## Key points

- McCall reached out to Mayci after feeling alone during cast drama.
- Mayci’s defence of her sister made tensions worse.
- McCall says she has grown and found common ground with Bobbi.

## Summary

McCall DaPron said she texted her sister, Mayci Neeley, during a dispute with castmates because she felt isolated and wanted support. Neeley’s forceful defence of her sister intensified tensions in the new reality series, though McCall said the messages were sent spontaneously and she did not expect them to escalate the conflict.

The disagreement followed a Palm Springs dinner argument involving Avery Woods and Bobbi Althoff, as well as continued frustration over a video Neeley had posted criticising unnamed cast members. McCall said some of the dispute was cut or taken out of context, and that she has learned from the experience; she also described a warmer relationship with Bobbi by the end of the first season. The season is streaming on Hulu, and a second season has not been confirmed in the article.
