Jill Zarin expresses disappointment in Fraser Olender for not publicly defending her following her controversial appearance on “Below Deck,” despite their initial friendship and her facing backlash for her behavior and requests on the show.
Jill Zarin’s got something to say about Fraser Olender not standing up for her. After her *Below Deck* debut, things got a bit rocky.
She spilled the tea to *Us Weekly*. Jill and Fraser? They were tight for a year. Then, radio silence. Until this week.
Her stint on *Below Deck*? It’s been the talk of the town. That lengthy preference sheet of hers on St. David stirred the pot.
Fraser even felt bad for her. Said she didn’t deserve the flak she was getting. But when Jill asked him to go public with his support, he ghosted.
Oh, and there’s drama brewing in other corners of the Bravo universe. *Below Deck* feuds? They’re as salty as the sea.
Jill’s over trying to patch things up with Fraser. She reached out on Instagram, got a sympathetic ear, but nada more.
During her charter, she wasn’t just lounging around. She pointed out where the crew could do better. Not everyone appreciated her feedback, though.
Barbie Pascual called her “overwhelming.” Ouch. But she’s taken those words back.
Kyle from *Below Deck Med*? He’s on Team Jill. Said her requests were totally reasonable.
Fraser’s on-screen confession that he “just hated Jill” caught her off guard. They had fun, laughed a lot. Jill thought they were good.
After disembarking, Jill reached out to Fraser, thanking him for a great time. She hoped to stay in touch.
Despite the drama, Jill has no regrets. She wanted to share her side, especially after hearing the crew’s behind-the-back chatter.
Fraser had kind words for Jill before the episodes aired. Called her “sweet” and “funny” but, yeah, demanding.
*Below Deck* has seen its fair share of drama over the years. This Jill and Fraser thing? Just the latest chapter.
Jill had specific requests. Like, only Diet Coke, please. And she joked about being “allergic to sugar.”
Fraser found Jill’s ice preference amusing. Only ice from a specific freezer would do. If that’s the biggest issue, they’re doing alright.
Catch *Below Deck* season 11 on Bravo, Mondays at 9 p.m. ET. Peacock streams new episodes the next day.
*With a nod to Johnni Macke for the scoop.*
