Below Deck Season 10 star Alissa Humber has called out Captain Sandy Yawn and her leadership style following the most recent episode.

The tension has reached an all-time high between the captain and stew over Alissa being insubordinate.

Below Deck viewers watched as the episode ended on a cliffhanger with Alissa being called to the bridge.

All signs point to Alissa getting axed, especially since the mid-season trailer teased a new blonde stew joining the St. David crew.

Ahead of the drama unfolding in the next episode, Alissa has opened up about how she feels about how Captain Sandy treated the interior crew versus the deck crew.

Alissa did say that the captain “sucks deck crew d**k” a couple of times on the show.

So, does she still feel that way today?

There’s no question that Alissa had a lot of issues when it came to Captain Sandy and her leadership style. Alissa admitted when speaking to E! News that she never really got a feel for the captain.

She also admitted to defending chief stew Fraser Olender because he was not getting any positivity from Captain Sandy, just criticism after criticism.

Alissa also spoke candidly about feeling as though the Below Deck Mediterranean captain treated Camille Lamb differently as Alissa and Camille butted heads.

“When the Camille and me situation was going on, I felt like she really got down to Camille’s level and talked with her, sat with her, ate with her, had comfortable conversations with her,” Alissa expressed to the outlet.

She went on to add, “I know that they had multiple different conversations. When I tried to reach out to Sandy, I was actually shut down and my worries were dismissed.”

Alissa admits Captain Sandy never showed her any warmth or concern, even as the stew disclosed she was struggling and was drained. However, when Ben Willoughby was upset after Camille Lamb was fired, he got a hug from the captain.

That and more had Alissa calling out Captain Sandy for treating the deck team better than the interior team.

Alissa doubled down on her claims that there was favoritism on the St. David yacht. Captain Sandy continuously praised Ross and his team, while Fraser was always getting a lecture or being yelled at by the captain.

“You don’t say good job to one team when there’s other separate departments. It’s rude,” Alissa stated. “She’s actually part of the deck team, she leads them, she gives them their plan. With the interior, she just sits down at the dinner table and says this isn’t good enough.”

The stew stands by her claims today, just as Alissa did last week when she appeared on Watch What Happens Live.

Alissa Humber doesn’t shy away from speaking her mind, and the Below Deck Season 10 reunion show should be quite interesting, that’s for sure.

Below Deck airs Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo.

Alissa is right in her description of Sandy but Alissa failed to understand when Sandy said I hear everything and after what she heard Alissa say about Sandy and the deck crew I don’t think Sandy was in the mood to talk.

Alissa was dead wrong! Captain Sandy is there to make sure the guest are taking care of and the boat is running smoothly. She is not there to give them praises. Alissa was good in the beginning. Frazier was wrong, he needed to stope being their friends and be their boss. Alissa looked alike a slutty ho. Why would you flirt and kiss on the guy knowing the other girl like him. She need to grow up.

I don’t agree with what she said because Camille was not talking about the captain like she was talking about her. So it’s very important for everyone to understand that. And another thing she is pretty nasty talking about her coworkers all the time. She’s just rude and nasty.

Alissa has daddy issues. A few times on the show she has spoken about her dad and his ways and how she had to put up with it while growing up. She has a problem with authority and has a disrespectful mouth and demeanor, and don’t get me started on “girl code”; she has no idea what that means. She’s selfish and only cares about herself. It’s a shame because she is a good worker, if she could only keep that mouth and demeanor in check, she’d do well.

Alissa was way out of line. Capt. Sandy was correct that the deck crew was doing a great job and the interior was inferior. Capt. Sandy inherited a interior run by someone way to green to be a chief stew and it is a disaster.

Alissa is basically a lazy person, the Captain is the final word on a boat. Your attitude must be to follow instructions without question or get off the boat. It is a job, if you cannot do it, don’t sign on.

Alissa must be totally dense if she doesn’t realize that she is a terrible employee. Thank GOD she is gone!

I loved Captain Sandy… no more. She was an ass to Frazier and was using Rachel to micro manage him. It was ridiculous. Pretty disappointed and disgusted by her behavior “leadership”

I think Alissa is right. She did not have to be escorted off the boat. I see an issue with this captain and certain female interiors.
