MTV

Lolo Jones was shown leaving The Challenge during Wednesday's episode of the MTV competition show, but the Olympian is now claiming her exit was "forced."

Jones, 38, shared a lengthy thread on Twitter Thursday, claiming to followers that she was "told to make it look like I needed to leave." MTV has yet to comment on the matter.

"MTV the challenge forced me to quit, and that is facts," she alleged in her tweet. "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."

In her Thursday Twitter thread, Jones noted that her departure from The Challenge came just in time for her to make the U.S. Bobsled Team and score a win at the IBSF Skeleton and Bobsleigh World Championships in Altenberg, Germany, earlier this month.

"The good news is had I not left I would not have made the USA Bobsled Team," she wrote. "I would've missed the team cut off by 2 days! If I had not made the team I would not be a World Champion."
