Ashley Mitchell is leaning into her upcoming role on Season 3 of House of Villains by stirring up drama and spilling some alleged tea about her Challenge co-star and “f**king enemy,” Aneesa Ferreira.
Following the recent announcement of the ‘House of Villains’ Season 3 lineup, the ‘Challenge’ champ took to social media to reveal some of the conversations that were happening behind-the-scenes on the latest season of ‘The Challenge,’ including a premature announcement made by Aneesa regarding the upcoming season of ‘House of Villains.’
While Ashley didn’t call out Aneesa by name in the video, she made it abundantly clear that she was talking about the ‘Challenge’ vet, particularly when she referred to the person as someone whom she had been at odds with on The Challenge: Vets & New Threats.
“ … do you guys want to know something really, really, really, really funny?” Ashley asked fans. “The real tea, the real drama that no one knows– well, besides, like, probably Nany [Gonzalez]? The whole [‘Vets & New Threats’] season, there was someone on the show that was basically my f**king enemy and she was bragging about, ‘Oh, yeah, like, I might be on ‘House of Villains,’ they called me.’”
(As The Ashley told you earlier this week, while ‘Challenge’ vet Johnny Bananas is among the former ‘House of Villains’ stars who will be making an appearance on the upcoming season, Ashley is the only ‘Challenge’ star competing on Season 3.)
Ashley said this week that when she heard Aneesa making comments about competing on ‘House of Villains,’ she already knew that “tons” of people from ‘The Challenge’ were being contacted about possibly joining the Season 3 cast. In fact, she claimed that she had already been contacted about competing on the show herself.
Despite having already spoken to someone from ‘House of Villains’ casting at the time, Ashley said she chose not to say anything to Aneesa, even when Aneesa was allegedly “getting private time” in order to make phone calls to discuss her potential spot on ‘House of Villains.’
“ … which is crazy,” Ashley said of Aneesa getting extra phone time. “I would never be able to have that ability from the [‘Challenge’] producers, like, some people just get so many different abilities, it’s so crazy.
“So, she’s– the whole time– calling [people] and I’m not talking about it with anyone,” she continued. “I didn’t share it with anyone in the f**king [‘Challenge’] house that I had this call, not even my best friends.”
Ashley then accused her ‘Challenge’ co-star of not even being a good fit for ‘House of Villains,’ insisting that Aneesa is “not a villain.”
“ … I’m thinking, are they gonna f**king change [from casting] me or my best friend Amanda [Garcia], who are literally called the Satan Sisters, to a girl who cries when I say she might not win ‘The Challenge?’” Ashley said. “That’s not a villain. That’s not a villain.”
While Ashley admitted that she was worried for a moment that her spot on ‘House of Villains’ would ultimately be given to Aneesa, she said she ended up receiving a call from the show on the same day that she was eliminated from Season 41 of ‘The Challenge.’
She then pointed out that Aneesa went on to be eliminated from the show the following week.
On Thursday, Aneesa hopped into the comments on @thechallengeshaderoom’s clip of Ashley’s video, seemingly downplaying what had occurred.
“Why is this lady still talking about me,” Aneesa wrote. “I didn’t even know why I would be a villain because I’m clearly not. Anywho– the world is a dumpster fire and needs more of my attention than this.”
Season 3 of ‘House of Villains’ premieres February 26 on Peacock.
