The Challenge contestants are responding to Jordan Wiseley’s bold claims after he alleged that he and others underwent severe mistreatment while on set of a historic new season . Last week, Wiseley, who is competing on The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras posted a scathing rant on his Instagram page, calling out producers for subjecting the participants to unreasonable conditions during filming. There, he claimed that while the show is meant to push people’s bodies to their limits, the harsh working conditions were counterproductive and exploitative, leading to a decline of their physical health.

The Challenge fans call Laurel Stucky's All Star 4 win a 'scam' The Challenge's Laurel Stucky doubles down on feud with All Stars 4 co-stars “The entire time you’re in there, you are losing shape. We are treated like s–t, we sleep like sh–t, we are fed like s–t, our schedules are dog s–t, 20 hour days like it’s nothing. Two weeks? You are gonna come out there, looking like s–t,” he said in the clip “Less than a month away and we HAVE to get in shape!! When I say “a challenge house is one of the worst environments to be in” I’m not exaggerating.

This one was by far the worst treatment we’ve ever received as a cast and it’s taken a toll,” he captioned the post.
