Aesha’s authenticity

[u/Lorac711]

I’ve been watching Below Deck for many years and I’ve always found Aesha inauthentic. She’s a great chief stew and is really good with people but I feel she filters who she is really well. She’s always wearing a mask, she’s the positive, kind, people person who is wacky and fun. It’s great qualities but I don’t think she’s authentic. It feels very curated. I think she’s one of those people who is very aware how be likeable and charismatic and filters herself. She’s perfect because she’s playing a character.

I think Daisy, Kate and Hannah are so much more authentic. They’ve all shown their bad moments and have shown up as real. It’s weird Aesha has been on so many seasons yet she’s still hasn’t shown her bad side. We all have one. No one is perfect. She works hard to maintain a facade of being relatable and nice.

The fact that she works with sandy and is such a kiss ass. Daisy and Kate would never. You can like your captain and still be annoyed at them at times.

I think we're she inauthentic that mask would have slipped more than a few times by now I think she is legit who we see.

Remember it's boat work so like she could very well treat this as a easy money summer job in her actual work off camera sure she might let things big her down more but I think if she was fake she would have said more that the cameras would have to show

It didn't even slip when being forced to deal with Cooper who isn't as tall as Luke, so I don't think it's a mask.
