'Below Deck' Season 8 slammed after guests eat sushi off a naked model, fans call it 'demeaning and degrading'

'Below Deck' Season 8 is bringing in the heat. Often, it's the crew drama that makes it interesting but this time it's the charter guests who seem to be all about the theatrics. After Charlie and his group of friends made James Hough twerk in a sparkly speedo and used him as a Jell-O shot table, the new set of guests want a naked sushi model so that they can eat sushi off her body. While the demand had put the crew under stress Francesca Rubi pulled it off.
However, fans didn't quite like that the guests would ask for something so "demeaning" and "gross." Some even took to social media to point out that the trend of eating sushi off a human body has faded long ago. However, they were appreciative of chef Rachel Hargrove's skills. Some said her mastery was wasted on the guests because they couldn't enjoy the sushi the way it was supposed to be. The batches of sushi looked appetizing, to say the least. "Eating sushi off of a naked person seems both demeaning and weird to me. #BelowDeck," a user commented, while another shared: "These entitled little shits eating sushi off a naked woman for a laugh makes me stabby. #belowdeck."

"Sushi on a naked girl for dinner. Gross #BelowDeck," a viewer pointed out. "How f**king dare you @belowdeck #belowdeck I understand she signed up for it but to have guests eating sushi off of a human being is fucking disgusting and degrading," another posted. "Who the F**K wants to eat sushi off a naked person?? Thats so gross. These kids are just ridiculous. Just bc you have the money to spend doesn't mean you should buy it. Plus, it's so degrading. #BelowDeck," a fan tweeted, "That poor girl having to lay there covered in sushi. Not cool. #BelowDeck," another expressed.

Clearly, no one was in favor of watching a naked woman lie infront of a group of people while they use her as a plate in which food has been served.
