Below Deck Med's Chef Johnathan Shillingford exclusively told Us Weekly he wasn't aware of Captain Sandy's comments about letting him go
Below Deck Mediterranean's Johnathan Shillingford found out that Captain Sandy Yawn planned to fire him — and had a backup chef on standby — at the same time as viewers did.
'I maintain that working with Captain Sandy was an honor. Because being a feminist — I grew up in a family of strong women who were trailblazers in their careers — I never worked with a female captain before,' he noted. 'So regardless of what's been said, I maintain that it was an honor working with her.'
'The comments she said on WWHL — which I only saw bits of — that's like asking a pilot to fly better. For me it's like, 'OK, sure. Everyone can improve.' I improve every day,' he told Us. 'It kind of sounded like she was throwing shade. But maybe she could be more specific. I don't know if she meant it to be helpful criticism. I don't think she necessarily meant to be rude or anything.
He continued: 'We got to make her proud. For the entire season, I was focused on making sure that she had confidence in me. So I don't know if I would've done things differently if I knew.'
