I’ve been debating whether or not I want to speak on Jerry and I’m choosing to do so. It BAFFLES me how many of my friends vouched for his early release and the selfishness disgusts me. Don’t look my way let alone speak to me. You don’t give a damn ab the safety of children🖕🏽
You’re all entitled to your opinions but so am I. This man kept his promise to me the day I came to the Valley. He told me he’ll get me that ring and if it had to be done through tough love, so be it. He helped us athletes create a legacy and gave us a home away from home.

A football player assaulted a cheerleader in March. His consequence was sitting out ONE game. Baseball players assaulted a male cheerleader for his sexual preferences and one assaulted a female cheerleader resulting in a massive concussion, his consequence was TO RUN. CONTINUED‼️
Jerry and I were close. We were friends. HE LOST ALL those privileges after knowing he’s a mf SERIAL predator. I was sexually assaulted too?! I’m not after young kids/athletes so therefore there’s no excuse IDC. It’s a hard pill to swallow I get it. But giving statements.. lmao
It’s the audacity for me. Imagine you were one of the few kid’s (PLURAL LOL) and your idol SA’s you and your other idols work against you. Y’all fr? Things like this always make an appearance someway somehow and remember.. karma’s a b****. You ain’t slick
You see why I threw a BF over Jerry’s supporters, especially Monica. She’s a coach fighting for a predator & convinced her athletes to do the same. KNOWING her own son is a monster. Why? Maybe so she could buy their silence to protect her own blood. Not to mention the cheer tour.
The whole reason cheer itself, is the way it is - is due to those who do the act and the ones who turn a blind eye to it BUT TO VOUCH FOR HIM!!? He used and ABUSED his powers even AFTER trashing his phone KNOWING the feds were watching. he’s SICK
Y’all soft for being even remotely mad ab this 😂 why would cheer music include competitive word play if the athletes can’t preach it.. idk many details but cmon now lol accept that sports are intense and CAN be without malice intent smh
My blood is BOILING. I just wish HALF the cheer community knew what I’ve been through and how much toxicity and disgusting acts went down when I was an athlete in allstars. I bounced back. But now it’s happening to someone I love? Ha noted. Karma is REAL.
Reminder that my DMs are open - even if you’re not sure about coming forward - as a witness or survivor, I’m here to support you however you need & guide you to resources. I don’t take reports but I will tell you your options & what the process is like.
You are not alone. 💝
Love that the ppl are now taking the initiative to stand their ground. Don’t be afraid of how powerful your words and this community as a whole are. I promise we have the power to change the sport if we STAND TF UP
I’m so proud 😂 when I tell you it’s been so long since either of us stunted and we just randomly said let’s throw ppl boyyy sign me up haha
@shsu_cheer
And yet Sam Houston’s Administration has sanctioned the ENTIRE Spirit Program for the acts of a few as well as stated that “Hazing is a criminal act under the state law of Texas.”
This is what sexism and misogyny looks like at a so-called progressive D-1 university in 2022.
I plan to go live on IG (times will be specified) to discuss tough topics/issues and/or questions that some may want answered regarding cheer. Lmk if this sounds like something you all would like to hear. I posted ‘questions’ on my story. Xo
I was constantly asked why aren’t you on tour? I can’t be bought. My silence, energy, & soul can’t be BOUGHT. Or work w those who protect abusers & and give em a job KNOWING he gets off on abusing children. If you still believe cheerleading is a sport, do your hw on politics
Maybe you’ll start to understand why abuse constantly gets brushed under the rug and why many coaches, gym owners, & industry leaders look the other way. Stop desperately wanting to believe everyone is good. Parents & athletes both need to understand WE are the ones in control.
I simply cannot process anymore bad news. Atp I can only self reflect and wonder WHAT I did to have everything blow up in my face at once. Smh, torn apart rn
Please take the time to read through this Google doc I created concerning USA cheer. Thank you to all who support me and have since the beginning, it hasn’t gone unnoticed 🤞🏽🫶🏽
The real live Clovers!!!!?!?! Why am I crying? For those who aren't familiar with competitive cheer, this is HUGE!! And it's NOT due to a lack of talent.

It’s necessary for me to speak up bc silence is why athletes are so susceptible to abuse. We have been trained through fear to be silent and accept what is dished out, so we don’t lose what we love and sacrifice for.

Exactly why it’s important to sit and weigh out the harm and emotional damage that was caused by the person you may have loved - between the relationships you’ve had w said person. It’s not fair, life will never be fair but do what’s right.
Who you choose to remain loyal to is between you and God; it’s not my business. But when you vouch for a person in a court proceeding — a person who has real, live victims — you need to understand that your actions have consequences
@CheerFessions1
No, you be supportive and applaud them for growing into the athlete they are today. You don’t belittle them as a coach. It’s selfish and downright gross. What’s wrong with you lmao
Today, Sam Houston State University lifted previously announced sanctions against the university’s Spirit Programs, which will now be allowed to compete for the remainder of the 2023 season. (1/4)
I’m extremely grateful and blessed for what life has given me and every team/gym that has taught me a huge variety of lessons that I’ll never forget ~

No cuz....Y'all need to understand. Black squads NEVER get this far. We are the coaches, dance captains, or choreographers. Usually on a team you see 1 or 2 non-white girls TOPS. 25 yrs after Bring It On it finally happened in real life

Don’t get me started on the people who are brainwashed or turn the other cheek when their teammate needed them most. Coaches swear were robots and can handle any pain mentally or physically. What’s fucked is that the pain we endure happens bc we don’t want to disappoint them.
California Allstars are the definition of a true family other than your blood and I have never had that and I am grateful for this gym and everything these ppl have done for me. If it weren’t for them & many others I wouldn’t be where I am today or have overcome my obstacles.👊🏽
@jerseyydiva
I cried harder for them after hitting 0 let alone WINNING than I did when I got my 1st collegiate title. It was truly a Cinderella story. Many have no idea what the school put these programs through. Thank you so much ❤️🔥
Besides myself, ik there are SO many athletes in cheer that go through the same thing & my best advice is to find a gym that LOVES, APPRECIATES, AND RESPECTS YOU. Take risks, dont let any fear get in the way, AND PROVE YOUR WORTH.
1. I’m not going back & forth w ppl that don’t concern me or my team. 2. Everything medically was documented & charges were pressed shortly after finding out she was forced to be removed from Nationals and had a severe concussion. The girl speaking is the GF of said fb player.(1)
Following the publication of Jada Wooten's posts this morning,
@SavanahSnider
another Sam Houston State University student replied with an alternative version of events in a multiple part post as seen below.
The issues seem to be quite extensive, we will have no further updates.
Y’all swear every gym and/or coach treat their athletes as their own when in reality it’s the complete opposite. Athletes have a shelf life. Meaning once you’re struggling, hurting, or mentally checked out guess what? They’ll toss you. I went through it myself in Allstars.
I appreciate this so much!! I work hard for my team and coaches but if the recognition doesn’t come with it then I don’t mind honestly bc that’s not what I do it for, I love the sport and do it for myself 🖤
I can count on one hand how many coaches have made me feel safe, respected, and loved. ONE hand and I’ve cheered at 3 gyms and one school. That’s incredibly sad. The worst part is you’re paying these coaches and they have the audacity to treat you less than what you give/given.
@cheerUPDATES
This is incredibly insensitive and embarrassing as a grown adult whose child wasn’t even on the team. And if you really believe one athlete caused you a loss when it’s a team sport, then you’re lackin some serious brain cells. I’m triggered lol
I’ve had a terrible start to 2019 but I refuse to let that determine how the rest of my year be. Ik more bad days are to come but I will overweigh the positives over the negatives to start a healthy process. Everyone try to be in this wave. WORK HARD LOVE HARD GRIND HARD BABIES
I swear to god this is why my mental block (lasted 2 years) started. The DAY it was put in, landed on my neck. The day it was removed… didn’t land on my neck and been cheering ever since.
Birth control did damages to me I’ll never forget mane. Stay off that shit.
I had a implanon in my arm. Its called nexplanon now. Just don’t do none of that shit mane it aint good for women.
I promise.
You shouldn’t ever disrespect California Allstars. They’re one of the top TWO gyms in the entire world and that’s you and your daughters loss because unfortunately your daughter won’t understand the REAL importance of the game and love you gain from the athletes/coaches there. :/
This is EXACTLY what I did lol a show just so happened to appear 2 years later. Leave that girl alone bc I promise doing whatever you WANT gets you much further. I sacrificed walking across a stage for a diploma and would do it again in a heart beat. Period
Governing body, thorough training for gyms & coaches to deal w/ athletes properly mentally & physically, and affordable prices for families to watch their kids to start.
