“It Was a S— Show”: Galyna Saltkovska’s Raw ‘McBee Dynasty’ Confession and Housewives-Ready Drama After a Turbulent Season

After a season of drama, betrayal, and way too many glasses of wine, Galyna Saltkovska is spilling all the tea — from broken friendships to whether she’s ready to swap Bravo’s McBee Dynasty chaos for a Real Housewives rosé-fueled glow-up. Spoiler: She hasn’t finished stirring the pot just yet.

“I don’t see myself going in any different directions,” she tells Collider. “We went through an incredibly difficult season, and all of those difficult situations kind of bonded us and brought us closer together. So, yeah, no — I don’t see myself anywhere else anytime soon, or ever.” Galyna also emphasizes that she’s not on The McBee Dynasty to be a reality star or influencer — her position as CFO is real, and she’s committed to her job. “I’m not trying to be an influencer and live off of being on TV. I like what I do, and I worked hard to get here.”

Galyna Reveals if the Bitter Fallout With Masha Can Be Repaired

“There is never respect on ultimate betrayal.”

That being said, she admits this season has been incredibly difficult, for obvious reasons. Season 2 opened with her being cast aside as Steve Sr.’s romantic partner, despite retaining her job at the company, as Stephen Jr. muddles his way through trying to take over. Adding insult to injury, Steve Sr. started a romance with Galyna’s (former) close friend Masha, which triggered a slew of explosive moments from Galyna, including trespassing at Steve Sr.’s home to destroy Masha’s clothes and leaving Masha’s chicken coop open, making her pets vulnerable to predators.

While Galyna has had time to reflect on her actions and regrets some of her behavior, she says there’s no coming back from a friend’s betrayal. “There is no repairing of friendships after the ultimate betrayal and backstabbing,” she explains. “You just don’t do that. Trust is very hard to build… but once you break the trust, it’s almost impossible to repair.” Galyna’s friendship with Masha ran deep, stemming from a vulnerable period in her life. “She came into my life when I was already in a difficult position,” Galyna recalls. “She inserted herself… pretended to be my friend in difficult times with no intention to do so.” As a result, “There is no recovering from it… There will be constant interaction because of her agenda… There will never be respect on my end. There is never respect on ultimate betrayal.”

Galyna’s Raw Confession and Hard Lessons Learned on ‘The McBee Dynasty’
“Ultimately, I’m proud of this season.”

Masha broke Galyna’s trust and friendship by hooking up with Steve Sr., but Galyna admits her reactions to the betrayal weren’t always justified. “I probably was not politically correct on many occasions, but this was the best decision I could make at the time… it wasn’t popular,” she says, reflecting on several moments this season as a wounded McBee cast member. “It was a s— show… I know I made some bad decisions — I own it.” She adds: “It’s been an incredibly eye‑opening experience, very sobering… a journey to grow and reflect and feel like I’m human. Sometimes I find excuses for my behavior… Ultimately, I’m proud of this season. I felt we showed our very authentic emotional growth in the moment.”

Galyna emphasizes that the drama on the show is very real and “wasn’t altered… this is the true, authentic reaction based on the circumstances or events,” she insists. “I’m proud we showed our very authentic growth emotions just the way they are in the moment.”

Speaking of authentic moments, Galyna reflects on the incident when she was at her breaking point and Stephen Jr. accused her of being drunk at work after essentially going MIA. She admits that during the tough times on the show, she sometimes relied on “way too many glasses of wine in the evening just to try to calm myself down and pacify myself.” However, she clarifies that drinking at work was never the case, even if it may have looked that way at times.​​​​​​​ “I’m glad we had that conversation and kind of got it out of the way.”​​​​​​​ Overall, she adds:​​​​​​​ “One of the things that I’ve learned through this entire experience is how to start taking care of myself. Most of the time, I put everybody ahead of me — and I feel that it ultimately affected me in a very negative and dramatic way.”
