‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’: Jenna MacGillivray Addresses Social Media Backlash
Chief stew Jenna MacGillivray from Below Deck Sailing Yacht deals with a lot of social media backlash. Viewers say she’s the worst chief stew out of the entire franchise. Most think she’s even worse than Adrian Gang from Season 1 of Below Deck. She couldn’t hold back anymore. She had to let her feelings out.
Yesterday, Jenna MacGillivray addressed the backlash on her Instagram Stories. Although being on reality TV comes with major hate, she doesn’t think it’s right to bash her when they don’t really know her. MacGillivray shared an emotional post, revealing that the hate caused her to breakdown.
Below Deck Sailing Yacht star Jenna MacGillivray says the hate has become too much
On Friday, May 15, Jenna MacGillivray took to her Instagram Stories to address that social media hate. Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans take to Twitter every Monday night to exclaim some of their frustrations with the new chief stew. However, some of those comments ended up on her Instagram page. MacGillivray took notice and told the online trolls that there is no need to bash her.
“I can only be strong for so long,” MacGillivray wrote. “The amount of s*** I’ve gotten online is getting to me. Please, if you feel the need to write something awful to me, don’t. I’m a person with feelings and it’s too much.”
Paget Berry defended MacGillivray on his Instagram Stories. He reposted comments made by his girlfriend, Ciara Duggan, and supported her remarks. She said that the amount of hate that MacGillivray has received since the start of the season is atrocious. While viewers can express their opinions, some of their words can be hurtful.

Chief stew addressed the online backlash in the past as well
This isn’t the first time that the Below Deck Sailing Yacht star has talked about the social media backlash. She’s received her share of hate on her Twitter account and via direct messages on Instagram. Last month, she revealed what it’s like to be bullied online in a reflective Instagram post.
“Being part of this process has really opened my eyes to the type of bullying and cruelty that exists online in a way that has shocked me,” MacGillivray wrote. “I am on a show. I agreed to share myself with the world and all that comes with it, however, I will remind people that I do not support abuse when I can stop it.”

MacGillivray says some of the messages make her sick to her stomach. The reality star refuses to let the hate get to her. Instead, she will not allow abusive messages on her social media accounts. However, it’s been hard for her to block the hurtful messages across all platforms.
Apologizes to her fellow crew members on Instagram
Last month, Jenna MacGillivray did some reflecting. She took to Instagram to post an apology to her fellow crew members for her behavior on Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Fans felt that she bullied the other crew members, including stews Georgia Grubler and Madison Stalker.
