Hannah Ferrier was fired from Below Deck Mediterranean, show sources are claiming.
Ferrier had claimed in a new interview that she was ‘done’ with the reality show after the fifth and current season, while listing the reasons she didn’t want to stay on the yacht.
But insiders have told Page Six that she didn’t choose to quit, she was fired. There is also surprise in the Bravo camp that Ferrier would say she was quitting because the whole thing will be played out on the show.
Away she goes: Hannah Ferrier was fired from Below Deck Med, it’s been revealed. This comes after she gave an interview about being ‘probably done’ with the reality TV show
The report contradicts comments the 33-year-old, who features prominently on the show as head stewardess of a yacht, made to Entertainment Tonight.
‘I learned when I first started yachting in my very early 20s, you know, I would see these women who were in their late 30s, 40s, sitting at a bar, getting wasted with 20-year-olds living in a tiny cabin, and I was like, I don’t want [that],’ she said.
‘I want this to be a good, fun, enriching experience that allows me to travel a lot, but I don’t want to get to the stage where I’m locked into yachting and there’s nothing else in my life except that,’ Hannah explained.
Hannah, who has been on the show since season one and has lately had tension with Captain Sandy Yawn, said: ‘It’s a bit different if you’re captain, but as a chief stew? They just don’t seem like very happy people to me.’
She dished that she was already planning to quit before season five but filmed it anyway just to make sure she really wanted to leave.
Hannah teased: ‘I think it’s definitely different to any season the viewers have ever seen before when it comes to me.’

She shared: ‘That’s the thing that people don’t realize sometimes is like, you are in your head space and where you are, the way you’re acting is normal to you, but you never really know how that’s going to, you know, come across or appear.’
Hannah pointed to a season four moment where Sandy ‘said that I wasn’t passionate about yachting, which is a difficult one to tackle because I’m not passionate about boats and machines and anchor watches and how things work on boats.’
However she insisted: ‘I am very passionate about making sure that the guests have a good time and that they’re never wanting for anything, and I believe I do that.’
‘I could’ve fired you a long time ago, Hannah. I could’ve fired you last year or the year before,’ said Sandy in a sizzling trailer for season five.

Hannah dished in her new interview: ‘I think Sandy responds very well to people who who kiss a**, and I’m not good at that. I’m much more of a like, I’m here to do my job.
‘I have respect for you as my captain, but at the same time, I do say no to her sometimes, which I don’t think goes down very well.’
Sandy meanwhile remained dismissive of Hannah’s claim that she will leave the show, telling Entertainment Tonight: ‘She’s said that every season. Do you know how many crews say that? Everyone at the end of the season.’
Said she: ‘I don’t live in Hannah’s mind, thankfully. I don’t know. Like, that’s up to Hannah. We get out of yachting and we get back into yachting. So many people do.’
Not buying it: Sandy meanwhile remained dismissive of Hannah’s claim that she will leave the show, telling Entertainment Tonight: ‘She’s said that every season’
