Anna Leigh Wilson<\/strong><\/a> is addressing her “controversial” flirting with Leo Dionicio<\/strong><\/a> on The Challenge<\/strong><\/a><\/em> season 42.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old was eliminated from The Challenge: Cutthroat <\/em>on Wednesday’s (October 6) episode, and spoke out about the flirting with her co-star in a new interview. <\/p>\n

During a post-elimination interview with Page Six<\/a><\/em>, Anna Leigh<\/strong> owned up to what she did and revealed she told her husband about it as soon as she could. <\/p>\n

\u201cI did something pretty controversial on national television,\u201d\u00a0she told the publication. <\/p>\n

“I made a mistake,\u201d Anna Leigh<\/strong> added. \u201cAlso, I\u2019ve recognized that accountability doesn\u2019t mean that I have to plead guilty to the director\u2019s cut that everybody else wrote for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier in the season, Anna Leigh<\/strong> and Leo<\/strong> had an intimate conversation, admitting they were both horny, with him telling her she was his “eye candy,” and that he was “trying to f***ing control” himself.<\/p>\n

After the scene went viral, Anna Leigh<\/strong> took to her Instagram to admit she “crossed the line” and said she apologized to her husband after getting home from filming. <\/p>\n

While speaking to Page Six<\/em>, the reality star said she told her husband what had happened “the moment I got my phone.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was no surprise there,\u201d she shared of it airing. \u201cFrom my perspective, I\u2019ll own every embarrassing thing that I actually did this season. And trust me, there\u2019s enough material there to go around.\u201d<\/p>\n

“But I don\u2019t need everybody adding in bonus scenes,” Anna Leigh<\/strong> added. “That\u2019s what\u2019s making my life so much harder, and honestly that\u2019s what they did when we were on the show filming. It\u2019s just non-stop putting out fires and trying to defend myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
