Reality Steve explained that Ortega got "very sick after the basketball date and was taken to the hospital."
"She eventually wasn’t able to be medically cleared to return back to the show so she went home this episode," Cosmopolitan quoted Steve as saying.
The influencer said that she "honestly was so excited" about her date, but when she woke up next morning, her stomach was hurting and she later started throwing up.
"I'm in excruciating pain. I’m continuing to throw up. It’s a mess. This goes on for 12 hours," Decider quoted her as saying.
As her health continued to deteriorate, the production team took her to hospital where the doctor told her, "You have appendicitis and you’re going to need emergency surgery”.
Ortega, who got her gallbladder removed in 2018, stated that her father told her to take a flight back home in New York and get the surgery done there. However, this posed a risk to her appendix bursting on the plane.
"Honestly, it took me like a month and a half to recover emotionally,” she said, adding that after the surgery, her mother came to pick her up.
"It was really sad that we didn’t get that moment," she said about her date with Grant Ellis.
