Controversy and criticism

The series was controversial prior to airing, due to star Alex Kompothecras being a friend of four Florida men who engaged in a viral act of animal cruelty by dragging a live shark behind a boat. Kompothecras was caught on camera shooting a shark, and also had uploaded racist posts to Instagram.[61][62] Fellow reality TV stars, including Vanderpump Rules' Lala Kent, and Jayde Nicole from The Hills both petitioned against the show.[63] The premiere party was cancelled after death threats were made against the cast.[64]
