Since the latest season of Outer Banks hit Netflix, rumours of a cast feud have been hot topic. It’s been said that tensions have grown on set between Madison Bailey and Rudy Pankow, and now this has spiralled into a big thing. Over the last few weeks, people have noticed members of the Outer Banks cast have unfollowed each other on Instagram, all the more fuelling the fire.
As the show has progressed, Rudy and Madison’s characters JJ and Kiara have got closer and closer. Now, the rumours have started saying this has caused their relationship in real life to deteriorate. People are saying this has spread to include Rudy’s girlfriend Elaine Siemek, and Madison’s girlfriend, Mariah Linney.
Rudy and Madison are said to have been keeping their distance on the Outer Banks set. So much so, people think stunt doubles were used in cuddling scenes in the most recent episodes. Rumours of a feud are reported to have began in June of last year after a cast dinner, which was also attended by Rudy Pankow’s girlfriend.
So, here’s a rundown of the state of the Outer Banks cast drama, as per who has unfollowed who since it all allegedly went down.

Madison Bailey has unfollowed Rudy Pankow’s girlfriend, Elaine
Winding back to where all the drama first started: That apparent cast dinner. According to StyleCaster, this happened last year, and the entire cast were there, alongside Rudy’s girlfriend Elaine. The publication has reported after the dinner Madison unfollowed Elaine, and as did Madison’s girlfriend, Mariah Linney.
It’s thought the drama stems back to the cast members getting closer on the show, and this making things awkward in their real life relationships, off-screen.
Elaine unfollowed Madison back
It was also noted that after the cast dinner, Elaine unfollowed Madison and Mariah back. Rudy too unfollowed Mariah. Yikes.

Despite the drama, Rudy and Madison still follow each other
Despite all the drama being centred around them, Rudy and Madison have continued to follow each other. There were screenshots circulating last week that appeared to show Madison unfollowing Rudy, but it looks as though they were faked.
Madelyn Cline has unfollowed Rudy Pankow
One person who is actually showing her true feelings is Madelyn Cline. Despite her character Sarah always having a good relationship with JJ, right up until *that* ending, the beef has got too much for her. In the most recent turn of events in this tale, Madelyn has unfollowed Rudy.
The plot has really thickened as people online are saying for Elaine’s birthday, Rudy surprised her with a visit from a close friend. However, this friend is also apparently a close friend of Madelyn’s. After this, Madelyn unfollowed both Rudy and Elaine. Where is this sub plot going?!
Rudy still follows Madelyn, though.
The beef also hasn’t spread to the rest of the cast… yet
As it stands, Chase Stokes still follows all his co-stars, as does Drew Starkey, and Jonathan Daviess. I can’t deal with any more!
