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. The premiere party was cancelled after death threats were made against the cast. On June 16, 2020, MTV announced that they parted ways with Alex Kompothecras and that the second half of season 3 would be re-edited to reflect that. ==References==
