Below Deck‘s Solène Favreau threw viewers for a loop when she recalled having to “wax a lot of genital parts” before she found yachting.
During the Monday, June 23, episode of the hit Bravo series, Solène reflected on her journey to becoming a stew.
“I really think all of my previous experience has helped me,” she shared. “I was a bartender in a five-star hotel in the French Riviera.”
Solène added that she tried her hand at a slew of job options, saying, “I was a beautician, a masseuse and I was a waxer. I used to wax a lot of genital parts. All day, you wax penis so I now have a lot of memories in my mind.”
Below Deck and its spinoff series have never failed to bring the drama to Bravo fans everywhere since the franchise launched. The original series premiered in 2013, documenting the daily lives of crew members on luxurious yachts during charter season. With each season, the crew members’ personal lives have begun to cross over into their […]
Despite her extensive experience, Solène continued to butt heads with Rainbeau de Roos, who felt like she wasn’t pulling her weight. The same could be said for Captain Kerry Titheradge‘s issues with bosun Caio Poltronieri — which didn’t improve.
There were also some surprises in the crew’s personal lives. Chief steward Fraser Olender made out with deckhand Damo Yorg while Solène kissed Kyle Stillie. It remains to be seen whether romantic connections will form.
Below Deck viewers already know that Kyle will get caught in some drama later in the season. The trailer teased Kyle potentially hooking up with a guest at the beach in full view of his coworkers. In the footage, Captain Kerry confronted Kyle, who wouldn’t confirm what happened.
Kyle asked producers whether his comment about “f***ing” a guest whose husband was on charter was “a joke,” and someone behind the scenes asked him the exact same question back.
“There was an investigation done. I’m not too sure how much of that will be shown, but I did a thorough investigation before I made my decision,” Kerry exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month. “It will be interesting to see what happens after I interviewed each of the crew members — including what was actually said behind [my back].”
Below Deck debuted in 2013, and it didn’t take long for the Bravo series to find its audience. The hit Bravo series introduced viewers to the lives of crew members who reside and work on a superyacht during charter season. Below Deck quickly became a major franchise for the network, with spinoffs including Below Deck […]
Kerry wouldn’t give away whether Kyle was fired.
“I don’t get to see what’s going on Below Deck because I’m in the wheelhouse or I’m over here and I can’t be everywhere,” he explained. “I don’t micromanage. I allow my crew to grow and I like to be here and to help encourage people. There’s a lot I don’t see and there’s even more I don’t want to see.”
Fraser, meanwhile, told Us in May that “things were turbulent” already on St. David.
“I’ve done it before, so I can’t speak on [hooking up with a guest]. What is a hard no is on charter and what is a hard no is potentially engaging in something whilst their married significant other is also around,” Fraser teased. “It was definitely [the most explosive thing I have been a part of]. Because this situation then was the catalyst of so many other problems. And this really did spiral into something that no one saw coming. So it’s the beginning of the end. It’s so good though.”
Below Deck airs on Bravo Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
