‘Below Deck’ Star Faces Potential Firing Amid Cast Shake-Up Rumors!
Amid swirling rumors of a cast shake-up, Below Deck star, Xandi Olivier, finds herself on shaky ground — facing the looming threat of termination from the hit reality series.
Below Deck fans are abuzz with speculation following the sudden replacement of star Xandi Olivier on Watch What Happens Live.
The change has fueled rumors about Xandi Olivier’s future on Below Deck Season 11 — leaving viewers intrigued about what might unfold next.
The upcoming episode of Below Deck hints at one crew member facing termination, sparking speculation among fans that Xandi might be on the chopping block in subsequent episodes.
There’s been no sign that Xandi is seeking to depart or would be subject to termination, particularly given Fraser Olender’s fondness for her.
However, this week, Andy Cohen revealed that Xandi would be up on an upcoming episode of WWHL.
Then, abruptly, there was no further need for inquiries directed at Xandi.
On Wednesday, Andy took to Twitter and Facebook to solicit questions for Xandi and actress Jennifer Tilly, who were scheduled to appear as guests on WWHL on Monday, typically the night when Below Deck cast members join the show.
On Thursday, the official Twitter account for Watch What Happens Live shared a picture of the guests for the upcoming week. Interestingly, while Jennifer was still listed, Xandi was notably absent from the lineup. It wasn’t until Friday that the news broke that Below Deck Mediterranean alum Tumi Mhlongo would be joining Jennifer on WWHL. Andy then reached out to fans, seeking questions specifically for Tumi.
Neither Xandi nor Andy have provided any explanation for her sudden absence from the guest list. Additionally, it’s worth noting that Xandi hasn’t been actively promoting Below Deck Season 11.
Xandi’s absence from Watch What Happens Live and her apparent lack of promotion for Below Deck Season 11 have sparked speculation about what might be happening behind the scenes. With spoilers hinting at unexpected developments, fans are left wondering if there’s more to Xandi’s story yet to unfold.
Season 11 of Below Deck has seen its fair share of drama, both on and off-screen, with bosun Ben Willoughby at the center of attention.
Ben has publicly criticized Captain Kerry Titheradge after negative comments were made about his work ethic and potential future on the show. Additionally, Ben has revealed startling insights into Captain Kerry’s opinions about another crew member.
“Ben wasn’t my first choice to be in that position, but he does know the boat well,” Captain Kerry tells EW.
In the interview, Captain Kerry disclosed that the previous lead deckhand wasn’t his initial pick for bosun, and Ben’s future aboard the St. David remains uncertain.
“Ben wasn’t my first choice to be in that position, but he does know the boat well. He’s very good at his job, but he definitely needs to stay focused and understand what the chain of command means,” Captain Kerry told the outlet.
Amid speculation about his continued involvement with the show, Ben has been vocal about his dissatisfaction, openly expressing displeasure with his portrayal and interactions with fellow cast members.
Barbie Pascual and Dylan Pierre De Villiers responded to Ben’s recent criticisms with their own rebuttals.
As the current season of Below Deck approaches its conclusion, tensions continue to rise among the crew, promising more drama ahead.
Stay tuned for updates on Xandi’s Watch What Happens Live appearance and any potential developments regarding her departure from Below Deck.
