The pair are facing backlash for their reaction to Jerry’s arrest

is wholly different to the first. What was once an endearing insight into the under-estimated world of competitive cheerleading – and the harrowing lives of those drawn to it – has since become a reality show all about scandal, rivalry and the downfalls of global fame. Don’t get me wrong, it’s as compelling as it always was, it’s just a lot… messier.

‘I don’t agree with what he was accused of or condone it at all, it’s very unfortunate and it breaks my heart,’ she continued. ‘But it’s literally like your family, how are you just going to hate your family? So I feel like people expect me to hate him and never speak to him again but the thing is I can’t. I cannot and I won’t, I can’t turn my back on him because he was there for me when I needed him.

‘It was hard to read,’ she says. ‘I can’t even process it right now because my head is battling the “He did wrong” versus this person I know. I can’t wrap my head around what I need to even think or how to feel, which is why I haven’t written him back because I don’t know what I would say. I want to be supportive, yet I’m so disappointed.

What’s triggering about Gabi and Monica’s words is that they sits beside a very common reaction from friends of those accused of abusers: unconditional support and in turn, attempts to invalidate accusers. Part of the story of Cheer is reconciling with the fact that the lovable underdog of season one could disappoint viewers so much.
