[@meganedwards1039]

I think I know what a couple have been up to since retirement Jacie Scott is/was a Rockette, Kali was a Mavs cheerleader, and Brooke became either director or choreographer of the Dolphins for a few seasons. I dont know if she still is or not. But other then those 3 I'm not sure what they're up to.

Yes! Videos of Kelly's Power and Projection please!

[@melissaking8971]

Hopefully they are making some money because the DCC certainly isn't paying their cheerleaders a livable wage!

I doubt that there is a lot of video footage of Kelli, Judy and Kitty; especially of their try outs.

That video would be a couple days long😂

[@mudbloodandproud1996]

I think they get to keep 1 boot as a keepsake.

[@Chimoritaaa]

[@beckytaylor2991]

You'd think for all their hard work with shit wages, they'd get to keep their whole uniform--boots, uni, and poms!!! Why would they need a uni back when it was specifically custom made for their bodies? Why would they wants shoes back? Why would they want practice attire back? Just gross and stupid.

[@eleo_b]

Just to avoid those uniform circulating without them being aware. To me, it’s expected with a low-paying job, you have to hand in your McDonald’s uniform when you leave the company as well.

[@sophiagrace735]

It's mad how much these girls put into dcc even before they make the squad yet get paid so little. They deserve more respect and be treated like the athletes they are

[@UncoordinatedPixie]

They know what they get paid going into it. You don't do this for the money. You do it for the prestige and the doors it opens up for you. What I find puzzling are the ones who quit 6 figure jobs to make < $9 an hour but whatever. Their life, not mine.

[@psymompa]

@@UncoordinatedPixie Which DCC quit a six figure salary for this? They technically need to have a job or be a student. These ladies definitely need to be paid more.

[@UncoordinatedPixie]

@@psymompa One of them in a past season had a job at Lockheed Martin in DC and quit to come to Texas. Malena was also some bigwig at a college in TX and while she may not have been making 6 figures, she was a recruiter and def made more than $8 an hour.

[@mirandalamora474]

[@smoothiegreenburg6065]

Wow she is very thin not that its a bad thing to be thin but it does make no sense she was tasked with helping one of the other girls to lose weight. I know they were mad about not texting her back but she hasnt struggled with weight and even as someone who lost 70lbs I wouldnt have wanted someone a size 0 their whole life giving advice when they have never been in my shoes

[@dominiqueoutler444]

smoothie greenburg that made me so upset, because out of all of the girls why was she(a perfect lean size 0) assigned to help Victoria with weight loss.

[@djk5v]

I think Victoria in order to appreciate the gift horse given probably should have used Jinelle and talked to others who have previously been on weight watch/ weight warning.

[@victoriaharb3269]

When my sister was on active duty, she was routinely between a size 6 to 8 and was in extremely good shape but she was a self-admitted junk food junkie. As one of the few NCO female in her unit, they asked her to mentor a few females on healthy living through good eating choices. She had to explain that she was not someone that could offer solid advice as she carried around a book bag of candy. So I agree with you that someone losing weight is not wanting advice or opinions of someone who has never had a problem with weight.

[@notthedot7303]

She was picked as an example of someone who eats very clean to help Victoria, who wanted nothing to do with her. I felt bad for Jinelle when Vic bit her head off in that office visit. Rudeness was totally uncalled for.

[@smoothiegreenburg6065]

@@notthedot7303 I dont think she bit her head of at all she was crying and very upset to be in the office. she clearly explained to Jinelle and Judy and Kelli that she didnt relate to Jinelle bc she was always thin and never had an issue. idk losing weight is very hard as Im sure any lady who isnt built like Jinelle can attest to. Losing weight isnt so much about what you are eating if you never address the issues that made you gain weight to begin with. We all have different habits and it could be you eat well but eat before bed or something like that. I personally would eat when im bored or just wanted some comfort in a bowl of ice cream but I never really thought I ate a lot it was just bad habits of eating at the wrong times like before bed. again idk its all relative to whom you are to be able to lose weight but for me and my friends we dont ask thin girls for weight loss tips we ask formally curvy girls what they did to stop loving food basically lol. ANd soemone who never had to lose weight doesnt exactly seem to fit the task of helping someone lose weight if they never gained to begin with
