Lolo Jones has blasted her critics after they perceived her to have made some disparaging remarks about The Challenge: Double Agents.
Lolo Jones Blasts The Challenge TV Show!!
The Olympian left the show after becoming rather unhappy at the way it was being run. And she made no bones about how upset she was at the direction of the show. In a post to her fans on Twitter, she called out the producers for making her walkway. She said: “MTV, the challenge forced me to quit, and that is facts. I’ve never quit anything in my life.
“Heck, I’m one of the oldest Olympians bc I don’t quit. I was pulled aside before the show and told to make it look like I needed to leave.” But people did not take that so well and claimed that Lolo simply could not take the heat. While she is entering the tail end of her career, it is another thing to suggest that she is done and dusted. But one star, Ashley Mitchell, brutally shaded Lolo.
She tweeted: “So entertainers make better TV than athletes…hmmm who would have guessed.” Lolo was not going to have any of it. She has been unfairly criticised in the past for getting plaudits simply because of her appearance rather than athletic skill. And Ashley merely wanted to expose Lolo for what she perceived to be a lack of talent.
Lolo replied with the following: “Tell that to Lebron he just came out with a movie, JJ watt and Tebow, griffin and the countless other athletes that have tv shows after their careers.” Lolo is a highly competitive athlete, but it would seem that she had forgotten the entertainment aspect.
It is one thing to take on the world’s best in the Olympics, and another thing when facing your opponents on a TV show. That is why she had grievances over the authenticity of the series. She added: “There are so many secrets that are not known to the viewers. [I] hope that people remember the challenge is not a real competition; it’s a tv show. They Do Not show the full picture but what is entertaining. So before u write hate messages, know u are judge and jury w/o full evidence.”
