When Tina speaks of negativity, it seems that she’s partially pointing fingers at Vannessa Cross. In the comments section, Tina had nothing but unkind things to say about her former costar.

However, this isn’t where the shade ended.

“This is why only [a] few people are allowed in my inner circle,” Tina said in another comment. “I’m a one and done kind of girl – you give me one reason not to trust you, I’m done forever. People usually show you who they are – you just have to be willing to listen. V and I were never close for that very reason. Walls are built for a reason.”

And in a very surprising turn of events, Tina even referred to Vannessa Cross as a “cash cow” in a comment. A fan asked for details about the show’s future. The former TLC star replied and shared reasons she didn’t mesh well with the production team.

“… It could really be that I stand up for myself and I didn’t let a higher up threaten me, talk down to me and cuss me out. It could be that I don’t get along with their cash cow. And didn’t let her walk all over me,” she wrote. The term “cow” had to be intentional on Tina’s part.
