Police Called on Drunk Below Deck Guest Who Threatened Captain Kerry
Below Deck fans have never seen a voyage as rough as this one.
The Bravo series' season 12 crew was forced to call police on a drunk guest who disobeyed orders and put herself in danger during the show's July 28 episode.
After boarding the St. David with her fellow travelers, vacationer Kelly—a few too many cocktails deep—jumped in the water without a life vest on, blatantly ignoring the crew's warnings.
"I'm gonna have to cut off Kelly," Captain Kerry Titheradge warned her fellow charter guests. "She's had too much to drink."
Kelly's friend Helen agreed with the decision, replying, "100 percent okay with that."
But after Kelly defied Capt. Kerry by diving into the Caribbean Sea inebriated, the crew attempted to reign in her risky behavior.
"Her jumping in the water right now, that's a big f--k you," Kerry explained in a confessional. "Now, what's important to me is her safety and my crew's. When I ask you specifically not to do something and you go right against what I say, we've got a friggin' problem."
But Kelly wasn't ending the party without a fight. After coming back on board—and making Deckhand Jess Theron chase her in the water—Kerry warned her, "I'm going to call the authorities and have you taken off the vessel if you don't listen to me right now. Go back inside right now."
Kelly's response? "I can do whatever I want. I need a f--king safety."
The crew then formed a human shield to physically get Kelly back inside the mega-yacht and she pushed against them in defiance.
Following the shocking confrontation, Kerry knew he had to call police to have her removed from the boat.
Regardless, Kelly's fight with the crew waged on and not even her friends could calm her down as she made threats against Capt. Kerry.
"I got connections, I got the FBI in my family," Kelly warned Kerry before yelling into the camera, "They're f--king a--holes. They're Democrats! Democrats!"
Kerry fired back with, "I'm not going to take any threats from anybody. I don't care who you know. It doesn't matter. There's one authority on this boat and it's me. So, go back to your cabin."
The crew, visibly shaken by the out-of-control guest, received some encouraging words from Kerry on how to handle the situation.
"Some people don't like being told what to do," he advised. "She scratched me. Make a wall and just crowd her in. Try not to touch as best we can, but if it's safety related, we're allowed to do that."
And after making sure Kelly couldn't escape the vessel again, Kerry noted in a confessional, "I've tried every avenue to calm her down. Her friends aren't talking her down, she's tried to attack me, she's threatened me. She's extremely drunk. She could further hurt herself, she could drown. I gotta do what it takes to keep her safe."
See how the drama plays out when Below Deck airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on Bravo. In the meantime, keep reading to see more past guests who got a little too out of control.
The Bravo franchise has had plenty of dramatic and crazy moments thanks to some unruly and demanding guests, including Georgia, who was a little too flirty with no-nonsense leader Captain Lee Rosbach.
Sometimes, you just want a foam party—at least, that's what this demanding guest asked for. Was it eyebrow-raising to see him drunkenly partying in what ended up being about four inches of foam? Yes. Was it still epic because of how excited he was? Also yes.
Where do we start with Delores? The season eight Below Deck charter guest made a splash, literally and figuratively, after she drunkenly jumped into the ocean late at night. To make matters worse, this swimming session was in direct defiance to Captain Lee's order to stay on the boat. In a first for his career, Captain Lee ended Delores' charter early and sent her packing.
However, while being escorted away on the tender, Delores jumped into the ocean. Bold move, lady.
Barrie boarded the Parsifal III with his blended family, including his current fiancé and his ex-husband, in season two of Below Deck Sailing Yacht. With such a large guest list, the crew was certainly put to work, especially chef Natasha. Not only did Barrie have no problem sending his breakfast back, but he also refused to have his family served buffet-style.
The first charter of Below Deck season eight was certainly a memorable one. We're, of course, talking about when the charter guests found themselves bickering over deckhand James Hough. Specifically, charter guest Shay called dibs on the British yachtie. However, her boatmance hopes were derailed when pal Lexi flirtatiously rode a jet ski with James. Thus, a fight broke out over dinner, which shocked the Below Deck crew.
It was ladies night on the high seas in this episode of Below Deck Mediterranean, but as the drinks flowed, some of the women started to get a little handsy with deckhand Jack Stirrup. Thankfully, Captain Sandy swooped in to save the day.
The crew aboard this ship got a show they didn't ask for when two of the guests hooked up in the crow's nest, a part of the ship that everyone could see on camera.
In the same episode that the crew witnessed the on-deck hookup of two of their guests, they also discovered that their passengers also had never heard of cleaning up after themselves when they stumbled upon a used condom on the nightstand.
For the most part, the charter guest is always right. However, in season two of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, charter guest Erica requested that Captain Glenn Shephard do something to make the ship stop rocking. Unfortunately for Erica, they were in the middle of a thunderstorm and Captain Glenn didn't have the power to control the weather.
Other highlights from this charter group include a woman with hours worth of stories, bullying accusations among the ladies and so much more.
While many guests on Below Deck have been demanding, this may be the most ridiculous request because of how random it was. On one of the episodes, guests demanded gumballs, but not just any gumballs. They had to be colored gumballs and they even threatened to require they be delivered by helicopter if there were none on board.
Not every guest has found their trip to be a five-star experience, but usually they stick around to give feedback as to why. On this episode of Below Deck, we learn that a few of the guests straight-up ghosted upon arrival and fled the ship before even saying goodbye to the crew.
