Internet urges Selling the OC’s Kayla Cardona to file defamation on ‘manipulative’ Alex Hall after podcast drama

Alex Hall had suggested that Kayla Cardona was medicated and called her crazy in the podcast

ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA: After the episode of 'Selling the OC' Season 3 aired, fans called out Alex Hall for her actions when the podcast drama between her and Kayla Cardona was unveiled in the series. Fans labeled Alex as manipulative and criticized her for what she said about Kayla. Some even went as far as suggesting that Kayla should sue Alex for her remarks.

"Alex being called out for publicly talking trash about Kayla & then turning it around and playing victim for something she's at fault for is a master class in manipulation. It's sinister, but she's a master at her craft and it works every time," said a user on X. "Why hasn’t Kayla sued Alex Hall for defamation?!" added another. "If I were Kayla, I would sue Alex Hall for defamation so fast her head would spin," shared another user. 

"Alex Hall pulling the single mother card to relate with Kayla after talking shit about her PUBLICLY and lying to her PUBLICLY is a crazy card to pull," said one more. "omg alex is so manipulative i understand why ali reacted the way she did cause that half ass apology she gave kayla," said another. "Alex Hall is SO MANIPULATIVE oh my god?!!!! The single mom card??? She’s INSANE #SellingTheOC Kayla STAND UP," said one. 

What did Alex Hall say to Kayla Cardona in the podcast? 

When the teaser clip of the episode surfaced, many people forwarded it to Kayla, suggesting that it involved her in some way. Consequently, the group confronted Alex, seeking clarity on the matter. Alex denied that her remarks were directed at any of them, but refused to disclose the identity of the person she was referring to. However, when the full episode aired, it became evident that Alex had misled them, as it was revealed that the agent she had spoken negatively about was indeed Kayla.

In the podcast, Alex said, "And now we get each other. And Kayla and I don't speak. Uh, she's bats--t crazy, um, off her f-----g rocker, like needs to be medicated. Seriously, like I'm concerned for her well-being at this point. Like I'm not saying crazy as in like 'She's crazy [Valley girl accent]. Like ... crazy [normal accent]. And I don't speak poorly about people, but she has really shown me who she is. When someone's mentally unsound, even in their presence, you feel crazy."

Alex Hall justifies podcast drama 

Talking to ET Online, Alex said how she is involved in numerous podcasts and has a busy schedule, which may have contributed to her forgetting that the situation discussed pertained to Kayla. She noted that it appeared as though the other girls were already aware of the details and had been dwelling on them. 

"Here's what's unfortunate is, that I do a lot of podcasts," Alex said. "I'm juggling a lot, and unfortunately, for me in that situation, I genuinely didn't remember that it was about Kayla, even though it seemed like all of the other girls already knew. It seemed like they had been brewing on this. Obviously, the podcast was very readily available for anybody to listen to, which they had. And so asking me the question, when it seems like they probably already knew the answer that it was Kayla, I think speaks more about them than it does me."
