‘Below Deck’ Rachel Hargrove Leaks Texts From Bravo PR

Below Deck star Rachel Hargrove leaked text messages from Bravo PR. This comes amid the news that she cut ties with the Below Deck franchise and Bravo. The fiery chef shared her experience with Southern Charm’s Austen Kroll. She called him a “narcissistic tw*t,” which unveiled their unlikely feud.

However, the network didn’t like that Rachel talked about her fellow Bravolebrities. They wanted her to keep the details of their meetup to herself. As fans already know, Rachel is not the type to go away quietly. She leaked the text message exchange she shared with Bravo’s PR agency after she announced she was leaving the network.

Rachel Hargrove says goodbye to Below Deck

Earlier this week, Rachel Hargrove took to social media to wave goodbye to Below Deck and Bravo. It all stemmed from her apparent feud with Southern Charm star Austen Kroll. She took to her Instagram Story to post an article from Bravo.com with the headline, “Austen Kroll Explains Why That ‘Big Meeting’ Changed Everything.” Rachel didn’t like what she saw.

Seeing Austen’s face triggered her. Rachel wrote on her Instagram Story, “Cheers to the most narcissistic tw*at @BravoTV.” Below Deck fans caught wind of Rachel’s Instagram Stories and wanted to know the details of her feud with Austen. The fan-favorite recalled a time when the two met up in Florida. Rachel revealed that she’s no longer a fan of Austen and his co-star Shep Rose.

“We were all hanging out. He didn’t like the fact that I don’t party and wasn’t doing his whole thing… being an idiot,” Rachel wrote in a follow-up Instagram Story. “The guy’s an idiot… even when he and Chep [Shep Rose] threw my bag on the floor at upfronts while waiting to go to dress rehearsal.”

Like most Bravo stars, the Southern Charm cast members love to drink and party. Rachel was known for her heavy drinking during her debut on Season 8 of Below Deck. However, she pulled back on partying and drinking during her redemption season in Season 9. Rachel would rather focus on her work these days. Since she wasn’t interested in knocking back a few drinks, both men bullied her.

Gets a stern warning from Bravo PR

Bravo’s PR company caught wind of Rachel Hargrove’s social media posts. They didn’t like that she was trashing her fellow network stars. But, she had a good reason to share her experience. While announcing her departure from Below Deck, she leaked the text messages from Bravo PR on Instagram.

Peyton from Bravo PR reached out to her and asked her to stop “saying negative things about other shows on the network.” Peyton advised her to support their talent. Rachel told him, “Just make sure the drunk c*kehead knows to not talk to me again.” That’s when she recalled her encounter with Austen in Florida.

Peyton agreed that it was “rude” and “unacceptable.” He apologized for what happened and still advised her to remove the social media post since it was a “personal incident” that took place away from the cameras. Peyton added that someone will “speak” to Austen, but didn’t mention if he will be reprimanded.

Austen reacted to the drama by leaking a DM of him saying, “Rachel? Wtf?” Rachel Hargrove also announced she won’t be attending the 2022 BravoCon. What are your thoughts? Will you miss Rachel on Below Deck? Sound off below in the comment section.
