I realize this post refers to comments made way back in 2019 of this "Where are they Now" topic, but I just happened to hear this the other day when watching season 10, episode 4 on Pluto. Prior to group leader announcements, Kelli does a side interview where she states: "We have four Captains who act as group leaders."
So, Jene was indeed a Captain, but not THE Captain, and she appears to have embellished her history by saying for three years when she was a GL for only 2 seasons, unless they also regard 2nd group leaders as Captains as well, but that seems unlikely.
In any regard, I enjoyed Jene as a dancer and respect her efforts and commitment to be able to qualify for the team for 6 years. I understand there were other issues during that time that have caused lesser opinions of her, but I can only imagine how temptations, attentions and celebrity can send young people to making some poor decisions, many of which they might regret as they learn more about life and maturity. I wish her well in finding a life of fulfillment.
