Madison Stalker from Below Deck Sailing Yacht wanted to make one thing clear: she is in a good place with the group of Long Island charter guests with the exception of Lenny Michel.

Michel was seen lifting Stalker off her feet against her will. She calmly asked Michel to put her down but he didn’t listen. After she was finally returned to the ground, she kept her cool but walked away looking rattled.

An interview with Michel indicated that he thought he and Stalker were in a good place now. But Stalker says that simply isn’t true. She shared a screenshot of the story and her own comments.

He says they are fine, she says they are not

In the Newsday article, Michel said Stalker understood he wasn’t being inappropriate. “I was just having a good time, man,” he said, adding they are now friends “We’re under the same clear understanding. Like, it just is what it was. It wasn’t perceived [as inappropriate touching] on either side.”

He added, “If someone felt they were put in a position where they were completely uncomfortable with somebody, why would they fly out to a state where that person lives to come hang out with them?”

Stalker was not amused by Michel’s comments and wanted to clarify. “This article is very misleading. The rest of the boys and I are good now,” she wrote on her Instagram story. “They apologized, we’ve talked since. I’m a very understanding and forgiving person. Not Lenny. We’re not good. Makes my skin crawl to be in the same room as him.”

Stalker further clarified

She also shared a message exchange she had with Michel too. He blamed the tequila or just the fact he likes to “lift things up and put them down.” Stalker wasn’t buying it telling him getting drunk wasn’t an excuse. He added that at least she didn’t slap him. “Deplorable,” Stalker wrote along with the accompanying screenshot of the message exchange.

Fans were also confused when they saw Stalker, stew Georgia Grobler and deckhand Parker McCown go out with the guests in New York. Grobler and McCown were guests on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. Stalker sat in the audience.

Stalker shared that guest Dr. Francis “Frank” Martinis, “Graciously had us over for a great dinner and even picked me up from the airport. Tommy planned a lovely lunch at his family’s winery. Marshall’s just a misunderstood teddy bear,” Stalker shared on her Instagram story. She included a playful video from a home where the crew and guests were having fun.

She also responded to a tweet asking why she, Grobler and McCown went to dinner with the guests. “People can act differently in front of cameras. Now, add an Olympic sized pools worth of alcohol and bam. Horrible concoction. I told them they were being assholes. Some of them checked themselves and apologized. I had a great weekend with the guys. Really like 5/6,” Stalker replied.
