Former ‘Bad Girls Club’ Stars Call For Docuseries, Claim Producers Held Cast ‘Hostage,’ Let Them Get ‘Assaulted’

Former "Bad Girls Club" stars are calling for a documentary about the alleged misconduct they endured by the hands of producers.

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.

Days after Netflix aired its latest docuseries, "Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model," social media users have been suggesting deep-dive productions into some of the world's other, more controversial reality shows.

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."

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.
