Kate Chastain found herself at the center of controversy when her castmate Sandra Diaz-Twine accused her, along with other contestants, of forming a secret smokers alliance on season 2 of The Traitors. Sandra alleged that Kate, Mercedes “MJ” Javid, Chris “CT” Tamburello, and Trishelle Cannatella used their smoke breaks to discuss game strategy.
In response, Kate clarified that she primarily vapes and not smoke. She also revealed that the smokers were always monitored by a producer and had their microphones on during breaks to prevent any unauthorized game talk. Kate emphasized that the smokers did not have an advantage in the game.
