Luke Jones was already infamous for his questionable ethics and behavior on the set of Below Deck Down Under, known from the outset as a “troublemaker.” But during episode 7 of season 2, he took it too far and was subsequently booted from the show by Captain Jason Chambers. During the wild episode, Jack apparently climbed into stewardess Margot Sisson‘s bed naked — without her consent. Second stew Laura Bileskalne was also fired due to her reaction to the incident, per PEOPLE. A representative from the show declined to comment on the widely-discussed incident after a request from HollywoodLife.
“Last night there were boundaries crossed,” Captain Jason said during the episode, as he confronted Luke and fired him from The Northern Sun. “There was indecency, and you went into someone’s else cabin without consent.” “Like I was naked?” Luke asked. “Yeah,” Captain Jason said before adding, “Unfortunately I’ve got nothing else but to terminate your employment.”
“I accept that,” Luke replied. “I’m sorry, and I’m just so disappointed in my myself.”
