Below Deck Med’s Kyle Viljoen doesn’t ‘trust’ anyone during arguments
Kyle Viljoenit’s time Below deck Mediterranean became more complicated after a battle with Jessika Asai – and that’s just the beginning.
During a new episode of the hit Bravo series, which aired on Monday, November 6, Kyle tried to get Jessika to spend more time on service instead of laundry.
“I know you’re having a second stew experience. Do you have confidence in service? I have no energy. I have a lot of fatigue,” he told his fellow stew. “I just think it’s fair that you can also provide service.”
Kyle, who is currently the second stew, brought up the idea of Jessika taking on more responsibility to their boss. Tumi Mhlongo.
“I hate an all-girl [charter guest] group because they do cute, weird things that no one likes. I am not mentally and emotionally equipped to serve. I’m going to do the housework and I’ll take over from Jess,” he said during a conversation with Tumi.
However, the chef didn’t agree with the idea, telling the cameras, “Kyle has more experience in service, and depending on how crazy these guys are and what their demands are, I’m going to need Kyle’s energy for this charter.” He can try to run all he wants. He’s not going anywhere.”
Later in the episode, the drama increased when Kyle said during a group meeting that it was “up to Tumi” whether Jessika could officiate the service. Tumi laughed at Kyle’s attempt to trade duties, which Jessika took as a shadow of her stew skills.
“Kyle is so dark. He’s trying to put me in front of Jess so he can get out of commission, and it’s annoying,” Tumi said in a confessional. “Less than two hours ago we were literally having a conversation about him being employed by this charter. So cute, but try again next week.
Below deck the biggest drama of the Mediterranean over the years
Once you step foot below deck on a Mediterranean charter yacht, you’re guaranteed one thing: a whole lot of drama. Throughout the five seasons, crew members like Captain Sandy Yawn, Hannah Ferrier, Malia White and more are known to battle each other – all with the goal of […]
Jessika asked Tumi directly if her hard work wasn’t being questioned. The duo discovered the misunderstanding, but when Tumi mentioned Jessika’s comments to Kyle, he wasn’t too happy about finding himself in the middle of it.
“So she’s trying to turn the tables here? I did everything for this girl and she just wiped the floor with me. To Tumi, my main stew. How dare you?” Kyle told the cameras. “I’m not friends with anyone. I don’t trust any king souls on this boat.”
The episode ended with Kyle and Jessika attacking each other.
“You know what’s stupid? I was there for you. The fact that you said I gave you green stew? That f-king sucks, dude. I was the only one who promoted you into service,” he noted to Jessika. “What do you mean why does this trigger me? Why would you go behind my back to Tumi and tell her? [that]?”
Former ‘Below Deck Mediterranean’ Stars: Where Are They Now?
Over the years, Bravo viewers have seen the Below Deck Mediterranean cast members come and go, but not before bringing the drama to the small screen. The spinoff series, which premiered in 2016, apparently found a permanent crew member in chief stew Hannah Ferrier. The Australian native appeared in five seasons of the hit […]
Kyle became emotional as he remembered how he “had faith” in Jessika. Meanwhile, Tumi came into conflict with her Natalya Scudder after telling Kyle that she wouldn’t mind if the third stew went home due to problems with her boyfriend.
“Natalya, I would never want someone who is having a hard time at home to stay on the boat. Ever,” Tumi told Natalya about her comments. “A refresh button doesn’t mean I have to be friends with you. We are working colleagues.”
She added: “Her feelings are completely justified. It’s her tone that f–king irritates me.
Natalya, in turn, wondered why Tumi still talked about her in private. ‘I did my job and we got along well. But apparently there are very few comments being made that throw a little shade,” she fired back. “You’re not really a good leader.”

In a preview for next week’s episode, Jessika and Kyle are both seen crying at different points in the charter. “Everyone is at their breaking point. Things could get worse from here,” Tumi tells the cameras before an argument between Kyle and Natalya plays out on screen.
Although it is unclear what is causing the commotion, Natalya is surprised by the way Kyle is talking to her.
“I’m one of your friends, don’t talk to me like that,” she says after Kyle shades her “damn” life. “Kyle, I’ve never been spoken to like that in my life, and I can’t believe you’re saying this.”
Kyle isn’t bothered by his reaction and even smiles as Natalya walks away, adding, “I don’t care.” You’ve been a fake asshole talking behind my back since day 1. Go away from me.
Below deck Mediterranean airs on Bravo Mondays at 9pm ET.
