'Below Deck': Charter guest Chelsea with mouth wired shut is a nightmare for Rachel

Many fans took to Twitter to call out Chelsea for her meltdowns and 'high maintenance' behavior

'Below Deck' crew and fans are no strangers to the bizarre demands of the charter guests. But the recent charter featuring a guest with her mouth wired shut due to medical reasons took the cake for both the crew members and the audience. Chelsea Gonella and her husband Michael Gonella chartered the luxury yacht to celebrate her birthday alongside her girlfriends.

Unfortunately for Chelsea right before the trip, she met with an accident while riding her bike which left her with a mouth injury. So, the doctors wired it shut and Chelsea was put on a liquid diet until her mouth healed. Despite her long treatment, Chelsea and her husband went ahead with their birthday celebration plans aboard the yacht. But they made several special requests to accommodate Chelsea's special needs. After setting afoot into My Seanna, Chelsea and Michale immediately met the chef Rachel Hargrove and explained to her that all food items needed to be pureed and strained for Chelsea. The charter guest also made it clear that she wanted all the meals that other guests were eating for her as well in a pureed form.

Chef Rachel took it up as a challenge and began working hard to whip up foods for the guests. She planned to serve them lobster, so she had to puree it and strain it which took some time. This unexpected delay in serving the food left Chelsea with severe hunger pangs and a massive meltdown. She was fuming at the crew for not serving her food on time and compared her wait for her meal to a homeless person walking by a restaurant.

Rachel was frustrated as well, as she had to go an extra mile to accommodate Chelsea's special diet. She explained how liquid diet doesn't mean simply throwing it into a blender and serving it to her. She shared how she has to add something to emulisfy the food and make it tasty, and all this took a bit of extra time. Unfortunately for Rachel, Chelsea didn't seem very understanding of all the hassles that she has to go through to serve the perfect liquid diet.

Many fans took to Twitter to call out Chelsea for her meltdowns and 'high maintenance' behavior. A fan tweeted, "Chelsea, with all due respect STFU! Everyone is bending over backwards with your wired mouth disaster & you’re making it worse by being a high-maintenance diva. Just go home! Zero sympathy at this point. #BelowDeck." "UH YEAH MAYBE IT WAS A MISTAKE?!? Why the actual hell would you ever think going on a yacht with your damn jaw wired shut was a good idea?!? Humans are such an embarrassment #BelowDeck stay home and drink a fucking smoothie ," wrote another fan. "This charter guest is the very definition of “champagne problems” you chose to go on a cruise well having a medical issue but then want everything right away when it takes time. My disabled self would love those problems lol #BelowDeck," pointed out a fan.

Another fan shared, "I dunno. If my jaw was wired shut & I knew I needed a instant food, I’d probably bring a ton of protein shakes or ensure with me, so I didn’t become a raging B like Chelsea. Whining abt waiting for her lobster to be puréed, like a homeless person #BelowDeck." "The charter guest upset about the food…maybe you should of canceled or rescheduled….I mean you probably have the money……self centered, narcissistic pain in the a**……….#BelowDeck," echoed a fan. "Chelsea should not be on vacation. She’s a nightmare and making everyone miserable. #BelowDeck," declared a fan.
