What's Going on With Laurel and Nicole From MTV's 'The Challenge'? A Look at Their Feud

Reality stars Laurel Stucky and Nicole Zanatta were once seemingly madly in love, but now, they appear to truly hate one another.

What happened to the stars of the MTV show The Challenge to turn them against one another following their relationship?

Well, the whole nasty feud is playing out over social media, much to the delight of fans, with Laurel accusing Nicole of cheating on her during their relationship, and Nicole accusing Laurel of a whole host of unsavory things. Read on for the details.

The drama all started years ago, but is rearing its ugly head once again.

In March 2024, Nicole shared an Instagram post with her new girlfriend, which she captioned, "This is what a healthy relationship looks like."

Laurel snapped in a now deleted comment, “Hope you’re not secretly cheating on her too.”

But Nicole wasn't having it, responding with some jaw-droppers. "Thank you, she doesn’t have a tendency to get UNHINGED, or a THIEF (a person who steals another person’s property, especially by stealth and without using force or violence) then proceeds to play phone tag and I was never the type to kiss and tell but you like comparing notes with an ex-fiancé and how old are you?"

The infighting went back and forth for a while, per The Ashley Reality Roundup.

Laurel elaborated at one point about Ride or Die alum Jakk Maddox, "I’m sorry I walked away with your cellphone in my pocket after I found out you were hooking up with Jakk’s sister at Jakk’s wedding trip in Italy that I brought you to after you had sat me down and asked me to be exclusive. You haven’t changed, you never will and you deserve everything that comes your way as a result.”

It turns out that the cheating that allegedly went down, well, went down in a big way, with an X user @GamerVev saying it was Jakk's married sister with whom Nicole was unfaithful.

The indiscretion may have ended two relationships, according to the user.

Following her post about "what a healthy relationship looks like," Nicole wasn't even done. She posted more pictures of herself with her new girlfriend, along with the telling caption: "Unbothered."

As many fans saw it, she is throwing her new relationship in her ex's face during their All Stars season.

"That awkward moment when Laurel says your name on TV and then you make a post about it," one commenter sniped. "Unbothered but bothered enough to make a post about it," someone else laughed.

Given all of the tension, it's imperative to tune into The Challenge: All Stars Season 4 because both women will appear. Can they make up and put the past behind them? Or will the ugliness continue? We'll be watching to see both who wins the prize money — and whether these feuding exes let their personal problems interfere with their game play.
