Is Lolo Jones lying? Devin Walker rubbishes claims that MTV forced her to quit 'The Challenge: Double Agents'

Devin Walker has slammed the Olympian and said she has no credibility on 'Challenge Mania' Zoom chat

Lolo Jones self-eliminated after she lost the airdrop task on 'The Challenge: Double Agents'. She was visibly upset upon realizing that she and her partner Nam Vo didn't make it to the buzzer point on time. The next thing we know, she's ready to leave but not before she could express herself fully. Even though she didn't blame anyone for her early exit, Lolo's words did sting Devin Walker, who addressed her rage-quit speech in an episode of 'Challenge Mania' Zoom conversation on February 28, Sunday. 

When the topic was brought up in the said conversation, Devin was prompt in dismissing Lolo's claims. Soon after she left the show, the Olympian, in a series of tweets, pointed out how she was "forced" to quit the show and that MTV usually twists the whole truth behind the competition. Apparently, winners of the task Chris 'CT' Tamburello and Tula 'Big T' Fazakarley were not the fastest agents in the task.

Is Lolo Jones a 'quitter'? Here's what the Olympian won after she left 'The Challenge: Double Agents'

But Devin wasn't ready to accept any of it as the truth. He said: “She’s lying. It didn’t happen the way she says it’s happening. There should be no space for [the lies] because it belittles everything that so many people have built and passed on.”

He continued that it was surprising to see Lolo make such claims because the exit was very "calculated." "I knew that we weren’t gonna get the actual truth because I saw the actual truth get twisted by her several times in the actual house,” Walker shared and added that she has "zero credibility."

Even though Lolo blamed her exit on MTV, she was glad that she could self-eliminate because had she not done it she would not have made it to USA bobsled team. "There are so many secrets that are not known to the viewers. 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," she posted on the micro-blogging site. Her rant attracted some fierce comments from 'The Challenge' fans who called her out, said her behavior was not that of an Olympian.

"Either way, your overall behavior is not that of an Olympian. You are not someone I want representing the USA," a fan posted, while another commented: "If this is true (which it very well is), why did you treat Nam so horribly? Doesn't that speak towards your character? I get being competitive and hating losing, but maybe a public apology towards your behavior would go further with the fans."

"You bring up being an "Olympian" in every conversation but the fact is you're not even that good. And you whine about literally everything. "My shoe came off and caused drag" like no you just can't swim and were going the wrong way. At least Nam is happy now," a user wrote.
