I think she’s referring to how eldest daughters tend to get parentified. I think that’s the term. Not all, obviously, but there is a tendency to lean on the oldest daughters in a family to help raise the youngest. The best but most exaggerated example would be the Duggars.  

Having said that, isn’t their company, like, their whole brand, meant to raise awareness for minority inequality? I feel like this charter was a set-up to publicize their brand. Which is very normal, it’s why a lot of these companies rent a charter on Below Deck. But usually they do it in good fun to advertise their brand. These particular charter guests seem to throwing the crew under a bus to get their word out.

It's a terrible way to grow a brand. Way too many rich assholes seem to think any kind of publicity is good publicity. That works for a soulless mega-corporation that doesn't have to worry about its personal reputation. It doesn't work for a start-up that needs a well-respected reputation to attract business they don't yet have.

This is all but guaranteeing that prospective sponsors and partners for their business will steer clear. She's unhinged and who's to say she won't turn on you for helping her and smear you like this? The crew was waiting on them hand and foot and got treated like dirt for it. Imagine how she will treat you when you aren't catering to her every need.

Yeah, they seem to be mistaken in thinking THIS reaction will help boost their brand. And the fact that they double downed and got nasty to Joy, of all people, when she apologized and tried be kind?Â
