Nelson and Josh<\/a> were both disqualified, along with co-star Leo<\/a>, after an argument on The Challenge<\/a>. Since they were sent home, it doesn’t exactly look like they’re friendly with each other, but now we can finally reveal where they stand after all the BTS beef.<\/p>\n

Host TJ Lavin simply said they were all out of the competition, but didn\u2019t go on to explain what the details were. Allegedly, Josh and Leo used the n-word during a game of Uno, and Nelson was upset about the slur being used, before breaking items in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

Nelson claimed that Josh sent him a DM, and wrote: “I let my emotions take over, broke dishes, destroyed kitchen and violated the code of conduct. That\u2019s on me. I\u2019m learning and growing. I received his DM apology, and I\u2019m giving him space to take ownership publicly.<\/span><\/p>\n

I received his DM apology, and I\u2019m giving him space to take ownership publicly. The fans and @TheChallenge<\/a> family deserve that too.
\nSaying you have Black friends doesn\u2019t give you a pass to use the N-word. This goes beyond TV. We need accountability, understanding, and growth.<\/p>\n
