Been watching reruns lately I’m glad I didn’t see it though. Would’ve just been highly upsetting. She’s definitely done a lot to rub ppl the wrong way it’s a wonder why they continuously brought some of these problematic ass cast members back. Just because you’re a good competitor that shouldn’t excuse disgusting behavior.
Damn. When Leroy detailed his feelings about being in a room full of white people and needing help. I teared up. I’ve been there. I know that feeling of helplessness. It’s devastating. God bless you Leroy for how you handled this.
I empathize w him and his feeling disappointed in himself all these yrs later for doing his best at the time amongst a room full of white ppl where he likely felt pressured to “not make it a big deal” or come off intimidating by confronting Camila as Black men are told they are by racist ideologies 🥺 I know what it’s like to kick yourself in the ass years later for not making a bigger deal out of an instance of racism and it being ultimately to the benefit of the racist and a system tolerating it. We as POC can feel pressured to be “graceful” etc while being degraded and traumatized amongst white people. I empathize w him for feeling like he dishonored himself years later after feeling more brave and confident I assume due to the protests and Blk power we’ve seen regarding these topics on the world stage post 2020.

finding himself in a room full of white people completely safe unlike if it were reversed black people too soft and weak need everybody help for everything
I haven’t seen this yet but it always pissed me off that MTV/production didn’t eliminate her right then and there when the comments were made. MTV is a massive conglomerate, they could have put their foot down and made an example out of Camila, but instead they kept her employed AND handed her the grand prize in the end. Fucking insane.
Theres plenty of times she and others should have gotten sent home. Mtv has always been slow. Now with these new season people are getting sent home for anything which is good.
@@AllFactsNoShade I didn’t even realize they invited her back to film a Champs vs. Stars season (I’ve always skipped those). Mind blowing, brain numbing outrageous behavior by this network.
If you look at the history of MTV they have always allowed these actions. MTV has a history itself with racism back in the 80’s MTV didn’t even want to show black artists music videos.
MTV has a timeline of letting borderline racism slide, remember when jordan mocked Nia and called her “nigga” and made monkey noises? But they fired Nia after she SA’D him (which isn’t a bad thing but…). Or that time johnny and vince were using micro aggressions against cheyenne calling her “shantal” 😐
I just rewatched the season of The Challenge where he vocally wondered why every winning team got a dinner of pizza but then when he and another Black player won, the winners dinner that night was fried chicken. I wish they would’ve addressed that when it happened too.
Camilla should of been banned. Leroy took the high road and Noone supported him. Had I a black man been on the show I would of had your back bro. These shows are typically white cast heavy and Camilla felt safe talking that way. We need more diversity on Mtv
@@richardmossy5540 segregation is moving backwards. There already are black dominated shows in other networks. I'm talking about mtv challenge. Don't change the subject
What kills me is I've been a fan of Leroy's from the very beginning we've not only lost a amazing black role model but just a amazing male role model that my son can watch on t.v. and look up too. All because this billion dollar company didn't have his back whenever 💯% they should've.
I've always liked Leroy and always had hoped he'd make it to a win. It's so unfortunate that no one stood up for him, cast or production when this was all happening. They all stood quiet, which may as well say they all agreed with it. Camila should have been sent home that night. Sorry this happened to you Leroy. I wish you nothing but the best.
Yeah it sucks nobody stood up for him and a lot of those cast members that didn't say a word he invited to his baby shower. So did it really bother him that much? I don't know.
Yup. I wonder if Johnny Bananas who supposedly claimed to b “close” to Leroy and who’s been referred to by Leroy as his “best friend” has apologized to him for being a pitiful bystander while camila was degrading and traumatizing his “boy.” Apparently Leroy has appeared on his podcast discussing his current feelings abt the incident and how disappointed he was in himself abt how he felt he didn’t handle it well enough so I mean as a white person did Johnny not acknowledge his complicity in Camila’s racist onslaught to only have that denouncement i.e PANDERING PC energy in his confessionals and not on Lee’s behalf in the moment?? 🥴 Lee’s putting too much pressure on himself. He did the best he knew to do in the moment and had obviously felt courage post 2020 to speak his truth into power.
The fact that she got to stay and then won is wild. That was the definition of “privilege” and said it all. I am glad you are thriving after this, Leroy.
If Leroy would have touch Camilla for her big mouth, he would have been in jailed. She cursed at him and use racial slurs, she got rewarded for her inexcusable behavior. The double standard of unfairness is still real in society. God Bless.
I am in tears!! He speaks so beautifully about this whole situation! It's so admirable! I completely agree with everything said here. That is completely unacceptable and needs to be spoken like this. I hope Leroy sees this message and knows he inspires me!!
I am very sorry that Camilla said and did those things to you, and I am very sorry that the producers did not protect you. May God continue to comfort and heal you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
It really felt like MTV wanted to just ignore what happened, I remember watching it and wondering if Leroy hadn’t interrupted the deliberation to address the incident if it even would have been shown on tv.
I feel you Leroy integrity and dignity over money 💰 I forgive myself for not standing up to ablatantly racist manager 5yrs ago. Hell it took David Bowie to say something in a public interview for MTV to start airing Michael Jackson’s videos and other black artists. Nothing has changed….
@@SuperSonicWarrior93 If you knew what you were talking about, TJ did address racist intolerance during the episode. Get your facts straight before you comment throwing TJ under the bus.
@@Dackery. And you should just shut the fuck up, and take your stank attitude somewhere else. I don’t take advice from losers like you, who don’t know how to correct anybody, without being a douchebag about it.
@@Dackery. Tj didn’t say anything until Leroy. Spoke abt it. Tj walked in room “ ask camila what girl going up for elimination “ Leroy said before we start this camila I derseve apology & house does to
I am late to the challenge series, I only just recently binged watched them. It was disgusting how she was allowed to continue and go on to win. What was truly disgusting was that if you never raised it at the nominations, TJ wasn't going to address it.Wishing you and your family love and happiness.
She should’ve been banned when she attacked Luke let alone let her keep violently lashing out at people and getting some wins. It took her physically attacking female crew
Someone needs to locate and name drop these producers we need a wall of shame for all or them. People never mention the higher ups directly the root of the problem
It’s so easy to say that if something racist happens to you, you’d respond aggressively. When that actually does happen to you, that shit hurts you to your core. It almost stuns you. I completely understand why he reacted the way he did, to have someone in your face spewing disgusting shit can stun you.
The thing I didn't like about this whole ordeal was that there were these undertones of "we should all handle these situations like Leroy did". Nah. We're not all the same.
I agree! He had every right to react in that moment, and should have been forgiven. He handled it amazing but I would not judge him for being emotional at all
It is unfortunate that my dude decided to retire. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors. She should have went to jail or been sued for emotional distress. She tried to embarrassed Leroy for being a strong Blackman. I used to love watching the MTV challenges, but I stop watching since 2011 because it was more drama and politics instead of playing the game. I hope Leroy changes his mind about returning, if he doesn't, I certainly don't blame him. By keeping Camilla MTV said they condone racism by agreeing She was right, which is why she stayed. Leroy, Im glad you didnt let Camilla still your joy because she was looking for you to do so. God Bless.
She should've been kicked off the show permanently even before this incident, but letting words of an ignorant belligerent drunk cause you to quit something you love and to let it weigh on you for years is too sensitive bro. She embarrassed to out of herself so many times I'd never let someone like that affect me in any capacity.
I empathize w him and his feeling disappointed in himself all these yrs later for doing his best at the time amongst a room full of white ppl where he likely felt pressured to “not make it a big deal” or come off intimidating by confronting Camila as Black men are told they are thru racist ideologies 🥺 I know what it’s like to kick yourself in the ass years later for not making a bigger deal out of an instance of racism and it being ultimately to the benefit of the racist and a system tolerating it. We as POC can feel pressured to be “graceful” etc while being degraded and traumatized amongst white people.

I mean, my black friends have called me “white boy” in the heat of an argument and after they apologize and everything is cool. I can almost forgive that or at least if I’m a cast member I’m probably not doing more than telling her she’s wrong and to shut up. But what she says after he pillow when she went outside and started talking about black people, that was way to far. Every white person on that show should have stood up and told producers they quit unless Camila is gone for good. I’m willing to forgive heat of the moment anger, that’s me, I’m willing to do it. Nobody else has to feel that way. But the out right racism she spews outside is disgusting and she needed to be banned for good. I also agree with Leroy that the white people more than anyone else, especially the ones who are friends with Leroy, needed to step up and have his back at that point. That’s the point when you stand up and make point and example that no one is gonna tolerate that kind of nonsense. I feel like in that moment, as a white person, I would need to plant my flag in the ground and make it very clear which side I am on.
I'm so sorry 😞 that happened to you Leroy 😢, I truly understand and I'm very upset about how this was handled 💔 God Bless You Praying 🙏🏾 for All of Us,in this World 🌎
It's weird Johnny didn't stick up for leroy strong that argument. I know she was drunk and people were scared of her or something but why didn't someone just pull her aside or lock her in the bathroom.
That whole situation was upsetting. When even the fellow cast members feel that the person should be sent home for their behavior it really says a lot for the producers to sit by and do nothing. I agree with Leroy 1000% on how the producers sat by and allowed it. Camila is a good competitor but there’s plenty of people that would’ve taken her place and not been nearly as problematic. Every season she was on she had a blow up or meltdown over something small or game related. She literally went on a whole Rampage more than once just over being voted into elimination. & she did the same thing when her sister got voted in as well.
I think every black person can recall a moment when they felt alone like Leroy did when something of that magnitude happens and it gets ignored. I was just wishing that he had another black person there to understand what happened. MTV is not for black people and they made that clear from the beginning. MTV forces diversity right in front of the viewing audience by having just enough black people on every show. The sad part is that even white people who try to support you don't really lose sleep over racism. It will never be urgent to white people. White people applaud black people for "handling it well" ..who tf complements someone on how they mask their hurt.
Just physically he is a racists worst fear a tall imposing black man. What was weird was the producer's didn't give the TJ Lavin a head up about what happened. It was like what happened only mattered to Leroy. Been a fan since the show came out.
Much bigger fan of Leroy then Camila, but this is cringe to watch now. I have been called a White POS plenty of times, and never once did it even bother me. Camila said plenty worse during her time on the Challenge. What a victim. I agree it was uncool and out of line, but the fact that he needs to speak on it seems like a reach.
I remember seeing that episode and was sure she was going to be sent home! It should have been just like with Nelson, you assault someone, and you are gone! MTV needs to reevaluate “their” attitudes on race!
I really like you Leroy. They did you dirty in season 30. I am cycling through these seasons and I just saw that episode. I am appalled at how you were treated. I know this video is years old now but thank you for speaking up for yourself in this video. Better later than never. I wish you only the best. ❤❤❤
Even before Kam & Leroy got together they were my faves from day 1. They have the most heart & loyalty to their friends. They've never once said some shit that exposes poor character. Not once. They're the King & Queen of the Challenge forever & ever just on character alone❤ Glad Leroy has stood up for himself & that MTV has since left Camila off the show, although it should have happened wayy sooner. Idk how she lives with herself fr
He's right to be pissed at production. Camila is just a horrible little person who gets angry over shit she caused and will say whatever to piss off whoever she's directing her anger at. I can't stand her.
I fully agree with Lee n don’t doubt his feelings or the time he spent sour about it bc it was atrocious behavior by Camilla, the people around Lee that said nothing in his defense and MTV for keeping Camila around and not being there for Leroy BUT all I hear when Leroy speaks anymore is Kam. I’m glad he’s happy and she clearly loves him but don’t change Leroy please Kam. He’s not you.
They should be firing these people! There’s someone every season that have publicly made Racist remarks either before, during, or after The Challenge. They shouldn’t be on the show because Racism shouldn’t be excepted. Why would you think it okay to keep these people around? They don’t apologize till they are expose or till they could possibly lose something. If this was a Black person they would of thrown them out! These non Black people aren’t actually sorry for their crimes. Done with The Challenge.
I’m all for Leroy speaking on the issue etc Leroy even said live when It happened that he forgave Camila and knows that she not racist at all . Now Leroy calls Camilia out for what she done etc . Why not just say when it happened that she should be kicked off the show that should’ve been his main comment.
Okay 1. I am following this angelcake guy who does his homework, turns out this is not the first time that Camilla has done something racially insensitive, and the fact that she still stayed on the show thereafter to commit the second one with Leroy speaks volumes about MTV 2. The real reason why she stayed is because she is drama incarnate. As we've seen from the entire show in specific characters were virtually useless the drama started of the ones who stay because they start drama which sells. Drama mamas- Camila Josh Amanda Shane, Ashley, kailah Let's be honest the boring passive people don't stay very long -ninja, big t, Joss, arguably you You lot don't go around act like an ass, so you're not as profitable 3. In that, you are not necessarily a stereotypical black man by standing up for yourself. the real reason she went after you is because you know you was going to do nothing to her, physically anyway- as a guy AND has a black guy. Everyone else in that room will she has a genuine issue with (bananas and Tony) she went after you. Not just because you're black but because you're you. Granted you let her hang yourself but as you can see it didn't mean anything in the end of the season -she won. So we have to start promoting that abuse racially or genderly is not okay and that it is okay to defend yourself -maybe not physically but damn sure in an arguing fashion or something- to prevent this in the future.
What she said and did to Big Eazy aka Eric in Battle of the Seasons years before this was the beginning of her discriminatory meltdowns...glad she got kicked off!!
@MTV This was an Epic Fail on your part, producers and T.J.’s part. This is your leadership and you ALL FAILED!!! Leroy had to be his own advocate and stand alone on an island. You will never know how this trauma follows us thru out the years when we are violated this way. All u offered him was therapy? You guys are the ones that need therapy and insensitivity training. Shame on you for allowing Camilla to continue. If the show was on the other foot I’m certain you would’ve escorted him out the door and addressed it with the group!! This just shows where your “love” n “loyalty” is placed. Sure hope you made some changes so no one else, regardless of sex or race, will have to live with this trauma.
But he’s back on the Challenge and it’s 2024. Some of y’all black folks be so disingenuous calling each other out their names dropping the ‘n-word’ like it’s hot but when someone else who doesn’t look like you says it..y’all get ALL emotional. Stop the🧢
Man this is big for Lee to do this video. I remember watching this and being so mad. Imo Camilla owe him half of that money she won that year because he shld have gotten her kicked out. If I was there I would have had his back, 10 toes on business. But this is how MTV sets it up. They been doing this from the start and have the never to fake a$$ PSA at beginning of shows. She is lucky I am not a woman or else it would be “on sight” if I ever saw her in the street!!
Didn't he come back? And Camila was encouraged to do these rants where she said the most horrible things to people. Remember her treatment of Eric in Battle of the Seasons where she belittled him over his weight and red hair? Or when she took to mocking Amanda over her freckles and pale skin? So why was anyone surprised when she went after Leroy over his skin color? Production AND the cast encouraged this behavior. They gave her the "Camilanator" edit anytime she went on a drunken tirade.
Someone should have definitely done something, Nelson should have said something, and krazy thing is, camila won a lot of money that season. She should have never won. Dee got cut from the challenge and she didn’t say anything like camila, what camila said was waayyyyy worse.
Producers never said anything about how men berated women, or how the people on there would say disgusting things to other cast, outside of racial comments , so idk why anybody is surprised
Yeah a girl was r@ped/drugged in the house on Real World San Diego and production was uncooperative AF. And they were gross with the whole Kenny/ Evan/ Tonya assault. Johnny Bananas still is friends with them. Plus Bananas ripped off Janelle's top after her telling him to stop...no punishment. And he tried to get into the tub with her on the Challenge though she "no" repeatedly. Where was production to make those women safe? And Why are people still friends with Johnny?
Maybe at the time u didn’t feel like she was racist my guy. U were in the moment. And you knew her. Like u said, she been to the crib, yall hung out. Talked. U kind of have a gage, or had a gage for her personality. So, u can’t fault your younger self for any of your actions in that moment.
Exactly! Get mad over the word black but there you go there is the N word that black people use way too damn much. They say it's so offensive but they have no problem using it. That makes no sense to me at all!
Well Leroy is back in 2024 40th season lol. He’s not retired at all. Leroy even said in the season he last competed on that he wanted to start a family and take break from challenge. Leroy will be on season 40 we already see the clips before it airs in Aug2024
i understand what hes saying but as a fellow black american , you should've made your stand then and there. She ended up winning that season showing you where MTV and the production stood. Basically NO ONE stood up for you , even at the reunion it was just to save ass. You stayed and rubbed elbows with multiple of these people ( some who probably said worse about you than Camilla). If you're the 'nicest guy ever' where was the protection? You were ok with being the Token black guy , you were okay with being the " im not like other black people , im not the stereotype' until it bit you in the ass and they showed you what they really thought . Oh well you didnt walk that season you stayed .... now you're complaining? Money was worth more that your pride and justice? hmmmm nor did you walk with the Fried Chicken incident ....lets stop you were okay with the blatant racism until it didnt benefit you anymore...
I hear what you are saying, which is deep and profound. I mostly agree with you, but he probably had time to reflect by thinking it wasn't worth returning back to a racist production to loose his dignity. However, I see your point where he could have brokeb the color barriee (by saying racism wont be tolerated where there will be consequences for these unacceptable actions) by proving Camila wrong in finally winning the big one, no matter long it takes. God Bless.
MTV been on that BS from Real World to the Challenge regarding race. Leroy was the homie and I wished he could have won that one, but with that being said I wish he would have spoke on this so folks couldnt say it seems opportunistic but at least he owned up to what he could have did differently. I honestly stopped watching the challenge after that season because of that incident. They literally gave money to someone for being a bigot...I dont know how folks even rock with alot of these networks nowadays.
MTV stopped being Music Television ever since they included reality shows like “Are You the One”, “Ex on the Beach”, ”The Real World”, the first 2 shows I mentioned; 1 A. You don’t need to matchmaking experts to help build or make a relationship let alone give them a chance to win money B. “Ex on The Beach” was toxic from the start you got celebrities who are trying to start new relationships and then they decided to bring their exes?!?! Not only was that going to be bad but it was like the former MTV show “the X effect” but it emphasized closure more constantly 2 “The Real World” and “The Challenge” it was just horrible mostly because of the “Dirty 30” ever since Camila been on “The Challenge” she can be the victim all she wants but I know and I’m sure Everyone else never forget that She should have sent home and not only that but she won the challenge. WTF?!?! MTV hasn’t been able to help Leroy at all!!! I’m actually disgusted that she abused her privilege for being racist and won?!?! Wtf?!?! They didn’t do a damn thing seriously I would’ve sued them for negligence or something but Camila is a horrible human being that is A WASTE OF LIFE SHE IS DISGUSTING!!! and I don’t know why MTV has yet to do anything to change their methods Honestly MTV should looked at the footage and see for themselves why they failed MTV like Leroy said they dropped the ball and now it’s like they don’t care at all
Mtv loves the drama and will never cut cameras when its happening, i hope TJ gave production a scolding for not filling him in about what happened because leroy is one of his favorites
So I haven’t watched this season but I did just finish battle of the exs 2 Leroy was on that season and partnered with someone who was sent home Nia M. Hers was because of Jordan touching him inappropriately and his sexuality. It wasn’t till the next day Tj took her away to send her home. MTV never seems to handle things the right way
Just to play Devil's Advocate, maybe production thought it was an important thing to let play out as much as they could without intervention from them. Honestly it was an important moment in challenge history and in reality TV history. It was an important moment for people to see happen. Judging by how I see certain people express their views, a lot of people think that racism is over exaggerated. It's moments like this that show how racism can show its ugly face at any time
I actually thought in the moment you handled it very well. Reacting the way Im sure you felt would'nt have done any good. I think it was smart to stay calm
If we can just all raise our children with facts instead of beliefs and biases, character makes a person who they are not skin color, title, bank account, gender identity etc.
I watched that episode and I agree with you. MTV should be ashamed of themselves for not addressing it. Because of that I stopped watching the challenges
I just rewatched the episode and Camilla is just trash. And then the live she did after. Useless. But MTV doing nothing just proves that when the kicked Dee out a couple seasons ago was totally preformative .
how did you feel about the "race in america" thing they did after the show? where you sat on the couch with a Camila and they did a whole episode about it ?... did you feel like it was fake? just to cover themselves?
i'm very desapointed about why they don't send her home after this bad bahavior? and let her win? like Devin said they suppose to not let her win and don't never let her come back to the show?I think is good you classact bc sh's look so bad, and sh's have no shame to not send herself home after this awful and shame behavior?
Thank you Leroy For Speaking out Now I'm wating For Floribama Shore Candace to speak out Because I know she got Alot to say about MTV
Get over it already Leroy. You never won was never gonna win after 12 seasons. Your girl won and you didn't get a life and storyline somewhere else.

If Leroy would have touch Camilla for her big mouth, he would have been in jailed. She cursed at him and use racial slurs, she got rewarded for her inexcusable behavior. The double standard of unfairness is still real in society. God Bless.
That's what I said, if Leroy was female n hit her they'd be sent home yet her hateful words are worse n cause way more damage.
I am in tears!! He speaks so beautifully about this whole situation! It's so admirable! I completely agree with everything said here. That is completely unacceptable and needs to be spoken like this. I hope Leroy sees this message and knows he inspires me!!
I am very sorry that Camilla said and did those things to you, and I am very sorry that the producers did not protect you. May God continue to comfort and heal you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
It really felt like MTV wanted to just ignore what happened, I remember watching it and wondering if Leroy hadn’t interrupted the deliberation to address the incident if it even would have been shown on tv.
I feel you Leroy integrity and dignity over money 💰 I forgive myself for not standing up to ablatantly racist manager 5yrs ago. Hell it took David Bowie to say something in a public interview for MTV to start airing Michael Jackson’s videos and other black artists. Nothing has changed….
I’m so sorry this happened to you Lee and that no one stood up for you. No one should have to go through this.
It's crazy how TJ didnt talk about this, its actually really upsetting because he usually does..
Yeah it sucks production didnt mention it..
Yeah. The fact that TJ and the production team turned a blind eye, is upsetting.
@@SuperSonicWarrior93 If you knew what you were talking about, TJ did address racist intolerance during the episode.
Get your facts straight before you comment throwing TJ under the bus.
@@Dackery. And you should just shut the fuck up, and take your stank attitude somewhere else. I don’t take advice from losers like you, who don’t know how to correct anybody, without being a douchebag about it.
@@Dackery. Tj is that you?
@@Dackery. Tj didn’t say anything until Leroy. Spoke abt it. Tj walked in room “ ask camila what girl going up for elimination “ Leroy said before we start this camila I derseve apology & house does to
I am late to the challenge series, I only just recently binged watched them. It was disgusting how she was allowed to continue and go on to win. What was truly disgusting was that if you never raised it at the nominations, TJ wasn't going to address it.Wishing you and your family love and happiness.
She should’ve been banned when she attacked Luke let alone let her keep violently lashing out at people and getting some wins. It took her physically attacking female crew
MTV, definitely should have stepped up for you 100%. My husband & I quit watching the show….. that very season!
Someone needs to locate and name drop these producers we need a wall of shame for all or them. People never mention the higher ups directly the root of the problem
Thats what I be saying. When people know who they by their name with pictures then this bs will stop. Bet you
It’s so easy to say that if something racist happens to you, you’d respond aggressively. When that actually does happen to you, that shit hurts you to your core. It almost stuns you. I completely understand why he reacted the way he did, to have someone in your face spewing disgusting shit can stun you.
Exactly. It was really sad to watch, just the confusion of like wow she’s really saying this.
Yep. Been there. At work. Where “professional” behavior is required.
The thing I didn't like about this whole ordeal was that there were these undertones of "we should all handle these situations like Leroy did". Nah. We're not all the same.
Exactly.
He actually handled with maturity
Yeah & I'm black too me & my mom was mad when we saw that episode + cast members said she called Nelson the N word the same night.
I agree! He had every right to react in that moment, and should have been forgiven. He handled it amazing but I would not judge him for being emotional at all
Leroy should have sued MTV and the whole show.
The cast is foul for not boycotting filming until mtv got rid of her
It is unfortunate that my dude decided to retire. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors. She should have went to jail or been sued for emotional distress. She tried to embarrassed Leroy for being a strong Blackman. I used to love watching the MTV challenges, but I stop watching since 2011 because it was more drama and politics instead of playing the game. I hope Leroy changes his mind about returning, if he doesn't, I certainly don't blame him. By keeping Camilla MTV said they condone racism by agreeing She was right, which is why she stayed. Leroy, Im glad you didnt let Camilla still your joy because she was looking for you to do so. God Bless.
She should've been kicked off the show permanently even before this incident, but letting words of an ignorant belligerent drunk cause you to quit something you love and to let it weigh on you for years is too sensitive bro. She embarrassed to out of herself so many times I'd never let someone like that affect me in any capacity.
It isn’t about that, it’s about MTVs disgusting lack of morals
Jemmy was ahead of her time
I agree! Jemmye surprised me but she spoke the truth!
@@SophisticatedFlow
You everywhere blacks go they are not treated right especially the ones in China.
Leroy didn’t drop the ball, MTV dropped the ball. Over and over and over.
I empathize w him and his feeling disappointed in himself all these yrs later for doing his best at the time amongst a room full of white ppl where he likely felt pressured to “not make it a big deal” or come off intimidating by confronting Camila as Black men are told they are thru racist ideologies 🥺 I know what it’s like to kick yourself in the ass years later for not making a bigger deal out of an instance of racism and it being ultimately to the benefit of the racist and a system tolerating it. We as POC can feel pressured to be “graceful” etc while being degraded and traumatized amongst white people. I empathize w him for feeling like he dishonored himself years later after feeling more brave and confident I assume due to the protests and Blk power we’ve seen regarding these topics on the world stage post 2020. I myself have felt the same and I’m glad he’s felt the courage in speaking up for himself. He’s worth it. Everyone is. 👏🏽💛
I mean, my black friends have called me “white boy” in the heat of an argument and after they apologize and everything is cool. I can almost forgive that or at least if I’m a cast member I’m probably not doing more than telling her she’s wrong and to shut up.
But what she says after he pillow when she went outside and started talking about black people, that was way to far. Every white person on that show should have stood up and told producers they quit unless Camila is gone for good.
I’m willing to forgive heat of the moment anger, that’s me, I’m willing to do it. Nobody else has to feel that way. But the out right racism she spews outside is disgusting and she needed to be banned for good.
I also agree with Leroy that the white people more than anyone else, especially the ones who are friends with Leroy, needed to step up and have his back at that point. That’s the point when you stand up and make point and example that no one is gonna tolerate that kind of nonsense. I feel like in that moment, as a white person, I would need to plant my flag in the ground and make it very clear which side I am on.
I'm so sorry 😞 that happened to you Leroy 😢, I truly understand and I'm very upset about how this was handled 💔 God Bless You
Praying 🙏🏾 for All of Us,in this World 🌎
I just re-watched that scene and I actually cried
What did she say?
@@DjaBuSabi everything discussed in the video wym?
I was holding back tears so hard tbh
6:09 and she was in tears on IG after it was all said and done lmfao
It's weird Johnny didn't stick up for leroy strong that argument. I know she was drunk and people were scared of her or something but why didn't someone just pull her aside or lock her in the bathroom.
That really made me sad cuz Johnny is supposed to be Gus his dude
Bananas always liked the chaos , he wanted her to go even more nuclear and dish out more abuse towards his friend so he threw the pillow at her.
Y didn't one of the girls slap the shit out of her for Leroy, is my question.
That whole situation was upsetting. When even the fellow cast members feel that the person should be sent home for their behavior it really says a lot for the producers to sit by and do nothing. I agree with Leroy 1000% on how the producers sat by and allowed it. Camila is a good competitor but there’s plenty of people that would’ve taken her place and not been nearly as problematic. Every season she was on she had a blow up or meltdown over something small or game related. She literally went on a whole Rampage more than once just over being voted into elimination. & she did the same thing when her sister got voted in as well.
I think every black person can recall a moment when they felt alone like Leroy did when something of that magnitude happens and it gets ignored. I was just wishing that he had another black person there to understand what happened. MTV is not for black people and they made that clear from the beginning. MTV forces diversity right in front of the viewing audience by having just enough black people on every show. The sad part is that even white people who try to support you don't really lose sleep over racism. It will never be urgent to white people. White people applaud black people for "handling it well" ..who tf complements someone on how they mask their hurt.
And they called it "Rampage" but didn't send her home!? SMH, MTV that's just disrespectful af.
Exactly
Leroy why didn't you hit MTV with a lawsuit for unsafe and hostile work environment!
Just physically he is a racists worst fear a tall imposing black man. What was weird was the producer's didn't give the TJ Lavin a head up about what happened. It was like what happened only mattered to Leroy. Been a fan since the show came out.
Much bigger fan of Leroy then Camila, but this is cringe to watch now. I have been called a White POS plenty of times, and never once did it even bother me. Camila said plenty worse during her time on the Challenge. What a victim. I agree it was uncool and out of line, but the fact that he needs to speak on it seems like a reach.
Are you even for real? He deserves to be heard
I remember seeing that episode and was sure she was going to be sent home! It should have been just like with Nelson, you assault someone, and you are gone! MTV needs to reevaluate “their” attitudes on race!
I really like you Leroy. They did you dirty in season 30. I am cycling through these seasons and I just saw that episode. I am appalled at how you were treated. I know this video is years old now but thank you for speaking up for yourself in this video. Better later than never. I wish you only the best. ❤❤❤
Camila has had issues for many years. MTV kept her around for “entertainment value.” It’s disgusting!
Even before Kam & Leroy got together they were my faves from day 1. They have the most heart & loyalty to their friends. They've never once said some shit that exposes poor character. Not once. They're the King & Queen of the Challenge forever & ever just on character alone❤ Glad Leroy has stood up for himself & that MTV has since left Camila off the show, although it should have happened wayy sooner. Idk how she lives with herself fr
I was in that same boat with leroy. Im riding with you ✊🏿🤞🏿🙏🏿
That one unlike is from Camilla
He's right to be pissed at production. Camila is just a horrible little person who gets angry over shit she caused and will say whatever to piss off whoever she's directing her anger at. I can't stand her.
I fully agree with Lee n don’t doubt his feelings or the time he spent sour about it bc it was atrocious behavior by Camilla, the people around Lee that said nothing in his defense and MTV for keeping Camila around and not being there for Leroy BUT all I hear when Leroy speaks anymore is Kam. I’m glad he’s happy and she clearly loves him but don’t change Leroy please Kam. He’s not you.
They should be firing these people! There’s someone every season that have publicly made Racist remarks either before, during, or after The Challenge. They shouldn’t be on the show because Racism shouldn’t be excepted. Why would you think it okay to keep these people around? They don’t apologize till they are expose or till they could possibly lose something. If this was a Black person they would of thrown them out! These non Black people aren’t actually sorry for their crimes. Done with The Challenge.
I’m all for Leroy speaking on the issue etc Leroy even said live when It happened that he forgave Camila and knows that she not racist at all . Now Leroy calls Camilia out for what she done etc . Why not just say when it happened that she should be kicked off the show that should’ve been his main comment.
Okay
1. I am following this angelcake guy who does his homework, turns out this is not the first time that Camilla has done something racially insensitive, and the fact that she still stayed on the show thereafter to commit the second one with Leroy speaks volumes about MTV
2. The real reason why she stayed is because she is drama incarnate. As we've seen from the entire show in specific characters were virtually useless the drama started of the ones who stay because they start drama which sells.
Drama mamas- Camila Josh Amanda Shane, Ashley, kailah
Let's be honest the boring passive people don't stay very long -ninja, big t, Joss, arguably you
You lot don't go around act like an ass, so you're not as profitable
3. In that, you are not necessarily a stereotypical black man by standing up for yourself. the real reason she went after you is because you know you was going to do nothing to her, physically anyway- as a guy AND has a black guy. Everyone else in that room will she has a genuine issue with (bananas and Tony) she went after you. Not just because you're black but because you're you. Granted you let her hang yourself but as you can see it didn't mean anything in the end of the season -she won. So we have to start promoting that abuse racially or genderly is not okay and that it is okay to defend yourself -maybe not physically but damn sure in an arguing fashion or something- to prevent this in the future.
Doesn’t matter what she adds to the show, she should have been cut, NO EXCEPTIONS
What she said and did to Big Eazy aka Eric in Battle of the Seasons years before this was the beginning of her discriminatory meltdowns...glad she got kicked off!!
I love that you're speaking out on this
@MTV This was an Epic Fail on your part, producers and T.J.’s part. This is your leadership and you ALL FAILED!!! Leroy had to be his own advocate and stand alone on an island. You will never know how this trauma follows us thru out the years when we are violated this way. All u offered him was therapy? You guys are the ones that need therapy and insensitivity training. Shame on you for allowing Camilla to continue. If the show was on the other foot I’m certain you would’ve escorted him out the door and addressed it with the group!! This just shows where your “love” n “loyalty” is placed. Sure hope you made some changes so no one else, regardless of sex or race, will have to live with this trauma.
Why is it always something racist with these MTV Shows 😑.
Bc they're always employing racists, why else?
But he’s back on the Challenge and it’s 2024. Some of y’all black folks be so disingenuous calling each other out their names dropping the ‘n-word’ like it’s hot but when someone else who doesn’t look like you says it..y’all get ALL emotional. Stop the🧢
I forgot to say,Thanks for sharing your story @Leroy
Man this is big for Lee to do this video. I remember watching this and being so mad. Imo Camilla owe him half of that money she won that year because he shld have gotten her kicked out. If I was there I would have had his back, 10 toes on business. But this is how MTV sets it up. They been doing this from the start and have the never to fake a$$ PSA at beginning of shows. She is lucky I am not a woman or else it would be “on sight” if I ever saw her in the street!!
They both have done the shows since but I do agree it’s always been some difference with production and how they handled different people.
Didn't he come back?
And Camila was encouraged to do these rants where she said the most horrible things to people.
Remember her treatment of Eric in Battle of the Seasons where she belittled him over his weight and red hair?
Or when she took to mocking Amanda over her freckles and pale skin?
So why was anyone surprised when she went after Leroy over his skin color?
Production AND the cast encouraged this behavior. They gave her the "Camilanator" edit anytime she went on a drunken tirade.
I’ve been a leroy fan since rw: Vegas. I hate that he had to go through this :(
Yeah me too + I'm black me & my mom was pissed off when we watched that episode.
Someone should have definitely done something, Nelson should have said something, and krazy thing is, camila won a lot of money that season. She should have never won. Dee got cut from the challenge and she didn’t say anything like camila, what camila said was waayyyyy worse.
Producers never said anything about how men berated women, or how the people on there would say disgusting things to other cast, outside of racial comments , so idk why anybody is surprised
Yeah a girl was r@ped/drugged in the house on Real World San Diego and production was uncooperative AF. And they were gross with the whole Kenny/ Evan/ Tonya assault. Johnny Bananas still is friends with them. Plus Bananas ripped off Janelle's top after her telling him to stop...no punishment. And he tried to get into the tub with her on the Challenge though she "no" repeatedly. Where was production to make those women safe? And Why are people still friends with Johnny?
Maybe at the time u didn’t feel like she was racist my guy. U were in the moment. And you knew her. Like u said, she been to the crib, yall hung out. Talked. U kind of have a gage, or had a gage for her personality. So, u can’t fault your younger self for any of your actions in that moment.
I love you, Leroy, you definitely represented for the niggas on the challenge ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why you gotta use that word
Exactly! Get mad over the word black but there you go there is the N word that black people use way too damn much. They say it's so offensive but they have no problem using it. That makes no sense to me at all!
Why you need to use that word. Would you like it if a Chinese person uses that word at you in China?
Just saw this. Camila should have been canned years before she was finally. Sorry you had to deal with this bro.
Well Leroy is back in 2024 40th season lol. He’s not retired at all. Leroy even said in the season he last competed on that he wanted to start a family and take break from challenge. Leroy will be on season 40 we already see the clips before it airs in Aug2024
i understand what hes saying but as a fellow black american , you should've made your stand then and there. She ended up winning that season showing you where MTV and the production stood. Basically NO ONE stood up for you , even at the reunion it was just to save ass. You stayed and rubbed elbows with multiple of these people ( some who probably said worse about you than Camilla). If you're the 'nicest guy ever' where was the protection? You were ok with being the Token black guy , you were okay with being the " im not like other black people , im not the stereotype' until it bit you in the ass and they showed you what they really thought . Oh well you didnt walk that season you stayed .... now you're complaining? Money was worth more that your pride and justice? hmmmm nor did you walk with the Fried Chicken incident ....lets stop you were okay with the blatant racism until it didnt benefit you anymore...
I hear what you are saying, which is deep and profound. I mostly agree with you, but he probably had time to reflect by thinking it wasn't worth returning back to a racist production to loose his dignity. However, I see your point where he could have brokeb the color barriee (by saying racism wont be tolerated where there will be consequences for these unacceptable actions) by proving Camila wrong in finally winning the big one, no matter long it takes. God Bless.
MTV been on that BS from Real World to the Challenge regarding race. Leroy was the homie and I wished he could have won that one, but with that being said I wish he would have spoke on this so folks couldnt say it seems opportunistic but at least he owned up to what he could have did differently. I honestly stopped watching the challenge after that season because of that incident. They literally gave money to someone for being a bigot...I dont know how folks even rock with alot of these networks nowadays.
MTV stopped being Music Television ever since they included reality shows like “Are You the One”, “Ex on the Beach”, ”The Real World”, the first 2 shows I mentioned;
1 A. You don’t need to matchmaking experts to help build or make a relationship let alone give them a chance to win money
B. “Ex on The Beach” was toxic from the start you got celebrities who are trying to start new relationships and then they decided to bring their exes?!?! Not only was that going to be bad but it was like the former MTV show “the X effect” but it emphasized closure more constantly
2 “The Real World” and “The Challenge” it was just horrible mostly because of the “Dirty 30” ever since Camila been on “The Challenge” she can be the victim all she wants but I know and I’m sure Everyone else never forget that She should have sent home and not only that but she won the challenge.
WTF?!?! MTV hasn’t been able to help Leroy at all!!! I’m actually disgusted that she abused her privilege for being racist and won?!?! Wtf?!?! They didn’t do a damn thing seriously I would’ve sued them for negligence or something but Camila is a horrible human being that is A WASTE OF LIFE SHE IS DISGUSTING!!! and I don’t know why MTV has yet to do anything to change their methods
Honestly MTV should looked at the footage and see for themselves why they failed MTV
like Leroy said they dropped the ball and now it’s like they don’t care at all
Mtv loves the drama and will never cut cameras when its happening, i hope TJ gave production a scolding for not filling him in about what happened because leroy is one of his favorites
Leroy is on the upcoming season of the Challenge, so that didn't last long. Lol
It all stars not the flagship one it has different production mark long the challenger is involve in all stars
So I haven’t watched this season but I did just finish battle of the exs 2 Leroy was on that season and partnered with someone who was sent home Nia M. Hers was because of Jordan touching him inappropriately and his sexuality. It wasn’t till the next day Tj took her away to send her home. MTV never seems to handle things the right way
Love you Leroy!!!
Just to play Devil's Advocate, maybe production thought it was an important thing to let play out as much as they could without intervention from them. Honestly it was an important moment in challenge history and in reality TV history. It was an important moment for people to see happen. Judging by how I see certain people express their views, a lot of people think that racism is over exaggerated. It's moments like this that show how racism can show its ugly face at any time
I remember hearing this before and that’s why she been banned ever since
MTV has always tolerated and perpetuated racism. It’s ok homophobia is not. That’s their stance 💯.
I actually thought in the moment you handled it very well. Reacting the way Im sure you felt would'nt have done any good. I think it was smart to stay calm
Everybody forgot the blackface 🤔
15:02 jemmye shoutout
Bro really smh. I'm glad he speaking out tho💯
"Dirty 30" made me HATE Camila even more, after she racially attacked you.
If we can just all raise our children with facts instead of beliefs and biases, character makes a person who they are not skin color, title, bank account, gender identity etc.
You are a beast you don't need a win to be a champion lee
I watched that episode and I agree with you. MTV should be ashamed of themselves for not addressing it. Because of that I stopped watching the challenges
I still don’t understand how they kept Camila after that but they fired Dee. In my opinion it should be the other way around.
No dee still had to go dee was fired because of the time It was when she made the tweets
Racist being in quotes ridiculous. She literally attached him for being a black man.
N she won that season n that’s wasn’t her first time being racist on the challenge
Camila is from South America, she is Latino I think. She is not White!
Ok…. Why does that matter. She still is considered a white woman
She is also Japanese
Yes she is…. She’s Brazilian. Brazilians can be white, you know
#TeamLeroy #Detroit
I just rewatched the episode and Camilla is just trash. And then the live she did after. Useless. But MTV doing nothing just proves that when the kicked Dee out a couple seasons ago was totally preformative .
THANK YOU LEROY
Yet she still pop up on shows including the challenge! See how dee got kicked off but not camill tf
how did you feel about the "race in america" thing they did after the show? where you sat on the couch with a Camila and they did a whole episode about it ?... did you feel like it was fake? just to cover themselves?
Wtf Camilla couldn’t even speak English she needs to rlly check that
i'm very desapointed about why they don't send her home after this bad bahavior? and let her win? like Devin said they suppose to not let her win and don't never let her come back to the show?I think is good you classact bc sh's look so bad, and sh's have no shame to not send herself home after this awful and shame behavior?
Did they stop following you only after you retired?
I will never watch this show again bro just finding out about this. So wrong plus she won?
