The Challenge: Spies, Lies and Allies host TJ Lavin said in Wednesday's episode: “As you’ve seen, Ashley is no longer at headquarters.

"Ashley has broken one of our rules. Because of that, Ashley is no longer able to stay in the game.

"She has been deactivated. She is no longer able to continue in this game for the rest of the season.”

MTV had no further comment about the exit so it is still not clear which rule or rules she broke.

FIGHT WITH JOSH?

Fans flooded Twitter with speculation, with some alleging that Ashley had a "fight" with fellow contestant Josh Martinez which led to her departure.

Users claimed she "used inappropriate language" during an alleged row with Josh that went against show guidelines.

One fan asked, "Did Joshua get another person out for arguing?" while a second commented, "They had that fight! That's why she's not there anymore!"

A third viewer suggested it would've been better if Ashley were given a warning over her alleged behavior and "not kicked off."

Ashley didn't disclose why she left - but she did admit she's now taking "anger management classes" and vowed to "change" her "behavior."

ASHLEY'S APOLOGY

The Real World alum tweeted: "I just want to thank everyone who has stuck with me throughout this all.

"Everyone knows I'm only mad at myself and it has been so hard to shake off the depression and anxiety since getting home.

"I have been taking anger management and reflecting a lot. I love you yall so much. Rules are rules and I respect @mtv and TJs call."

She signed off: "The best apology is changed behavior. See you next time."

Ashley has competed on nine seasons of The Challenge, winning Invasion Of The Champions in 2017 and Final Reckoning in 2018.

Several contestants have been cut from The Challenge over the past few seasons.

Last year, Dee Nguyen was edited out of The Challenge: Total Madness after making racially insensitive comments on Twitter amid the Black Lives Matter movement.
