‘Below Deck’ star Katie Flood defends Bri Muller as she criticizes Ellie Dubaich’s 'out of line' behavior
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Katie Flood, a star from 'Below Deck', recently voiced her support for Bri Muller while criticizing Ellie Dubaich's behavior as "out of line." The tension between Bri and Ellie on 'Below Deck Mediterranean' Season 9 started when Bri kissed deckhand Joe Bradley, despite Ellie’s interest in him. Although Bri quickly realized her mistake and apologized to Ellie, the situation continued to escalate, causing a rift between the two stews.
Katie, who has observed the drama unfold, firmly believes that Bri did everything she could to make things right. She pointed out that Bri's apology was sincere and came from a genuine place. Katie explained that while Ellie had every right to be upset initially, the way she continued to act and escalate the situation was inappropriate and unnecessary.
"You saw how she was treating Bri, what could Bri would've done differently I mean she was in a rough spot," Andy asked. "I honestly don't think Bri could've done anything differently, from the get-go, she went to Ellie and apologised when she realised Ellie was upset about the first night that her and Joe kissed. And I really feel Bri's apology was genuine," Katie responded. "Was Ellie allowed to be a little bit annoyed, 100 percent but the way she went abiotic it and how much it took it further was so out of line," she added.
As the season progresses, it remains to be seen how Bri and Ellie's relationship will evolve, but Katie's comments make it clear where she stands on the matter.
