As Season 7 of Below Deck Mediterranean kicked off, Kyle used Instagram to gush over the women he’s working with on the show.
Two photos made up his IG post. The first one featured Kyle with Natasha, Natalya Scudder, and Raygan Tyler, while the second one featured just the interior crew.
“One thing we all going to learn is that I stand with my girls, I am so incredibly proud that these woman have a platform to share their individual and unique personalities, skills, traits, knowledge, and growth,” he began his long caption.
Kyle encouraged people to show support as Season 7 of Below Deck Med aired, noting not all cast members are relatable. The yachtie went on to talk about women empowerment and what it means to him.
“I am so incredibly humble by these woman and all in the yachting industry, and nothing I wouldn’t do for my girls,” Kyle ended his message.
