Unveiled Truths - Cheer: The Untold Story
Sometimes life knocks you down harder than you ever imagined, but that doesn't have to be where your story ends.

This isn't just another cheerleading memoir. It's a raw confession, a powerful exposé, and a redemption story from one of the sport's most controversial figures. Written by Robert J. Scianna Jr., world champion cheerleader, breakout star, internationally celebrated choreographer, and a central figure in the Netflix Cheer Scandal that shocked the world. This book delivers what no one else has: the truth.

For the first time, Robert pulls back the curtain and reveals what really happened behind the headlines while taking full accountability. From the media's distorted narrative to the public shaming that followed, he offers an unfiltered account of the events that led to his arrest, the emotional fallout, and the relentless legal battles that ensued. It's a story of betrayal, misunderstanding, sexual abuse, and survival against a system more focused on preserving its image than uncovering real truth.

But this is about more than one scandal. It's about exposing the dark, unspoken realities of the cheerleading industry - a world where talent, ambition, and innocence collide with corruption, exploitation, and unchecked power. Robert sheds light on the toxic culture behind the surface, the pressures that push athletes past their breaking points, and the hidden costs of life in the spotlight.

Interwoven with these revelations is his deeply personal story: a childhood shaped by hardship, a meteoric rise to international ""cheerlebrity"" fame, and the emotional collapse that followed. He speaks vulnerably about battling mental health struggles, surviving abusive relationships, navigating trauma, and the complex road to rebuilding his life. Through it all, faith, accountability, and resilience became his lifeline.

Cheer: The Untold Story is a behind-the-scenes look at cheerleading, and a gripping journey through fame, failure, injustice, forgiveness, and redemption. It's a testimony for anyone who's ever been broken by life and fought their way back. Whether you're curious about the Netflix Cheer scandal, the hidden culture of fame, or the power of grace through suffering, this book will captivate you from beginning to end.

Step into the untold story from one of cheerleading's most controversial figures; a fearless, heart-wrenching and truthful account of a champion's rise, fall, and fight to reclaim his soul.

Reviews for Cheer: The Untold Story

"" So impressed with this book. A raw look into what has happened in Roberts life up to this point. A cautionary tale of what needs to be improved in the industry and why. Every parent, cheer parent, gym owner, athlete, or anybody involved with children in sports should read this and understand what needs to change. I'm particularly impressed by him taking accountability for his mistakes in life and wanting to tell the real story of what happened when really it would have been easier to just fade into the shadows. It's pretty rare these days to hear the real raw unedited truth. I'm ready for book 2. "" ""Amazed by the vulnerability shared page after page. This book demonstrates strength, courage, struggle, and healing- all while working to maintain and grow in personal faith. Perspective is everything! If you've been in the cheer community- you know that we all have a story... I hope this book encourages all who take the time to read it to address the past and start the healing process from whatever lingering trauma that haunts the soul."" ""Such an eye opening easy read. I cannot put it down! Thank you Robert for sharing your story!"" ""I remember watching Robert on the documentary series on YouTube - it got me hooked and crossed my mind if I could ever do cheer (that didn't happen) but I think that anyone that watched that series would agree how much of a true inspiration Robert was. We need to appreciate the time, dedication, creativity, pain, blood, sweat and tears that goes into being a master of your craft... often times creating days that feel like ""trash"" into something meaningful and another step your journey. Now I actually don't read, I have never read a book in my life. I have diagnosed ADHD. So much to my surprise, I read this book on Kindle in just 6 hours. My result of reading: I have never felt such heartbreak and hurt about something other than my own experiences and adversity's as human being. My emotions were triggered from my own experiences outlined in this book which I have healed from (which have clear and precise trigger warnings). As I read this I have tears streaming down my face on public transport. How does one that has been an icon of a sport, a role model to the younger generation get this mistreatment and injustice from government agencies that are supposed to protect us. Robert is extremely unfiltered, raw, honest and direct in this book that I couldn't keep my ADHD brain away from. Right from the start to present. You will not only learn his journey but you will also learn the power of faith and spirituality that we should all read, take notes and apply into our daily lives. I personally want to thank Robert for continuing to be such an inspiration and role model even through his darkest days. This man is a SOLDIER who has fought his war and still here fighting in this dog eat dog world. Important to note: I personally do not know Robert. I have followed him since his younger years. I would highly recommend reading, learning and growing as this world needs more people like Robert.""
