Lolo Jones does not leave MTV’s ‘The Challenge’ alone.
The Olympian has been battling the reality show for a long time after being seen quitting the competition during Wednesday’s episode.
“The challenge forced me to quit, and those are facts,” Jones wrote on Twitter on Thursday. ‘I’ve never stopped in my life. Heck, I’m one of the oldest Olympians I’m not quitting. I was set aside before the show and told to make it look like I should leave. ‘
Jones, 38, left ‘The Challenge: Double Agents’ after having a conversation with the other rivals and saying goodbye to her. Jones, who competed in the track and field sports at the Olympics, said she should leave to focus further on training.
And this extra practice time was apparently well spent. Jones won the first bobsleigh competition of her career at the IBSF Skeleton and Bobsleigh World Championships in Germany earlier this month.
However, it is safe to say that the loyal viewers of ‘The Challenge’ are not in favor of stopping the program. And so she revealed that the reality TV – gasp! – not quite genuine.
“There are so many secrets that viewers do not know,” wrote Jones, who appeared last season of the long program. ‘I hope people remember that the challenge is not a real competition, but a television program. They do not show the complete picture, but what is entertaining. So before you write hate messages, know that you are a judge and jury without full evidence
“The good news is, if I had not gone there, I would not have made the American Bobsleed team. I would have missed the team that was cut off by two days! If I did not make the team, I would not be a world champion. Ultimately, God leads our paths. God knows how hard I fought to stay after meetings with producers ”
It is unclear why MTV Jones would be forced to quit and the network did not comment on the allegations.
