Where is KayDianna from Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders now, after she was suspended from the team?
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 organisation," 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!

"Make It A Habit With Zero Exceptions From Day One": 23 Parents Are Revealing The Little-Known Safety Tips They're Teaching Their Kids
Parenting has NEVER been easy, but with every generation, keeping kids safe seems to become more difficult, especially as technology continues to rapidly evolve. Oftentimes, though, when parents come up with safety "hacks" that work for their families, they (thankfully) share them with others... That's why when TikTok user @paigecatherinejoh said, "Tell me something you teach your kids to help keep them safe. I'm not talking about 'Don't talk to strangers.' Give me some good stuff..." Thousands of parents flooded the comments with the unique, and in some cases, "controversial" ways they keep their kids safe. From secret codes to situational awareness — here are 23 of their most helpful responses: If you have any creative or little-known methods of keeping kids safe, feel free to tell us using this anonymous form! 1."My phone number is the password to my kids' tablet. That way they have it memorized, and know to look for a mom with kids or an employee at a front desk if they need to use it." —stinie17 2."I've taught my kids that in an emergency situation, 'Don't tell the cops anything but tell the paramedics everything.'" —tracimcree 3."In our home, our kids can't go swimming unless mom or dad gives them a high five first. That way, we always know when they are going in the water." —paigemiksys 4."My kids and I have a code for when they're invited somewhere, but don't want to go. It's 'Did you clean the bathroom?' If they answer 'Yes,' it means they want to go, and 'No' means they don't." "If they answer 'No,' I step in and be the 'bad guy' who won't let them do whatever it is they don't actually want to do." —dennisdamenace2.0 5."We save family members in our phone under the names our kids call them instead of what we call them. So, for example, if something happens, they can grab our phones and say, 'Hey Siri, call Nana.'" —lemonsandlacellc 6."Sometimes I pretend to forget how to get home from my job or from their school and ask them to direct me home. That way, I know they could find their house if needed." "They are never alone and know their address, but my 'mom brain' always thinks about the worst case scenario." —bp115 7."Our rule is 'Touch the car.' As SOON as kids can walk, teach them that they must touch/hold a specific spot on the car when you're loading and unloading. Our spot was the fuel tank door." "Make it a habit with zero exceptions from day one. Parking lots are a maze of drivers who can't see little kids in front of or behind them." —raising2wildthings 8."Get inserts for your kids' shoes that hide AirTags. Kidnappers will always change their clothes, but they almost never change their shoes." "Don't tell your kids about it, though, because they can't tell what they don't know." —katysaidso 9."Instead of just telling my kid, 'Don't talk to strangers,' I quiz her with 'if' situations, such as 'If an adult asks you to help them find their dog, what would you do?'" "That way, I can gauge her answer and tell her exactly what to do in specific situations." — 10."No secrets. We've taught our kids that if an adult ever asks them to keep a secret, they come straight to Mama or Dada. It might ruin the occasional surprise or game from a well-intentioned friend or family member, but it keeps them safe from the terrible things most likely to be done by someone you know and trust." "Tell your kids that there is no reason an adult should ever ask them to keep a secret, ESPECIALLY if they aren't supposed to tell their parents." —benyo525 11."I've always told my kids that a grown-up isn't going to ask a child for help. If anything, they'd ask a child to get another grown-up." —annavi73 12."I told my toddler if she ever finds a pill on the ground, she can give it to mommy or daddy and get whatever candy she wants in return!" —wardgrace 13."I have taught my kids it's okay to talk back (respectfully)! Especially when it comes to family members who think it's fine to be disrespectful to kids because they think they should just take it." "My rule is, 'If you give respect, you get respect.' I don't care about your age." —bakerterri 14."Instead of saying 'Stay where I can see you,' I tell my kids, 'Stay where you can see me.' If they can see me, I can see them." "I feel like little kids don't always know where/when the adult can or can't see them but they always know if they can or can't see the adult." —julescanterbury 15."Teaching your daughters, 'Oh he's teasing you because he likes you' is BS! If a boy likes you, he'll treat you with respect. If he's mean to you, he's just a mean boy!" — 16."We quiz each other on what everyone is wearing and how to describe who is with us, so 'Mom has glasses, blue shorts, and a Minnie Mouse shirt,' 'Baby sister is wearing a pink dress and pink shoes,' etc. This way, if anyone is lost, we all know how to find them." —tempestinacupoftea 17."I taught my kids this rhyme: 'This is my body, this is my face, these are my boundaries, this is my space. If you want to hold my hand, you have to ask me first. If you want to give me a hug, you have to ask me first, and when it's my turn, I'll ask you too because you respect me and I respect you.'" —kaya_ashlyn 18."Not me, but my mom told me about the boys she liked when she was young, the good partners she had, AND the bad ones." "I feel like I've never made the same relationship mistakes as my mother because she told me about them, so I didn't have to live through them." —chewiechewbarka 19."Call me paranoid, but I have a binder that contains my kid's birth certificate, social security card, a copy of their passport, their most recent school photo, several strands of hair from their brush with the root attached, a few baby teeth, their last dental x-ray, a set of their fingerprints, and photos of their birth marks as well as their locations." "It might be overkill, but I'd rather have too much info rather than not enough." —katysaidso 20."A police officer once told me that if I take my kids out in public with their school uniforms still on, I should cover the school's emblem, and if they're wearing a school jacket, turn it inside out. Strangers don't need to know where your kids go to school." —emmaliz121521 21."Take a picture of your child before entering any kind of crowded place or event — amusement park, aquarium, fair, etc. God forbid they go missing, but if they do, you have an up-to-date picture to show the authorities, including the exact clothes they were wearing when they disappeared." —unapologetically_kc_ 22."I've taught my kids not to worry about strange people as much as strange behavior. The people most likely to hurt your babies aren't going to be strangers." —ashleylefty 23."I'm teaching my kids to cuss if someone tries to kidnap them! My kids are not normally allowed to cuss, but if someone tries to take them/grab them, they are supposed to scream and cuss at the top of their lungs." "When a kid just says 'No' or 'Let go', etc., in public, people might think they're just throwing a tantrum with parents, but if they are screaming, 'I don't know you, get your f*cking hands off me,' etc., heads will turn!" —sissydenise94 Did any of these kids' safety tips surprise you? What are some creative ways you've kept your children safe? Tell us in the comments or answer anonymously using the form below! Note: Some responses have been edited for length and/or clarity.

Addison Rae hails 'divine' Lana Del Rey after Wembley show
Addison Rae thinks Lana Del Rey is a "divine woman". The 24-year-old star recently joined Lana, 40, on stage at Wembley Stadium in London, and Addison subsequently took to social media to reflect on the experience of performing with one of her musical heroes, describing herself as the "happiest and luckiest girl on earth". Addison - who first found fame on TikTok, before switching her focus towards music - wrote on Instagram: "I will never forget this. Thank you so much to the most beautiful divine woman, heart, soul, mind…, Lana. I am the happiest and luckiest girl on earth. Being next to you is spiritual. (sic)" The Diet Pepsi hitmaker has enjoyed huge success over the last year, which included releasing her debut studio album in June and announcing plans for a world tour. However, Addison previously insisted that she doesn't have any regrets about her career journey. The pop star always dreamed of becoming a success in the music business, but Addison recognises that TikTok has played an important role in her success. She told ELLE: "All of that led me to where I am right now. "What's funny to me is that people assume that these passions are new. First of all, no one ever even knew who I was before I was a freshman in college, so it's like, 'How would you even know what my interests were before?' I grew up dancing; I've always loved to sing. "I acknowledge how lucky I am that I was on TikTok, and people cared enough to watch my videos and follow me, and therefore gave me the freedom to be able to explore my deep desires that I've always had. It's like, 'What am I going to do? Not chase my dreams because I feel like I haven't done enough school to get here? Or I haven't had enough experience?' It's like, 'No, the door opened for me, and I'm going to go through and explore it.'"
