Anyway ... apparently La'Darious Marshall posted on Tik Tok about how Gabi went to something years ago in black face (I saw pictures - I think this was before Cheer) and said they hooked up. Then Gabi posted a video as a rebuttal yelling at him. The best part was when she told him she wasn't even going to respond, because she's classy. AS SHE WAS RESPONDING TO HIM! Then she said she'd pray for him. Amen. I love when pretty or talented yet stupid people get in fights and make them public.

Personally I fall on the side of wanting the criminal justice system to be more about rehabilitation than punishment. The safety of children is of course vital and Jerry will be on the sex offenders register for life so can’t ever be hired to work with children. He is also famous so future parents of teenage boys in cheer will know to keep their sons away from him if they ever happen to cross paths.
I don’t think it serves society well to permanently shun it’s wong doers, that just drives them into the shadows where they will operate unfettered by positive people around them. If Monica acts as a mentor to him to keep him on the straight and narrow after release then great!

I wish all pedophiles were sentenced to at least that long. Unfortunately they aren't. I think Jerry's sentence is that long because of the attention and popularity of the show.

Manipulation. She turns her emotions and affection on and off as needed to get what she wants from those kids.
Is this the "Ladarius turns on Monica" episode?
I agree, she seems like a master manipulator.
I'm not sure thats fair. Ladarius has major issues around abandonment. She does seem to get emotionally invested in her "kids" which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

I got no creepy vibe from him. Instead, I got a whiff of sadness and poignancy; lost love, lost job. He is someone totally into what he does and seems afraid of real intimacy (which he admitted while talking about his ex). I was happy to see he regained a co-coach title at the end. I enjoyed seeing his relationship with Vontae. Also - does anyone know what happened to Monica’s male assistant coach who seemed to disappear after spring 2020? I feel like I missed something.
