‘Below Deck Med’ Season 9 star Aesha Scott disappointed with Bri Muller and Elena Dubaich’s drama
ATHENS, GREECE: Aesha Scott appears distressed by the mounting personal tensions between Bri Muller and Elena "Ellie" Dubaich. In the recent episode of 'Below Deck Mediterranean' Season 9, Aesha addressed the ongoing issues between her team members Bri and Ellie, mentioning their rivalry over deckhand Joe Bradley.
Talking of the rivalry between the stews, Aesha said, "Bri and Ellie just have this annoying rivalry that is circling around Joe [Bradley]." "You know, when people are emotionally distracted, it's not like you can discipline them out of their emotions," she further added.
Later in the episode, Ellie also disclosed to Aesha that Bri had been sleeping on the floor in Joe and Nathan's cabin. "This Bri situation is getting out of control," Ellie said. "She's sleeping on the freaking floor in the boys' cabin. She's telling me I'm belittling her," Ellie explained.
Later, Aesha questioned Ellie about the situation, to which Ellie simply replied with a brief 'no.' Their conversation was interrupted when a guest entered the room, prompting Aesha to remind everyone to stay focused on work for the time being and address personal matters later.
What happened between 'Below Deck Med' Season 9 stars Bri Muller and Elena Dubaich?
In the latest episode of 'Below Deck Med' Season 9, Ellie and Bri addressed their issues with each other in separate confessionals. Bri expressed her belief that Ellie was acting out of a sense of superiority, labeling it as a "power trip," and expressed visible frustration over Ellie's prior romantic involvement with Joe.
Meanwhile, Ellie expressed her frustration with Bri, feeling that Bri consistently failed to listen actively to her perspective and disregarded her feelings. The tension between the two crew members continued to escalate as they struggled to find common ground and resolve their differences.
Tensions began to escalate as soon as it became evident that both women harbored feelings for Joe, but the situation reached a boiling point in Episode 5 after Bri and Joe shared an unexpected kiss.
After the incident, Ellie told Bri, “You give zero f**ks about me. I would never break my friendship with you over a random f***ing guy. It was a snake move.” “The last thing I want to be called is a snake. I never do anything with malice," Bri replied.
'Below Deck Med' Season 9 star Aesha Scott dishes on the stews drama
In a May 2024 interview with The Daily Dish, Aesha delved deeper into the circumstances, offering additional insight and elaborating on the details of the stews' situation.
"I think where I did really struggle — which you’ll see — was managing stews, my girls’ emotions. The stuff that stays in the crew mess was really hard to deal with. That was my biggest challenge of the season," Aesha said. Although there were some good aspects to her season, she faced challenges in her relationships with coworkers.
"Things go up in terms of me managing the work and the guest experiences and provisions, in terms of the actual day-to-day running of the boat. In terms of the crew dynamic, I would say things still go downhill. It was more managing my staff and relationships and emotions that challenged me this season rather than the actual chief stew work," she added.
