Jonathan takes a jab at Aesha Scott on the After Show of Below Deck Mediterranean season 9

Jonathan Shillingford is the chef on the Below Deck Mediterranean season 9. Recently, in episode 13, aired on August 27, 2024, he criticized fellow crew member Aesha Scott, a head Stew. The official synopsis of the episode reads:

"Chef Jono Shillingford explains why Aesha Scott hurt his feelings after his cookie dessert was sent back, and Captain Sandy Yawn explains why she was ultimately "stuck" with Jono."

Aesha Scott, the head stew, brought back the cookie dessert made by Jonathan because the guests didn't like it. Jonathan expressed his displeasure with Aesha's attitude as she sided with the guests and hinted that the dessert might not be good. He said:

"Usually when you're a crew, like, you stick with the crew, right? You don't say I agree with the guest, like, you would have cleared it, do, you know, whatever you normally do with leftovers coming from a table. As you throw it away, you wash the plate, but she chose to bring that to me, place it in front of me, and say, actually, I agree, and then walk away."

Aesha also shared her side of what happened and told Kate Chastain, the former Below Deck alum.

"This is very disappointing, really. But then what was even more disturbing was when I came back to the galley, and I took it back to him, and I was like, but it's a cookie on their anniversary, and he's like, but it's delicious."

Jonathan accused Aesha of eating the leftovers by the guest and suggested she should have done the same instead of coming to him and siding with the guest to call his dessert not good. He said:

"I wish I had said, 'Well, why don't eat it like you do eat the other leftovers that come back from the guests?' I didn't say that."
