Two crew members have been sacked from the popular cruise-based reality show Below Deck Down Under, after one of the ship's staff was accused of sexual misconduct.
A recent episode of the show saw bosun Luke Jones climb into the bed of a sleeping Margot Sisson, while he was naked. Producers could then be seen trying to get Luke out of her room only for him to repeatedly slam the door in their faces, and telling them "f*** off", before eventually leaving.
When this situation was brought to the awareness of the ship captain Jason Chambers, he told Luke to go and spend the night in a hotel before terminating his contract.
A second member of the ship's crew, second stew Laura Bileskalne, was also fired from the ship after she argued that Jason's firing "wasn't fair" and that he was only "joking." Earlier in the episode, Margot was seen at dinner enjoying some time of work, telling some of her co-workers that she was "really drunk." Chief stew Aesha Scott then expressed concern for Margot, adding that she wanted to "chaperone her a bit." And while Margot was drunk, Luke could be seen repeatedly flirting with her and asking her to "cuddle" to which Margot said she just wanted to go to bed by herself.
