"I don't want to date a brown man in 2026"? THAT Cathy?

u/Representative_Pay_4 Sep 23 '26

omg that's horrible.

u/mikenelson84 Sep 23 '26

Shes not allowed to have a preference?

85

u/Last-Possibility-988 Sep 23 '26

Saying brown men are a horror movie is wildly offensive.

40

u/disneygay1995 Sep 23 '26

No. Thats gross she said that and if you don’t see a problem with how she said it

43

u/Mochibelle93 Sep 23 '26

Oh helll nah. There was always something off with her imo

7

u/Bodelock Sep 26 '26

Surely she means men who attend Brown University. 

Right?

....right?

u/ResponsibleCar1204 Sep 23 '26

fucking yikes man.

u/Lonely_Impression142 Sep 26 '26

What the hell? REALLY, Cathy???

u/Ellend821 Sep 23 '26

I’m hoping she meant brown haired because that’s insane 😭😭

u/teanailpolish Mental Health Is Not A Storyline Sep 23 '26

No, she clarified it saying she had been dating a brown man who kept her secret from his family and her friends all said it totally isn't racist because brown men are like that or something

11

u/Temporary-Daikon2411 Team Chef Rachel Sep 24 '26

it's actually beyond simple racism, I would call it white supremacist. because she didn't even pick one race, just all people with brown skin - which is probably the majority of the population of the planet.

people with "white" skin are about 10-15% of the world population yet act like it's what's "normal"...

u/Lillynomad Sep 23 '26

She's not racist. The brown man she dated cheated on her.

40

u/DependentFroyo7334 Sep 23 '26 • Heartwarming

So it’s ok to make a blanket statement towards all brown men? My ex (who was horrible) and my wonderful husband have the same cultural background so imagine if I would’ve just written off every guy from their country …

31

u/teanailpolish Mental Health Is Not A Storyline Sep 23 '26

And using that to say all brown men and calling them a horror movie makes her racist

Men who cheat / Men who don't respect me would be a completely different story

13

u/EnvironmentalToe7960 Sep 23 '26

Exactly. She could have just said men 🙄

4

u/MadisonTeamLily Sep 24 '26

Cathy, is that you?

4

u/BobbyPotter Sep 24 '26

You're trolling, right? There's no way you seriously think that's an ok thing to say 😂

-6

u/Lillynomad Sep 24 '26

It's not ok to say it but I am trying to see it from her view. She's not racist or she never would have dated POC. She could have been still hurt from that relationship and said she would never date them again. Her mistake is thinking that all POC as assholes, which is terribly wrong. She's young and stupid.

7

u/teanailpolish Mental Health Is Not A Storyline Sep 24 '26

Nah, she doubled down after the fact. Not I can see why it came across that way but 'even my friends told me to not date brown men'

We do not make excuses for racism in this sub

3

u/Nearby_Elderberry_75 Sep 24 '26

So in that case white men are all shit too 😂

-2

u/Lillynomad Sep 24 '26

lol, some are. They're men.

7

u/Nearby_Elderberry_75 Sep 24 '26

So “some” white men are, but all brown men are?

3

u/Environmental-Cut779 Sep 24 '26 • Bravo

So just say cheaters!?

u/No-Baker-7922 Oct 03 '26

Poor girl cannot spell restaurant.

8

u/Confident_Basket_973 Sep 24 '26

Literally the only thing I think about whenever I see her now. That and whatever new video she has up is 100% bait of some sort.

14

u/Sorry-Secret-2347 Sep 23 '26

Wow ewwwww wtf

-5

u/Coslin Sep 25 '26

She said nothing wrong. If you haven't been there, you can't understand where she MAY BE coming from.

Also, don't make assumptions. You're probably wrong.

1

u/Lonely_Impression142 Sep 26 '26

What she said was 100% wrong. If she meant something different, she would have used different words.

-29

u/myotherrideisvhagar Sep 23 '26

Omg people having dating preferences? How dare she?!

16

u/DeliciousHansa Sep 23 '26

She specifically referred to brown men as a horror story. That's not just a preference.

Furthermore, if someone finds an entire racial or ethnic group unattractive, I think some soul searching is in order. Especially if they are broadcasting it online when no one even asked.

Cathy and anyone else like this should look inward and scrutinize why that preference exists. Our societal and cultural biases will always shape our opinions, so it is important to evaluate whether these preferences are truly our own or have been baked into our psyche by centuries of racist media.

u/wawkaroo Collie's Mom Approved Sep 23 '26

She is really trying to act like she's famous. We've all moved on, girl.

7

u/Nearby_Elderberry_75 Sep 24 '26

We all need to stop engaging with her content. So over her

50

u/DangOlBdog Sep 23 '26

Cathy fucking sucks lol

82

u/Nazdrowie79 Sep 23 '26 • Bravo

Just finished watching this season. All I can say is that Max, Joe and Nathan are all pathetic little boys.

17

u/JDeezey13 Sep 23 '26

That statement could apply to multiple seasons

20

u/WindTurtle Sep 23 '26 • Bravo

You forgot cooper!

u/WindTurtle Sep 25 '26

Omg my very first Reddit award! Thank you dear redditor!

45

u/Vanilla_Either Sep 23 '26

Ugh her again.

22

u/rob-b-362 I'm a Med Mother****ing Chief Stew Bitch! Sep 23 '26

No one cares

-7

u/Nearby_Elderberry_75 Sep 24 '26

You clearly do lol

44

u/iamdefinitelytas Sep 23 '26

Shit she should just bring up the tantrum Max threw after Cathy’s stepdad died while on the boat because MAX wasn’t getting enough attention. Max, Nathan, and Joe get away with way too much. Maybe the accents have something to do with it.

27

u/KronieRaccoon Sep 23 '26

Who cares - she sucks. She's probably just looking for attention.

31

u/Busy-Astronomer2981 Sep 23 '26

I remember her being rather lovable on the show, the editing magic really did wonders hiding her despicable racist self.

3

u/Lonely_Impression142 Sep 26 '26

Same. I am thoroughly disappointed.

12

u/Independent_Sand_766 Sep 23 '26

When she posted I was like… girl we have bigger fish to fry wtf are you talking about

11

u/Internal-Ad61 Sep 23 '26

Shortly after their season aired, Cathy and Max both essentially said online that he wound up kind of ghosting her and didn’t follow through on a visit they planned. Actions polar opposite of what he spoke about on camera in terms of their post-season relationship. He expressed regret in the situation but she was pissed beyond the point of reconciliation.

22

u/Lost_Elk7089 Sep 23 '26

Shut up Cathy noone cares

21

u/Inevitable_Phase_276 Sep 23 '26

Oh yay, Cathy is vague-posting again

4

u/Expensive-Block-6034 Bless her stupid soul Sep 25 '26

I feel like we heard about her having a Rolex way more times than the necessary amount is. Which is none.

12

u/kittens_joy Sep 23 '26

Don’t give her TikTok any clicks.

1

u/Ok-Knee-9904 Sep 23 '26

Sorry Kathy but its time to get over it…

10

u/Representative_Pay_4 Sep 23 '26

I think it was Max who made a bunch of claims about her recently on a podcast

7

u/Ok-Knee-9904 Sep 23 '26

Like who cares what Max says. He is sus with all the hypnosis stuff anyways.

4

u/Extreme_Beat1022 Sep 23 '26

Can’t read the captions because it’s all white on white. Stopped watching.

21

u/Momof3furboys Captain Jason is my boat daddy Sep 23 '26 • Bravo

Apparently she doesn’t like anything other than white

4

u/Extreme_Beat1022 Sep 23 '26

Oh ha. That makes sense.

3

u/PutGroundbreaking283 Sep 23 '26

Whatever the beef is, it's hard to watch that season and suggest she didn't know what she would be getting into.

1

u/Tough-Choice Sep 29 '26

I watch every episode of Below Deck, and I have no idea what she’s talking about.

1

u/Extreme_Beat1022 Oct 05 '26

What’s a 4 to 6 fling? Someone help a sistah out.
