On the latest season of Below Deck Mediterranean, tensions rose as Cathy Skinner expressed her concerns about Kizzi Kitchener’s part in a complicated love triangle with Joe Bradley and Victoria SanJuan.

In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Cathy stated, “I’m Switzerland. It’s not my problem to fix, and they should resolve it themselves unless it starts affecting work. I firmly believe in staying out of personal issues.”

She further elaborated on her stance, offering candid thoughts about the unfolding drama. “I don’t agree with how Kizzi handled the situation. Hopefully, watching it back will help her see there are better ways to manage such things,” Cathy remarked. “I don’t think Kizzi acts with malice. She’s simply self-centered, and she acknowledges that.”

The situation became particularly tangled when Joe Bradley, who is no stranger to romantic entanglements, kissed Kizzi while he was still involved with Victoria. Joe and Victoria had developed a bond when he joined mid-season, despite Victoria dealing with the grief of losing her ex-boyfriend.

Below Deck Mediterranean‘s Joe Bradley is no stranger to love triangles — but when he kissed Kizzi Kitchener while dating Victoria SanJuan he reached a whole new level of complicated. Joe and Victoria originally formed a connection when he joined halfway through season 10 and as she was still mourning the death of her ex-boyfriend […]

She concluded: “I wouldn’t have done it that way, but was it inevitable? Did I see it coming? You don’t have to have a third eye to know that was going to happen — especially when you’re there and you see all the flirting.”

Joe and Victoria formed a connection when he joined halfway through season 10 as she was still mourning the death of her ex-boyfriend Bon. Below Deck Med viewers are familiar with Joe’s past love triangle with Bri Muller and Elena Dubaich.

“My message is I’m single, and if you want to have a bit of fun and give me the same energy that it just gets a bit chaotic,” Joe exclusively told Us in November 2025 about returning to the franchise. “But I’m your friend at the end of the day, so I’ve still got contact with Elena and I am still in contact with Bri.”

He continued, “We’re friends and we’re young and we’re in a closed environment. It’s going to happen. But I’ve got contact with everyone and I’ve got no malicious intentions.”

Joe joked he learned “absolutely nothing” from his drama with Bri and Elena, adding, “To answer that question without a smile on my face, [my love life this season] was just chaos.”

Before Joe’s infidelity played out on screen, Victoria also broke her silence on where they stand now.

The cast of Below Deck and its spinoff series will do just about anything for love … or at least to have a fun crew hookup. After seven seasons of the Bravo series — with more than 100 episodes — there have been plenty of romances to watch unfold. Add in the Below Deck Mediterranean flings and Below Deck Sailing […]

“Joe and I will always be cordial and will always be professional. But I don’t really consider him part of my friend group,” she told Us earlier this month. “The men I keep in my friend group, I admire them because they’re more honest, have self-control, hold themselves accountable and have respect — those kinds of qualities.”

Victoria hinted at what caused their falling out, adding, “So I wish him all the best. I think he is a lovely human but I think he has got a lot to learn from his mistakes — if he’s willing to learn from them.”

Kizzi, for her part, spoke to Us about whether she had any regrets since filming season 10, sharing in October 2025, “In the moment, you literally forget there’s a camera crew, especially when you’ve had a drink and these people are your friends. If there weren’t cameras, I can’t even imagine what other people say.”

She continued: “I definitely could tone it down in places but I also want to be myself and be real. These things do happen in real life and it doesn’t make you a bad person. … Watching it back, I regret sharing so much with people that aren’t thinking about the context.”

Below Deck Med airs on Bravo Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
