Kacie Adkison is speaking out about Allie Eklund‘s salary demands for the third season of The McBee Dynasty following a series of leaked texts, allegedly between Kristi McBee and Steven McBee Jr.
In comments shared on Instagram, Kacie, 28, revealed that Steven, 32, threatened to quit the Bravo reality show if Allie, 29, didn’t get the amount she wanted to film, denied being “jealous” of the amount Allie was paid, and called her out for “liking” shady messages on social media.
“Interesting. I have no idea how much she was making but I do remember she wouldn’t fly out to Kansas City to visit him/film until her contract was signed. Steven and her manager had to fight for her to get paid whatever she (or her manager) was asking for. Steven was threatening to quit the show if they did not meet that number for her. All of this was before they had even had their first kiss,” Kacie wrote in her first of three messages on a July 7 post from the All About TRH Podcast on Instagram.
Then, after a fan pointed out that Allie was “essentially agreeing with every comment calling you girls dumb for not getting more [money],” describing her behavior as “insane,” Kacie seemed to agree.
“I also saw comments calling us bitter and jealous about our pay but I haven’t said a single word so I have absolutely no idea why I am being dragged into it,” she replied, adding, “Good for her for having a man fight so hard to get her paid and contract signed after they had only went on one date prior.”
Another fan asked Kacie why she was putting all of the drama on Allie, reminding her that Steven had “begged” Allie to fly to Kansas City to film and live with him.
“The text between Kristi and Steven show that they wanted her on the show…. You’re saying Kristi was going to cut her own pay for a girl she hadn’t even met???? They said the show would be 100X better with her on it…. But they never kissed or met any of y’all yet? That makes no sense,” they wrote.
But in response, Kacie denied that she had ever “once put any of this on [Allie].”
“Steven and her manager both fought FOR HER to get paid whatever she ended up making. My issue is that negative comments have been being liked about me being bitter and jealous I didn’t fight for more money when 1. I didn’t release those text messages and saw them for the first time yesterday when they were posted and 2. read them and continued on with my day and didn’t say a single word because that’s done and over with,” she explained. “I’m confused on why comments are being liked about me when I have stayed completely out of all the drama going on.”
“I also said good for her for getting a man she barely knew to fight for her. He quite literally was going to quit the show if she didn’t make what was requested,” she added.
The McBee Dynasty season three airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo.
