Laura on Below Deck Down Under

"He didn't go sneaking into her bed": Below Deck's Laura defends Luke after consent scandal

Below Deck Down Under stew Laura Bileskalne has doubled down on her defence of Luke Jones after he was fired for entering crewmate Margot Sisson’s room naked while she was asleep.

Laura – who was also fired for her uninvited advances on deck hand Adam Glick – told Kyle and Jackie O that Adam didn’t enter Margot’s room naked, despite footage showing exactly that.

“He didn’t go sneaking into her bed,” she told the radio hosts.

After entering Margot’s room naked, Luke climbed into her bed and woke her up. However, Laura stressed that he was simply checking in on her.

“She was not unconscious. You can see in the video she’s talking to him. He’s asking her. Are you feeling okay? She says yes. Sleepy time,” she said.

Laura said the crew decided to have a jacuzzi party together

Laura told the Australian radio hosts that the whole crew decided that they would leave the bar they were out to head back to the super yacht and have a party in the jacuzzi. While they were at the bar, Margot and Luke shared a kiss.

“He went into the cabin to talk to her only because we all agreed that we are going to continue the party of the jacuzzi because it was still covid time in Australia. We couldn’t stay out so we have to continue the party on the boat,” she said.

“So we all agree as we’re getting in the taxi that we’re gonna go to the Jacuzzi.”

Laura stressed that Luke was only checking up on Margot

Once they were back, chiew stew Aesha Scott was concerned that Margot was too drunk and that Luke was making inappropriate advances on her, so she put her to bed. Margot fell asleep and Luke later entered her room and climbed into her bed naked.

However, Laura said that Luke simply went to check on Margot and stressed that he didn’t enter the room naked.

“We were already on the way to the Jacuzzi and only Margot was sleeping. As the good friend of someone he just kissed a few minutes ago, he [Luke] goes to check up on her to see if she’s coming with us or not.

“So he went downstairs, he had boxers on, he took them off and took the towel around him. He did not go in the cabin naked,” she added.

“When he went up there the doors were open, that’s why the cameras saw it and they saw that there was a possible situation to have some scandal. So then when the producers come in, he had to rush to get out and he’s a bit drunk. You can see in the video that that’s where his towel drops.”
