Josh Goldstein was removed from The Challenge<\/a>, alongside Leo and Nelson, for breaking the code of conduct. According to claims, he was removed for repeating a slur first used by Leo during a game, however Nurys has claimed that earlier on in the season that he said some things to her that were disrespectful towards Black women. <\/p>\n

According to GamerVev<\/a>, Leo was allegedly removed for using the n-word during a game with Nelson, and Josh was then disqualified for repeating it. Nelson then confronted Josh, walked away, and then returned to the kitchen, where items were broken.<\/p>\n

Nelson was reportedly upset for the language that was used. Production then removed Nelson to a hotel and disqualified for the damage he\u2019d made in the kitchen. So that\u2019s allegedly why all three were removed from filming, with Josh and Leo told to leave for using the slur.<\/p>\n

And during an interview with Sydney Newsom, Nurys spoke about her relationship with Josh now, saying she wants “nothing to do with my name tied to him.”<\/p>\n

Nurys says Josh Goldstein from Love Island allegedly said something to her that was extremely disrespectful toward Black women, and that we\u2019ll later see other things involving a similar topic. #TheChallenge42<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/aT3Q1Hae71<\/a><\/p>\n
