Captain Jason Chambers of “Below Deck Down Under” is clarifying recent rumors regarding a supposed encounter with Heather Gay.
Appearing on Monday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” Chambers initially seemed evasive but eventually refuted the “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star’s claim.
When host Andy Cohen inquired about Gay’s comment that they had “knocked knees,” the 52-year-old Australian uneasily echoed, “Knocked knees.”
Chambers elaborated, “We did spend time in Sydney during the Bravo event. You’ve visited Sydney for the Mardi Gras, so you know, what happens in Sydney stays there, right?”
Daisy Kelliher, who is set to join the new season of “Below Deck Down Under,” interpreted this as confirmation of the incident. However, Chambers was quick to assert, “No, it’s not true. It’s not true.”
“But what a friendship!” he made sure to add. “Beautiful people. So, so funny and had such a good time hanging out with them, and I’m glad that the friendship built so that they wanted to come on the boat for a charter.”
Gay, 51, made the claim on a recent episode of “RHOSLC,” which showed her organizing a yacht trip to the island of Canouan in the Grenadines with her co-stars to film with the “Below Deck Down Under” cast.
At one point, “RHOSLC” cast member Britani Bateman, who had shown interest in Chambers earlier in the episode, called Gay out for “canoodling” with him.
“Jason and I are friends. We have a history,” Gay explained during the alcohol-fueled exchange. “We’ve f–ked around before. It’s, like, there’s nothing there.”
When a shocked Bateman asked Gay to specify what she meant by “f–ked around,” the latter replied, “We’re friends. I’m saying we’re friends, so there’s latitude.”
Gay seemed to regret spilling the tea; during a later confessional, she insisted she had no recollection of the conversation and begged producers to cut it from the episode.
“I said that? Serious face? You can’t use that,” she pleaded. “I don’t know why I said that to her. Delete. Delete.”
