‘Below Deck’: Did Ashley Marti Plan To Assault Gary King?

Below Deck fans haven’t stopped talking about Ashley Marti and Gary King. As TV Shows Ace previously revealed, they’re in unison that she raped him. Gary got drunk during the crew outing in the previous episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht. He was so inebriated that he couldn’t make decisions for himself.

But, that wasn’t the case for Ashley. She didn’t drink as much as Gary. Some would say that she was in control of the situation. The controversial scene made some wonder if Ashley planned to assault Gary that night. Read on for more information and to see what fans have to say.

Ashley Marti joked about making Gary King sleep with her

In a previous episode of the Below Deck spinoff series, Ashley joked that she would “force” Gary to sleep with her if it’s the last thing she does. On the Monday, April 4 episode, she told deckhand Kelsie Goglia that she still has her eye on Gary. She even competed with fellow stew Gabriela Barragan for his attention.

Ashley grew jealous when she noticed that Gary had become close to Gabriela. While the two didn’t hook up, they became cuddling buddies. Earlier this season on Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Gary and Gabriela made out and fell asleep together. However, Gabriela only saw Gary as a friend.

Ashley has been chasing him all season long. She even kissed him without his consent. In her confessional, the third stew admitted that she’s used to getting what she wants. Shortly after deckhand Tom Pearson was fired, Ashley said she knows that Gary doesn’t like her. But, that won’t stop her from getting him in her bed.

In that very scene, Ashley joked to Kelsie that if she applies enough “pressure” on him, he will hook up with her. “If I put enough pressure on that situation I might get what I want,” Ashley said with a smile on her face. In lieu of the recent episode, it has Below Deck fans wondering if Ashley planned to assault Gary.

Below Deck fans were outraged over the previous episode

Below Deck fans have been sharing their thoughts about the controversial episode. Some are even calling for Bravo to fire Ashley Marti from the show. They have a feeling that she planned to assault Gary. Fans haven’t forgotten about that joke and were disgusted by it.

They think if the genders were reversed, Ashley would face serious repercussions. Fans have been buzzing about that scene here on TV Shows Ace. Here are just some of the comments.

• “He clearly does not care for her, he needs to be at least fired at the very least if charges are not filed.”
• “Ashley has blatantly ignored Gary’s expression of non-interest all season. This was premeditated.”
• “Ashley has been forcing herself on Gary since she stepped onto the yacht. Gary has rebuffed her advances repeatedly and has never encouraged Ashley’s behavior. She should never be allowed on Below Deck again.”
• “I think Ashley has been throwing herself at Gary the whole season! She thinks her large assets are enough but right from the start he told her no, he wasn’t interested.”
