Netflix “Cheer” Drama: La'Darius Marshall exposes Gabi Butler & The Dark Side of the Cheer Industry
04 Feb 2023
How did a show, that was once on top of the world, crumble so fast? Netflix's hit show "Cheer" featured a competitive collegiate team out of Navarro, Texas. The cast won over millions of hearts. Jerry Harris was a rep for the "Ellen Degeneres Show" at red carpets and the cast had accumulated millions of followers online. But did Netflix bite off more than they could chew when airing the show? And where do they go from here? As of recently, La'Darius Marshall has called out Gabi Butler for black face and other things. And her response is a lesson in what *not* to do during a P.R. crisis. Where do they go from here? Will the lucrative "Cheer" franchise continue on Netflix or is the show officially cursed? This is for educational purposes only! No being mean or dog-piling. When talking about the people and organizations involved in the story this week, it is all my opinions and alleged.Tune into 'Ahead of the Curve' with Coco Mocoe for weekly episodes on pop culture, entertainment and marketing news.If you love the podcast, you will love my socials!
