'Below Deck Sailing Yacht': Will Ashley force Gary for sex? Fans call it 'sexual harassment'

Fans were put off by Ashley's comments about pressurizing Gary into having sex with her and took to Twitter to call her out on it

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' star Ashley Marti is leaving no stone unturned to grab her co-star Gary King's attention. From throwing herself at him to hooking up with his employee Tom Pearson, Ashley did everything she could to get the first officer's attention, but sadly none of them worked.

Instead of showing any interest in Ashley, Gary went ahead and kissed her nemesis, Gabriela Barragan. This further triggered Ashley who began going around the yacht and telling anyone who cared to listen to her that she could have had Gary if she wanted to and made lofty claims of never losing to anybody. While Ashley's comments were extremely cringey, it was her borderline creepy claims that caught the fans' attention. After  Pearson was fired, Ashley declared that she was aware of the fact that Gary wasn't interested in her. However, she wasn't ready to give up just yet, so she claimed that if she applied enough 'pressure' then she might get what she wants. "If I put enough pressure on that situation I might get what i want," she boasted.
