What Happened to KayDianna from DCC? What She's Up to Now

What Happened to KayDianna from DCC? What She's Up to Now

Cosmopolitan20-06-2025
It's that time of the year again. Specifically, the time of the year that you force all your friends to learn the entire "Thunderstruck" routine. In other words, season two of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders just dropped and it's somehow even more dramatic than last season? Mostly because of the team's trip to the Bahamas, which will go down in INFAMY (in my mind).
Quick recap: Chandi broke one of the DCC's many, many rules and invited a random man into her shared hotel room—which understandably made her teammates feel unsafe. Chandi ended up taking a leave of absence, and KayDianna stepped up as First Leader. But things took a turn when KayDianna went on TikTok and referenced Chandi and the trip. To be fair, she didn't mention Chandi by name, but was still accused of "being a bully and harassing" and was suspended from the team.
KayDianna ended up quitting DCC, and told Netflix producers, "I definitely didn't feel supported, I felt like I was just a body. It was as if Chandi got the perks of being a first leader and I got the responsibility part of it. When all this went down I was confused, my teammates were confused, we just didn't know what was gonna happen."
So, what's KayDianna up to post DCC? First of all...
"After prayerful consideration, I have made the decision to step away from my role with the Dallas Cowboys organization," she said. "While this was not the ending I had envisioned, it is one I felt led to make for myself, in full faith and peace. I'm deeply grateful for four unforgettable seasons—filled with growth, meaningful friendships, and memories that will stay with me forever. Though this door has closed, I trust fully in god's plan and the new doors he is preparing to open. I do not view this as a setback, but as a divine setup for what's next. He is not finished with me yet, and I am stepping forward with expectation and joy for all he has in store. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey—I look forward to sharing the next one with you."
In multiple TikToks, no less!
While it doesn't seem like many current DCCs publicly interact with KayDianna on her social, Reece went ahead and commented "Crying all over again😭" on her TikTok about leaving. Oh, and KayDianna posted this chat with Reece just a few weeks ago:
Now that she's not on DCC, KayDianna has been working on her podcast, as well as teaching dance classes, and working as a competition judge.
She's also happily married and just took a cute trip with her husband to France:
In other words, she's booked and busy!

Netflix adding NASA+ to streaming service this summer. How to watch

Ready to see a meteor shower in your living room? NASA has announced that its streaming service, NASA+, is coming to Netflix this summer. According to the news release, NASA is bringing the excitement of the agency's discoveries, inventions and space exploration to people, wherever they are. Astronomy enthusiasts and households across the world will have another option to stream rocket launches, astronaut spacewalks, mission coverage and breathtaking live views of Earth from the International Space Station, said NASA. "The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 calls on us to share our story of space exploration with the broadest possible audience," said Rebecca Sirmons, general manager of NASA+. The partnership will allow increased viewership and engagement with global audiences of more than 700 million people, the release stated. "Together, we're committed to a Golden Age of Innovation and Exploration – inspiring new generations – right from the comfort of their couch or in the palm of their hand from their phone," said Sirmons. NASA+ is available through the NASA app and on the agency's website for free. According to Netflix, subscribers find NASA+ live feeds in the Netflix interface alongside your favorite series later this summer. Detailed schedules will drop closer to launch day, so check back to Tudum for more details in the coming weeks. Audiences will see rocket launches, mission coverage and real-time ISS vistas — all streaming in HD glory. NASA+ remains free on the NASA app and Netflix is simply another (very handy) window into the great beyond says Netflix.

Mom Picks Up 12-Hour Shift on Father's Day, Leaving Dad with Kids After He Went Golfing on Mother's Day (Exclusive)

Michelle Rossi picked up a shift on Father's Day and documented her husband spending time with the kids on TikTok Rossi shares that her husband went golfing on Mother's Day, so she had to do something in return for Father's Day The video went viral, amassing 7.7 million viewsA mom got back at her husband on Father's Day after he left her alone with their kids on Mother's Day. A few years ago, Michelle Rossi's husband mistakenly made a tee time to golf with his friends on a sunny day in May, not knowing it was Mother's Day. In retaliation, she picked up a 12-hour nursing shift when Father's Day came around that June. Rossi documented her husband's reaction to spending the day with their kids on TikTok, sharing a FaceTime call of her at work while her family sat at home. "My husband said it's all about spending time with the kids on Mother's Day. So I picked up a 12-hour shift on Father's Day so he can spend time with them alone," she captioned the clip. Rossi, 34, exclusively tells PEOPLE that she "remembers the kids were crazy that day - they were only 2, 1, and 6 months old at the time. He was with them for 12 hours solo on Father's Day." When Rossi first posted the video, which garnered 7.7 million views, she says her husband laughed. "It's been a joke between us now," she shares. "I didn't think I'd get this big of a reaction." "The responses I received online were incredible. There were so many angry dads, but so many women praising me," she adds. "It was genuinely amusing to read the comments. I love the empowerment in the comment section." However, she hopes people "realize it wasn't necessarily meant to degrade [her] husband, even though it does seem like it.""Social media is not what it's all made out to be," she adds. "I love to post for fun and love to be relatable." Rossi emphasizes that it's an old video that she posts every year. Since the incident, things have improved, and "there has been no bad Mother's Days." "Usually, I wake up to my kids and him bringing me coffee and cards. Then we usually go out to breakfast," she shares. "This year, I got a massage. Most of the years were spent with our kids and families. Working in healthcare is hard because I'm not always off on holidays." This past Father's Day, they spent time at a water park with the kids and went out to breakfast.

While Rossi and her husband have since figured out the best way to spend the holidays, the video serves as a reminder that relationships and parenting are a two-way street. "It makes us moms realize we can give them the same treatment they treat us [with] on Mother's Day since it's after," Rossi adds. Read the original article on People

Fun fact: Amazon has an "Internet Famous" section curated with TikTok-viral products. Here are a few of the current ones so beloved by reviewers that they are *definitely* worth the hype: A holy grail 5-in-1 Edgelift Curl Brush to define curls, waves, and coils, help prevent frizz, and create precise parts and sections.

Dr. Melaxin "Peel Shot," a K-beauty staple for serious exfoliation that buffs out dead skin and leaves your complexion looking glowy and refreshed.

E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake.

Yankee Candle's Midsummer's Night, or what I like to call a "goth summer candle," as a perfectly moody way to usher in the warmer weather if you're not a big fan of sweetness and floral. Reviewers compare this alluring blend of musk, patchouli, sage, and mahogany to a soft cologne. Monday Haircare Dry Shampoo with all the oil-absorbing, refreshing power of its competitors, *plus* added keratin for protection against frizz and breakage.

The skin tone-matching, pH-adaptive pink version is every bit as buildable, polished, and decadent feeling as the original black honey, and perfect for everyday makeup looks. Color Wow Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer, a foam your can apply to your roots when you're styling to take your blowout to the next level, even when the humidity is doing its best to keep your locks down. Reviewers with fine hair especially swear by this for an immediate, long-lasting lift! Jergens Natural Glow Firming Self-Tanner Body Lotion to give you a gradually building, vacation-worthy ~sunkissed glow~ over the course of just a few days. Not only is this easy peasy to apply compared to other finickier, streaking lotions, but it's formulated with collagen and elastin to help your skin appear firmer *and* glowier. A reviewer-beloved basic crewneck tee that plays nice with ALL your jeans and skirts, since it's just the right amount of compressive and easily slides under waistbands. Also, at that price point, and in THIS MANY colors??? Seems like it's Restock Your Wardrobe O'Clock. A wildly popular hummingbird projection lantern to make your porch or backyard feel like you're stepping out of the real world and into a whimsical fairy tale.

Vitamin C Face Serum that packs a powerful punch — reviewers swear by this for reducing dark spots, brightening skin, restoring tone, and giving skin a more radiant, firm look. This particular serum's secret is the 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, which helps boost ~radiance~, in addition to the hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and vitamin E to help with hydration. A cult-favorite Flairisol Olivia, a continuous oil sprayer with built-in portion control that has won the allegiance of reviewers from professional chefs to at-home bakers. The ultra-fine spray makes it ridiculously easy to work with, especially for people tracking nutrition stats for their own sake or for a restaurant's — each spray is equivalent to one gram of oil for easy measuring. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops, another home run from the brand's moisturizing "Holy Hydration" line that reviewers are comparing to the $35 Watermelon Dew Drops from Glow Recipe. This lightweight formula is designed to brighten and plump skin for a dewy effect, whether you're wearing it alone, applying it under your makeup, or mixing it with your foundation.
