Below Deck star Rayna Lindsey teases that Season 9 ends abruptly, talks bad editing and the reunion shows, and disses her costars.

The most recent episode of Below Deck Season 9 has kicked off a new level of off-screen drama. It all started with Heather Chase saying the N-word on the Bravo show.

Heather did apologize via an Instagram post, but Below Deck fans didn’t buy it. Rayna slammed Bravo, Eddie Lucas, and Captain Lee Rosbach after the episode for their lack of handling the situation.

Bravo has yet to address the incident, which has Below Deck viewers in an uproar. However, Captain Lee did speak about the situation.

Now, as the hot topic continues to blow up social media, Rayna had more tea to spill on what’s to come on the hit-yachting show.

Although Rayna didn’t mention her in the Q&A session, Jessica Albert did use social media to give Rayna a shout-out as a good friend amid all the Heather drama.

Before ending her session, Rayna let Below Deck fans know that PR is trying to silence her. She didn’t mention Bravo by name, but it’s a safe bet the network doesn’t want her giving out any season spoilers.
