'Below Deck': Simone regrets opening up to Tanner after he kisses Kate, says he 'played' her
Rhylee Gerber decided to be there for Simone Mashile when the rest of the crew were busy setting up the boat for the next guest. Rhylee asked Simone how she was feeling about Tanner Sterback kissing Kate Chastain on the boat. Simone confessed that she did not like the fact that it happened and even though she knew things with Tanner weren't serious, she did not expect him to treat her the way he did.
Simone and Tanner hooked up on the deck for some time but the pair knew there was nothing serious about their relationship. However, Simone felt comfortable talking to him and decided to open up to him. Even though she knew that there was nothing serious happening between them she thought it wouldn't harm her if she let him on a few things about her life.
But now, Simone regrets taking that decision. Looking back at how guys in her life have treated her, Simone revealed that she expected Tanner to be different. She took a page out of her life and recalled how her father abandoned her brother and her while they were growing up. She added that since then she has been having a hard time judging guys.
However, when it came to Tanner, she thought things would be different. Unfortunately, it wasn't the case. She admits feeling like she was played by him and added that it was "disrespectful". Simone further revealed that she wasn't surprised Tanner and Kate kissed.
She revealed when everyone got on board, initially, Tanner used to flirt with Kate. This made Simone less surprised that the two were flirting with each other yet again. Rhylee tried to explain to Simone that Kate was just playing around and advised her not to hold any grudges against her. Simone added that she felt bad about opening up to Tanner but she was ready to move on from what had happened.
'Below Deck' airs on Mondays at 9 pm ET on Bravo.
