00:00I completely agree with the network's decision to remove me from the villa.

00:05I think that this is something that deserved punishment.

00:08Sierra Ortega from Love Island taking full responsibility for using the C word,

00:13an ethnic slur against Asians, in posts that got her booted from the show.

00:17I am deeply, truly, honestly, so sorry.

00:22I genuinely had no idea that it was a slur.

00:25I had no idea of its meaning.

00:27I had no ill intention when I was using it, but that's absolutely no excuse.

00:32That was a good apology post.

00:34I thought it was a perfect apology.

00:36I think that should be used in HR.

00:40Yeah, we'll put it in section two, right after that video of the creepy dude hitting on a co-worker.

00:44Sierra explains after her posts, one of her followers pointed out the term was a slur, and she apologized.

00:51Made the correction immediately. The word was immediately removed from my vocabulary.

00:55How did she use it?

00:57She was getting Botox, and she was like, I don't want to have the C word, I.

01:02She may not have known that this was a slur.

01:05I believe everything in the apology.

01:07I still am puzzled how to don't know that that word is offensive.

01:11Why do you buy that for someone in their 20s?

01:13I am in my 40s, and I knew it was wrong.

01:15You're roughly the same age.

01:17Do you know that that is a slur?

01:18Yes.

01:19You guys use an offensive phrase, which is Eskimo bros, all the time.

01:23You guys shouldn't be using that either.

01:24It's Inuit bros.

01:25Why? The Eskimos don't care.

01:27You say Eskimos don't care.

01:29That's a terrible argument.

01:31I have family in Canada that are Eskimos, and they don't care.

01:34Stop saying Eskimo, please.

01:37Anyway, it was a good apology.

01:39You can accept it or not.

01:41That's that.

01:41Now let's get back to hot people banging in the sunshine, huh?
