Below Deck Mediterranean‘s Max Salvador landed himself in hot water after telling Kyle Viljoen he considers himself part of the LGBTQIA+ community despite being straight.

During the Monday, November 13, episode of the show, the crew was enjoying a rowdy night out before returning to the boat. Kyle and Max ended up discussing how Max kissed their now-former charter guest and whether there could be a future there.

“I am putting my entire season’s tip money that you and Leni will never work out,” Kyle told Max, who took the bet by shaking the stew’s hand. “You are 23, and she is a grown businesswoman.”

Kyle, who is engaged to Dr. Zachary Riley, brought up the topic of sexuality when he added: “Don’t rub your f–king straight dick around here.” Max clarified that he is “LGBT plus S,” to which Kyle asked, “What is S?”

When Max confirmed he meant he is “straight,” Kyle shut down the assumption that he’s part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

“You guys have your ‘straight.’ You cannot include yourself in LGBT, you must be crazy,” Kyle, who is gay, noted. “Support your straightness and show your allyship for us. That’s it.”

Max, meanwhile, was clearly tipsy after drinking all night and seemed confused by Kyle’s remark. “Me? Of being all together? You don’t like that?” he asked.

Kyle stood by his initial reaction to Max’s comment, saying, “LGBTQIA+ does not include straight individuals. Not even allies are within our acronym. That’s our thing. I accept your allyship but I do not accept you saying you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community.”

According to Max, using the LGBTQIA+ label allowed him to join a welcoming group of people. “But bro, the goal of the world is to be accepted by everyone,” he pointed out to Kyle.

Over the years, Bravo viewers have seen Below Deck Mediterranean cast members come and go — but not before they brought the drama to the small screen. The spinoff series, which premiered in 2016, seemingly found a permanent crew member in chief stew Hannah Ferrier. The Australia native appeared in five seasons of the hit […]

The conversation only got more tense when Kyle maintained that Max had no place in his space, adding, “You accept me but you cannot be part of my community. You’re not gay or bi.”

Natalya Scudder stepped in to explain Max’s point of view, which only made the situation worse. She asked Max whether he was interested in a threesome with another man and a woman and took his approval as a sign that he fits under the “bi-curious” label.

“A part of a community is being accepting of every community,” she said to Kyle, who fired back, “Not you. Take a backseat. It’s got nothing to do with you, it has to do with him.”

Earlier in the episode, Kyle started to question whether his friendship with Natalya was genuine. They were previously at odds while filming season 7 because Natalya felt she did more work than Kyle. Natalya and Kyle attempted to start fresh after joining the Mustique, but that quickly started to fall apart.

As soon as you step foot on a Below Deck Mediterranean charter yacht, you’re guaranteed one thing: a whole lot of drama. Throughout its five seasons, crew members like Captain Sandy Yawn, Hannah Ferrier, Malia White and more have been know to butt heads with each other — all with the purpose of delivering a […]

Kyle began to question whether Natalya was the reason the interior team wasn’t getting along. He pointed out Natalya’s feud with chief stew Tumi Mhlongo and how she seemingly made stew Jessika Asai question Kyle’s intentions.

Natalya supporting Max’s ignorant stance only caused Kyle to get more frustrated with her.

“I will talk to you the way I want. You cannot control me. You will never control me,” he told Natalya. “I don’t need you to control everybody’s opinion. [Focus on your] own f–ked-up life before you f–k up on ours. She will throw you under the f–king bus.”

The insults shocked Natalya, who said that she’s “never been spoken to like that” in her life. Kyle, meanwhile, remained unbothered by his behavior, adding, “I don’t give a f–k about our friendship. Our friendship has never been real. You have been a fake-ass bitch talking s–t since day 1. Get away from me.”

“He is the devil,” she exclusively told Us Weekly on November 3 at BravoCon in Las Vegas. “[It’s] annoying ’cause he set me and Tumi up [for] a very bad start of the season. Tumi and I are on a good page now. We do agree there was one person who definitely caused the drama, but we are good now.”

Below Deck Mediterranean airs on Bravo Mondays at 9 p.m. ET.

Amy Duggar Defends Son from Cyberbullies: How Dare You Attack a Four-Year-Old?! on December 6, 2023 at 10:40 pm The Hollywood Gossip

Plenty of people give Amy Duggar a hard time on social media. Some believe that she’s a clout-chaser.

Others doubt her sincerity as she condemns the IBLP cult. And then there are Duggar apologists defending Josh and Jim Bob.

For the most part, Amy takes these critiques in stride. But not when people go after her son.

Are “fans” being cruel to Daxton? Or is Amy refusing to hear what they have to say.

What are these recent “attacks” all about? We’ll let Amy herself tell you, in a caption from late Tuesday night.

“I’ve had just about enough comments from grown women,” she began.

Amy felt so over people “commenting on my son’s hair in all of his pictures.” And, to be clear, not favorably.

“GROWN WOMEN ATTACKING A 4 YEAR OLD,” Amy accused. “How pathetic and sad is that?”

Amy asked: “Can we all just try to do better? Ask yourself why do I need to give my opinion about something that doesn’t even pertain to me?” A fair question.

“It makes me not want to post at all,” Amy expressed. “It’s annoying, frustrating, and so wrong.”

“Most of the time I just let negative comments roll off my back,” Amy charactereized. “But as a mama bear it’s time for me to say something.”

She emphasized: “Let me make this crystal clear I don’t care what your opinion is about anything to do with my life or my little family. If having a cool rad mullet makes him happy then we are going to cheer him on as parents! He’s only young once!”

“He wants to grow it out , we might perm it gasp) he wants to enter in a mullet competition!” Amy threatened.

“Heck he might want a spiked Mohawk,” she suggested. Now that could be cool. “All I know is no matter I will support him and defend him.”

Amy continued: “Who knows what the future holds for this lil guy but all I know is he’s got style and he’s not afraid to be himself and that alone is such a special trait! He has a personality that just doesn’t quit and I’m just trying to keep up with him!”

“You can attack me all you want. I’m strong I can handle it,” Amy offered.

She affirmed: “I’ve been through enough hell to know I can take a lot of crap from a lot of people.”

Amy then concluded: “But don’t you dare attack my cub.”

Truth be told, the mullet is — infamously — one of the worst hairstyles that a human being can choose.

At the same time, some 20-somethings are getting into them thanks to the pernicious influence of TikTok. Ever hear of a “wolf cut?” It’s just a euphemism for mullets and it’s horrifying.

But whether Daxton’s hairstyle is fashionable or not is actually not the point. Whether his hair looks good or not is not the point, either. Which is good, because “or not” is winning in both categories.

Whatever we may think of Daxton’s hair, or of Amy as a person, she is 100% right. Yes, really.

He’s 4 years old. It’s his hair. And it’s not harming anyone or anything.

If you try to control how someone manages their hair for their whole life, they’re going to go to college and buzz it off in the dorm hallways because they can finally make their own choice. That’s basically what Britney Spears did back in the day. Amy’s 100% on the money here.
