With Season 2 of The McBee Dynasty nearing its end on Bravo, Calah Jackson is speaking out about Steve McBee’s FBI investigation.
The second installment of the reality show found the family slowly opening up about the scandal — a scandal Jackson claims she knew about long before most of the family.
In fact, she says she was told what was happening by her boyfriend at the time, Steven McBee Jr., before he even let his brothers know.
According to Jackson, he confided in her, and it was for a good reason.
“I think that Steven’s reasoning for not telling his brothers [was] because he didn’t want them to take on any of the stress or worry he was having to deal with,” Jackson shares with Us Weekly.
“I definitely do think they would be, you know, offended or left out that he would tell me over his brothers because they’re such a close-knit family,” she adds.
How Long Did Calah Jackson Know About Steve McBee’s FBI Investigation?
Although news of Jackson and McBee’s breakup only recently surfaced as the moment aired on Bravo, the on-again, off-again couple have been separated since 2024.
The couple called it quits after filming wrapped for Season 2 at the end of last year.
Jackson was dating McBee when he learned of his father’s legal troubles, so she has known for quite some time. She tells the publication that he told her about it roughly six months before the rest of the family found out.
“Steven confided in me about it, and I was really his shoulder to lean on and help him go through those motions,” she explains.
What Are Steve McBee’s Legal Troubles?
McBee has pleaded guilty to his involvement in a multimillion-dollar insurance fraud scam while running the family business, McBee Farm & Cattle in Missouri.
He was accused of falsifying crop yield reports and crop usage.
In Nov. 2024 he was charged with one count of federal crop insurance fraud. His sentencing is scheduled for September.
The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys is currently airing on Bravo. Fans can watch Monday at 9PM ET or stream the next day on Peacock.
At this time, the show has not been renewed for a third season.
