george santos shared his brutally honest opinion about LeSean McCoy‘s shocking decision to leave Special Forces because he didn’t want to poop in public.
“There were 15 princesses there. We were all princesses and we all used it. But LeSean was by far the biggest princess of them all,” Santos, 38, said, claiming McCoy, 38, couldn’t handle the pressure or the porcelain. “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the greatest queen of them all? It’s you, LeSean.”
Santos, who left later on Thursday, October 1, following a medical issue, recalled an unaired conversation between himself and McCoy.
“I begged him. I was an official [but] not at the scene. I begged him and when people said, ‘LeSean is about to surrender,’ I chased him. I said ‘No!’ “I like to storm out of there with boots untied and limping in pain,” she told Us. “I’m like, ‘LeSean, what are you doing? ‘We’ve only just begun.’ He said, ‘No, I don’t want to be a soldier anymore.’ ‘I won’t use the outside toilet.’ You can’t get any more princess than this. “This is so crazy.”
On Thursday’s episode of the popular Fox series, McCoy wanted to leave after realizing he would have to poop outside. This sparked backlash from trainer Jovon “Q” Quarles, who felt McCoy wasn’t trying hard enough.
Santos did not agree with this opinion.
“I’ll say this very clearly. I feel like I gave it my all. I feel like Ruby.” [Rose] He gave it all to her. Hell, Brandy [Glanville] the scary face fell into the water and he swam anyway and got up,” she noted. “LeSean is a physically gifted man who is a former super athlete. He could do better. “I think it’s pretty disappointing.”
He continued: “It hurts her in the future because who’s going to want to sign her again? But that’s her decision and her agent’s decision. But I think it looked bad for her. Look, Ruby withdrew due to her medical condition. I dropped out because of her medical condition. Poor Brandy couldn’t continue with her boob under her armpit. And then there’s LeSean here, who in his own words is the greatest football player of all time. But he can’t poop outdoors. Stall around, come on, grow up.”
Santos was proud of how hard he pushed himself, even though he was two days behind.
“I wanted to stay as long as possible. I told my team: ‘If my body lets me go, you can’t break me mentally, man. I’ve been in solitary confinement for 41 days, so there’s nothing worse on Earth than this,'” said Santos, who was convicted of fraud and identity theft in 2025. “Mentally, I can do anything. The challenge is always my body and my physical ability to do it. So I was so upset. I was so angry and emotionally charged. It’s like when I walked off the set and I officially debuted there was a part of me that was just in my head saying, ‘I need to get back there. I think I made a mistake.’
While viewers found LeSean McCoy’s exit from Special Forces entertaining, some Management Team were not happy with the NFL player’s sudden departure. Trainer Jovon “Q” Quarles said McCoy’s decision to leave caused him to lose “a lot of respect” for the athlete. “It pissed me off straight up,” Quarles admitted. “For you to come […]
Santos was struggling with chronic nerve pain in his back and added: “I thought I would get through the pain, but I couldn’t stand on my leg. ‘Wow, how come you have the presence of mind and the will to keep going?’ I said. I told myself: I don’t care if I amputate a limb until someone leaves. “I’m not giving up.”
Since then Special Forces Returning to Fox, Santos said he was pleased with how his time on the show was received. We“It’s very humbling. I’m used to very different reactions. So it’s so humbling for people to see me and have that reaction. It’s healing in a way because all I ever wanted was to be seen outside of the headlines. At least people get to see who I am in a slightly organic way — not in a controlled studio where I show up for an interview and people laugh and then walk away.”
He concluded: “This is emotional for me because I’ve been through a tough time the last few years. These are the consequences of my own actions, but it’s so heartening for me to see that I’ve been able to overcome it, fight through it, and continue to fight to at least gain some ground, and I’m forever grateful to the audience, Special Forces, and beyond for the love, support, and memes. How amazing and how honored to be a living meme at this point.”
Special Forces: The World’s Toughest Challenge Season 5 will air Thursdays at 9pm ET on Fox.
