Below Deck Med star chef Johnathan Shillingford reacts to apology from rude guests, responds to edit claims
Below Deck Med star chef Johnathan “Jono” Shillingford has become the latest cast member to speak out about charter guests Mahisha Dellinger and Neysla Paltsev.
The two women were blasted for their rude behavior during their charter on Below Deck Med Season 9.
All of the backlash led to Neysla apologizing for her actions with Chief Stew Aesha Scott and at other times on the show.
As Monsters and Critics previously reported, Mahisha spoke out to set the record straight on her behavior, and things Below Deck Med viewers didn’t see on-screen.
Captain Sandy Yawn spoke out about the rude behavior; now, Jono is addressing the apologies.
The chef also had thoughts about Neylsa and Mahisha calling out editing.

Speaking with Us Weekly to talk all things Below Deck Med Season 9, as the end nears, Jono addressed the apologies.
“I think their apology was great for sure [where they were] taking responsibility for some of their snarky comments,” he shared.
Jono was here for Mahisha and Neylsa taking responsibility for their actions, but that doesn’t mean their actions on the Mustique yacht were okay.
“While that’s not OK, some people may have a bad day. The fact that they took responsibility for it was a great move on their part,” the chef expressed.
One thing Jono can’t justify is the editing. While neither Neylsa nor Mashisha said they got a bad edit, they did express that things were spliced together and didn’t happen as fans necessarily saw.
“In any show, there are things that are cut [or] things that maybe were dramatized because the camera does that anyways. Regardless of all of that, they did say things that were offensive,” Jono dished to Us Weekly.
