‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ Newcomer Mads Herrera Is a Thrill-Seeker at Heart

Published April 11 2023, 10:57 a.m. ET

The Parsifal III is sailing full speed ahead! Season 4 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht is finally here, and the newest installment of Bravo’s Below Deck spinoff is already bringing the drama.

With Captain Glenn Shephard, Daisy Kellier, Gary King, and Colin MacRae gracing our screens once again, and a few new cast members aboard, the fourth installment of the reality series is guaranteed to rock the boat.

One of the new stews, Mads Herrera , is already rocking the Parsifal III this season.

“I wouldn’t be opposed to screwing the crew,” the reality star admits in the Season 4 trailer . “Provided they know how to screw.”

With a thrill-seeking background and flirtatious personality, Mads is bound to make some waves on Below Deck Sailing Yacht . Let’s meet her now.

Who is Mads Herrera on ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’? Meet the Season 4 stew.

Mads is one of the new Below Deck Sailing Yacht stews in Season 4. Hailing from South Florida, the reality star spent most of her childhood around the water, making her decision to enter the maritime industry an obvious choice.

While she doesn’t have as much experience as Daisy, Gary, or Colin — she has worked on yachts for two years — her eager attitude positions her as an ideal third stew in the latest installment of the Below Deck spinoff.

What is Mads Herrera’s career and educational background?

With two years of experience, Mads is relatively new to the yachting industry. Before boarding the Parsifal III and becoming part of the Bravo reality TV world, the new reality star worked on boat deliveries and day charters. According to her Bravo bio , Mads is looking forward to challenging herself by stepping into the charter yacht territory.

As for the Below Deck Sailing Yacht stew’s educational background, there isn’t much information available. However, Mads’ Instagram hints that she attended the University of Louisville in 2017.

“Different day, same mood. Frick Clemson,” she wrote in a post with the Kentucky college tagged as the location.

Mads Herrera from ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ is a thrill-seeker outside of the show.

When the South Floridian isn’t chartering yachts, she loves a good ‘ole fashioned adrenaline rush. Mads enjoys everything from riding dirt bikes to skydiving in her free time. The Below Deck Sailing Yacht stew also shares snapshots of her snowboarding escapades on Instagram.

Aside from getting her blood pumping through extreme sports, the reality star loves traveling far and wide. From Bali to Punta Cana to Yellowstone, Mads doesn’t shy away from posting photos of her adventures on social media.

Catch Mads in Season 4 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , airing Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht 's Mads Slams Gary Following Their Casual Boatmance

On part one of below deck sailing yacht 's dramatic season four reunion, mads herrera defended casually hooking up with gary king and not taking her fling with the deck lead more serious..

Gary King 's fling with Mads Herrera ? That ship has definitely sailed.

Following their no-strings-attached  season four boatmance , the Below Deck Sailing Yacht costars confronted each other about their casual hookups during the Bravo series' July 17 reunion episode.

Today, Mads maintains she was just having fun and never wanted anything serious with the deck lead.

"I am a very detached kind of person and I like to stay in control of situations," she told host Andy Cohen , "and I personally felt in control of the situation."

However, Gary seemed to think Mads was more interested in him than she admitted.

"It was strange because she would come into my bed every night and try to have sex with me," he claimed, "so that's what puzzled my mind, to be honest with you."

The jab did not sit well with Mads, who angrily fired back, "F--king please, you're really gonna say that?" 

Gary's response? "Well, that's exactly what happened as far as I remember," he said. "I went to bed a few times and you decided to jump into my bed."

And while Mads noted, "I'm not gonna even argue because he hasn't watched the season," Gary did admit the attraction was mutual.

"Don't get me wrong, I was into you, Mads," he added. "I'm not gonna deny that."

However, Mads was still upset Gary tried to blame her entirely for their boatmance. As she noted, "Just don't say I was the one initiating all of it."

Andy likened Mads and her casual outlook to the "female Gary" of the Parsifal III because of Gary's history of hooking up with so many co-workers.

"I'm not the female Gary because I'm very direct," she retorted. "I said it straight from the start and throughout the whole time. I am having fun. If you didn't understand that, I'm sorry."

As for where Gary stands today with Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher following their messy season five love triangle with Chief Engineer Colin MacRae ? Fans will have to tune in to part two of the Below Deck Sailing Yacht reunion on Tuesday, July 18, at 8 p.m. to find out.

Below Deck’s Hannah Ferrier Has Us Feeling Old With Photos of Daughter Ava Who Looks All Grown Up

Below Deck Mediterranean alum Hannah Ferrier shared new photos of 3-year-old daughter Ava that have Us feeling old.

“My kid just got her first haircut… AUGH,” Ferrier, 37, captioned an Instagram post earlier this month, which featured photos of Ava’s new hairstyle.

Bravo fans took to the comments section to point out how Ferrier’s daughter with husband Josh Roberts looks all grown up.

“What happened to the baby? 😮,” wrote one follower while another added, “Wait… when did she get so big? Shouldn’t she still be a baby 😢 she’s your twin!”

Others also commented how Ava was “growing up so fast” as Ferrier continues to document major milestones with her mini-me. Ferrier expanded her family with Roberts after leaving Below Deck Mediterranean in 2020.

Before her shocking onscreen departure, Ferrier opened up about her relationship with Roberts, telling the cameras during season 5, “This is definitely the first relationship that I actually see some longevity and potentially getting married and making babies and having a family.”

Ferrier was subsequently fired by Captain Sandy Yawn — who has recently revealed that the pair have mended their falling out . Meanwhile, Ferrier announced her pregnancy on the night of the season 5 premiere and welcomed her and Roberts’ daughter later that year.

The couple have since gotten engaged and tied the knot in March 2022 with Ava taking part in their wedding as a flower girl. Ferrier previously admitted she wasn’t in a rush to expand her family again after Ava’s arrival.

“Josh has [thought of baby No. 2], but I’m on the fence still,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2021. “I think I still have PTSD. I had a really traumatic labor. So, I don’t know.”

Hannah Ferrier Bought Rolex With Cash After Below Deck Firing

What do you do after getting fired from the hit reality TV show that made you famous? Take the tip money and go crazy on a luxury purchase of course! Hannah Ferrier recently admitted to treating herself while en route back home from filming.

Below Deck Mediterranean fans spent a lot of time discussing Hannah’s termination, the events leading up to it, and whether it was warranted. She was filmed calling her now-husband on the dock after Captain Sandy Yawn decided to fire her. Then, she walked off with her luggage. But the Australian native never revealed much about her trip home afterward. Until now.

Hannah Ferrier “knew” she was done with yachting

Hannah shared the tidbit on Instagram when a fellow social media user questioned who the luxury shops, such as Prada and Balenciaga, at airport terminals are marketed for.

“Who exactly are airport shops for? Like imagine going oops, forgot to grab a Prada bag and a Rolex that I totally need for my flight,” the post read.

The former Below Deck Med chief stew shared a screenshot to her stories and shared the story of her flight home after being fired on Season 5.

“ME! So funny story – after I was fired from Below Deck, I had a stopover in Germany on my way home. And I knew in my heart that I was never going to work on yachts again. So I took all my tip money into Rolex and bought one in cash,” Hannah responded.

The former Bravolebrity indeed did not return to the network or Below Deck Med. She did, however, end up filming on a yacht again. Hannah starred on The Real Love Boat, which aired in 2022.

Bravo is hard-pressed to find a replacement for Hannah. No chief stew cast since returned for a second season, though there is hope that her former protege Aesha Scott will break the cycle.

The Big Picture

• Captain Jason Chambers hinted at the debut of Below Deck Down Under Season 3 on social media.
• Fans are excited for the return of the show, especially after the success of Season 2.
• Chambers previously mentioned challenges with pay and work opportunities outside the show.

Fans have been waiting for an update on Below Deck Down Under . The show began in March of 2022 and Season 2 premiered in July of 2023 . We have yet to get official news on when Season 3 of the reality series would be coming our way but it seems as if our trusted captain gave hints as to when the show would be debuting. Led by Captain Jason Chambers , Below Deck Down Under took Bravo fans to the Great Barrier Reef and navigated their guests through the archipelago to the Queensland coast and all around Australia. Despite the beautiful scenery of the show, it was filled with the same Below Decks drama fans expect.

The show has been on a hiatus though and fans wondered when news would drop for Season 3 of the series. That news is coming in hints from Chambers . Recently, he has been commenting on the Instagram posts of Chef Tzarina Mace-Ralph . Chambers and Mace-Ralph posted a picture together of themselves in Los Angeles and Chambers commented on it, writing "Below deck down under crew in LA, does this mean our season is getting closer to the screens? Mmm I wonder?"

The hint was enough to get fans excited again ( especially since fans loved season 2 ) and one user followed up Chambers' comment by asking on his Instagram posts, "When will we see you back in Below Deck???!" Chambers replied to the fan with a heart emoji, writing "Soon," in response. There has been no official word from Bravo on why Chambers and Mace-Ralph were in Los Angeles or when Season 3 of the series will come out.

Capt. Chambers Has Called Out Bravo's Pay in the Past

Chambers' return to the show was up in the air for fans. Despite the show's success, no one knew whether or not the show would continue or if Chambers would still be the captain . In the past, Chambers made a comment about the pay he got from being on Below Deck Down Under . Captured by Bravohusband on Reddit , Chambers reportedly said " t he show pays virtually nothing until you get a few seasons." In the Reddit post, it also claims that Chambers stated that while working on the show, he cannot find work as a captain outside of it . “I can’t work in between, as captains are full-time. No owner wants a revolving captain.” That fact is one that isn't widely known by Bravo fans. Despite this, he's said that he is "100% committed" to the series.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

Below deck mediterranean season 9 shows captain sandy’s selfish side (she’s inconsiderate), i'm convinced below deck mediterranean solidified chef johnathan shillingford as a producer plant (he’s getting special treatment).

• Ruan continues working in yachting post-Below Deck drama, showcases training to become a boxer.
• Ruan's brief stint on Below Deck Med ended due to forged documents, unlikely to return to the franchise.
• Despite being fired early on the show, Ruan has moved up to become a yacht captain and started his own YouTube channel.

Ruan Irving was one of the quickest-fired crew members ever from Below Deck Mediterranean season 8, and a lot has happened in his life since the show. Below Deck Med , the first spin-off of Below Deck, premiered in 2016. The beloved reality series follows the lives of crew members working on superyachts. To ensure the success of everyone onboard, the exterior and interior teams must work together with the guidance of their captains. Captain Sandy Yawn led Below Deck Med when she hired Ruan as her bosun , the leading role of the exterior deck team.

The season had a lot of drama, including Natalya Scudder and Tumi Mhlongo’s feud that tainted Below Deck Med season 8 ; the majority of the cast did not blend well together. Kyle Viljoen was a meddler in most of the conflict, perpetuating the friction between Natalya and Tumi as stew and chief stew, respectively. Overall, season 8 felt weak in comparison to past seasons with Captain Sandy’s former Chief Stew Hannah Ferrier. Below Deck Med season 8 was a letdown plagued by weak storylines, and Ruan played a part in its demise.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

Ruan Still Works In The Yachting Industry

Ryan hasn’t given up on his career since a rough start on below deck med.

Going into Below Deck Med season 8, Ruan had 10 years of yachting experience, per Bravo TV . Since leaving the show, Ruan has continued working in the industry . His Instagram page is full of pictures of him enjoying the outdoors and driving boats. In one post, Ruan shared an image of himself wearing a black yachting uniform while driving a boat. “ Captain chaos ,” he captioned the picture, which aligned well with his trajectory on Below Deck Med season 8. He has not returned to another stint on Below Deck , which may be for the best.

Is Ruan Becoming a Boxer?

Ryan has been training in the gym since the show.

Since appearing in an episode of Below Deck Med , Ruan appears to be training to become a boxer. He showcases his progress in the gym on his Instagram page. Notably, he posts pictures and videos of himself training in boxing. Ruan refers to himself as a “ Boxer ” and “ Content dabbler ” in his Instagram bio. He’s picked up the hobby since appearing on the show. In one video, Ruan shared a picture of himself in the gym with former pro boxer Freddie Roach . “ Training at @wildcardboxingclub with the legend himself @freddieroach! ” he wrote in the caption of the photo.

Ruan's Journey On Below Deck Mediterranean

Ruan was on one episode of below deck med season 8.

Ruan had a short and not-so-sweet journey on Below Deck Med season 8. Going into the charter season, Captain Sandy hired him as her bosun. He hadn’t appeared in any prior seasons or franchises of Below Deck , meaning there was a lot to be learned about him as a crew member. During the first episode of season 8, Captain Sandy discovered an issue with his paperwork. He only had photocopies of his original paperwork, and an officer said that his medical license was “ not certified .”

This was a massive red flag, as the boat could be detained if an employee didn’t have their original paperwork. Photocopies would not suffice in this instance. It seemed as though Ruan’s documents were forged . When Captain Sandy scanned his Yachtmasters, a completely different person’s photo came up . She called him in to talk about his documents, and he said, “ a guy came on the boat, and he issued us our tickets .” He left the yacht intending to return but called Captain Sandy and said he wasn’t.

“Sorry about this captain but I don’t think I am going to get the ticket sorted in time. I don’t want to hold the vessel up any longer, I am just going to go back home.”

After the fact, Ruan took to his Instagram to explain his point of view on the document scandal. He said all of his hard copies were in South Africa and that he typically never travels with them. “ The show had copies of certified copies because I sent them copies as requested ,” he said. Ruan added that he left the boat to attend the funeral of his best friend’s brother when they were filming Below Deck Med season 8. In the caption, he said he got the devastating call when they began filming and decided to leave the show.

Will Ruan Ever Return To Below Deck Mediterranean?

It’s unclear if ruan will return to the franchise.

Ruan would like to return to Below Deck Med . In an interview with Kieron Williams on his and Ruan ’s Instagram, he said he’d love to make a comeback . “ For me, Below Deck, a redeem myself season is definitely in the pipeline ,” he revealed. Ruan is one of the biggest Below Deck clout chasers ever ; he was only on one episode and still wears his appearance as a badge of honor. In his Instagram bio, Ruan tagged “ @bravotv ,” serving as a marker that he was on a Bravo show, even though he left after a couple of episodes.

If he ever came back to Below Deck , it would likely not be on the Med franchise. Captain Sandy has admitted she’s not keen on Ruan returning to the show . In an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen , a virtual fan asked if she would want Ruan to work for her again. “ No ,” she said. “ Not in a million years .” Captain Sandy does not have a problem with firing inadequate crew members. Ruan made a mistake before the charter season began, disappointing his captain. He will likely never be on Below Deck Med again.

What is Ruan Up To Now?

Since Ruan likely won't return to Below Deck Med in the future, he's been focusing on his life after the show. As Ruan has since moved up in the ranks from bosun to yacht captain, he has enjoyed a bit more freedom in his life. The public humiliation he went through luckily didn't affect his personal life or his career. In fact, Ruan is doing better than ever since getting fired from Below Deck Med . Besides his work as a yacht captain, Ruan has his own YouTube channel .

It's called RUDAWG TV, and so far, he only has one video, which was uploaded two months ago. The video is 10 minutes long and shows Ruan and his coworkers taking a dive and going wake-surfing after work . Ruan received a few comments in the comment section of people praising Ruan for what he's done post- Below Deck Med . So, while Ruan has stepped away from the reality TV limelight, he still has some prospects related to the entertainment industry through his YouTube channel.

If Ruan continues with it, he could be a success. Judging from the first video, Ruan is good at creating content, especially when it comes to water-related activities. His role as a bosun and now yacht captain has really helped Ruan expand his career into something more directly related to entertainment . Who knew getting fired from a popular reality TV show would allow Ruan to create content that he not only enjoys but has also found an audience for?

Ruan is one of the oddest personalities to appear on Below Deck Med . He joined season 8 as the first bosun but was fired by episode 1 because of forged documents. Despite barely being on the show, Ruan continues to parade around his brief stint for clout. Ruan will probably not come back to Below Deck Med , and if he did, that would be a casting decision outside of left field.

Below Deck Mediterranean airs Monday at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.

Below Deck Mediterranean is a Bravo reality television series that follows a crew that works aboard a gigantic superyacht during the busy season. The show highlights the challenges of the crew as they serve their high-end clientele. Each season tackles new locations, such as Greece, Croatia, Italy, and France, with some repeating.

Mads Herrera Bio, Age, Boyfriend, Family, Below Deck

Meet Mads Herrera, or full name Madison Herrera, as she features as one of the stews on Season 4 of  Below Deck Sailing Yacht . In this season of Below Deck , Mads and the other yachties sail around Sardinia, Italy.

So, in this writing called ‘Mads Herrera Bio’, let us tell you who Mads is, about her age, family background, dating life, Below Deck journey, and more.

Mads Herrera On Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 follows Captain Glenn Shephard and his team, including a mix of original yachties and newbies, as they take on what could be their most heated charter season yet.

On this yacht, Mads Herrera joins as one of the two stews. (Another is Lucy Edmunds .) These are joined by other new crew members: Chef Ileisha Dell and deckhands Chase Lemacks and Alex Propson . Together, they join Captain Glenn as he leads the crew to Sardinia, Italy, on his long-running yacht: Parsifal III. Others on the sail are once again returning Daisy Kelliher, Gary King, and Colin MacRae.

According to Mads’s Bio on Bravo, she spends much of her time in the water and on yachts. So, it was only natural she ended up in the maritime industry. Also, Mads shared that she comes with two years of experience of working on day charters and boat deliveries, and living life in the fast line traveling the world, riding dirt bikes, and sky diving.

As of 2017, Mads was likely still studying at the University of Louisville.

How Much Is Mads Herrera’s Net Worth?

Mads Herrera reportedly had below $200K net worth as of April 2023.

While we don’t yet know about her salary from other places, she is expected to make quite a hefty earning from doing her superyacht job in Below Deck .

According to Refinery29, Mads as a third steward should make $5,000 per month on approx. Also, there is this ritual that at the end of every charter, the whole crew also receives tips from the guests in addition to their salary. In the past, a Below Deck crew has usually brought in around $15,000 per person in tips for about six weeks of work.

Mads Herrera Age

Mads Herrera was born before 1999. So, she should have reached the age of 23 at the most in 2022.

Mads Herrera Family

Mads Herrera is really private when it comes to telling the world about revealing her family’s whereabouts and all. She is just too protective of them, especially now that she has decided to be on TV. So, it is understandable that she keeps her family’s identity away from the prying eyes to ensure their privacy.

The only thing she chose to reveal is that she has a brother and he is called Alexander Herrera. Also, he can be found on IG @alexanderherrera .

Does Mads Herrera Have A Boyfriend?

Mads Herrera’s relationship status was unknown at the time of this writing.

Her social media however give away the vibe that she is not seeing anyone as her activities here mostly involve her life as an adventurist. So, when we say Mads has been careful not to share details about her personal life on social media, that also includes her dating life. Thus far, she has not projected herself as someone committed to a relationship.

If Mads indeed did not have a boyfriend during her Below Deck days, she would have had her own love journey on the show, as the yacht in every season is used to having its fair share of love triangles and hookups.

This season’s trailer for the upcoming season of the Bravo series also teases some hot hookups, also stirring jealousy. Mads, for instance, is seen flirting with both first mate Gary King and another new cast member Alex Propson. In fact, she even gets caught steamily kissing both.

Then, maybe when she was confronted she explained herself as “I’m not flirting, that’s just my personality.”

So, like that, season 4 of Bravo’s hit show promises love triangles, clashes, a near-collision, and an abundance of drama. There is also one expected between Chief Stew Daisy and Chief Engineer Colin.

Mads Herrera Height

Mads Herrera with a passion for fitness workouts and outdoor adventure stands below 5’4” in height.

If you also need to know, she also sports a couple of tattoos on her body.

‘Below Deck’ Accused of Covering Up Gary King’s Sexual Misconduct

By Krystie Lee Yandoli

Krystie Lee Yandoli

Bravo ’s Below Deck was recently lauded for its handling of sexual misconduct when a producer on Below Deck Down Under broke the “fourth wall” and intervened when one cast member, Luke Jones, tried to get into bed naked with another cast member, Margot Sisson, without her consent while she was inebriated and passed out. Not only was Luke fired from the show, but their fellow cast member and stewardess, Laura Bileskalne, was also let go because of victim-blaming comments she made to Margot about the incident and her own line-crossing pursuit of deckhand Adam Kodra.

While viewers and fans of the show applauded the pivotal on-screen moment, production crew members who have worked on the popular, Emmy-nominated franchise say they’ve experienced and witnessed sexual harassment and misconduct from other cast members behind the scenes without seeing any real accountability.

Suarez says she met King for the first time when the cast and crew arrived in Sardinia in preparation to film the fourth season. Crew members stayed in the same hotel, the DoubleTree by Hilton Olbia-Sardinia, for the whole duration of filming. Cast members joined them and stayed in the same hotel prior to filming charters on the yacht  and on the few “dark days” during the season when no one in production or the cast worked.

One “dark day” in July when the cast members were staying at the hotel, Suarez accompanied an inebriated King back to his hotel room after he filmed his interviews for the show, where she says producers provided him with a substantial amount of alcohol.

“There is no limit to alcohol consumption whatsoever, which I think poses a really big problem,” she says.

Suarez says when King asked her not to leave she joked with him that she would sit outside of his door to make sure he wouldn’t leave his hotel room. According to Suarez, King then suggested she get in bed with him and repeatedly asked her not to leave his room even though she says he was aware that she was in a relationship with someone else. After a few minutes, she insisted she had to leave and help other cast members, telling King she would return later to drop off snacks and water. She says when she went back to King’s room with a case of water bottles and a bag of snacks, she knocked on the door and King answered the door in his underwear. She says she asked King to take the case of water out of her hands and he continued to ask her not to leave his hotel room.

“I was like, ‘I have to go — I need to go bring other people water and food,’ and he’s like, ‘No, no, please,’” Suarez says. “So I stepped into the room to set the case of waters down and again, he’s repeating, ‘Don’t leave,’ and I was like, ‘I have to go, I’m not staying.’”

“At that point, I didn’t know what was going to happen. I was freaking out,” Suarez says. “It just happened so fast.”

In that same moment, Suarez says she received a phone call from the talent manager and answered it. She says that’s when King let go of the door and she stepped into the hallway to take the call.

“I’m freaking out, and he goes, ‘What’s wrong? What’s going on?’ And I’m like, ‘Just leave me alone.’ He tried to come up behind me and put his arm around me. He’s in the hallway in his underwear and it’s all weird and fucked up, and so I’m just like, ‘Just go back in your room and don’t come out.’”

“I’m freaking out, and he goes, ‘What’s wrong? What’s going on?’ And I’m like, ‘Just leave me alone.’“

Suarez says she immediately told producers what happened following the incident when she saw them in the production office. The next day, she says a co-executive producer reached out to her and they had a conversation about what happened. After Suarez spoke with the co-executive producer she says she had another meeting with him, executive producers Courtland Cox and Vivian Choi, as well as the show’s talent manager. She says she told the producers she didn’t feel comfortable being around King, she didn’t want to do his hair or makeup, and she didn’t want to be alone with him or in the same room as him. She says Cox apologized to her and said the producers would have a conversation with King, assuring Suarez that King would be fired from the show if any other incidents occurred. She says the next day producers removed King from the hotel where the rest of the cast and crew members were staying and for the rest of the “dark days” during filming, he was instructed to sleep on the boat.

“It pretty much sucked from there on out,” Suarez says. “I was just in a super depressive state.”

King declined to comment for this story. A spokesperson for Bravo told Rolling Stone in a statement, “Bravo is committed to maintaining a safe and respectful workplace for cast and crew on our reality shows. We require our third-party production companies to have appropriate workplace policies and trainings in place and a clear process on how to report concerns.  The concerns Ms. Suarez raised in July 2022 were investigated at that time and action was taken based on the findings.”

“With any complaint filed, a timely investigation is launched and, based on the findings, appropriate actions are implemented to ensure the safety of our cast and crew, up to and including termination. With regard to the incident reported by Ms. Suarez involving Mr. King, the case was investigated and reviewed as soon as it was submitted, and production acted accordingly based on the results.”

According to Saurez, she stayed inside her hotel room for a week following the incident with King and didn’t immediately return to work because she says she was upset, depressed, and her mental health declined; she says she even debated going home and not finishing out the rest of the season.

At the time, Suarez also reached out to Zach Klein, the COO of 51 Minds Entertainment, to report the incident. In emails reviewed by Rolling Stone , Suarez detailed the incident to Klein and wrote: 

“[King] comes up behind me, puts his arms around me, holds me against his body, physically restraining me from leaving, and says stuff like no don’t go. I get out of his grip, tell him again that I have to leave, that I am not staying, and I go reach for the door knob and he comes over and puts both his hands on the door, with his whole weight, to push it shut. This whole time he’s laughing. I ask him to please let me out of the room, that I have to go. I then get a phone call from [the talent manager]. He sees and hears that I answer and he finally moves away from the door, allowing me to open it. I step outside, not even able to listen to what [the talent manager] is saying to me because I’m so overwhelmed at that point, and Gary grabs his room key, comes out of his room, again, is only in his underwear, letting the door close behind him.”

After emailing Klein, emails reviewed by Rolling Stone confirm that an HR representative for Banijay America, the parent company of 51 Minds, reached out to Suarez and asked her to have a conversation. Suarez says she spoke to the HR representative who then arranged for her to speak with a counselor. Suarez says the HR representative stayed in touch with her for the remainder of the season and told her the company was conducting an investigation into the incident; at one point, Suarez says the representative told her she spoke to other crew members and to King about what allegedly happened.

Later in the season, Suarez says the HR representative also asked her not to talk about the incident with other production staffers because “it was becoming water cooler talk” on set and it seemed like Suarez was “trying to rally the troops” against the show. Saurez says she wasn’t even alongside her fellow crew members in the week following the incident but because of her absence, people reached out to her and asked her why she wasn’t on set. Suarez says she told the HR representative that she explained what happened to the people who reached out to her and asked for clarification about whether or not she was “allowed” to talk about the incident with her colleagues. Suarez says the rep told her yes, she was allowed to, but discouraged her from doing it.

In later conversations, Suarez says she expressed to executive producers that she was upset about how the situation was addressed. She says executive producers responded by saying they originally offered to fire King from the show when the alleged incident happened. Suarez says she wanted leadership to make that decision based on the information they had and not put the responsibility on her to say whether or not she wanted King fired, especially since she didn’t actually have the power to enforce that decision. After the incident, Suarez says she only saw King in passing a couple of times around the hotel but that they never directly interacted or communicated.

“He’s next-level scary with women,” they say. 

Three other people who did not work for 51 Minds Entertainment, NBC, or Below Deck spoke to Rolling Stone and say that Suarez told them about the alleged incident with King at the time.

Another crew member who requested anonymity out of fear of repercussions tells Rolling Stone later in this same season, they witnessed King grab a female cast member’s butt and continue to touch her inappropriately even though she said, “No,” and told him to stop. While filming at a beach club in Sardinia, the crew member says King was inebriated and they also witnessed King grab another production crew member’s genitals. During off days in between charters, Below Deck typically films cast members partying on and off the boat in their free time. It’s common to see cast members drunk and engage in sexual activity with one another on camera. 

The crew member says they reported the issue on their walkie talkie, which they use to communicate with the executive producer, director, and other people working in the control room. According to production crew members, there’s a control room set up in one of the guest rooms on the boat where producers monitor live footage. When they’re filming on location off the boat, they set up an area nearby that acts as a control room.

“The girl was literally saying, ‘No, stop, don’t,’” the crew member says. “I’m explaining this over my walkie and no one’s acknowledging it.”

“The girl was literally saying, ‘No, stop, don’t.’ I’m explaining this over my walkie and no one’s acknowledging it.“

They say a producer eventually approached King and told him to stop. After the producer spoke to him, the crew member says King walked over to a camera operator who was on a break and grabbed his genitals. 

The crew member says these incidents were filmed but didn’t air on television. They say they’re not sure what happened to the footage of King’s alleged behavior or other footage that the production company doesn’t end up using for TV. Typically, the crew member says, producers and editors have access to raw footage filmed in the field at least until the editing stage.

“I had to promote and make this guy who just assaulted someone look awesome,” they say. “That was my job, to make this person look cool, capable, and exciting.” 

The production crew member says after they were vocal about witnessing King’s alleged harassment on set throughout filming, they were not asked to return to the show after working for different iterations of the Below Deck franchise for years. Suarez also says she thinks she was retaliated against for reporting King’s behavior to the production company and that’s why she wasn’t asked to return to the show. Suarez says while King got to stay on Below Deck without consequences, she lost the opportunity to work after reporting the alleged misconduct. For Suarez, there wasn’t enough done to remove King from the show or hold him accountable after he allegedly exhibited inappropriate behavior toward her and other women.

“You’re an executive producer on the show and you’re not even worried that your cast member put his hands on me and is being a creep currently while being on TV?” Suarez says. “Somebody shouldn’t be able to keep a platform for being a gross creep.”

Productions’ handling of the incident with King exhibited a pattern to Suarez who says she told a producer about a separate incident that allegedly occurred when she filmed Below Deck Season 10. She says she was put in charge of accompanying the male cast members from a car to their hotel and bosun Ross McHarg made her feel uncomfortable.

“He was just making these weird, lewd, sexual, gross comments toward me to the point where the other boys in the car were like, ‘Shut up Ross, why are you saying these things to her?’” Suarez says. “There was stuff like that that I expressed to production as well and, you know, nothing happened thereafter.” (McHarg did not respond to requests for comment.)

According to Suarez and three other staffers who worked in production for Below Deck , someone from HR delivers a sexual harassment and cultural sensitivity training before each season. Producers also allegedly tell staffers if something goes awry during filming to communicate it on their walkie talkies and someone in the control room will respond. At the beginning of the season, crew members say they’re also explicitly told not to break the “fourth wall” and interact with cast members under any circumstances.

“For a show like this where there is alcohol and sex involved, I think there should be an intimacy coordinator-type position on these shows or something like that,” one crew member says. “There should be some accountability and some standardization practice where it’s not just up to some dude [in the control room] who has been producing television for 20 years.”

Inspired by the SAG strike, former Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel has been vocal about what she calls the mistreatment of reality stars by networks and her desire for talent to unionize for better protections. Earlier in August, lawyers on behalf of a handful of unnamed reality stars sent a letter to NBCUniversal accusing the company of manipulation, covering up instances of sexual violence, and other claims regarding their reality shows. The purpose of the letter was to ask NBCUniversal to hold possible evidence ahead of litigation.

Suarez also thinks there should be protocols for crew members to follow when they witness or experience sexual harassment or misconduct from a cast member or anyone else on set.

“Why can’t you just get on TV and be like, ‘Gary had to be removed from the show for his misconduct?’ If anything, that would make me respect the producers and the show and everything a lot more if they were just honest instead of trying to sweep things under the rug, which is what feels like happened.”

Mads Herrera Below Deck Sailing Yacht

The fourth season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht has a mix of familiar and new faces. The season will debut on April 10 and was filmed in the waters around Sardinia, Italy. The crew will once more try to provide the charter guests with the best vacations under the leadership of Captain Glenn Shephard.

Mads Herrera, a newcomer, will serve as the third stewardess on the yacht Parsifal III. In the trailer, Mads jokes with herself after saying that she wouldn’t be opposed to screwing the crew. It’s possible that a male cast member mistook her first “personality” for flirtation.

Mads was born and raised in South Florida, yet she has worked his way throughout the world. She enjoys outdoor activities like skiing. Herrera has 1699 followers on Instagram despite having only 24 posts, and she seldom ever discusses her personal life.

She has worked on numerous day charters and boat deliveries during her two years of sailing. She is excited about the new challenges of working aboard a charter sailboat.

The Below Deck Sailing Yacht will welcome five new crew members, including chefs ILeisha Dell, Chase Lemacks, Mads Herrera, and stews Lucy Edmunds and Mads Herrera. Captain Glenn Shephard, First Officer Gary King, Chief Engineer Colin MacRae, and Chief Stew Daisy Calliher are among the cast members who are returning.

The brief 3-minute video also teases a major yacht flip that sends a crew member to the ground. Gary makes it clear that his primary objective is to make money, not hook up with anyone.

Hannah Ferrier Bought Rolex With Cash After Below Deck Firing

By Karolina

What do you do after getting fired from the hit reality TV show that made you famous? Take the tip money and go crazy on a luxury purchase of course! Hannah Ferrier recently admitted to treating herself while en route back home from filming.

Below Deck Mediterranean fans spent a lot of time discussing Hannah’s termination, the events leading up to it, and whether it was warranted. She was filmed calling her now-husband on the dock after Captain Sandy Yawn decided to fire her. Then, she walked off with her luggage. But the Australian native never revealed much about her trip home afterward. Until now.

Hannah Ferrier “knew” she was done with yachting

Hannah shared the tidbit on Instagram when a fellow social media user questioned who the luxury shops, such as Prada and Balenciaga, at airport terminals are marketed for.

“Who exactly are airport shops for? Like imagine going oops, forgot to grab a Prada bag and a Rolex that I totally need for my flight,” the post read.

The former Below Deck Med chief stew shared a screenshot to her stories and shared the story of her flight home after being fired on Season 5.

“ME! So funny story – after I was fired from Below Deck, I had a stopover in Germany on my way home. And I knew in my heart that I was never going to work on yachts again. So I took all my tip money into Rolex and bought one in cash,” Hannah responded.

The former Bravolebrity indeed did not return to the network or Below Deck Med. She did, however, end up filming on a yacht again. Hannah starred on The Real Love Boat, which aired in 2022.

Bravo is hard-pressed to find a replacement for Hannah. No chief stew cast since returned for a second season, though there is hope that her former protege Aesha Scott will break the cycle.
