Victoria Kalina, a former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader featured in the Netflix show “America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders,” claimed she invited her squad to her birthday party, but they did not attend, which she discussed on the “Be There in Five” podcast. Her teammates, however, denied snubbing her, stating they would have attended if they had been properly informed, expressing their support and detailing efforts to celebrate her in other ways.
The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders refuted claims of snubbing Victoria Kalina’s birthday, emphasizing their tradition of supporting each other, despite Kalina feeling isolated and her former teammates expressing their willingness to have celebrated with her if they had been aware.
Oh, the drama of birthdays and cheerleaders, right? So, there was this buzz about Victoria Kalina’s birthday. You know, from America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders on Netflix. Victoria turned 24 and had this little shindig at her place. She and her mom, Tina, went all out with decorations and TikToks. Sounds fun, huh?
But here’s the kicker: none of her fellow DCCs showed up. Nada. Zip. Victoria was like, “I told everyone, but it just didn’t happen.” She felt kinda brushed off, you know? Apparently, there’s usually this one girl who organizes things, but this time, communication just flew over everyone’s heads.
Meanwhile, on the “Be There in Five” podcast, Victoria spilled the tea. She was all, “Netflix and cake, everyone’s invited!” But, the message got lost somewhere. And watching the show later, she realized how isolated she felt. It wasn’t just in her head.
Now, flip the script. Her DCC mates were like, “Wait, what? We didn’t know!” Jessica Bowman even dropped a TikTok comment saying she’d have loved to be there. Prayers and support, all that jazz. McKenzie, Kelcey, Darian, and Zhenya all chimed in too. “We always show up for each other,” they said. Hmm.
Kelcey even mentioned they did the whole locker decoration thing for Victoria. Classic DCC tradition, right? They were like, “Wish we knew, we totally would’ve been there.”
Sidebar: did you know Sarah Shahi was a DCC before hitting it big in Hollywood? Yeah, found that in a related article. Wild, right?
Back to Victoria. She’s moved on, big city dreams and all. Headed to NYC to become a Radio City Rocketette. That’s quite the leap from cheerleading in Dallas. She’s still tight with a couple of alums, though. Katherine “Kat” Puryear and Caroline Sundvold, to be exact.
So, what’s the takeaway? Well, Victoria’s story had its ups and downs. Miscommunications, feelings of isolation, but also new beginnings. And through it all, the story of a cheerleader navigating life’s twists and turns continues to unfold. Oh, and America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders? Still streaming on Netflix if you’re curious.
