Steven McBee Sr. reportedly enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner with his girlfriend, Masha, before heading to prison. He was sentenced to time behind bars after he pleaded guilty to crop insurance fraud. Now, she’s going to jail herself. Keep reading for all the details.
Steven McBee Sr. Begins Prison Sentence
Steven McBee Sr. enjoyed his last few days of freedom by reportedly spending Thanksgiving with his on/off girlfriend, Masha Petrova. While the two seemed to split at the end of Season of The McBee Dynasty, his son spilled to Bravo that he sees her at the farm “three or four nights out of the week.”
The McBee family patriarch pleaded guilty to crop insurance fraud in November 2024 but only received a sentence in October. The judge sentenced him to two years in prison, plus two years of supervised release. Furthermore, he has to pay $4 in restitution. He reports to prison in Yankton, South Dakota, on Monday, December 1.
The popular show is currently filming Season 3, which means fans will get to see Steven McBee Sr. head to prison to begin his sentence. He opened up to PEOPLE magazine about how he’s portrayed on the reality show.
“On season 1, they were like, ‘Don’t worry, we’re going to make you look like a hero.’ After I seen it, I was like, ‘I’m not sure what your definition of a hero is, but that’s not really mine,’” he said.
Steven McBee added, “But, that’s okay. I mean, the show did well, and that drama is that drama. They certainly know how to produce it and show it.”

Two days after Steven McBee Sr. starts his prison sentence, Masha Petrova begins a jail sentence of her own. She must spend two days in jail in Missouri for a speeding ticket. The reality star won’t be free until she pays any fines relating to the speeding ticket.
Since her stay is so short, it is unclear if it will feature on the show. However, Steven McBee Sr. opened up about his final days leading up to his prison sentence.
“I feel like there’s so many things to get ready, so I’ve just been in this panic mode trying to make sure I thought of everything,” he told PEOPLE.
He added, “There’s going to be loose ends that fall through the cracks, but I would say the lion’s share of all major items have been covered. I mean, it’s definitely been an experience I never thought I would have.”
