“When she turned toward the door, Suarez said King came up behind her, grabbed her, pressed her against his body, and refused to let go of her even though she says she tried to kick and elbow him to get him off her. She said she managed to get out of his grasp and went to open the door to leave,” the outlet reported.

She also stated that he was heavily intoxicated during the evening. But that should not be an excuse for his actions. If anything, the production should be more strict on alcohol laws.
“There is no limit to alcohol consumption whatsoever, which I think poses a really big problem,” Samantha added.
Needless to say, with all of this sexual misconduct happening, the production behind the Below Deck franchise has got to make a change for the benefit of their crew and staff.
