Hostess Jessika Makanalani Asai in Below Deck Med Season 8 is linked to this controversial Below Deck star.
Below Deck fans are used to having their favorite crew members return season after season. However, every now and then Bravo introduces some new stars to the successful series.
A newcomer soon to make her screen debut is Jessika Makanalani Asai. She was a hostess in Below Deck Mediterranean Season 8, working under Down Under alumnus Tumi Mhlongo.
While it can be intimidating to join a popular reality series without any previous experience in front of the camera, Jessika has a friend on the series who she can learn from. And viewers aren’t excited about who it is.
Who does Jessika of Below Deck Med know from BD?
Judging by the many photos they took together on her Instagram page, Jessika is close friends with Heather Kapiolani.
Heather served as head hostess on Season 9 of Below Deck, working alongside fan favorite Fraser Olender.
Her reality TV debut sparked controversy when she apologized for singing along to a song containing racial slurs. She did not return for Season 10 and soon announced her retirement from yachting.
Viewers will soon know if Jessika will mention her friendship with Heather to the rest of the Season 8 cast. Because if so, it can cause uncomfortable feelings. It happened to viewers who discovered their connection and discussed it on the Reddit thread below.
One fan wrote, “Like:” when your best friend is racist >>>>”
Another fan chimed in and wrote, “Yiiiikes.”
New episodes of Below Deck Med Season 8 air every Monday night on Bravo.
