"Working with Shane is very difficult" — The Challenge: All Stars alum Da'Vonne comments on her equation with her teammate
One of the segments of the episode saw Da'Vonne confide in Frank that Shane tried to portray himself as "a villain" and thought it was "a cool thing." While she added that she disliked it, Shane, who was sitting behind the pair, overheard Da'Vonne and said:
"If you wanna go home, we can go home too."
While speaking to The Challenge: All Stars cameras, Da'Vonne opened up about her equation with Shane and said:
"Working with Shane is very difficult, but I just have to shut up because in this moment, if I crack, we are ruined. Baby, ain't no final, okay?"
At that moment, Shane expressed he was "so over this," and walked away from the group. In a confessional, he criticized Da'Vonne for talking down to him behind his back and refused to win money for her. He further called her out for treating him like "s**t," saying he was "ready to go."
When a producer confronted Shane, he told her that he was never "mean" to Da'Vonne, nor had he ever disrespected her. He accused Da'Vonne of trying to create a narrative about him and his character.
"I don't know what else to do and I don't wanna leave because I wanna win money but to sit here and have her actively f**king destroying who I am as a person is devastating," he said.
However, later in the episode, The Challenge: All Stars cast member apologized to Da'Vonne. She urged Shane to reflect on his actions and understand why he lashed out at people who tried to help him. Consequently, the pair made up and Shane decided not to quit.
New episodes of The Challenge: All Stars season 5 come out every Wednesday at 8 pm ET exclusively on MTV.
