Ummm what about the allegations against her son!?! As a parent that would rock me more than anything else that happened

Just because they dropped her from the lawsuit doesn't mean she didn't help cover shit up

Uhhhh are we not going to mention the heinous charges against her son??? That story also somehow miraculously disappeared out of circulation. I’m sure she helped cover that up too

This is the biggest piece of PR for her I’ve ever seen

I like how they just skip over the whole situation with Monica's son.

This is a bizarre video that treats being dropped from a lawsuit as tantamount to total vindication and exonerated of any wrongdoing. That didn’t happen, so why is it being presented as such? And why are other publications being belittled as if their scrutiny of the reputation she made for herself is now their responsibility to rehabilitate???

I used to be a competitive cheerleader and when the Netflix show Cheer came out, I could not get into it 🤷‍♀️

Thank you for sharing this story. Very well done!

I knew Monica was abusing all of them the second that show started. The nurse guy was like “what is she doing?” And this was just what she was willing to let us see on camera

In season one of Cheer, they highlighted how Monica Aldama took kids who had issues and gave them a life, hope, support, skills etc. Try dealing with just one teenager.. I know I can’t do it. I still have so much respect for her cause I know she’s just human, not God. But she has so much heart and strength to deal with teens and young adults year after year after year.

I feel sorry for Monica but if I was her I would never do it again. She not only possibly lose her marriage, her family, her likelihood and jobs. That's a lot to lose. It was one thing when Jerry did what he did. His actions couldn't account for the whole team but afterwards better so fade back out of the spotlight. Sad i enjoyed the show but sad.

I feel like they should’ve expected for the show to be as big as it was because of Gabi Butler. I mean we all know Gabi’s story especially with being on Cali Smoed and she’s a huge cheerlebrity, so it makes sense the any show with someone like Gabi being on it…..it’s gonna be huge.

Such an odd video

The downfall of Gabby in contrast to Ladarious would have been good to touch on as well. He was always the villain until he wasn’t

If a young girl on a team you are responsible for overseeing is raped, you help her file charges with the police- it’s that simple. Then the legal system takes over … there’s no reason to cover it up because the district attorney will decide if there’s enough evidence to prosecute. This decision should be in the hands of the DA not a cheer coach. Really should have been a clear cut moral decision for Monica.

Jerry was not HER lowest point. That SA victim’s assault and subsequent coverup was not HER lowest point. As a journalist I would expect a bit more perception when it comes to someone’s wording. I too work with the public and that type of speaking shows you what you need to know. Her concern is with herself, so for those people I reserve my sympathy as they supply themselves enough. It’s those who can introspect and at the very least face that they may have played some role. Those who will ALWAYS put a victim first in the narrative because they recognize what actually mattered then…they deserve this “redemption” you speak of. The downfall of Navarro’s reputation wasn’t the worst moment. Be honest here. It was 2 young brothers separately beginning to feel predated on by Jerry, feeling like the worlds new fav could harm them. It was the moment that victim had her bodily autonomy stolen. GET A GRIP.

Why does this woman look like she’s about to cry talking about this?

This video told us little. I loved Monica and still wish her the best. Such a strong role model and leader to push those kids to such greatness and give some crappy little Texas school such a phenomenal reputation. Sh*t happens in any organization. Everyone has skeletons in their closet.

What about the allegations against her son? That was back in December so it could've have certainly been mentioned. Or the lawsuit Monica is now filing against the cheerleader who claimed Monicia helped cover up her SA? I understand how Aldama's reputation has been attacked but this piece comes across as one-sided in it's coverage.

As a non-american I find the whole cheerleading thing a bit crazy. Maybe we should have boy colleges and girl colleges. The whole culture of fraternities and college parties, it's so crazy. So much sexual abuse at that age because these young people are going from the "adolescents" stage to the " emerging adult" stage. It's a mess with young people who lack poor impulse control.

What about the victim’s redemption? How about the victims family? I wonder how the news outlets reporting on all of the lawsuits made the victim feel or how it impacted their family? I wonder how those kids she verbally abused feel and how theyre lives have been changed because of her verbal abuse? Booooooooo booooooooo tomato tomato boooooo im throwing tomatoes 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅

The fact that her Jerry Harris was caught with with 2 minor boys and now her son has a similar crime. 🤔. Not good…..

This is so biased.
