Below Deck Mediterranean: Katie Flood Clears Up Crew Misconceptions

Katie Flood, the chief stew onboard the Lady Michelle clears up some confusion over how she runs her crew on Below Deck Mediterranean.

On the episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, for September 20, the show’s host raised the question, with Katie Flood, about a crew member’s assertion that a third stew is typically a “laundry bitch.”

Katie Flood, 29, had some things to clarify on the matter.

Below Deck Mediterranean – ‘It’s Part Of The Job’

During that game, Agree or Disagree Katie and Chef Mathew Shea both disagreed about the third stew being “laundry bitch.”

In response, the reality TV star said, “Her point is: if we’re on a bigger boat, yes” adding that, “We’re on a 55 meter [yacht]. I’ve got two girls under me. So that means Courtney’s going to be in laundry all season? F–k no!”

Katie went on to add that every stew should be prepared to do laundry at any given time, “It’s part of the job” adding, “if you want to be a stewardess, that’s what it is.”

Katie Flood, a New Zealand native, has six years of experience in yachting and has worked her way up from the bottom.

The Below Deck Mediterranean alum has worked on both charter boats and private yachts and is no stranger to demanding owners and guests.
