Warning: This article contains spoilers for part 2 of The Challenge: Battle for a New Champion reunion.

All throughout The Challenge: Battle for a New Champion, fans have known about multiple cheating scandals — Callum had a girlfriend back home, but kept it a secret and started a fling with Michele, and Emanuel cheated on his girlfriend with multiple women in the house. But it turns out there was one more man who cheated this season... except he refuses to admit it, even after his fellow cast members confirmed it happened.

During part 2 of the season 39 reunion, Melissa reveals that she saw Olivia and Jay kissing on the bus after a night out at the bar. Nurys, Big T, and several other cast members confirm that Olivia and Jay were kissing and "canoodling" all night. But Jay keeps denying it, and over on the champion couch, Laurel and Cara Maria say it's because Jay had a girlfriend back home and doesn't want to confirm anything that makes him look bad.

When Jay continues to deny it, Big T calls him out for lying because she says she saw him and Olivia making out. Olivia calls it an "unfortunate situation" — she didn't want to say anything about it because she wanted to protect Jay — but "multiple people saw it with their own eyes." Jay still refuses to own up to it, but then finally says he was so drunk that night that he only remembers Asaf putting him to bed. He ends the conversation with, "I'll deal with it. My personal life is my personal life, thank you." Olivia once again confirms it's true, exposing Jay's lie.

Here are 19 other shocking moments from part 2 of the season 39 reunion.
