Although the “Below Deck Med” crew works on huge superyachts, the interiors can get pretty small — especially when it comes to gossip. Kyle Viljoen is no stranger to causing drama, and his loose lips caused a lot of tension during Season 8. After Natalya Scudder shaded Viljoen for sitting down with the charter guests, he later clapped back by telling Tumi Mhlongo that she should be happy not to be roommates with the native Australian (via Us Weekly). Later, Mhlongo told the cameras, “I thought they were friends but if he is talking s*** about her, he is definitely talking s*** about me.”
After the episode aired, Mhlongo wrote in a now-deleted tweet that was captured on Reddit, “One thing I regret is trusting Kyle!! Point blank period. I will own that.” A fan wrote, “He’s a snake. Plays best friend with Tumi before the boat, blasting Nat. Yet acts as if Nat and him have the best relationship and tells her all the s*** Tumi had been saying. He’s the worst type of person.” It seems that the feud has continued off the boat, and although filming has long ended, Mhlongo and Viljoen continue to go after each other.
