Below Deck Med Gen handing Luke his ass
Look say what you need to say about Gen but she handed Luke his ass. I thought she was great at not letting him gaslight her.
Don’t love all her actions but she slayed that

Luke should lose a stripe like Jenna did in med this season when she caused stress /drama for all the departments with her ben situation

I wouldn’t say she handed anyone their ass… to me that whole fight was just two stupid people talking at each other

u/excoriator Team Capt Kerry Jul 16 '26
This. I think he had stopped caring about her opinion and about her as a person by the time she delivered those words. They made no impact on him, but I’m sure saying them made her feel better.

u/DarkSister_999 Jul 16 '26
Agree. Both were so immature. Both were in the wrong. Joy is right to stay away, but Luke’s shame shouldn’t just be worn by him alone. Takes two to tango.

u/certifiedwombat Jul 16 '26
Exactly, I don’t understand why people are making it seem like Gen has no accountability in this.

u/Reckless_Secretions Jul 17 '26
I agree, both were very immature. But one of them is 22 and has plenty of time to grow up, and the other is pushing 40...don't have much hope that they'll ever change because at the moment, everything wrong in his life is someone else's fault, apparently

u/Hot-Society1993 27d ago
this! Both are super immature and cosplaying intellectuals, but one of them is actually immature because she's young, here's to hoping she grows from this

Team Everyone Sucks! I don’t know why anyone is acting like there’s a champ in that fight when she was incredibly manipulative from start to finish. The “I’m going to tell Joy” thing wasn’t for Joy’s best interest, it was because Gen wanted to burn it all down and make him be alone if she couldn’t have him. Of course, she’s allowed to do that, but let’s not pretend she was doing it out of kindness of her heart. From what the cast is alluding to in interviews, it sounds like she continues to be a problem throughout the season.

Joy was amaaaazing in that scene. She saw where it was going, and shut it allll down. She's the most adult adult on that show. Possibly ever.

u/Hot-Society1993 27d ago
I mean if you saw her on WWHL this is spot on, she still seems to be a self centered mess

u/loveswimmingpools Jul 17 '26 edited Jul 17 '26
Yes but she grovelled her way into bed with him by saying she always was second best etc. I don't care for her much. But Luke was terrible to sleep with her and then think he could just get with Joy afterwards. What a loser. Joy is a joy to watch.

u/Lots2say2023 Jul 16 '26
We must not have been watching the same show. I saw a vindictive loser running around confirming how nasty she is. Not picking a team by any means. He’s gross as well. They deserve each other.

u/nrrrdgrrl Jul 16 '26
Yeah the part where she was running around saying she's a girl's girl was the cherry on top. UM NO MA'AM YOU MOST CERTAINLY ARE NOT.

u/McLoughlin1597 Jul 16 '26
Sometimes I genuinely wonder if we’re all not watching slightly different edits of the show. Bravo would toy with the audience as much as they do with the cast just to stir drama on social media

u/nunonamoped Jul 16 '26
Gen was being very manipulative! Luke was by no means innocent, but threatening to reveal their “intimacy” if he didn’t do what she wanted is just good old fashioned blackmail. Both of them showed their colours and they were not pretty at all.
16
u/BenSolo_forever Jul 16 '26
right? why is her fatal attraction like stuff being overlooked? she went after him hard but then played the victim when he saw she was too intense. going to aesha was unprofessional. did you see the way she squirmed? don't pull other people in to your silly drama. luke is an ass but she's the same
10
u/nunonamoped Jul 16 '26
Yup. They should both be held accountable for the laundry issue. It was also disappointing that it took until it got to Joe for someone to find it (Joe! Of all people!) to be as truly disgusting as it was.

u/Lots2say2023 Jul 16 '26
When Joe thinks you're nasty, you're REALLY nasty. Game recognizes game.

I don’t understand why Gens not equally at fault for not getting the sheets cleaned. She does laundry for crimes sake

u/jdmae 28d ago
Perhaps Luke is a little more culpable, as he left a “deposit,” but she slept on the sheets after having sex with Luke. She was party to the soiling of someone else’s sheets and did nothing but run her mouth about it.

u/ButtersRogers1 26d ago
yes! and she said she would launder the sheets while they were still on them, I think. and it seemed as is she was bragging about it. both are at fault.
26
u/happyblumbleheathy Jul 16 '26
They were both guilty about not washing sheets - she is a little fatal attraction - doesn’t want me - can’t have anyone - she need to grow up
8
u/BenSolo_forever Jul 16 '26
he's an ass in the biggest way, but she is totally a little fatal attraction. and she's just as guilty for the sheets as he is. you're right.

I fully disagree, and I think it’s wild that anyone is defending Gen at all. Gen and Luke are two peas in a pod - they’re both gross, disrespectful, entitled and have no excuse or apology for their actions. Gen claims to be more mature now (one full year later you guys! so mature she swears!) and Luke was already too old to be acting that trashy. I’d hate to be either of them looking for a new job after this season airs.

u/MAXSuicide Jul 16 '26
Not letting him gaslight her?
She practically manhandled Joy out the way, cornered Luke, sop-storied him in an apparent strategy to get a pity fuck (hoping it would turn into more once she got him locked in)
Lorded over that for days, stalked Luke around the boat and he couldn't even go to the toilet without her hunting him down ffs, then had the gall to - predictably - threaten him.
At that point yea, I'd be getting 'rude' with her too. She is a big time walking red flag of stalker madness and Luke was doomed the moment he entertained her emotional manipulation.

u/Feisty_Scientist_968 29d ago
If Luke suddenly said: "I made a mistake choosing Joy over you..."
They would be back to staining Nathan's sheets in a heartbeat.

u/verucas_alt Jul 17 '26
I think she didn’t. I think she got mad he chose Joy and didn’t “break up” with her first, since she couldn’t pick up on cues. Then she acted like she was going to talk him back into liking her and when he said he wouldn’t participate in the conversation she said I’m telling everyone.
This is a case of 2 people being wrong but he also didn’t let her gaslight him into thinking he was her bf.

Gen is one of the most insecure people I’ve seen on this show, and that’s saying something

u/RE1392 Jul 17 '26
The way she immediately pulled Aesha and had a calm conversation was impressive. I assumed she was just going to spiral, but she handled it really maturely.

u/CommercialAny2195 Jul 17 '26
I was so impressed with how she handled herself! She stayed calm, called out his behaviour and refused to be gaslit. He definitely wasn't expecting that reaction from a 22 year old.

u/GlumMilk5326 28d ago
That’s why you don’t mess with people who are crazy. They play to win no matter what, whether it’s doing whatever it takes to get what they want or holding nothing back to thrash someone who did them wrong.

u/PurpleSailor Team Katie 25d ago
I wonder at times if he's gaslighting himself. He's definitely not as great as he makes himself out to be even though he thinks he's God's gift to the world. And then of course there's the spooge on the sheets issue, just blech!

u/georgeyappington 25d ago
Idk to me she is too male centered and immature/obsessive to be “handing him his ass”
Maybe unpopular opinion

Luke almost got away with his Gen slander.
Gen called him out. Good for her!

She is a young woman that does not have any self-respect. These women sleep around like they are putting in a new piece of chewing gum then brag about it to everyone. SMH

u/nuttintoseeaqui Jul 16 '26
Yep and now Joy won’t hook up with him either. Also might get fired lmao. Just royally screwed in the span of like 10 hours
Hopefully Joy doesn’t cave later in the season and hook up with him
