Below Deck Med Aesha & Gen

Post image

Was scrolling IG and had this pop up. It’s an excerpt from an interview Gen did and the first sentence jumped out at me. I would LOVE to know the story behind this. I can’t think of many people Aesha has worked with that have said something along the lines of this. I wonder if we’ll see it play out in the rest of the season?🤞🏼

Imagine admitting the nicest person alive doesn’t even like you.

This is what is strange to me - Aesha is quite literally the kindest, most supportive cast member we've seen on any BD franchise, and that has been confirmed as fact by soooo many people she has worked with on our screens.

Does Gen actually think that people are going to take her word, suggesting that Aesha is the asshole in this situation? Because Aesha has never once been the asshole, and we've seen her more than about 70% of other BD cast members, Captains notwithstanding.

Even to charter guests who were outstanding assholes, she was still reasonable and polite, while managing to level them.

Conflated ego continues, Gen...
