Allie Eklund revealed that Steven McBee Jr. issued her a warning after she requested they slow things down amid their past romance.
As she also confirmed that she was “more than a little” scared of Steven, 33, due to his anger issues, the 29-year-old star of The McBee Dynasty reflected on her and Steven’s since-ended romance, which came to an abrupt end in April when he publicly accused her of cheating on him at the Stagecoach music festival, which she denied.
“This guy could teach a master class in manipulation, and some of you people are falling for it,” Jessie Nails declared of Steven in an August 18 video shared on Instagram, which got the attention of Allie.
As Jessie spoke of the finale episode of season three, during which Steven told Allie he was moving to Texas, leaving her “shocked, surprised, [and] nervous,” Jessie praised Allie as “transparent and honest.”
“She’s being careful, which, in most cases in life, would be applauded,” she noted.
Meanwhile, after telling Steven that she has plans to live with her sister, Allie was seemingly dealt an ultimatum by her then-boyfriend, which left her feeling duped.
Jessie went on to call out Steven’s “love [bombing]” and temper.
“This isn’t just her suddenly not liking Steven. She was also warned by pretty much everybody in his family that he has a temper and he’s scary,” she recalled.
According to Jessie, Steven “emotionally abuses women,” is “emotionally stunted,” has “anger issues,” says “really nasty things” to his girlfriend, “and manipulates his family.”

After Jessie’s video was shared, Allie responded to her claims about her ex.
“Not to mention when I asked him off camera to slow things down he said, and I quote, fine but ‘I’m not going to be as nice to you anymore, like I’m definitely not going to talk to anymore past 9pm when you get chatty,'” she shared.
Then, after a commenter suspected that Allie also “saw how mad he gets and it scared her a little,” Allie confirmed she was “more than a little” afraid of his behavior.
Around the same time, as he appeared on the August 24 episode of the Roxanne and Shantel Podcast, Steven admitted, “I have anger issues.”
“I’d be the first to admit that. And I’m working. It was not something that I was unaware of at the time of the Stagecoach incident. I’d been in therapy. I still am in therapy. I still am working on myself. So I understand that I have some flaws that I absolutely need to work on,” he confessed.
No word yet on a fourth season of The McBee Dynasty.
