Cierra Ortega Under Fire Again for Alleged Repeated Use of Derogatory Term
Reality TV personality Cierra Ortega is facing renewed scrutiny over her alleged repeated use of a derogatory term. Recent online discussions highlight multiple instances, including an Instagram caption from 2015 and an Instagram story posted in January 2024. The 2024 incident occurred while Ortega was documenting a Botox procedure, where she reportedly used the term in reference to her eyes. This comes despite a direct message exchange from February 2023, where a user informed Ortega that the term was derogatory towards Asians. In response to the message, Ortega stated, "I just got educated on the topic! immediately deleting, i never knew the history of that word but will for sure never use it again, thanks for letting me know :)" Critics are now questioning Ortega's continued use of the term given her previous acknowledgment and promise not to repeat it. The controversy has sparked debate among fans and followers regarding accountability for public figures' language.
