Kristi McBee is not holding back when it comes to Steven McBee Jr.’s ex, Allie Eklund.
While viewers are currently watching the beginning of Steven and Allie’s relationship unfold on McBee Dynasty, the two have already publicly broken up in real life, and the split was anything but quiet.
Steven and Allie went public with their relationship after filming, but by April 2026, their romance had ended. Steven publicly accused Allie of cheating, which Allie denied. The breakup became even messier after Allie shared alleged text messages from Steven, prompting him to later apologize for what he called “cruel and degrading” messages.
Now, as fans watch Steven introduce Allie to the McBee family on the show, Steven’s mom Kristi is looking back on the relationship very differently.
Kristi commented on TikTok and claimed that the entire family was fooled by Allie.
“We all got played by her. Doesn’t everyone see how she knew to act the complete opposite of Calah. She knew to play me like I was her best friend. We all thought this was real. We didn’t know we literally had a paid actress on the show. She was telling me she wanted to marry him right away. Wow…”

Kristi’s comment adds major context to what viewers are seeing this season. On the show, Steven and Allie’s relationship appears to be moving quickly, with Steven seemingly hopeful that this could be a serious future for him after his relationship with Calah Jackson ended.
The family dynamic also matters here. Steven’s past relationship with Calah was heavily featured on McBee Dynasty, and Calah’s relationship with the McBee family was complicated. Kristi’s comment suggests that, in her opinion, Allie knew how to present herself differently and win over the family.
The timing is also important. Fans are watching the early days of Steven and Allie’s relationship on McBee Dynasty now, but in real time, their breakup has already played out publicly. After the split, Allie made it clear she had no plans to speak to Steven again.
That makes the current season feel very different for viewers. What may look like a fresh love story on screen is already over off screen, and the McBee family is now openly questioning what was real.
Steven’s love life has always been a big part of McBee Dynasty, especially because his family is so involved in his relationships. Whether it was Calah or Allie, the women in Steven’s life have never just been part of his personal storyline — they become part of the family storyline too.
Kristi’s reaction makes it clear that Allie’s time with the family left a mark.
Of course, Allie has denied Steven’s cheating claims, and viewers are only seeing one version of events play out on television. But Kristi’s comment shows that the McBee family’s current feelings about Allie are very different from what fans may be watching on screen.
