Just when you thought the tension had simmered down after Part 2 of The Dolls reunion on Brandon TV, a full-blown social media war exploded between two of the most outspoken DDPs: Kendra King and Tonya “Big Red” Smith.
Here’s the breakdown:
Kendra didn’t attend the reunion, but her presence was loudly felt. A past sit-down between her and the other DDPs — including Tonya — was mentioned during the episode, and Tonya was not here for it. What seemed like a resolved issue quickly reignited when Tonya took to social media with a no-holds-barred post.
“You were and still are a NON F**KING FACTOR,” Tonya wrote, accusing Kendra of being messy, fake, and trying to control who she associates with. She even called out Brandon TV for the reunion editing, sarcastically applauding them for making Kendra “look like the big mouth that you are.”
Tonya also claimed that their beef had supposedly been squashed after tryouts — but feels Kendra reopened the wounds by misrepresenting their past interaction and dragging her name through the mud.
Then came Kendra’s clapback — in all caps and full of fire energy. Kendra defended her character and intentions: “I speak the truth and stand by it... I’m not a liar, nor a troublemaker and I’m loyal. So don’t put that on my name.”
She denied ever calling leadership or other parents names, insisted her heart was in the right place, and accused Tonya and her past “sidekicks” of saying negative things about children — a major accusation in DDP world.
As if things weren’t already spicy, Kendra even hinted Tonya had apologized to her at tryouts, accusing her of leaving that part out to “save face.”
Tonya wasn’t done. She doubled down in another post, labeling Kendra a “user” and “gossip,” and accused her of stirring drama to avoid confronting others in the group directly. She even threw some serious shade: “No one is trying to dim lights you don’t have!”
And just to make things more confusing... Dianna Williams, head coach and founder of the Dolls, publicly said on the reunion that Kendra doesn’t lie — but was later seen liking Tonya’s post dragging Kendra. So... whose side is she really on?
This is more than just dance moms squabbling — it’s a battle of reputations, receipts, and reality TV editing. With accusations of lying, fake friendships, and backroom gossip, it looks like this feud is far from over.
Catch up on the chaos by streaming The Dolls and its explosive reunion episodes now on Brandon TV (available on Roku, Fire Stick, Google TV, and itsbrandontv.com).
One thing’s for sure: Kendra and Tonya won’t be hugging it out anytime soon.
