and entertaining. 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:31.000 This is reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King. 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.320 Let's get back into the show. 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:36.160 No. And that's the thing. 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.920 I have a big case of fomo because there's nothing. 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.840 First of all, jazz and I like to where this 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:44.240 is a couple of shows that it. 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:46.840 Used to be, like, are you watching this? I'm like no. 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.400 She's like, I can't be the only one that isn't 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:50.120 watching something. 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.160 I'll watch it first and I'll tell you it's good 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.560 because we always want to be at the epicenter of 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:56.280 our culture. 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.280 And make no mistake about it. 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:04.360 My my bar who is a heterosexual black man, watches 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:07.840 Love Island. He's cutting hair. He's obsessed with it. A 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:11.480 lot of my friends are obsessed with it, and I 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.600 really need to get on the Love Island train. But 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.600 that's why I'm happy you're educating us. For those who 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.320 happen to watch to watch. So I'm gonna start watching next. 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.640 Season for sure. And you're all right. 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:27.440 The finale does air this Sunday, July thirteenth, so it's 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.760 gonna be a freaking doozy. 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:30.560 Now. 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:37.280 What has occurred is Sierra's parents Jazz, release a statement 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:43.320 moments after she was relieved of her services shut off 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:47.640 to Shawnnie O'Neill. So here we go. The stateman rees 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:50.480 at Sierra's parents. This has been one of the most 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:55.600 painful weeks of our lives. We've seen the post, the headlines. 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:56.960 The hurt and the hate. 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.800 Now, while Sierra hasn't seen any of it yet because 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:02.800 Jazz they have. 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:06.080 Their phones and social media. All that's confiscated, so they 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:07.320 don't get this change to see anything. 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:12.520 Okay, so it reads and while Sierra hasn't seen any 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:16.720 of it yet, we have, and so have the people 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:17.520 who love her. 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:21.440 We're not here to justify or ignore what's surface. 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:26.840 We understand why people are upset, and we know accountability matters, 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:31.200 but what's happening online right now has gone far beyond that. 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:35.160 The threats, the pro messages, the attacks of her family, 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.680 her friends, even her supporters. 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:38.960 It's heartbreaking. 0:16:39.360 --> 0:16:42.640 It's uncalled for, and no one deserves that kind of hate, 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:45.880 no matter what mistakes they've made. The statement goes on 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.200 and on and on, but in the end it goes 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:52.640 we're asking for compassion for patients, for basic human decency, 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.560 not just for her, but for everyone caught in the 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.440 middle of this. Thank you to those who continue to 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:04.080 show love even when it's not easy. So one thing 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:07.640 we know about fandom. You and I have talked about 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:11.840 this on my podcast. The fandom of like the Drag 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:14.000 Race fans, the Housewives fans. 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:17.440 The Love and Marriage Huntsville fans, Starlingue. We know that. 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:22.400 These are fans that are like very much outspoken on 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:23.199 social media. 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.119 You're on social media as well. You watch the show. 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:29.760 What kind of things have you been seeing about Sierra 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.560 to where the parents felt the need to release this 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:35.800 statement as Jasmine shaking her head. 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:40.199 Gosh, because it's been brutal, Carlos, I mean this season 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:43.400 as a whole. A lot of og Love Island fans 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:45.199 have been saying that they hate that there are so 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.960 many new viewers, because they said that the new viewers 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:49.680 are effectively ruining the show. 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:50.960 When everything was. 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:54.600 Going on with Hooda and Jeremiah, people were calling cps 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.000 on Hoodah. Now I haven't like confirmed. 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.320 Right Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait. 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:02.200 Yeah, yeah, this is what I've heard via like multiple tiktoks. 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:05.240 People were saying that people were calling cps on Hoodah. 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:08.320 They found her child's father, they found photos of her child, 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:13.719 and they Peacock had to put a statement or you know, 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.159 on the screen ahead of an episode like hey, we 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:17.960 know you love our Islanders and we know you love 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.360 watching the show, but please be kind. Like they had 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.560 to like put out a public statement to ask people 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:27.120 to stop cyberbullying these people. A couple of episodes after that, 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:31.399 Shelley and Orlandria, who are two of the black women 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.600 on the Love Island cast, they had, you know, two 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:37.239 episodes where they were kind of displaying some behavior that 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.919 wasn't so kosher and the audience flipped on them, and 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:43.240 then they were going to their social media pages and 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.399 like leaving hateful comments and like racist comments and so 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:50.040 yes with Sea Era when they go to Love Island, 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:53.360 like you mentioned, everybody is like locked away, so they 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:55.680 are completely cut off from the outside world. They don't 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.679 know what's happening politically, they don't know anything right, they 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:00.680 don't have any cell phones, they don't even have clocks 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:02.880 in the villa, so they don't even know what time 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:06.399 of day it is. Yes, So they are completely shut 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:10.000 off from everything, and so they have they're called handlers, 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:11.960 which are like family and friends who will run their 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:16.120 social media account. And Sierra's social media was actually doing 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:17.960 very well, like her handler was her friend. I want 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:20.280 to say her name is MJ running Sierra's account. She 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:22.159 was doing such a good job, she got a feature 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:25.960 in like Cosmo magazine to just talk about running the 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:28.720 social media account of somebody in Love Island. All of 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:32.000 this stuff starts to come out. MJ releases a statement 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:36.080 saying she is distancing herself from Sierra and no longer 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:39.280 will be running her social accounts. Sierra had another friend 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:42.360 named Johnny, who was a former Love Island contestant who 0:19:42.440 --> 0:19:45.400 was also very supportive of her. Johnny also came out 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:49.919 and says she's distancing herself from Sierra. And the backlash, 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:52.280 like that really stoked the flame of the backlash because 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:54.760 people were already upset, like wow, that was racist. But 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:56.840 it's like when your closest friends come out and they 0:19:56.880 --> 0:20:00.639 distance themselves from you, it makes it lets know that 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:04.600 like it's it's like open season on you, right, Like 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:07.800 they can start going hard and So Sierra is a 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:10.160 Mexican if I'm not mistaken, and she might be mixed, 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:12.520 but I know a part of her hair it's Mexican. 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:14.680 I've heard that people are trying to. 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:19.159 Call ice on her parents because of this. Yeah, so 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:23.639 it's become quite frankly disgusting. Like I'm all for holding 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:26.480 people accountable, but I also think like there is a 0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:29.480 way that we can talk to people and have them 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:30.480 learn from their mistakes. 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:31.000 I don't think. 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:33.600 I don't think people are irredeemable, even you Lissa, who 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:35.639 said the ND word me as a black person, I 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:39.160 don't think she deserves death threats. It's a teachable moment, like, hey, 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:41.880 you should not be saying that word. It's not okay. Yeah, 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:43.920 you should be you should not be on a show 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:46.600 like Leviolance because you shouldn't be rewarded. But you don't 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:48.680 deserve death threats. And it's the same with Sierra. And 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:50.600 I'm certainly you know, I don't want to speak for 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:54.840 Asian Americans with this slur, but I assume they would 0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:56.560 feel the same way. Like I don't like that she 0:20:56.600 --> 0:20:58.680 said it. She should have been removed from the villa, 0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:01.520 but she doesn't deserve that hate that she is receiving, 0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:06.760 like people are telling her to herself, like just completely 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:11.320 terrible and it's gone too far. And that's what you 0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:13.480 know what I mean? Like stand culture on the internet 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:17.040 has reached a level where I'm just like, what what 0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:19.840 are we going to do about it? Because people should not, 0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:22.560 Like she's gonna come out of this villa, open her 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:25.320 phone and all she's gonna see is a barrage of 0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:28.760 hate and like threats and people threatening her parents, and 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:31.280
