“Controversy is exactly what they’re look for no?”
Willoughby’s and Stillie’s comments were recapped in a fan’s video that Scott commented on.
She countered Stillie’s allegations and defended production of the Bravo show:
“I’ve done Below Deck for almost a decade now and have never once been told ‘this isn’t yachting it’s Below Deck’,” she wrote.
“Also, over the years they stress more and more we don’t have to drink and they keep a good eye on us,” the Kiwi star added.

The comments come days after Australian police issued a warrant for Nathan Gallagher’s arrest after his conviction on domestic violence charges.

The former Below Deck bosun was arrested in Sydney on December 27 after police were called to a Melrose Park unit complex in the city’s northwest after reports of an alleged assault the day before, according to a police memo obtained by Rolling Stone.
The alleged incident involved Gael Cameron, Gallagher’s former partner and co-star. The pair, who got together on the show, share young son Kayden.

Gallagher was granted conditional bail by Burwood Local Court on January 15 and scheduled to appear in court this month, but failed to do so. The judge convicted Gallagher in absentia and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Cameron broke her silence this week on social media, thanking everyone for support in what she described as a “tough season”.
“Hey guys, I just want to say thank you so much for the support you’ve shown for Kayden and I,” she wrote.
“It’s been a tough season, but I have been using the past few months to quietly heal and rebuild for little man and myself.
“I really appreciate the love you have sent our way, especially while everything that’s come to light, and I’m really working on finding myself again and moving forward.”
Scott commented “my darling angels” on Cameron’s post, referring to the mum and son duo.
The latest season of Below Deck Mediterranean, filmed before the incident, is airing in New Zealand.
It features Gallagher balancing his role as a superyacht bosun with family commitments involving Cameron and their infant son.
