“The McBee Dynasty” Cast Break Their Silence On the Life-Changing News About Steve Sr

The stars of “The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys” are rallying behind their patriarch, Steven McBee Sr., after his sentencing for federal crop insurance fraud. The family — known for their close bond and resilience — took to social media with heartfelt messages of love and unity in the hours surrounding the announcement.

Before the news broke on October 16, Steven McBee Jr. and Cole McBee, as well as Steven Sr.’s ex-girlfriend and company CFO Galyna Saltkovska, posted emotional tributes. Jesse McBee and Steven Sr. himself later added their own words of reflection.

Steven Jr. reshared a photo of himself and his father on horseback, originally posted on Father’s Day, writing, “Love ya Dad. Whole family is here for you.” Cole echoed those sentiments, posting a family picture from Jesse and Alli Ventresca’s wedding day. “We will get through anything together,” he wrote. “To the hardest working man I know, it’s our turn to be here for you. We got you, Dad.”

Galyna took a more subtle approach, sharing a portion of Theodore Roosevelt’s 1910 “Man in the Arena” speech and tagging Steve Sr. in her Instagram Stories — a gesture that didn’t go unnoticed by fans.

Following his sentencing, Steven McBee Sr. posted the same Roosevelt quote on his Instagram grid, pairing it with a line from William Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar”: “Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.” The post marked his first public statement since the court’s decision.

Jesse also shared an image of his father holding a hammer, surrounded by rocks and dirt, with the Latin phrase “Invictus maneo,” which translates to “I remain undefeated.”

Steven Sr. pleaded guilty in November 2024 to a multi-million-dollar federal crop insurance fraud scheme and now faces several years in prison and millions in restitution. His absence loomed large during season 2 of “The McBee Dynasty,” though his influence remained a key thread throughout the series.

In an August interview with The Daily Dish, Steven Jr. admitted the uncertainty weighed heavily on the family. “We love him so much, and love our family unit,” he said. “So, to picture him not being here with us for any amount of time, it’s scary.”

He added that the McBees are focused on staying strong: “We’re ready to get past that day, deal with whatever comes of it, and move on, to say the least. We know no matter what, if we stick together as a family, we’ll make it through anything.”
