‘Below Deck’ Fans Outraged At Ashley Marti’s Statement

Below Deck Sailing Yacht star Ashley Marti called out the “trolls” and “keyboard warriors.” Earlier this week, she took to Twitter to share a special statement for the haters. She called them “miserable” people who hate their lives. The statement came amid the ongoing backlash against the third stew.

At first, fans criticized Ashley for her lack of work ethic. She mostly complains about her work and feuds with second stew Gabriela Barragan. They noticed the way she treats her superior and called her out on it. Then there’s the whole issue with the way Ashley has handled her situation with first mate Gary King.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans reacted when she said she would force herself on him. Some of them compared it to harassment. Ashley hasn’t spoken out about her latest comments. However, fans are still on her for what she said on Twitter.

Ashley Marti caused her share of controversy

Since the start of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 3, Ashley Marti has caused nothing but controversy. Fans think she’s one of the worst stews to appear on the series. She called out the trolls for “spreading nastiness.” While she has certainly brought drama to the season, some think it’s unwarranted.

Ashley created a love triangle between Gary and former deckhand Tom Pearson. She also got backlash for her behavior on the show. Recently, Below Deck viewers had a strong reaction to her latest post on Twitter. Ashley’s over-confident attitude raised eyebrows from the moment she stepped foot on the yacht.

She claims to know-it-all, especially when it came to her job. However, she needed some guidance since Gabriela is more seasoned. Ashley also claims to get whatever she wants and uses her body to do so. She was hoping that her looks would be enough to attract Gary’s attention.

In a surprising twist, Gabriela made out with Gary. The two slept together in the same bed after a crew night out. Ashley joked that she will make Gary sleep with her. Below Deck fans think she’s the real villain of the season.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht fans react to Ashley’s statement

Some think Ashley came on the show to get attention. She may have wanted to get her 15 seconds of fame. What’s interesting is that she’s been promoting her OnlyFans page. She hasn’t posted anything else about yachting since, leaving some to wonder if she left the industry after filming the prior season.

Ashley admitted that she watched Season 2 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, which also included a love triangle with Gary. So, it’s likely that she wanted to be a part of that action. However, some Below Deck fans think her antics come across as forced rather than genuine. Most fans have reacted to her behavior on the subreddit.

• “What was she expecting? For viewers to embrace her s****y attitude and personality?”
• “If you want to appear on a reality show, you shouldn’t be upset if people on the internet talk about you.”
• “Oh no, I was a complete b**** and now people are calling me out about my s*** personality. 🙄Girl bye 👋🏼”
• “Rocky is a lunatic, but I think she’s a good person, with issues. Ashley is a mean girl, and deserves the hate she’s getting.”
