‘Below Deck Med’ Fans Call To Fire Malia White As Bosun Doubles Down On Valium Controversy
Below Deck Med fans aren’t happy with bosun Malia White. One viewer started an online petition to have her removed from the show. This move comes after Monday’s dramatic episode. Malia sent Captain Sandy Yawn a photo of the contents inside Hannah’s purse.
The photo showed CBD and a prescription for Valium. The chief stew even shared the photo with her followers on Twitter. She claims she has nothing to hide and she did nothing wrong. Hannah also said there wasn’t an issue with her prescription since her doctor prescribed the medication, and CBD is legal in Spain, where the superyacht was traveling.

An online petition to fire Below Deck Med star goes viral
As per Inquisitr, an online petition to have Malia White removed went viral. A Change.org petition requesting her termination has garnered over 5,600 signatures as of Thursday, August 13. There are several other petitions circulating with the same goal in mind. Below Deck Med fans don’t want her back on the series.
The reason for the petition is “breach of contract.” The creator claims that Malia spoiled future episodes. However, it’s unclear which social media posts, as the bosun deleted her recent Instagram posts. Many fans are upset with Malia’s lack of empathy for mental illness. In another Instagram post, she compared prescription medication to narcotics.
Below Deck Med witness Hannah suffer from a panic attack in the past. In one of the latest episodes, Malia referred to it as a “freak out.” Meanwhile, Hannah and third stew Jessica More have brought a more positive light to mental illness in recent weeks.
Malia White doubles down on her reason to disclose Hannah’s prescription
The bosun from Below Deck Med argues that she’s in the right. She consistently stated that medication must be disclosed to the captain. The aspiring captain continued to double down on her claims on Instagram. She even shared several photos of her contract with her followers.
The Bravo star even made an appearance on Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef long before the controversy aired. During the interview, Malia said that crew drug possession is something she automatically reports to the captain.

“If it’s either a crew or a guest the same rules apply,” she explained. “Guests in their briefing get like, ‘you’re absolutely not allowed to have any drugs on board.’ And that’s saying illegal drugs. But even more so for [the] crew.”

Malia also claimed that the same rules apply to alcohol. The reason why Malia received so much backlash is that she demanded that Hannah switch cabins with her. She wanted to room with her boyfriend, Tom Checketts, who is the new chef on the show. Fans accused Malia of retaliating against Hannah.
Below Deck Med airs Monday nights at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo. So, make sure you don’t miss the new episodes.

I think Malia White needs to be fired also. It wouldn’t hurt me if I never saw her on another episode
The captain is responsible for the safety of her staff and passengers.She should be aware of what meds are on-board.
