VK was basically being used for storylines, just thrown out after Kelli gave her a verbal bashing and no longer has any use for her 

I can’t imagine this sentiment is true (I know you were just the FB messenger here). Season 13, Victoria was kept around way too long - yes, I think for the tv show episodes. They knew they would have to cut her for reasons, but she was so good with the sound bites and tv show fodder they kept her. Season 14 though, after auditions, she wasn’t shown that much, and then by Season 15 she was just a backdrop like all the other vets not getting cut.

Kelli is way too close with this family to just throw her out over storylines. Likely what May have happened is they warned her a cut was likely (for reasons) and allowed her to exit off camera. Is there bad blood there now? Likely! But if anything she got more grace and consideration than other cut veterans were - Tara, Keyra, Mandy - all used in some way for the camera even though the impending cut was coming.

"Sisterhood", my ass.

No arguments here.  We've seen Kelli's downhill slide from where she was in the 2-hour special and first few seasons to someone who was more concerned with her own  fame, getting her face on television, and ratings then the health and well-being of the girls she's supposed to be leading and guiding.

I wonder if part of VK's desire to be a DCC came from her mom, so she was ok having a short tenure. It seemed that way with Dayton. I feel like she only did it because she thought that's what her mom wanted. 

I truly believe the other 3 legacies actually wanted to be a DCC.

Wow, is all I can say about the alleged VK retirement. Not to mention the support she's receiving considering not many comments during her time as a DCC were positive. 

Go do big things VK!

I think it's more about the way we've been hearing Victoria's cut/retirement came about then anything else.  I wouldn't be surprised if Kelli wanted to milk Victoria's cut for the show and, by Victoria retiring, deprived Kelli of the cut.  Regardless, I didn't like Kelli for her bias towards Victoria and I didn't like Victoria for her immaturity and other issues, some of which may have already been fixed and others that . . . may not have been.

I can’t pretend to be her biggest supporter but I also won’t kick her while she’s down. it’s Kelli’s fault so many don’t like her but she played the game along with Kelli. She moved to a new sisterhood those who were cut/forced to retire bc they no longer serve a purpose. There are many lovely ladies in that sisterhood some of who she may have wronged, Tara...

Timeline is important. When was the show group show in which she was shown to look slightly above last years weight? I still contend that the lighting was bad but admit it was possibly not up to the Kelli standards? Then, she didn't perform at the next show group performance. When was that?

VK posted 5 weeks ago about going into A++ mode to get ready for auditions. So she was still going for it.

Don't you think Kelli must have warned her somewhere between the two performances?

I could see Kelli saying - listen Victoria - we can't do this again. The pubic is watching. You don't want to be crucified on the show again. 

And for all the "hate" on her I also blame Kelli and the show. I think that's been said many times since her first audition. It wasn't Victoria that people hated. It was the sales pitch - the "Victoria is the best thing ever to happen to DCC" angle.  I think most people agreed that she earned her spot the second time around. She was a strong DCC. But she was being sold as God's gift to NFL cheerleading. That's what people hated.

If I remember correctly, I believe Tina pretty much ended the friendship after Victoria was cut from her first TC.

I feel like they saw her audition video before most of the others wondering if she’d lost the weight they probably warned her about, and when she turned out to be too “soft”, they made the decision to let her know that she wouldn’t be making the team this year and did it before decisions went out that way she could “choose” to “retire” and save face. Either way, I feel bad, it’s hard being dcc thin especially if your mom had the same issue as well.

It is my understanding, from a pretty reliable source, that Victoria has taken a leave of absence and plans to return next season.  She will be making an announcement about this soon.

Injury perhaps?

April 19: Victoria posts "auditions coming up =  A++ self mode on"

Around April 19 (date of youtube) : Show group performance with Victoria

April 29: Draft Day. Victoria did not perform

May 10: Manhattan leaks the 8 retirees

May 24: DCC posts 8 retirees on social media

May 24: lemonbus leaks "another surprise"

May 27: "soon"

May 28: "Victoria is retiring" 

May 28: Training camp candidates begin posting their invitations

It really sucks that Kelli capitalizes off of the dreams that these women have. I would be shocked if Kelli really cut Victoria since of her relationship with Tina and whatnot. But I also believe that Kelli is all about business first and foremost... just look at her 300$ cameo 🙂.

And as far as the weight warning goes- Yes, I believe Victoria knows better since she grew up around the DCC.. but I also know it can be difficult to maintain that weight from your first of making it to TC. I truly do not understand how that is maintainable especially from growing up from teen years to becoming a young adult.

Either way it goes, I am sad to see her go but hope she can move past all of this & go after something bigger!

Well Victoria is family. I honestly think building another storyline around her weight would be too much at this point. She might of given her the same offer she did with Hannah and Brennan. They didn't take it ...

I hope she does come back if all of this is even true. I’m neutral towards VK but I could tell she was never gonna be done after just two years especially after a covid year. I think 18/19 is too soon for anyone. Not everyone will be Lacey or Kinzie. VK/Marissa/Gina Marie should’ve waited. I think she’d make a great fit on UTAustin Pom team the one that rookie Jessica came from. Age 18 now isn’t what it was back in 2007. People grow up slower

Do you know if she offered Hannah and Brennan a year off because they spoke up about covid or before that? If it’s because they spoke up about it, then they should’ve taken that offer. The fact that they even pushed through with DCC or the NFL at all this year was irresponsible.

My issues with VK have been far more about how she was treated & not held to the same standards as others. That’s more on TPTB than VK herself. E really don’t know much about her other than that she was overenthusiastic during her first training camp. Being allowed to gain weight, Fall out of turns, & most of the other stuff that set people off about her we’re probably not her decisions.  I guess that’s why I feel a bit sorry for her.

There’s probably a big part of Kelly that feels let down and disappointed, too. If anyone knew the rules of the game coming in, it was VK. She pushed the boundaries her first year, which isn’t a big shock from a relatively sheltered/immature TCC. But Kelly has to also do her job, and the fibs and the weight gain were too much to push through. 

So K is relieved as can be for year two, because VK has matured a bit, looks fantastic, has put in the work. K over-corrected by putting VK on show group, sure, but questionable peeps make SG all the time (tho not usually as rookies.) But anyway, phew! Weight off her shoulders. 
 

Year two goes the same, way bigger issues to deal with considering Covid and quarantines, VK stays off the radar. Mean girl rumors, sure, and all cuts came from VK’s team, but that’s all speculation and not talked about on the show. 
 

Okay, now heading into year three! And record scratch. Weight warnings prob happened the second half of year two, maybe the leadership qualities desired aren’t coming through, who knows behind the scenes? It’s been quiet. But if it’s weight gain, back to the TCC year frustrations. Because VK KNOWS better. Her mom experienced it and was cut for it, plus VK went through the drama of training camp that first year, and still can’t figure it out. But hey, being 20 and 21 isn’t cut and dry, and most will make some dumb mistakes and rebound later. 
 

If indeed the weight is gained or yo-yo-ing  and/or VK is partying or caught up with her BF or whatever it is (ie normal things for plenty of peeps her age,) it’s impacting her job. And once again K is stuck in a bad position. A celebrated retirement raises too many questions, so a quiet break behind the scenes was probably encouraged. VK is a popular cheerleader, so I don’t know if it’ll blow over like things with Mandy, for example, but they could.

Am I missing something? When did TPTB use VK for a storyline? If anything I feel they tried to shield her as best they could? VK wasn’t even featured on the show at last years “bubble” of a training camp. 

I’m gonna guess the reason VK is stepping away for a year is maybe because she is pregnant and maybe that is reason for the weight gain? Although you would think if VK is pregnant that she would need to take more than a year off to get back to audition/DCC shape depending on when she would be due.  I don’t know, I feel like it’s not even that...just regular weight gain that forced her to have to retire or take a leave of absence for a year. I think TPTB won’t show this on the show or even mention it because they didn’t want VK to be embarrassed and trying to save face for her. Just my two cents!

Ok my prediction is VK just does not have the body build and chemistry to maintain DCC standards. She has a great body but gains in her waist which is unforgiving with the uniform and expectation of rock hard abs. Some people no matter what they do will not be able to shape their body to certain ways and she is one.

I also predict she’s done her 2 years so watch her “step down a year” and come back as an All Star, which would be better for her anyway.

but yall as much hell as has been given to every breath VK takes, much of it deserved, LMAO if she becomes a beloved martyr now that she’s been allegedly cut/allowed to leave/whatever.

From my understanding you have to be on the team for at least 3 years to be an All-Star.

If weight/drama related, I assume we see an official announcement about working on herself mentally and physically for a year. I can respect that effort if that's the case.

How in the world does she still have the chance to (re)join the team? 

I mean Kelli has said that to many TCC and DCC as she cuts them (Kaitlin LeGrand).

Do you think she told Victoria to take the year to refocus, take more power dance classes, and re-audition next year?
