After MTV’s The Challenge Season 37 Episode 14, fans want to know why Ashley Mitchell got deactivated from the game. During the episode, T.J. Lavin told the rest of the cast Ashley would not return to the game after she “broke the rules,” but he didn’t go into detail regarding what occurred.
“Agents, as you’ve seen, Ashley is no longer at headquarters,” the host told the remaining players prior to elimination. “Ashley has broken one of our rules, and because of that, Ashley is no longer able to stay in the game.

Ashley Mitchell released several statements to Twitter following her disqualification from MTV’s The Challenge Season 37. And it seems she also received some support from fellow players. Hughie Maughan, a rookie known for his explosive behavior on Spies, Lies, and Allies, stood up for her via Twitter, as captured via a Reddit screenshot.
“Ashley, the girl I met, is lovely, caring, and so funny,” Hughie posted to Twitter. “[W]e had amazing times together and I know all your stories and all your friends from all walks of life. I know where you’ve been and what you intend to be going forward. [F]or me, you’re amazing, and my time with you was [heart emoji].”
“I needed this so much,” Ashley responded to Hughie. “I’m on the edge, hunny. I’m not sure any of this is worth it anymore.”
Will she return to the show?
With everything that happened with Ashley Mitchell on The Challenge Season 37, will she come back to the show? MTV hasn’t made any official announcements just yet about Ashley’s future. While some players, like Dee Nguyen, were removed permanently from MTV shows for making racially-charged comments in the past, it’s still unclear exactly what went down with Ashley. But she noted in her live explanation that she didn’t say anything directly derogatory or racist.
“I pretty much flipped out and said some things I shouldn’t have,” Ashley said. “Nothing derogatory, no slurs, nothing racial. I just kind of went in on him.”
It doesn’t sound like Josh agrees with Ashley, though. “Waiting on MTV to give me the green light to say my piece because this is bulls***,” Josh wrote in a now-deleted comment in response to Ashley.
