Drama Explained"},"content":{"rendered":"<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"0\" class=\"css-i9p093 emevuu60\">Netflix just dropped season 2 of America&#8217;s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, and there was some pretty major drama. The season kicked off with DCC veteran Chandi being made a team leader, which put a lot of pressure on her\u2014especially as she was dealing with a toxic ex. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"1\" class=\"css-i9p093 emevuu60\">But things came to a head during a team trip to the Bahamas, where Chandi broke a &#8220;rule&#8221; off-camera that made her fellow dancers feel unsafe and resulted in her taking a &#8220;leave of absence.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"america's sweethearts: dallas cowboys cheerleaders, season 2. chandi in america's sweethearts: dallas cowboys cheerleaders, season 2 cr. courtesy of netflix \u00a9 2025\" title=\"america's sweethearts: dallas cowboys cheerleaders, season 2. chandi in america's sweethearts: dallas cowboys cheerleaders, season 2 cr. courtesy of netflix \u00a9 2025\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/america-s-sweethearts-dallas-cowboys-cheerleaders-n-s2-e5-00-48-15-12-6852af55c11d9.jpg\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Netflix<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-i9p093 emevuu60\">While everyone was pretty cryptic about the whole thing, Chandi opened up about the situation on camera\u2014explaining that she met someone on the trip and allowed him to come back to a shared hotel room. This made Chandi&#8217;s teammates feel unsafe, and also goes against the DCC&#8217;s guidelines about giving out personal information regarding the team&#8217;s whereabouts while traveling. As team leader Jada put it, &#8220;a lot of people were just worried for their safety because they didn&#8217;t know who this individual was.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-i9p093 emevuu60\">Chandi explained that she was going through a hard time personally due to a breakup (plus the pressure of being team leader), and met someone she could confide in. &#8220;I broke a DCC rule and had time with my friend,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;And it was the first time I feel like I mental dumped everything, and everything that was happening, and everything I&#8217;ve gone through, and everything that was making me feel and think certain things. It helped me in the moment. And I get it, it was probably the wrong place and time to do that. But selfishly, I had to do it for me. Because I feel like I was just, I was losing it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-i9p093 emevuu60\">She added of rumors that they slept together, &#8220;No, everyone will think it happened, but I&#8217;m respectful of everything.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-i9p093 emevuu60\">Chandi ended up re-joining the team after time away, and seemed a lot happier once she was back without the pressure of leading. That said, fellow team member KayDianna left after being suspended for talking about the situation on TikTok live. Meanwhile, Chandi retired at the end of the season and told cameras &#8220;DCC has taught me a lot about myself and about life, and I&#8217;m ready to move on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Related Story<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Netflix just dropped season 2 of America&#8217;s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, and there was some pretty major drama.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":139620,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2066],"tags":[32643,32645,230,229,257,2461,7322,7,7321,6,32644],"class_list":{"0":"post-139619","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas-cowboys","8":"tag-content-type-news","9":"tag-contentid-6a2b5d3a-a87f-4547-9dc8-7a79485cbc5e","10":"tag-cowboys","11":"tag-dallas","12":"tag-dallas-cowboys","13":"tag-dallascowboys","14":"tag-displaytype-standard-article","15":"tag-football","16":"tag-locale-us","17":"tag-nfl","18":"tag-shorttitle-chandi-explains-broken-rule-in-dcc-season-2"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114704438307912700","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139619"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139619\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/139620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
