Overview
- Screenshots first shared on Instagram by the All About TRH Podcast allege texts between Kristi McBee and Steven McBee Jr. that describe Allie Eklund’s manager initially asking for $5–7K and then $7–10K per episode.
- The leaked messages say Allie’s team threatened to walk if the higher rate was not met and that Steven used his leverage to push producers to agree to a larger payment.
- Kacie Adkison wrote on Instagram that Steven and Allie’s manager fought for the contract and that Steven threatened to quit the show if her pay demands were not met.
- The texts also claim a McBee family member offered to reduce their own pay to cover Allie’s rate, and social posts and cast replies have amplified the dispute on Instagram and TikTok.
- Season three of The McBee Dynasty premiered in June and the story raises questions about on‑set negotiations, unpaid confirmations from Bravo, and whether production or casting choices could shift as a result.
