Below Deck Mediterranean‘s Aesha Scott is defending Gael Cameron from criticism about her almost hookup with Nathan Gallagher after only knowing one another for several days.
“It’s what it’s. That’s what they felt like doing on the time. The one thing that I’ll say in Gail’s defense because I do know that she probably will get a number of heat online of like, ‘Well, it didn’t take you very long,” Aesha exclusively told Us Weekly while weighing on on the season 9 drama. “As someone who was her roommate and witnessed her relationship along with her current boyfriend — when she got here on [the boat], that relationship was not in a fantastic stable situation.”
Aesha hinted that viewers didn’t see the entire story when it got here to Gael’s offscreen relationship.
“A number of the messages that he would send her and the best way that he would speak to her wasn’t very nice,” the chief stew noted. “And I believe that whole thing was very insecure to start out with they usually’d only been together a number of months.”
While reflecting on the situation, Aesha expressed her frustration at Gael’s then-boyfriend, adding, “I felt frustrated at her ex because I believe in case you really care about someone they usually get presented a possibility as amazing as coming on Below Deck, that you must be their biggest cheerleader.”
Aesha didn’t think Gael’s partner was supporting her the best way he must have been.
“You don’t need to cause them any worry. You don’t need to be the explanation that their mind is someplace else or they’re stressed about you back home. Even in case you are mad, stay Switzerland the entire time because you wish them to focus and be present one hundred pc and you ought to be supporting them in that,” she continued. “He just never, ever, ever supported her. And he or she was continuously having to fret about how he’s feeling and what he’s doing. I just found it so selfish.”

Earlier this season, Gael and Nathan surprised viewers once they tried to seek out a spot on the boat without cameras to satisfy. The pair didn’t initially confirm what their plans were but it surely was obvious they considered hooking up, despite Gael being in a relationship. The offscreen date — which didn’t occur because production caught on — also got here days after the deckhands met one another.
“What is true and what’s fallacious? Am I doing the appropriate thing or the fallacious thing?” Gael said in a confessional from the June episode. “Possibly I like him a little bit tiny bit. Possibly I just want to hang around with him a little bit bit. I’m not harming anyone.”
As soon as you step foot on a Below Deck Mediterranean charter yacht, you’re guaranteed one thing: a complete lot of drama. Throughout its Bravo run, crew members like Captain Sandy Yawn, Hannah Ferrier, Malia White and more have been know to butt heads with one another — all with the aim of delivering a […]
Gael and Nathan’s plans to interact without getting caught felt very paying homage to Eddie Lucas and Raquel “Rocky” Dakota‘s secret meetings during season 5 of Below Deck. The 2015 episodes were why production subsequently added cameras to the laundry room.
Meanwhile, Aesha didn’t have the identical concerns about her personal life due to her longterm relationship with Scott “Scotty” Dobson. Us broke the news in May that Aesha and Scott were engaged after several years of dating.
“It’s so special because as a number of people know, Scott and I do spend a lot time apart. He’s often in Breckenridge and I’m just flying around here, there and all over the place. I believe getting engaged just further solidified us as a unit even after we should not together on a regular basis,” she told Us. “I just got this sense of peace and contentment.”
The couple did have conversations about their future together, but Scott still surprised Aesha with the proposal.
“We talked about marriage very early on. But the largest thing is I wanted it to be a surprise. I don’t need to expect it in any respect. I didn’t suspect a thing,” she shared. “We would like to do a protracted engagement. We would like to [get married] within the Recent Zealand summer and never this summer but next summer. We’ve got a number of family and friends here so we would like to provide everyone a likelihood to save lots of up enough money to show it right into a proper holiday. You may’t go to Recent Zealand for 4 days.”
Below Deck has followed various relationships and flings throughout the franchise — but some stars found love with each other outside their seasons. Malia White‘s introduction to Below Deck Mediterranean in season 2 got here with a love triangle between Adam Glick and Wesley Walton. Although Malia and Wes gave their romance one other try offscreen — […]
Aesha also shared the key to creating long distance relationships work, adding, “We’re just very fortunate within the sense that we’re each very independent and it helps as well that we now have complete trust. We’re so stable that we all know with every ounce of our being that after we’re finished with the thing that we’re doing, we’ll be going back to that person and it should just carry on normal.”
She concluded: “I actually love having the balance of going and doing my very own thing and being completely alone after which coming back and having couple time. If I used to be with someone on a regular basis, I’d go a bit crazy because I just love going off and he’s the identical.”
Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 airs on Bravo Mondays at 9 p.m. ET. Recent episodes stream the subsequent day on Peacock.
