The big picture

- Dubiach admits that he is short-tempered and should have been more empathetic.
- Crew dynamics on Below Deck Med were toxic. A possible firing loomed.
Sometimes, you have to be careful not to misbehave in order for self-realization to strike, and that’s exactly what Elena Dubiach is going through right now after looking up Below Deck Mediterranean Season 9. The reality star has had a long-running beef with junior stew Bri Muller, and the crew was becoming increasingly unable to play the role of mediator in the conflict.
Dubiach was known for abusing his level of authority as a superior and even commenting on Muller’s lack of ability to handle the pressures that come with reality TV. She even went so far as to take things to social media in a since-deleted post where criticized Muller’s handling of conflict on the showTheir dynamic created a toxic environment on the show, which led to Chief Stew Aesha Scott is gone and captain Sandy Yawn consider the possibility of shooting one or both to maintain harmony on the bridge.
Although Elena Dubiach has He maintained his innocence during the confessionals and even to his superiors in the past, neither of whom have been fired for the time being, as the crew is currently on charter. However, now that Dubiach has had the chance to witness his behavior, she feels immensely sorryas he revealed on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
It’s not every day that someone feels remorse for their actions.
Elena Dubiach had a heart-to-heart conversation with Andy Cohen when asked if she wanted to address anything about the season so far. The TV star explained that it is grateful to have had the opportunity to see herself “through someone else’s eyes.” He also observed how we tend to be mean to others in everyday life when we are looking at a situation from our own current perspective.
The Bravo celebrity also points out how, even if you feel justified in the moment, you can tend to forget about look at the situation by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes. Dubiach admits to having been testy in her treatment of young student Bri Muller and he could have been more empathetic in his approach. She further stated that she sincerely regrets her actions and realizes that she should have kept her tone professional. While expressing her regret to Cohen, the reality star also stated:
“And I realized that sometimes we’re the bad guys in their story. And that’s what I was in Bri’s story. And I really regret that.”
Elena Dubaich observed how he should have lifted up and motivated his subordinate instead of dragging her down. Considering that the crew was growing tired of the duo’s antics, and that a potential firing was hanging over their heads, whether the reality star meant what she said is debatable. But either way, admitting guilt is a big step in the right direction to clear up the toxicity on deck.
