Season 2 of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders had some unexpected drama thanks to a group trip to the Bahamas that ended in "scandal."
Basically, Chandi invited a stranger back to her shared hotel room, which made everyone else feel unsafe and resulted in her taking a leave of absence from the team—and stepping down from her leadership position.
Chandi made it clear that she was dealing with a ton of pressure (not to mention a toxic ex) and wasn't getting the emotional support she needed, but she ended up returning to DCC on a positive note before retiring at the end of the season.

Fellow DCC veteran Jada McLean spoke to People about the situation, saying "There are things that go on in any workplace. Situations come up, and I think the biggest thing is how you handle it. I think we did our best as a team to handle it professionally while still being supportive of her."
"We're not going to turn our back on her," she added. "We're teammates and we're sisters at the end of the day. As a team, I think we just kind of rallied together and kept to the job and did our best to keep things moving, because at the end of the day, we still had a job to get done and that was our goal."
Meanwhile Armani Latimer said that the team is there to have each other's backs no matter what. "We see each other every single day pretty much. So there's kind of not going to be a day where if someone comes in and they seem a little off, we're not going to notice," she said. "And we'll pull them aside and have a chat with them and say, 'Hey, what's going on today? Anything you need to talk about?' So I think we're pretty good at doing that."
