A former contestant on Big Brother and The Challenge: USA clapped back at a troll who tried to shame her for returning to her Hooters job.

The former reality star, who competed on Season 23 and Season 1, respectively, of the CBS shows worked as a server at Hooters and apparently, some people believe you can’t go back.

“A certain person from #bb23 is back working at Hooters,” someone tweeted her, adding in a rude second tweet, “Hint: this person has a BIG ass head.”

Lopez, who has even been pictured on a Hooters billboard and on taxis in 2018, doesn’t mind returning to her former workplace — and expressed as much to the hater.

“I’m confused why you think I should be embarrassed by this?” the 26-year-old replied. “To be able to pay my rent from 2 shifts at Hooters is amazing!”

She explained: “So many reality TV stars have actual jobs. We are normal human beings. I’m just real enough to show it. Come in my next shift I’II buy you a shot.”

Donny Thompson from Season 16 of Big Brother chimed in, “I hope no one tells that lady that the old guy from BB16 had to unclog a toilet today at work. #MaintenanceMan.”

Lopez admitted she “did not expect my to blow up like it did,” and thanked everyone for their kinds words of support – before she doubled down on her original tweet with an emoji of a bag of money.

“NO SHAME IN GETTING YOUR BAG.”

Hooters responded, “You do you queen” and followed that up with, “Tweet of the year award goes to…”

Lopez came in seventh place on her season of Big Brother, which aired in 2021.

The Challenge: USA aired earlier this year.
