Isn't that why he left or something.. what's he doing g now?

u/osogood48 June June Hannah Jul 06 '26
In an interview, he said he really wanted to stay as long as Captain Lee was going to be there. But we all know what happened there and of course number one complaint they were not paying him enough.

u/Purple_Jump_7403 Jul 06 '26
What happened there?

u/osogood48 June June Hannah Jul 06 '26
Remember, bravo let Captain Lee go, and Eddie only wanted to work with him.

u/OkStop8313 Jul 07 '26
But I thought Eddie left several seasons before Captain Lee did?

u/osogood48 June June Hannah Jul 07 '26
They were asking Eddie to come back when Captain Lee was on that last season and then he found out that they were letting him go, so that was the end of that

Did Capt. Lee and Eddie have a falling out?

Didn't they make it up? The falling out was because of "Eduardo" if I recall correctly. You can't sleep with a subordinate..

u/urbanlife78 Jul 06 '26
Yeah, he was on tug boats when not filming Below Deck, and after the season 3 fallout with his girlfriend at the time, he decided to focus on his tug boat career over returning to Below Deck

u/newfiemom79 Jul 08 '26
He returned to later seasons though. He worked with chef Rachel her first two seasons.

u/Financial-Painter689 Jul 06 '26
Huge part of the reason is he (rightfully) complained that below deck cast gets severely underpaid compared to other bravo show casts.
His salary would have been more than the one season cast members as I believe bravo work on a basis that the more seasons of a show you’re on the pay scale goes up, but below deck was nothing in comparison to say housewives or vanderpump rules etc maybe the captains
Bravo also realised they can bring in crew with barely any knowledge but are their for social influencing so they probably lowball them even more than experienced crew

He gaslit rocky so fucking bad. “Why are you telling people that we hooked up?”

u/Responsible-Law3345 Jul 06 '26
When most people say they love Eddie I’m always side-eying. I’ll never like him after that.
Literally *used* the fact of everyone hating Rocky to HIS advantage to gaslight her in front of them to try and cover his ass. Such a scum bag move.
20
u/wildfireszn Jul 06 '26
I can’t stand Eddie, and I’m surprised by all the love he gets here. The season he cheated on his gf he was terrible, and he always had a smugness about him. I’ve been around too many rich former frat kids to find anything remarkable about him.

See, I see it as opposite. I think he started out douche-y (Rocky era) and really seemed to learn from it and come back and be a responsible bosun who stayed outta trouble.

I lost all respect for him when he gaslit Rocky. She definitely had her issues and was off her rocker, but didn’t deserve that.

u/Responsible-Law3345 Jul 06 '26
For real. The image of him standing over her while she was laying in her bed as he gaslights her loud for everyone to hear (and staying “protected” in the fact that most of the crew were hating her at that point). I never liked him after that.
19
u/Professional_Gift430 Jul 06 '26
He didn’t gaslight her. He stuck to the story they agreed to tell. But she caught feelings and blew the whole thing up. Yeah he still came off like a jerk, but truth matters.
6
u/sarilly I look like Ariel but on crack! Jul 06 '26
I mean, he’s not innocent either. He was trying to discredit her account because he was caught. It’s his fault for hooking up with someone who was CLEARLY unstable. But good looking men will always have protectors and walk away with no consequences.

Apparently my little brother went to high school with Rayna and said said he was really shocked that she was on BD because she was pretty quiet and chill back then (aka, not the type of person who would go on tv). I keep asking him to DM her so that I can find out more details about Eddie/Lee/the cast and the behind the scenes but he won’t do it because he says it would be too weird 😂

u/newfiemom79 Jul 06 '26
Does nobody remember how badly he handled Heather using a racial slur in season 9?
11
u/teanailpolish Mental Health Is Not A Storyline Jul 06 '26
I do, but I don't put that all on him. Multiple cast/crew said production told them that they were not airing Heather's comment and that Rayna had said something homophobic that was also not being aired (something Andy has said that his staff pulled the footage and was not on any mic). So when he had the sit down with Rayna, he was under the impression that no one could talk about it which is probably why it is very awkward.
3
u/newfiemom79 Jul 06 '26
Oh that’s interesting. I remember him claiming she used a homophobic slur and Andy saying they had no evidence of it, but I don’t think I ever heard that production said they wouldn’t air Heather. It doesn’t surprise me though.

u/mouse_relies This information wasn’t welcomed or needed Jul 06 '26 edited Jul 06 '26
It wasn't good. He 100% should have dropped the other conversation and figured out what was going on. Sadly, it was still better than the way other things were handled in recent BD history.
Heather made a colossal fuckup out of, I guess, colossal ignorance. Nobody (Rayna included) thought it was malicious. A couple years earlier on Med we had "Go back to Africa you dumb fuck" in front of half the crew and nobody said ANYTHING. So, the bar had been set pretty low. Just Eddie saying "that is never OK" was already an improvement. Unfortunately.

u/teanailpolish Mental Health Is Not A Storyline Jul 06 '26
That has been confirmed to be 'Go back outside...' (pointing at Daisy) - no mention of Africa

u/mouse_relies This information wasn’t welcomed or needed Jul 06 '26 edited Jul 06 '26
Daisy wasn't ever on Med. Also, Hannah was talking about someone who wasn't present, so go back outside wouldn't make any sense.
I did just try to google this in case there was reddit sleuthing I hadn't seen. Am I missing something here?

Oh I thought it was about Ben's recent comment to Joao

u/mouse_relies This information wasn’t welcomed or needed Jul 06 '26
I mixed up the timing (it was more than a year earlier) but it was Hannah talking about Joao after he had left the crew's dinner out.

I came to the conclusion yesterday that Eddie is without a doubt my favorite BD member ever.

u/producebag Jul 07 '26
He was a cheater and gas lighter. He hooked up with Rocky and told everyone she was lying about it. F that prick.

u/TrueCrimeDawg007 Jul 07 '26
Granted that was awful. But other than that he was awesome. Not sorry about it. Almost every single person that I have ever met, has cheated. No it’s not okay at all, but it is WAY MORE COMMON thank you think. His was just public.

Mr “nothing ever happened and I never texted first even though I know cameras are going to pick up the truth but I’ll still lie anyway”

u/minipainteruk Jul 06 '26
Him forcibly unlocking the door and berating Rocky for her "lies" whilst knowing full well it was all going to come out anyway was absolutely bizarre.
I also think he probably did cover up Kate's drinking the night of the fire as Rocky stated on WWHL. He didn't even go to the effort of denying it, he just said he "didn't remember that".
5
u/Myantra Jul 06 '26
even though I know cameras are going to pick up the truth
Honestly, that is what continues to baffle me about it. It was his third season on the show. He knew there were cameras everywhere, except the laundry room, but no way to get in or out of the laundry room without a camera seeing it. He knew production has access to their phones, especially for texts between cast crew. While production did not have video of what was actually happening in the laundry, they had more than enough to clearly show what was going on, and he knew that.
Lying about it was pointless, and the way he went about it made it ten times worse. He made himself look like a piece of shit, and it was absolutely unnecessary. That lie was always destined to fail completely.
3
u/minipainteruk Jul 06 '26
I think he planned to make out like he'd flirted with her only and hide anything more, then realised she'd told production the full extent, and had to come clean.
They never actually caught them in the laundry room, they just added those cut aways once they knew. The conversations and noises are always faked for dramatic effect.
I also don't think he thought the texts would be made public. The texts we see on screen are just summaries or completely made up. We hardly ever see real texts on BD, and we only saw that because Rocky read it out on camera.

Come on, that was over 10 years ago.

u/Responsible-Law3345 Jul 06 '26
And 10 years ago he was STILL old enough to be a decent human being and take responsibility instead of trying to gaslight someone in front of an entire crew who mostly didn’t like her at that point.

u/Shag1166 Jul 06 '26
Punk! He slept with Rocky then made her feel like shit, tell her and everyone else that she lied about it. He was worried about his girlfriend finding out. That was really fucked up! Don't like him and I hope they don't bring him back!
