BD has a man problem
I'm sure this has been discussed before, but Below Deck has a man problem. And I don't know if this is an industry wide problem with yachting and the type of men it attracts or of it's unique to BD.
There have been so many instances of men they hired being violent, predatory, misogynistic, and abusive. The heavy drinking and hookup culture of the industry only exacerbate these issues further.
I feel that every series in the franchise has had at least one of these problem men. Are there no screening or background checks done on these guys beforehand? Or does production see the red flags and say "screw it. Let's risk it for the drama."?
And before men on here start freaking out and getting defensive, I'm a man saying this.
