One day after Season 4 of White Water premiered, Kayla alleged in a tweet that her stepbrother and former co-star, Dustin Hurt (who used to be best friends with Paul), is to blame for the couple’s exit from the show.

"Sorry everyone, I fought hard to be on Season 4 but ultimately Dustin said he wouldn’t do the show if I came back," the dredge tender operator and diver wrote on Nov. 14. "I think the little man was intimidated that I could do everything that he did, despite being a woman. I have no regrets for standing up against him. He is a coward."

Dustin hasn't publicly addressed Kayla's claims, but he previously stated that women shouldn’t be part of the mining teams — which is one of the reasons why his friendship with Paul soured. That thinking also caused a rift between him and his dad, "Dakota" Fred Hurt, who hired Kayla (his stepdaughter) at the beginning of Season 3.

Followers showed support for the ousted reality star while criticizing Dustin’s behavior on the series. "Who would’ve thought Dustin was chauvinistic and arrogant, he only comes over that way in every single episode," one viewer sarcastically commented.

Another said they would no longer be watching. "Disgusting how you have been treated. You are better than him anyway," the tweeter wrote. "Best wishes to you Kayla."
