‘Bad Girls Club: East Meets West’ is the seventeenth installment of Oxygen’s hit reality series ‘Bad Girls Club,’ which first came out in 2006. Premiered in 2017, this season’s castmates consist of Bad Girls, all of whom either belong to the East Coast or the West Coast. It follows them as they reside together in a luxurious Downtown Los Angeles loft in an attempt to mingle, all the while trying to control their innate urge to get violent. As it has been some time since the season aired, ardent fans of the show can’t help but wonder about the current whereabouts of the contestants.
Deshayla Harris Has Tragically Passed Away
Deshayla ‘Shay’ Harris from Norfolk, Virginia, was one of the original bad girls of the season. She was a complete firecracker and diva, always ready to enjoy a good party. Being from the East Coast, she believed the West Coasters were boring, but that didn’t deter her from trying to get cozy with them. Even though she often flipped sides in the show, she managed to stick around till the end. However, she and a few other castmates decided not to attend the reunion. This was of course before she was tragically killed on March 26, 2021, as one of the two bystanders during a series of Virginia Beach shootings. A press release issued by the Virginia Beach Police Department stated that she was likely to have been an innocent victim who was hit by a stray bullet. Shay reportedly lost her life at the scene itself.

Fran now lives in New England and is a proud dog mom to an adorable pup named Peanut and often shares adorable snaps of his. She has also found a new interest in witchcraft and loves to know more about it while visiting places of relevance, such as the Salem Witch Museum. She reportedly even enjoys bartending and has since launched a clothing and lingerie collection under her nickname on the show; The Rockin’ Barbie.

Key’s social media is filled with her musical renditions and funny videos.

The tattooed and pierced bombshell was enrolled at USC and had an envious GPA to her credit too. She found an insatiable urge to correct people and put them in their place, a trait that one would attribute to her dreams of becoming a lawyer.
