Thank you, Melody, for your thorough and insightful review of my book, "Juked". I appreciate the time and effort you put into analyzing the events I documented. Your charisma in front of the camera is truly remarkable. While I may not agree with all of your assessments, I value your perspective and your skill in breaking down complex topics for your audience. I've noticed some comments that are “out the box”. Allow me to clarify that the aim of "Juked" extends beyond simply presenting my perspective; it also aims to shed light on the common challenges faced by leaders across various spheres of life. The overarching purpose of "Juked" is to provide insight into my decisions, thought processes, and the accusations leveled against me. As the head of the SU Department of Bands during that period, I bore responsibility for all decisions, including those in which I may not have been directly involved. I do not seek to justify my actions or assign blame elsewhere. Instead, the underlying message of the book emphasizes my commitment to taking full accountability for my decisions/actions and their consequences. -Nathan B. Haymer

After hearing & reading all of this drama from Gabby’s & Haymer’s books, all of y’all were professional & presented a united front- the staff, band & dolls. From a fan’s perspective you couldn’t tell there was chaos behind the scenes. It seems like everyone performed well under pressure, so let the chaos continue!!! 😂

Bringing Danielle Stamper back as captain in 2017 has to be a top 3 best decision made in recent Doll history. 2017 was a phenomenal year for the dolls from a performance standpoint and gave a much needed facelift to an already iconic organization. I know you love Maya, but i just dont think she would've fit that season like the dancers who performed that year, and i like Maya It seems like 2015 was happy with Dannie in 2017, but something must've changed after Jordan didn't make captain. Dannie has outwardly supported 2015 even to the point of not supporting her own crab getting captain in 2018 but it feels like 2015 doesnt outwardly support her the same. Jordan expressed that the dolls got too far from the 'doll style' in 2017, and here, you seem to make faces when stating Dannie was coming back. I get feeling a way that your sister/friend didn't make the team, but you can't deny the impact 2017 made on the Dolls and it wouldn't have happened without Dannie Stamper
@louisianagirl74303 ай бұрын
I don’t think the problem was ever about them bringing Dani back, the BIGGER issue is the sneaky way they went about it. Dani is an amazing dancer in her own right and that’s not debatable. But purposely knocking Maya down to hand the position to Dani, was definitely abuse of power and favoritism. We all been knew that. Again, not saying Dani didn’t deserve it because she’s a beast, but the shady tactics to insure she got it, is the problem at hand. 🤍

And also in Gabby’s book, Haymer was questioning her about making KZfaq channels and acting bigger than the band, and he confirmed it too, so all this BS in his book about him being flabbergasted by the Alyx and Maya cuts is a boldfaced lie tbh. It’s not ALL on DT. He let it get to this because a student was working for his nemesis, and he felt like getting rid of her would get rid of his problem. I absolutely agree that he owes Maya and Brendon a sincere apology as well as KP and Linkford.
