A wave of former “Bad Girls Club” stars is pressuring production companies to launch a deep-dive documentary into the alleged misconduct and toxic atmosphere that defined the reality show in the early 2000s.

When a netizen mentioned “Bad Girls Club,” several of the show’s marquee players chimed in, implying they’d be interested in sharing how producers allegedly held them hostage, allowed them to be assaulted, and denied them their cell phones when they believed they were in danger.

The Shade Room shared a post from a social media user who wrote that watching “Reality Check” on Netflix made them want a documentary about Oxygen’s now-canceled series, “The Bad Girls Club.”

It didn’t take long for series alumni to flood the comments section, throwing their weight behind the idea while unloading on the show’s producers over their alleged behavior.

Jelaminah Lanier left a passionate response, sharing, “They sure TF do need to make one.” She continued, “Them producers used to talk to us any types of way. Only paid us $500 a week.”

Lanier went on, sharing shocking claims. “[Producers] let us get assaulted by security guards. Would walk in on us being naked in the shower. Held me and the twins hostage and didn’t wanna give us our phones back.”

Lanier is referencing an explosive scene from season 14 of the show, in which she and two other contestants, Shannon and Shannade Clermont, had thousands of dollars ‘ worth of their personal belongings destroyed by other castmates.

Lanier alleged that producers wouldn’t return her phone until after she ran “down the street screaming for help.” She claimed, “[I was] knocking on the neighbors’ doors. Couldn’t call the police [because] they kept disconnecting the phones. Y’all have no idea frfr.”

Lanier isn’t the only one calling for a “BGC” docuseries.

Shannon and Shannade commented, “TUH! agreed…,” while Tiara Hodge from season 7 commented, “Baby, if we were ever getting along in the house, [the producers] would turn off the phone lines and internet so we couldn’t even do that.”

Mehgan James, who also appeared on “Basketball Wives” and “Basketball Wives: Orlando,” also voiced support for a potential documentary. Beyond criticizing the show’s meager $500 weekly stipend, James recounted being left in a hotel room in Mexico for four days without a word from production, claiming they even held the cast’s passports.

Tanisha Thomas, one of the show’s breakout stars, most known for her crashout over sleep, wrote, “Chileee…..”

Jonica Booth also weighed in, alleging that producers deliberately cranked up the house thermostat to create tension and frustrate the cast.

“I only realized it was intentional when they came up stairs with coats on! And $500??? Can’t believe i accepted that shit! A N D when we went to the club WE had to pay!” she added.

Danielle Victor, who starred in season 8 alongside her twin sister, Gabrielle, said she’d only talk about the “horror stories from behind the scenes” if she were paid more than she was paid to film the show in 2012.

These disturbing accounts from “BGC” alumni surfaced just days after Netflix dropped its explosive look into the world of Tyra Banks and “America’s Next Top Model.”

The three-part production, according to The Blast, featured interviews with Banks and fellow executive producer Ken Mok, as well as former judges J. Alexander, Jay Manuel, and Nigel Barker.

“Selling Sunset” has been one of the most talked-about reality shows on Netflix since its 2019 premiere. However, one of the fan favorites, Christine Quinn, left the series after its fifth season. Now, three years later, the former Netflix star is discussing a potential return to the show after Chrishell Stause announced her exit near the end of 2025 following season 9. This comes amid her ongoing divorce.

Quinn recently interviewed with US Weekly and admitted she’s unsure what a return to “Selling Sunset” would feel like. She said, “There are always conversations being had. I don’t know what that looks like. I’m always open to having fun and turning looks, but it needs to make sense for me, so it’s just a question mark right now. We’ll see.”

Notably, this comes after TMZ reported in February 2026 that the production team behind “Selling Sunset” had approached the reality star about appearing for season 10. The report also stated that discussions about its potential return are ongoing and that no one has signed for the new season so far.

Elsewhere in the interview, Quinn discussed the “Selling Sunset” cast and revealed who she’s still in touch with after leaving the show. She said, “I do keep in contact with some of the cast. Jason [Oppenheim], I actually talked with yesterday. I love him. I’ve always loved him, and he’s always been really supportive of me.”

She added, “I do talk to a lot of the girls, also Nicole [Young], Davina [Potratz], Bre [Tiesi], here and there, and I see them at events and stuff like that.”Quinn then noted that she doesn’t watch “Selling Sunset,” but noted the show’s “darker turn from when I was on the show.”

According to her, “It’s like the tides have changed, and I’ve seen a huge uproar and people being like, ‘Oh my gosh. Christine was right. Why did we not see this the whole time?’ I had a lot of people that told me, ‘I went back and watched the season over again, and it’s like I was wearing rose colored glasses the first time I saw it.’ And so that does make me feel good.”

Following the initial report that Quinn was approached to return to “Selling Sunset,” many fans of the show took to social media to share their opinions. For the most part, her presence is missed on the series. One X user said, “If they don’t get her back, just cancel the show. Chrishell was the main character, and now she’s gone.”

Someone else wrote, “I mean… it has been TERRIBLE after she left. I completely stopped watching lol.” A different “Selling Sunset” fan stated, “They need her if Chrishelle is gone. Chrishell carried the whole show. Bre is wack as hell. And I’m glad Chelsea’s gone. It would’ve been OUTSTANDING with Chrishelle AND Christine together fighting.”

Another X user said, “I figured once Chrishell announced her departure.” Finally, someone else posted, “Christine Quinn’s dramatic Selling Sunset comeback feels inevitable now.”

Quinn’s life has changed quite a bit since she departed “Selling Sunset.” Sadly, she filed for divorce from Christian Dumontet in April 2024. She is living in Texas with her son. Quinn opened up about her divorce and what led to it in a March 2025 interview with PEOPLE.

She said, “This is the first time I’m talking about this stuff. I haven’t talked about this with anyone. Some people knew stuff was going on, but no one knew the extent of it in terms of how bad everything really was.”

Regarding why she relocated, Quinn said, “I really didn’t have a choice. I was granted an emergency protective order, so my ex couldn’t come to the house. He violated that, and would keep coming back.” She stated that they initially stayed in hotels and couch-surfed while in Texas.

Quinn added, “People really don’t know this. I was hacked out of my entire life. I was stripped of my entire life overnight — I literally had nothing. And it was dehumanizing. I was completely resourceless.” She also stated that there were issues in their marriage before the divorce filing.

Elsewhere in the interview, Catania offered support to the other “Real Housewives” stars who have appeared on one of the four seasons of “The Traitors,” noting how mentally challenging it is to play a social and strategic game in which everyone has eyes on you to begin with.

The current season of “The Traitors” is beginning to wind down, and Rausch is the last original Traitor remaining. At the beginning of the season, the Alabama native was joined in the Traitor’s turret by Rinna and Bassett.

Their dynamic deteriorated in episode 7 when Rausch spearheaded the effort to eliminate Rinna, and then turned on Bassett just one episode later.

Speaking with Page Six about his moves, Catania didn’t seem pleased about Rausch’s gameplay, stating, “I wish he would’ve left the ‘Housewives’ alone.” She continued, “Come on, don’t get rid of the ‘Housewives.’”

Catania appeared in season 3 of “The Traitors” and won. On her season, the reality TV veteran appeared with fellow Bravo stars Dorinda Medley, Chanel Ayan, and Robyn Dixon.

Once her fellow Housewives exited the castle, the experience grew increasingly challenging for her. “I was the last ‘Housewife’ [on Season 3 of ‘The Traitors’]. I knew what it felt like to be on an island. I knew what it felt like to not have that camaraderie. I was the last ‘Housewife’ for a lot longer than Dorinda,” she said.

Before Rinna and Bassett’s banishment in previous episodes, the pair bumped heads with Rausch during the show’s explosive round-table ceremony. While the outcome of the show remains under wraps, Catania suggested that a vigilant group of Faithfuls ought to be able to sniff out the remaining Traitors.

“So here’s the thing — traitor on traitor is always the biggest giveaway,” she said. “Evil can never stay with evil. You’ll find it in your life, you’ll find it across the board. And that was the biggest advice my mom gave me before I left for ‘Traitors.’”

Catania’s wisdom came from her mom, Valerie, whom she said has never seen an episode of “The Traitors.”

“So I explained it to my mom. I’m like, ‘Mom, how do I know who the killers are, who the traitors are?’ She goes, ‘It’s easy. If there’s more than one, they’ll wind up fighting because they can never stay together,’” Catania shared.

Per a report from The Blast, Bassett expressed frustration over her exit, slamming Rausch for betraying his fellow Traitors.

“Rob had lied to his Traitors at breakfast. He told us he didn’t mean to vote for Lisa, he was sorry he voted for Lisa, he didn’t think she was gonna go home. And then he goes to the roundtable that same night and not only votes for her but leads the charge,” Bassett said.

“You just lied to our faces. The game is called The Traitors, and he wasn’t being a Traitor. He was being a snake. He did what he felt was best for his game, and I hope it works out for him,” she shared.
