Below Deck Down Under’s Laura Says Reality Stars Need to Be ‘Interesting’ After Consent Scandal

usmagazine.com:

Laura Bileskalne isn’t concerned about how she has been perceived following Below Deck Down Under‘s season 2 consent scandal.“I have always been mentally prepared that there will be negative messages for one topic or other, you can’t go on a reality show when having a strong personality and a character and expect people not to have opinions,” she wrote via her Instagram Story on Thursday, August 10. “This is reality TV, you have to be interesting enough to make people talk, that is basically the goal of good TV.

Nobody is going to talk about how good the deco looked or how the drinks were at preferred temperature.”Laura tagged Margot Sisson and Adam Kodra in the message while hinting that she was on good terns with her former costars. “I find it beautiful that we have this support for each other,” she added. “Even when the support for such topics means few hatred messages in my DMs.

I don’t take them personally but rather as a sign that people care. And are invested in the show, which is also very good to see.”During back-to-back episodes of the hit Bravo series, which aired on Monday, August 7, Luke Jones was shown getting into bed naked with Margot, who at the time was passed out after a crew night out.

Producers made Luke leave her room and he was fired by Captain Jason the next morning.Laura, for her part, got let go after she blamed Margot for Luke’s termination.
