Below Deck Mediterranean star Aesha Scott got into an argument with Ellie Dubaich, which made it to the finale episode that aired on September 23, 2024, on Bravo at 9/8c. The finale episode witnessed Stew Ellie not being invited to take part in the preparations for Sandy's proposal to her partner Leah Shafer.
Aesha Scott, the chief stew, and Ellie have had previous conflicts when Carrie joined the crew. Elli felt that she was cornered by Aesha after Carrie arrived, and she was also disappointed at being left out of the planning of the Captain's proposal.
Aesha opened up about Ellie being 'calculated' in episode 17 and told the cameras that she was acting all innocent even after their argument. Aesha said:
"I feel like Ellie is gaslighting me in a way. She’s standing there like she’s so unaware. She’s so calculated. I don’t feel like I ever truly know what she’s feeling.”
What happened between Ellie Dubaich and Aesha Scott during the finale of Below Deck Mediterranean?
The finale of Below Deck Mediterranean had the crew members get involved in the preparation for Captain Sandy Yawn's engagement ceremony where she decided to propose to her partner, Leah.
Aesha along with Joel, Carrie, and Gael left the boat to prepare for the ceremony. Ellie was hurt that Aesha did not invite her to help in the proposal arrangements and felt that all her hard work in the season meant nothing.
Aesha told Ellie to take charge of the yacht as the second stew as she wouldn't be there and also explained that she took Carrie, Gael, and Joel with her as they were fast when it came to work, and she could rely on them. Ellie on the other hand felt left out and said:
" At this point, everything I do is wrong. I am trying to prove to my boss that I can do this job. How is she supposed to write a reference saying I could be a good chief stew if she’s never seen any leadership skills from me?”
She further added:
"I am definitely feeling down. Aesha didn’t pick me to participate in Captain Sandy’s engagement which would have been such an honor for me. I feel like all the work I have done this entire season is for nothing.”
