Captain Jason Reacts to Aesha Scott Rejoining āBelow Deck Medā: āI Was Put Off a Littleā
Bravo (3)
Captain Jason Chambers has some feelings about seeing his former Below Deck Down Under costar Aesha Scott rejoining Captain Sandy Yawn on Below DeckĀ Mediterranean.
Jason reacted to an interview where Aesha was asked about his reaction, writing via Instagram on Monday, June 3, āOf course I was put off a little, but with no season 3 in the pipeline and lie in general, situations change and people move on for their own reasons and requirements.ā
The captain made it clear he supported Aesha in her professional endeavors.
āChange is great in life, it creates us to grow,ā he continued. ā@aesha_jean and myself had two great seasons, you need to be grateful for what you have and had and now what you want.ā
In the aforementioned interview with Decider, Aesha said: āI donāt know if he was, but I mean, Iām sure he was. I didnāt tell him beforehand because weāre supposed to stay in the bubble and Iām a good girl. āHe heard it through the grapevine somehow, and he messaged me being like, āOh, Iāve heard that youāve gone back to over there.ā And I was like, āYeah, sorry. I should have told you.ā But heās like, āNo, thatās fine. All the best, blah, blah, blah.ā He is always very supportive.ā
Aesha joined Below Deck Med during season 4 and worked as a second stew under Hannah Ferrierās reign. She became the chief stew alongside Captain Jason on Below Deck Down Under for the first two seasons of the spinoff before returning to her Below Deck Med roots as the chief stew during season 9, which premiered on Monday.
Aesha also opened up about being reunited with Sandy.
āOh, incredible and amazing, and scary and awesome. Itās that feeling of leaving home and going on your OE [overseas experience] for a couple of years, and then really missing your family and flying back and rekindling all of the things that you loved,ā she gushed. āIt was that exact feeling. It was so special to back where the journey started.ā
The chief stew was excited to grow alongside her former boss, adding, āThe last time I worked for Sandy, I was a second stew and just a girl. I went off and flourished and became a chief stew. It was so cool to be able to come back and show her all the things I have learned and who I have become as a woman.ā
Thank You!

Aesha continued: āThough, it was also scary because I put so much pressure on myself. I really wanted to be perfect for Sandy because I respect her so much.ā
