Kelli Finglass made the difficult decision to once again cut Dayton Bramhall from DCC<\/a> for the fourth time this season. It wasn’t a fun choice for her and Judy to make, and now Kelli has spoken out about the cut, as well as where they stand with Shelley and Dayton now after the fallout.<\/p>\n

Kelli told Us Weekly<\/a>: “We are still standing. Shelly is still reporting to work and contributing in a big way. She always has. Dayton has taken a new role at a job in Texas. I think she has other truths and other chapters for her to explore.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Dayton was cut on the series, Shelly could be heard saying: “I\u2019m not OK. Dayton did everything they asked her to do. You take strangers that you don\u2019t know and you can\u2019t even give someone you held in the hospital a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelli opened up more about her decision, telling Us Weekly: “I think she\u2019s grown up enough to maybe redirect herself. I think all of that is healthy. She worked hard and she tried. We worked hard and tried to make it happen for her and it just didn\u2019t. It comes down to if we choose one person over another, why are we saying no to the other? She just never quite got there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shelly also spoke out after a viewer claimed that her legacy had been tainted as a result of Braxton\u2019s rejection.<\/p>\n

In a TikTok clip, one viewer criticised Shelly and claimed that her \u201clegacy is tainted\u201d after Dayton was cut from Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. They alleged: \u201cDid anyone else hear her say that her legacy was tainted, or is it just me? I mean, the whole situation is sad because she\u2019s literally sitting on the sidelines bawling her eyes out, and she did not have good things to say [about Dayton].\u201d<\/p>\n
