Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 episode 10 was released on August 5, 2024. The episode saw Joe and a few other male crew members discussing a song Joe played at night on the piano while they were alone. They were not aware that Ellie was also present in the room because she was building a fort with white sheets.

The song referred to Ellie and another female crew member, Bri, which Ellie didn’t like. The next day, when the crew had a day off and went to explore the Acropolis, Ellie talked with Joe about the song he had played the previous night.

"It was quite disrespectful," Ellie mentioned.

Later, Below Deck Mediterranean episode 10 also saw Joe apologizing for his part in the incident, and Ellie was ready to resolve the situation.

What happened with Ellie and Joe regarding “the song” on Below Deck Mediterranean season 9?

The tenth episode of Below Deck Mediterranean showed the Mustique crew members enjoying their day exploring the Acropolis. After a while, they sat to enjoy some drinks at Dot Beach Vibes, where Ellie and Joe chatted about the song that Joe played on deck.

"I’m not gonna lie, when I heard that song the other day. It just sounded so disrespectful, you know?" Ellie shared with everyone.

Joe, the head deckhand, asked Ellie if he had upset her. She replied that she felt “so disrespected.” Joe continued telling her that it was “only a little song with the boys, and it was a playful event.”

"But the part when he said, “I don’t give a sh*t who it is” it’s quite disrespectful," Ellie replied.

Joe then said he was sorry that he offended her, and added:

"And I’m a pr*ck, I understand."

Ellie made it clear that she would not accept any disrespect and Joe repeatedly apologized for hurting her feelings. She accepted the apology and said he was “very kind” for apologizing.

"I’m able to forgive Joe because he seems genuinely remorseful. He’s a little bit immature. Maybe his ego got a little bit carried away, but I don’t think he was coming from a malicious place. So I’m happy to forget this entire situation," Ellie shared in the confessional.

Moreover, when Nathan returned to the table, Joe told him that there would be no more singing, to which Nathan agreed.

Ellie made a fort with white sheets for the onboard guests’ slumber party in the main saloon. Unable to find candles, she ran to fetch them. In the meantime, Joe and Nathan were called to the main saloon to help with the decorations.

Lead deckhand, Joe, started playing a song on the piano, where he shared:

"We’re gonna make a song. Oh, Bri. Don’t be upset. But Ellie, Who’s it gonna be? Is it gonna be BRI!!! Or Ellie? I’ve already had one. Now it’s time for two."

While Joe sang the song, fellow male crew members from the Below Deck Mediterranean laughed at it, unaware that Ellie had come to the room and was working on the tents and arranging pillows.

"I’m enjoying the music," Ellie shared.

Joe was taken aback on hearing her reaction since he was unaware that she was present. Another member asked her if she liked the song and Ellie said she had heard enough. Joe tried to make up with her by explaining that it was a joke with the rest of the boys.

"This little motherf***er. Oh, he’s got a bit of attention from me one time. And now you can get whoever he wants. And I’m like, well, not me. I’m dried up," Ellie shared in the confessional.

Soon, all the male crew members left the main saloon, embarrassed by their behavior. Joe was the last one to leave the room, where Ellie was still arranging pillows and other things for the slumber party.
