From the streets of Durham to the world, this is Durham News Today. Ellie from Below Deck Down Under is clearing up some drama from her recent comments. She joined season 4 after a cruise shake-up, left the chef spot open instead of a stew position. Captain Jason Chambers asked her to switch to the galley, and she happily agreed since he wanted experienced leaders on board. She has been working at sea since 2016, which is just a fact she shared, not meant to shade anyone. Ellie's got tense when Daisy and Jenna pushed back, defending the idea that her move protected someone else's job. Fans noticed the backlash right away, and Ellie says their reactions felt mean-spirited and unnecessary. She was surprised since she was just explaining her side after getting the call to join the boat. Ellie calls the issue with Daisy one-sided, but she holds no grudges. She does not mind Daisy, not liking her and wants to move forward without problems. Meanwhile, Ellie jumped in mid-season after her first in on Below Deck Mediterranean.

She found out about the chef role at the airport and had to adapt fast to the new team. The show airs Mondays at 8pm Eastern on Bravo, with episodes on Peacock the next day.
