Below Deck’s Captain Kerry Titheradge reveals the unseen secrets of Kerry’s meltdown!
The Storm That Wasn’t on TV
Below Deck’s Captain Kerry Titheradge recently made a big revelation!
The chaos we saw with a charter guest named Kelly in Season 12, Episode 10 was just a “small part” of the real story.
According to Kerry, it was the “craziest experience” of her Below Deck career.
Alarm bells rang as soon as she stepped on board
Kerry explains that as soon as Kelly stepped on board, she sensed something was wrong. Her “intense” energy raised concerns for safety.
As Kelly continued to drink, Kerry decided to stop giving her any more alcohol – “not to punish her, but to protect her and everyone else.”
Tensions increased at sea
When everything started getting out of control, Kelly refused to wear a life jacket and jumped off the banana boat into the ocean!
Kerry and her team had to create a human barrier so that she couldn’t go back into the water without safety gear.
Police called for the first time
Despite repeated attempts to calm things down, when the situation did not improve, Kerry made a difficult decision – the police had to be called.
French police escorted Kelly off the ship and into a hotel room so she could “sleep and forget everything.”
Primary guest Helen also accompanied her so she would not have to be left alone.
Reaction from crew and guests
Kerry never tires of praising the professionalism of her team.
She also praised the “calm nature” of Helen, who ensured Kelly was not left alone in a vulnerable state.
Despite the aggression, Kerry described Kelly as a “wounded animal”, stressing that mental health issues had significantly influenced her behaviour.
Just the tip of the iceberg shown on TV
What we saw on TV was just a 45-minute version of hours of footage.
One can only imagine how much must have been left in the editing room!
Summary:
Below Deck’s Captain Kerry explains that Kerry’s televised meltdown was only a small part of what happened. After drinking alcohol, she refused to wear a life jacket, forcing the police to be called.
