Johnny's outburst following Alesia's mistaken identity incident on Below Deck Down Under
Alesia’s bed mix-up
In Below Deck Down Under, the incident began after the crew had a rough night out. Alesia entered the cabin where Johnny and Wihan were staying, mistakenly assuming the bed she was getting into belonged to Johnny. She climbed into the top bunk, which was Wihan’s, and began speaking to him as if he were Johnny. It wasn’t until Johnny entered the room that Alesia realized her mistake.
“Oh my god, I thought that was you. Oh my god,” Alesia said in surprise.
Upon seeing Johnny, Alesia jumped out of bed. She attempted to explain herself, but Johnny remained visibly upset.
“I don’t know what I’ve seen,” Johnny said.
Alesia tried to calm him down, saying she had "genuinely just f**ked up," but Johnny remained unconvinced. Regardless, he responded with "It's okay."
Alesia's explanation to the girls and Johnny’s reaction to the mix-up
After the mix-up in Wihan’s bed, Alesia Harris went to the girls' room to explain what had happened. She clarified that she had mistakenly thought she was getting into Johnny’s bed.
“So I went in. I thought that was Johnny. So I went in to cuddle. Then Johnny walked in. It was Wihan actually,” Alesia said.
Brianna was surprised and exclaimed, “Wihan in bed?”
Elsewhere in this episode, as Alesia tried to explain the confusion, Johnny’s anger continued to build. He left the room, expressing his intention to "quit." He said that he no longer wanted to be involved in the situation.
Wihan, still unsure of what had occurred, attempted to speak with the Below Deck Down Under star. He asked Johnny:
“Can you please tell me what’s going on?”
Johnny dismissed him, expressing that he was fed up with the situation and felt the crew was being dishonest. Johnny further told Wihan:
“Shhh shhh. If I hear a little bit more and touching, this boat is gonna sink. I promise you.”
Wihan, still confused, asked again what he had done, but Johnny didn't explain. Instead, he emphasized his reaction to the overall situation, describing Below Deck Down Under as "f**cking mental."
The episode concluded with a “To Be Continued” message, leaving viewers with a cliffhanger as they await the resolution of this conflict. Johnny’s reaction, which began with frustration over Alesia’s mistake, then turned into an emotional moment.
