Who is Charlotte Jones from America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders?

Charlotte Jones was featured prominently in the Netflix docuseries America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Charlotte has spoken approvingly about Kelli Finglass's performance as DCC director in the docuseries.

"Hiring Kelli was one of the greatest decisions I’ve ever made. I need someone around me that I can trust. I need someone who will lie awake at night and try to solve problems, and tries to make the vision happen."

The docuseries also covers contentious issues like how much the cheerleaders are paid, with DCC alumnus Katherine Puryear being blunt in her assessment:

"I would say I'm making, like, a substitute teacher [salary]. I would say I'm making, like, Chick-fil-A worker that works full-time."

Many of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders work second jobs to make ends meet. When asked about the pay prospects in the DCC, Charlotte Jones stated that aspirants don't join cheerleading for the financial benefits.

"There’s a lot of cynicism around pay for NFL cheerleaders—as it should be. They’re not paid a lot. But the facts are, they actually don’t come here for the money."

"They come here for something that’s actually bigger than that to them. They have a passion for dance. There are not a lot of opportunities in the field of dance to get to perform at an elite level...It is about a sisterhood that they are able to form, about relationships that they have for the rest of their life," she added.
