In a candid moment that has viewers buzzing, chief stewardess Aesha Scott of Bravo's Below Deck Mediterranean shared an unexpected personal story during the show's latest episode. On Monday, January 5, 2025, while chatting with fellow stew Kizzi Kitchener aboard the luxury yacht, Scott revealed she had once tasted breast milk directly from a friend's breast. The conversation arose when Kitchener expressed her long-standing curiosity about trying breast milk herself.
Scott, known for her bubbly personality and unfiltered remarks, didn't hold back in describing the experience. "I sucked milk out of my friend's tits before," she said, according to a recap from Us Weekly. She went on to describe it positively: "It was really nice, actually. It was very sweet. The milk comes from everywhere. I thought it came from the slit and your nipple. It comes out of all of the holes. I don’t even know that [they] have that many holes."
The New Zealand native elaborated further, adding a whimsical touch to her anecdote. "It’s fascinating. It’s like a rain shower. I was pretending I was being a little lamb and I was [sucking] straight from the teat. It is so fun," Scott shared during the episode, which aired on Bravo at 8 p.m. ET. The revelation came amid the high-stakes world of superyacht chartering, where the crew navigates demanding guests and tight schedules in the Mediterranean Sea.
Below Deck Mediterranean, now in its ninth season, follows the crew of a 197-foot yacht as they cater to wealthy clients on lavish voyages. Scott, who joined the series in season 7 as a second stewardess and returned as chief stew in season 9, has become a fan favorite for her professionalism mixed with quirky humor. The show, a spin-off of the original Below Deck franchise that premiered in 2013, has chronicled dramatic interpersonal conflicts, opulent parties, and the occasional mishap over the years.
This isn't the first time Scott has entertained audiences with her bold disclosures. Earlier in the season, during a July 2024 episode, she opened up about her unconventional way of sharing intimate moments with her fiancé, Scott “Scotty” Dobson. "When I do a really big one, I like to show Scott. He doesn’t like it, but I do it anyway," she confessed, referring to sending photos of her bowel movements. "Every time I send him a photo of my poop, he says, ‘Honey, you really don’t need to send me that.’ He could try saying thank you."
Scott's off-screen stories add layers to her on-air persona. In a January 2025 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, the 32-year-old recounted one of the most unpleasant tasks from her yachting career. When host Andy Cohen asked about the grossest thing she's done for a guest, Scott replied, "I’m not here to judge, but the most disgusting thing I’ve done with a guest is finger their poop out of the shower plug hole. That’s probably not the best experience."
Elaborating on the incident, Scott explained the bizarre circumstances. "They pooped in the shower and they didn’t want me to see it, so they stomped it into the drain hole and put the drain cover back on thinking it would just leak away," she said. The attempt backfired, leading to a plumbing issue: "But that’s not how plumbing works, and we had a flood. So I sniffed it and then I discovered it [in the shower]."
The story ties back to an earlier episode this season, where Kitchener encountered a similar mess while performing room turnovers. Despite a couple of guests instructing her not to enter their cabin, Kitchener proceeded with cleaning duties and noticed a foul odor in the bathroom. She discovered feces in the shower, prompting Scott to assist her colleague in handling the cleanup.
Viewers of Below Deck Mediterranean have come to expect such unvarnished glimpses into the crew's lives, blending luxury with the gritty realities of service work. The franchise, produced by 51 Minds Entertainment, has featured a rotating cast of chief stews over the years, from Kate Chastain in the original series to Hannah Ferrier in earlier seasons of the Mediterranean edition. Scott's tenure highlights her evolution from junior staff to leadership, often under pressure from captain Sandy Yawn and the demanding interior team dynamics.
The January 5 episode also showcased ongoing tensions among the crew, including interpersonal drama that has been a staple of the show since its 2016 debut. Related coverage from Us Weekly points to the series' history of explosive moments, such as heated arguments over work ethic and romantic entanglements that spill into professional duties. Scott's lighthearted breast milk story provided a brief, humorous respite amid these heavier plotlines.
Beyond the yacht, Scott's openness has endeared her to fans who appreciate her authenticity in an industry often glamorized on screen. Her relationship with Dobson, whom she met while working on another vessel, has been a recurring topic. The couple, who got engaged in 2023, frequently shares updates on social media, offering a window into life off the boat.
As the season progresses, episodes continue to air Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo, with next-day streaming available on Peacock. Upcoming installments are expected to delve deeper into crew challenges, including navigation mishaps and guest expectations that test the limits of hospitality. Scott's revelations, while shocking to some, underscore the close-knit, no-holds-barred camaraderie that defines the Below Deck experience.
The show's popularity has grown steadily, with the Mediterranean version drawing millions of viewers per season. It has spawned international spin-offs and even a sailing counterpart, Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Critics and fans alike praise the series for humanizing the ultra-wealthy lifestyle, revealing the labor-intensive efforts behind seamless vacations costing tens of thousands of dollars per charter.
In reflecting on her career, Scott has emphasized resilience in interviews. Her stories, from the absurd to the intimate, paint a picture of someone unafraid to embrace the weirdness of her profession. As Below Deck Mediterranean sails into its final episodes, audiences are left wondering what other surprises Scott might share.
Whether it's tasting breast milk or tackling plumbing disasters, Aesha Scott's journey on the high seas continues to captivate, reminding viewers that even in the world of million-dollar yachts, human quirks remain front and center.
