Kristi McBee is establishing her presence in Season 2 of The McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys, offering her insights on topics from her children to her ex-husband and the woman she holds responsible for the end of her marriage.

In Episode 2 of Season 2, Kristi joined her son, Steven McBee Jr., for a meal, and he suggested she visit the family farm while his father, Steven Sr., was away.

“It’ll be a bit more relaxed without your dad around,” Kristi remarked. “Of course, it’s not just your dad I’m hoping to avoid. So I want to ensure there aren’t any other unwanted encounters…”

Kristi confessed the “other” to whom she’s referring is Galyna Saltkovska, her ex-husband’s now ex-girlfriend, whom she believes he cheated with while they were married.

“Steve and I were married 28 years. Then I started finding out there was a lot of infidelity. So I filed for divorce,” Kristi noted in a confessional.

Steven Jr. had more to spill on his father and Galyna’s relationship. “She’s not the only Russian in the picture now,” he told his mother, adding that Steven Sr. is now dating “[Galyna’s] best friend,” Masha.  

“Wow,” Kristi replied. “Man, it’s just one drama after another with your dad.”

Kristi admitted she’s still holding resentment towards Steven Sr. and how his behavior influences their sons, Steven Jr., Jesse McBee, Cole McBee and Brayden McBee,

“My biggest fear with the boys is that they will become like their father,” she confessed. “I see what the boys are going through, and I can see them picking up some bad habits that their father has towards women. I want them to be good to their wives, girlfriends, to women in general.”

Despite her strong feelings, her son believes his mother is moving forward.

“My mom and dad had a very, very rough divorce,” Steven Jr. said. “But my mom’s done a really good job of growing past all that.”

Later in the conversation, Steven Jr. opened up to his mom about the “uphill battle” the farm was facing financially, and how the strain was causing tension among him and his brothers. Naturally, Kristi had some thoughts on the matter. 

“Your dad kind of pitted you guys against each other and created a lot of jealousy,” Kristi said, referring to Steven telling each of his sons to “step up” as he took a step back from the farm. “You guys have to work together.” 

“Steve being gone caused a lot of issues, for Steven [Jr.] especially… I do not agree with Steve putting them in that position,” Kristi said on the July 7 episode. “They’re too young to have been dealing with all of this.”

But Steven Jr., who called his father a “tornado wherever he goes,” and his mother believe it might actually be easier to run the farm with less involvement from Steven Sr. 

“You look at your dad—his personal life is a mess,” Kristi told her son. “He creates chaos wherever he goes. You can’t run a successful business in a chaotic environment.”

Kristi McBee gives Steven McBee Jr. business advice amid “chaos” 

Steven asked his mother for business advice about running the farm since she’s the president of her own successful company.

“I respect my mom so much,” he said. “What she’s been able to do with her company, Lan-Tel Communications.”

Kristi described her business as a “communications, underground construction and concrete company” that she acquired after her divorce from Steven Sr.

Kristi alluded to her ex’s disdain for the new company as her motivation to make it successful.

“Steve definitely said that I was going to run it into the ground within six months,” she said in the episode. “And we’ve been able to grow the business three times the size that it was. Little sweet revenge.”

Steven Jr. shared that his mother’s advice is invaluable.

“Her company blows away any of our businesses. She makes money hand-over-fist,” he said. “Has a Lamborghini. Has all of these nice vehicles. It’s insane.”
