Financial scandal is heating up yet again among cast members as they face backlash from fans and possible repercussions. , which takes place in Galatin, Missouri, is currently in full swing, and Steve McBee Sr., the patriarch of the family, is absent. he pleaded guilty to, and in season 2.
However, the most recent financial woes and potential fraud within the McBee clan are stemming from oldest brother, Steven McBee Jr., his mom, Steve Sr.'s ex-wife, Kristi McBee, and Steven Jr.'s on-and off-again girlfriend, Calah Jackson.
In the latest episode, Calah asked Steven Jr. to cosign for an apartment in Dallas that requires a minimum income of $250,000 a year. Steven said his W-2's don't show that kind of income, but Steven and Calah asked Kristi to help out, and she agreed. Then, when third-oldest brother Cole McBee was fighting with Calah over his mistreatment and verbal abuse of Steven Jr., he blurted something that could be seen as incriminating.
"She's on payroll working for motherf*****g mom!"
Now, McBee Dynasty fans are suspicious that employment fraud is taking place (via on Reddit.
"She wasn’t asking for money. She was asking for a fake W-2. And Stephen said that she needed to show at least an income of $250,000 a year. He said that the farm couldn’t afford to show that as an additional employee. So he asked his mom to do that for him. That is employment fraud," the thread's title read.
"She was asking for help with employment verification. He said - she had to show that she made over $250k a yrs which is wild," another commenter said.
What McBee Dynasty Fans' "Employment Fraud" Speculation Means
It's At Least Suspicious
Other Redditors in the thread reasoned that calling the situation employment fraud was a stretch and that Calah was asking Kristi to fund her new apartment.
However, Cole's comment about Calah being on payroll with his mother is what makes the whole situation that much more suspicious.
With all the shadiness surrounding Steve Sr. it's understandable that McBee Dynasty fans believe the worst regarding the other family members, but no legal action has taken place regarding the employment fraud claim.

Our Take On Calah, Steven Jr. & Kristi's Messy Situation
Why Has Kristi Been Supporting Calah?
The situation between Steven Jr., Calah, and Kristi is entirely messy, and Kristi has been bashing Calah online.
According to Kristi, she has been paying for Calah's 15-month lease on a luxury apartment in Dallas and paying for Calah's car note. On the show, Kristi said she would do anything to keep Calah away from Steven because their relationship is toxic, and she doesn't see any redeeming qualities in Calah.
In any case, the circumstances and background of Calah being financially supported by Steven and his mom are still unfolding in The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys season 2, so more tea could be spilled before the season is over.
The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
