Their local premiere party may have been canceled amid ongoing controversy, but that didn’t stop the stars of Siesta Key from celebrating the debut episode of their MTV reality show.
The brand-new series, which chronicles the lives of 22-year-old Alex and his friends in an affluent island community just southwest of Sarasota, Florida, has been mired in controversy ever since a Facebook page boycotting the show began gaining followers in recent days. The backlash has been focused on footage of one of Kompothecras’ friends allegedly dragging a shark behind a boat at high speed, which has since gone viral.
