"She's playing the victim" — The Challenge: All Stars 5' Beth opens up about her feud with Jonna

Beth Stolarczyk is not holding back about her battle with Jonna Mannion on The Challenge: All Stars 5. Following her dramatic exit from the show in episode 2 on Jan 05, 2025, Beth addressed their long-standing feud in several interviews, saying that Jonna has continuously dodged blame for their past problems. She claimed that their rivalry, which dated back several seasons, resurfaced in All Stars Rivals, making it difficult for them to collaborate.

In a recent interview, Beth revealed that Jonna played the victim throughout their conflict, refusing to admit her involvement in their disagreements. She also explained her decision to leave the show, stating that she felt lonely and frustrated by Jonna's behavior.

According to Beth, their feud was renewed when Jonna rejected her worries and made her feel uncomfortable at the competition. Fans are still divided, with some supporting Beth's viewpoint and others believing she overreacted to the situation.

Let's get into more detail about this feud.

The Challenge: All Stars 5's Beth talks about her exit and cheating allegations

The Challenge: All Stars 5 episode 2 ended with Beth packing her bags and becoming one of the first ones to get eliminated. After losing the daily task in this episode, Beth sat for several interviews where she talked about her pairing with her rival, Jonna, and how their past feuds affected their gameplay, resulting in their exit.

The two have been on a sour patch since season 3 of All Stars when Beth pointed fingers at Jonna for cheating on her husband. When the same topic popped up during the interview, Beth opened up about how she took responsibility for what she said.

"We haven’t talked. I took responsibility for my part in it. I regret exposing her affair, but she’s not taking responsibility for her part in it. Instead, she’s playing the victim, saying I tried to ruin her life."

The Challenge: All Stars 5's star added, "No, I didn’t try to ruin your life. I think you tried to ruin your life. But I’m not going to be her scapegoat, that’s for sure. I wish her the best. I don’t wish her any ill will, and, unlike a lot of people on this show, I apologized. I lost my cool, I shouldn’t have said it, but at the same time, I don’t just make things up.”

She also talked about how Amber and Faysal shouldn't have put them against an all-boys team after winning the daily challenge. She called it a 'dumb move.' During the interview, she also reflected on her journey on MTV and on The Real World: Los Angeles in 1993 and how she is about to be 56 and is still doing The Challenge.
