America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders has been captivating fans by showcasing the grueling journey to becoming a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. One scene in particular divided viewers on how the women support each other through their actions, beyond just their words.
In the America’s Sweethearts episode, Victoria Kalina and her mom, Tina Kalina, hosted a well-decorated birthday get-together at their Dallas home. However, other members of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC) did not show up for the party, leaving her to celebrate with her mother alone and making viewers curious if they intentionally ignored the invite.
“We had an appearance that morning and that’s when [Netflix] had asked, ‘Hey, can we come film? Can we come celebrate with you?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah,’” Victoria, 24, recalled during the Monday, July 8, episode of the Be There in Five podcast. “I word-of-mouth and vocalized, ‘Hey, Netflix is coming. There’s gonna be cake [and] the more the merrier.’ But, I guess it just didn’t trickle along.”
