KayDianna Garza, a former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader (DCC) and a key figure in Netflix's "America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders" Season 2, recently concluded her tenure with the squad.
Her withdrawal followed a challenging period where she became the first leader after veteran Chandi Dayle's resignation due to a rule violation during a team trip to the Bahamas.

season, initially joined in 2021 to 'validate her own abilities,' stating, "All my life people believed that I was a great performer and dancer, but I never believed that myself. Trying out for DCC was my way of showing myself what everyone else saw in me!" She especially valued the emphasis on 'sisterhood' and giving back.

The "Bahamas incident" significantly disrupted the DCC. Chandi Dayle allegedly violated policy by sharing the team's hotel with an unknown man. Dayle explained, "I was just kind of crumbling down and I was like, 'Dang, I feel like I have no one here to talk to, so it's nice to have someone to confide in.' I broke a DCC rule and had time with my friend. It was probably the wrong place and time to do that, but selfishly, I had to do it for me because I feel like I was just losing it.

" Judy Trammell, DCC's head choreographer, validated Dayle's "leave of absence," leading to Garza's promotion.
Assuming leadership brought personal setbacks for Garza. A TikTok Live, where she briefly mentioned Dayle's situation and hinted at a video to "talk about the whole thing," went viral, resulting in her suspension for "being a bully and harassing."
Feeling the situation unbearable and unsupported, she decided to take herself out of the organization and respect herself.
Garza stated, "I definitely didn't feel supported, I felt like I was just a body. It was as if Chandi got the perks of being a first leader and I got the responsibility part of it." Kelli Kelli Finglass verified Garza's exit was "her choice.'
On April 27, 2025, Garza announced her departure on Instagram: "After prayerful consideration, I have made the decision to step away from my role with the Dallas Cowboys organization.
While this was not the ending I had envisioned, it is one I felt led to make for myself, in full faith and peace. I'm deeply grateful for four unforgettable seasons—filled with growth, meaningful friendships, and memories that will stay with me forever.
"
She added, "Though this door has closed, I trust fully in God's plan and the new doors he is preparing to open. I do not view this as a setback, but as a divine setup for what's next. He is not finished with me yet, and I am stepping forward with expectation and joy for all he has in store."
