Throughout many seasons of “The Challenge,” viewers saw Cara Maria Sorbello and Laurel Stucky clash more than a few times. Per MTV, in “The Challenge: Cutthroat,” Sorbello was on the receiving end of what Stucky believed was tough love wherein she repeatedly questioned her co-star’s ability to win a final. She felt slighted after being thrown into elimination before Sorbello.
In another memorable scene, Stucky harshly criticized her frenemy and called her a JV player not worthy of being on her team. Afterward, the two were paired up together on the following season, “The Challenge: Rivals.” This time around, they worked well together and placed second in the final, winning $50,000. Many thought it was the beginning of a long-lasting friendship but it would soon hit a rough patch.
During “The Challenge: Free Agents”, Sorbello ended their friendship on camera after feeling that Stucky was harsh and overly critical of her. Stucky struggled to apologize but did admit to being heartbroken by the breakup. “Cara Maria and I are very similar people. Over the years her and I have become sisters, and this is probably what it feels like to be sisters,” she said, choking back tears during her confessional. Per Monsters & Critics, in May 2022, Stucky revealed in an Instagram Story video that while she has no friendship with Sorbello, she has no beef with her either.
