Alex Hall is facing backlash for allegedly portraying a Black woman as angry and unhinged. According to a fellow cast member from ‘Selling the OC,’ Kayla Cardona, this criticism is warranted. Kayla Cardona, who witnessed the drama unfold between Alex and Brandi Marshall, explained that tensions between the two escalated throughout Season 2 of the show. The conflict stemmed from their involvement with Brittany Snow’s ex, Tyler Stanaland, and accusations of Alex’s messy pursuit of him. TMZ.com
The argument between Alex and Brandi reached a boiling point during a heated exchange in Cabo, which was recorded and later aired on Netflix. Many viewers interpreted Alex’s comments as racist microaggressions, attempting to depict Brandi as violent. Alex has been receiving criticism on Twitter for her behavior, and Kayla, who witnessed everything firsthand, responded by saying, “If the shoe fits.” Kayla also shared some insights into what happened off-camera, suggesting that the behind-the-scenes reality might have been even more contentious than what viewers saw on the show. When asked about the role of the Oppenheim brothers in diffusing the situation, Kayla refrained from direct criticism but hinted at the toxicity of the production environment.
