The Challenge’s Chris “CT” Tamburello broke his silence about rumors involving him and his Vets and New Threats co-star, America Lopez.
Before Season 41 even started airing on MTV, there was a rumor that America cheated on her boyfriend with CT while filming the show.
Since nobody shut down the rumors then, various tea accounts helped the rumor gain steam online.
With the season now airing, Johnny Bananas spilled tea about America’s drunken antics following his elimination in Episode 4 last week.
According to the seven-time champ, she made out with several cast members after they went to the club during the cast’s bus ride.
He mentioned rookie Dee Valladares during his Death, Taxes, and Bananas podcast, and also CT as individuals America made out with or tried to make out with.
The Challenge’s CT addresses rumors involving America
On Instagram, CT has been actively posting about his life and The Challenge 41. A day ago, he shared a cryptic video about Season 42.
Tuesday brought another video, featuring a Gremlins image with “Make America Drink Again” written over it.
A clip of rookie Ben Davis’ podcast remarks appeared, in which Ben shared details about America making out with various castmates and grabbing Theo Campbell at the Challenge house.
The video ended with a scene from the movie Labyrinth as part of CT poking fun at the whole situation.
However, CT’s caption drew attention to the rumors and specifically addressed the fact that nothing had occurred between him and America.
“Sounds like the rookie got loose on her first challenge, ate food after midnight, made out w a few of her girlfriends after a few drinks. A standard young ‘Gremlin Night Out,'” CT wrote.
“FTR America was never inappropriate towards me. Ever. As far as I remember, the only time Shhhmeegle even spoke to me that night was when she scuttled to the top bunk after the Cat5 Rabies took its toll. Turbo and I had to use his aerosol deodorant spray like mace to shut her up…,” he said in his caption.
“Leave me out of this. And for those of you gaslighting the clickbait… 🖕,” CT also wrote.
CT tagged MTV on Instagram, as well as Season 41 castmates, including Olivia Kaiser, Izzy Fairthorne, Leonardo Dionicio, Will Gagnon, and Theo.
Interestingly, he didn’t tag America, who also has an Instagram account, and seemed to be a fan of The Challenge.
It’s worth mentioning that CT’s rookie castmates, Ben and Leka Sodade, attempted to dispel rumors last week about America trying to make out with CT via online remarks.
America hasn’t addressed any of The Challenge 41 incident online
As of this writing, America has been silent on her social media regarding what happened on that unaired night of intoxicated fun on the cast’s bus ride.
The Season 41 rookie previously appeared on Big Brother 25, which also featured Blue Kim, who was also a rookie on The Challenge 41.
During BB 25, America met fellow houseguest Cory Wurtenberger. They began a showmance, which then developed into a relationship outside of the CBS competition show.
They seem to be a couple still and regularly share their thoughts about the latest season of Big Brother.
However, both have been silent since the uproar over America’s unaired bus ride makeouts from The Challenge became heavily discussed on podcasts and amongst fans.
In a previous podcast, Bananas mentioned that America wasn’t promoting The Challenge much at all on her social media, and alluded to her being “embarrassed” about her “performance” during part of the season.
The Challenge: Vets and New Threats airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on MTV.
