Controversy


In September 2020, Jerry Harris, an American cheerleader featured on the Netflix documentary series Cheer, was arrested on suspicion of sexual misconduct and child pornography. Cheer Athletics founder Angela Rogers is accused in a lawsuit alongside multiple other entities of tipping off Harris to an investigation by the FBI and negligence surrounding their handling of allegations of Harris' behavior that could have prevented the sexual misconduct and protected students and participants.
Cheer Athletics and Angela Rogers have come under further scrutiny following the uncovering of several public contacts made between Harris and Rogers in May 2020 after Rogers had claimed that she and Cheer Athletics had ceased involvement with Harris as of March 1, 2020. In July 2020, Cheer Athletics posted a photo of Harris to their Instagram account celebrating six Emmy Nominations for the Cheer series. The matter is still pending in court and Rogers maintains a stance of uninvolvement.
