Lolo Jones doesn’t quietly leave MTV’s “The Challenge”.
The Olympian was long against the reality show after seeing her leave the competition during Wednesday’s episode.
“Mtv the challenge forced me to quit, and that’s a fact,” Jones wrote Thursday on Twitter. “I have never left anything in my life. Heck, I’m one of the oldest Olympians I don’t leave, they left me behind before the show and told me it looked like I had to leave. “
Jones, 38, left “The Challenge: Double Agents” after having a conversation with the other competitors and saying goodbye to him. Jones, who has competed in the Olympics on both track and field and sledding, said he needed to leave to focus more on training.
And that extra training time was apparently well taken advantage of. Jones won the first sled competition of his career earlier this month at the IBSF World Skeleton and Bobsleigh Championships in Germany.
However, it is safe to say that loyal viewers of “The Challenge” were not kind enough to leave the show. And he has thus revealed that the reality of television is … xafogor! – not entirely real.
“There are so many secrets that viewers are unaware of,” wrote Jones, who has appeared past seasons of the long show. “I hope people remember the challenge is not a real competition, it’s a TV show. They don’t show the full picture, but what is entertaining. So before you write hate messages you know that you are a judge and jury without full evidence
“The good news is that I didn’t leave, I wouldn’t have formed the Bobsled USA team. I would have missed the team cut in two days! If he hadn’t formed the team, he wouldn’t be a world champion. Thus, in the end, God directs our ways. God knows how hard I struggled to stay after meetings with producers. ”
It’s unclear why MTV would force Jones to quit and the network has not commented on the allegations.
