Below Deck Sailing Yacht: Why are fans hating on Ashley Marti after episode 6?

The sixth episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 3 aired on Monday, featuring many dramatic and intense moments. Third stew Ashley Marti was seen telling Gabriela Barragan that she was scared of the latter.

In the previous episode, Marti complained about her senior and second stew Barragan to chief stew Daisy Kelliher. The third stew stated that Barragan was rude to her and kept giving her to-do lists.

In the latest episode, Kelliher tried to sort things between the two stews when they were drunk. However, it didn’t end well as Marti kept blaming everything on Barragan’s attitude. In a confessional, the latter called the third stew “manipulative,” which is something the fans have been labeling Marti for a couple of episodes.

Marti was seen being mean to Gabriela Barragan when she later approached her to apologize. The third stew pointed out again that she was scared of asking Barragan questions as she might get an attitude from her.

In response, Barragan was extremely polite and said that they don’t have to be best friends, but need to be cordial enough to work together. Barragan also stated that Marti didn’t have to talk to her if she didn’t trust her, until and unless the conversation was related to work.

While viewers found Barragan wise and polite, they slammed Marti for giving unnecessary excuses. Here's what they said:

Viewers also felt that Marti was jealous of the growing bond between Gary King and Barragan. Apparently, Marti too has a thing for King and was seen giving a massage to him in the latest episode.
