Below Deck Down Under charter guest Erik Rock came under fire after his stint on the show over his behavior.
As Monsters and Critics reported, fans were coming for Erik, calling him “trash” for his misogynistic ways.
On Erik’s last episode, Chief Stew Lara Rigby cringed when Erik gave a speech on how women should treat men.
In her confessional, Lara expressed her disgust for Erik as she listened to his words.
However, it seems the primary charter guest may not be as bad as Below Deck Down Under viewers thought.
Lara herself has come out to stand up for Erik as fans drag him.

The chief stew also shared an Instagram Story of the crew having a blast on the night out. One fan commented that the crew’s personalities really came out in the most recent episode, and Lara agreed.
