Shots have been fired in the Below Deck universe this week, sparking what could be the newest feud in the hit yachting franchise.
Kate Chastain joined the Below Deck Med Season 9 cast for the newly revived After Show series, and she’s stirring the pot.
The Below Deck alum dished all the dirt to her friend Aesha Scott.
As Monsters and Critics previously reported, Kate defended Bri Muller while throwing shade at Elena “Ellie” Dubaich.
Social media was soon buzzing about Kate’s remarks, and soon Ellie entered the chat.
Over on X (formerly Twitter), Ellie had a lot to say in response to Kate and more.

One Below Deck Med fan shared a brief clip of a couple of things that Kate said about Ellie on the After Show. Kate isn’t buying what Ellie is selling that’s for sure.
Ellie popped up in the comments section to defend herself.
“In terms of me not being ‘as trained as I think I am’ – in the beginning of the season I was very honest saying I had never been a service stewardess before. I worked as a Spa Stewardess which means I worked in the Spa, Housekeeping and Laundry. #belowdeckmed,” Ellie wrote.

The fan still had some more questions and thoughts for Ellie, who didn’t waste any time speaking her mind.
Ellie Dubaich hits back at Below Deck Med criticism
There’s no love lost between Ellie and Bri that’s for sure. Ellie has been working hard to make sure her side of the story gets shared and doesn’t just play out on-screen.
When a question was asked about Bri and Ellie being on service versus laundry, the latter gave more insight into Bri’s lack of skills.
“This dates back to the first meeting where Bri mentions she’s not sure what is an ounce,” she replied.

Ellie also shared her side of the story regarding the laundry log, which has now been dubbed a burn book. The stew shared that the log was the only notebook in the laundry.
It’s no secret that laundry has been all over the place this season, thanks to Bri. Ellie tried to explain how it shouldn’t be that hard because things are labeled.
“Any shirts which get pressed and hung have the person’s name on the label. That’s how we determine who they belong to when delivering,” was her comment.

The drama between Bri Muller and Ellie Dubaich is far from over on Below Deck Med. They are on thin ice with Captain Sandy Yawn, and the rumor mill is buzzing that one of them won’t be there at the end of the season.
What are your thoughts on Ellie?
Below Deck Med airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo. Seasons 1-9 are streaming on Peacock.
I like Elle better. Bri seams to be taking a victim role. However both of them need to knock it off. Sorry but Joe isn’t that great to lose your job over.
Bri is immature, lacks the skills & is a bit of a snake. She deliberately threw herself at Joe in such a way it made her look really bad. Then she slept in the boys room. Ellie is human & I would be fed up at this point too. Bri has had every opportunity to try to improve.
Ellie is a bully who is so obsessed with her own looks she can’t get past it. She just wanted to trample all over Bri.
i alreaady have commented but as the season wears on I’m tired of both Bri and Ellie. Get rid of them! Joe is really annoying! he thinks he is more charming than he is.
