During the latest episode, Natasha's co-star Kyle Viljoen revealed the reason behind her missing the reunion.
Kyle said that Natasha was working on another vessel while Below Deck Mediterranean was filming this season's reunion. He also added that since season 7 was an emotional one for the Chief Stewardess, "she chose emotional stability over anything else."
Natasha also took to her Instagram profile and uploaded a video and a statement addressing why she didn't attend the season 7 reunion. In the caption, she wrote:
"Just in case this video isn’t shown during the Reunion. I’ll only leave this post up for a limited time."
In her statement, she corroborated what Kyle said, confirming that she was "extremely busy working so couldn’t attend." Continuing, she added that she consciously decided to skip the reunion and did not speak her truth because she preferred to "focus on positive energies and kind souls, I avoid negativity."
After emphasizing that she will "always stand true" to her beliefs and "leave the shadown to fall behind," the Chief Stew of the latest season of Below Deck Mediterranean ended her statement by writing:
"We all continue to grow and blossom everyday, just at different speeds, that’s okay. I recognize where my energy is appreciated & will always carry my strengths with me, not let anyone drag me down & keep strong to be the very best I can be. We continue to live & learn."
How Below Deck Mediterranean fans reacted to Natasha missing the reunion
