They further mentioned, “We’ve seen the posts, the headlines, the hurt and the hate. And while Cierra hasn’t seen any of it yet, we have. And so have the people who love her. We’re not here to justify or ignore what’s surfaced. We understand why people are upset, and we know accountability matters.”
Cierra’s parents continued to explain that the situation has gone beyond the limit. The messages are being targeted towards the family and are hurtful and upsetting.
The statement further read, “The attacks on her family, her friends, even her supporters—it’s heartbreaking. It’s uncalled for. And no one deserves that kind of hate, no matter what mistake they’ve made.”

Meanwhile, Cierra was partnered with Nic Vansteenbergghe, who, following the former’s sudden exit, is left single. In the days leading up to the episode, a post by the contestant resurfaced online, where she used racially offensive language.
