‘Below Deck Med’ Kyle Viljoen Reveals Mental Deterioration, Pain & Horror
Below Deck Med Season 8 brought a boatload of problems for Captian Sandy Yawn, and Kyle Viljoen got his fair share of criticism from Bravo fans. Actually, even Tumi Mhlongo got irritated and cursed at him. Fans want him fired, and now that the season plays out, he’s pouring out his heart. He’s giving his version of events while asking people to help him with his TV career.
Below Deck Med Kyle Viljoen Slammed By The Crew
Captain Sandy Yawn is not impressed with the behavior of Frank Fray’s former lover. Some people felt a bit sorry for him when he collapsed after tidying up after the guests. Tumi Mhlogo panicked and rushed off to get help after she underestimated his declaration of illness. However, many Bravo fans hate seeing that he seems arrogant, lazy, and annoying this season.
Kyle Viljoen is skating on thin ice, but so is Tumi and the crew seems to be very divided and hostile. Natalya Scudder also got some frowns from the captain as the two crew members battled it out. Tumi got a dressing down about leadership, and then Tumi made the mistake of speaking to Kyle about Natalya. He told Natalya that she might get fired, which didn’t help. So, she left.

Kyle Viljoen Sounds Sorry For Himself, Below Deck Med Heats Up
Below Deck Med is going off the charts with fury from Bravo fans. When Kyle clashed with Max, things came to a head and fans wanted him gone. But on social media, he seems to think that all the press and social media things that seem nasty are just for clickbait. In five whole slides, on Instagram, he talked about his emotional health.
Kyle Viljoen talks about how “this season has been incredibly painful to watch and relive.” Additionally, he claims that he still gets “death threats.” From his perspective the “ruthless articles that have been written …are completely false, all for a bit of click bait.”
Like anyone else, he’s aware that reality shows can trigger emotions in people. However, he’s human. In part, he wrote:
I want to remind people I am a human being with very real emotions and a heart like you all….Its a show and its a movie and it shod (sic) not involve you or affect you iun any way.”
The Below Deck Mediterranean crew member struggles with both living through the scenes now playing out, and rewatching them. So, he finds things very difficult. Certainly, his mental health does not sound all that good.
Kyle Viljoen talked about the rare disease that set him back. Therapy was interrupted by his illness. Additionally, it hurt that so many people just trolled a potentially life-threatening illness with “karma” comments.
Calls For Support
Kyle Viljoen said in the last two slides, that he’s “had it all.” However, there are a lot more controversial things coming this season. Already, he feels “exhausted,” because of trying to explain things. On top of that, he deals with the mental stress from his experience at the sea. Bear in mind, he also feels a lot of “self hate.”
Furthermore, he hopes that people will support others because his experience could be seen as a “teachable moment.” At the moment, Kyle Viljoen’s call for support might not go down well with Below Deck Mediterranean viewers but he did it anyway.
He said:
All I want is a chance to grow, so I ask, grow with me and jounrney with me as I navigate my path to mental healing. follow me as I pursue new hobbies like podcasting and sharing stories that bring me and ohers joy as I plan a wedding…
He’s keen to remain in television in New York, but he hopes to share things that make a real positive difference in people’s lives.
