Viewers have had a front row seat to some of the biggest reality TV feuds since the Below Deck franchise debuted.
The show’s spinoff series Below Deck Mediterranean shocked viewers when Hannah Ferrier and Captain Sandy Yawn‘s inability to see eye to eye turned into the most memorable firing to date.
Since the captain joined the show in season 2, the OG chief stew struggled under the pressure of pleasing her boss. Following several onscreen ups and downs, Hannah and Sandy’s issues reached their peak when Malia White reported the Australia native for having Valium and a CBD vape pen in her cabin.
During season 5, the captain made the controversial decision to fire Hannah due to Maritime Law. At the time, Hannah called out Malia for misrepresenting the fact that she didn’t have a prescription for the Valium.
Sandy later noted that she didn’t have any issues with Hannah following their difficult time on Below Deck Med. “She’s still angry. It’s so hard because for me, it wasn’t personal. It’s about my career,” she told Us in September 2021. “When a crew member shows me something and three other crew members are copied on it, my hands are tied. Yeah. I can’t.”
One month prior, Malia also addressed her decision to report Hannah after they had a fight. “I don’t regret doing my job, but I do regret how I handled it,” the bosun, shared with Us, noting that she could have “handled it a lot better.”
