Truth about Trump-supporting Below Deck guest who was removed by police after drunk meltdown
Kelly Furey appeared on this week's episode of the hit reality show with a group of friends, who booked a four-day charter on the 60-meter St. David superyacht.
She started drinking soon after boarding the luxury vessel and refused to stop, even when asked by both the crew and her fellow guests.
Once intoxicated, Kelly defied the crew's orders and jumped into the ocean without a life vest on.
She was quickly removed from the water for her own safety, which caused her to become belligerent towards Captain Kerry Titheradge.
Things then turned political as Kelly started verbally abusing the crew and calling them ' Democrats ' as her friends attempted to calm her down.
'They're a**holes! They're f***ing a**holes! Yes they are, they're f***ing Democrats. Democrats! Democrats,' she shrieked.
The crew were eventually forced to confine a screaming Kelly to the master cabin, before calling the police to escort her off the yacht.
After the episode aired, Helen Hoey and Michelle Barone, who were both charter guests alongside Kelly, spoke to DailyMail.com about the shocking incident.
'Captain Kerry did the right thing,' said Helen, who was the primary guest and had invited Kelly on the jaunt.
'When you're putting other people's and your own life in jeopardy and you're impacting what we were there to do...' she continued.
'But Kelly's been an amazing friend and I'm sorry that what happened, happened.'
Helen threw her support behind Kelly, but stressed that she didn't condone her behavior on the superyacht.
'I wouldn't say it was about her drinking, it was more about her compromising her safety,' Helen said.
'We're on a private yacht so of course people are gonna partake a little too much. I'm not gonna defend her but that's what happens. I'm not monitoring my friend's alcohol intake.'
Michelle also praised the crew for how they handled the outrageous incident.
'Captain Kerry did the right thing. The captain is the person on the boat that you rely on to make sure you stay safe and I think he did exactly what he should have,' she said.
However, Michelle also revealed that the Below Deck charter wasn't the first time that she had seen questionable behavior from Kelly.
'If you were at the viewing party with us last night, she was the same way,' Michelle stated.
'I've been with Kelly on numerous occasions and she gets outta hand. She's not someone I like to party with because I just don't know what's gonna end up happening,' she continued.
'I do see that she has a good heart so I don't wanna leave her out in the dust, but it's hard when an adult acts this way,' she added.
The pair also both agreed that they were unimpressed by Kelly's political rant on board.
'That was the thing that bothered us the most, bringing politics on the boat,' said Helen.
'I consider that space Switzerland and we're there to have a great time and with our country right now, we need to unify and that's what I'm about,' she explained.
'And to come on board and to throw that around, I had a big issue with it, as did Michelle.'
Michelle added, 'I did not like that side of things. Unity, togetherness, that's what we're about.
'Helen and I are big women empowerment supporters. We love other women, we love other people,' she continued.
'We were there for a vacation and to have fun and enjoy four days without kids and just love each other and be there for each other, and [Kelly] makes it political out of nowhere.'
Despite the debacle, both Helen and Michelle are keen to return for another stint on Below Deck - even if it means sailing alongside Kelly again.
'If Captain Kerry is our captain, then I say yes,' gushed Helen.
'He knows how to handle confrontation and situations that can compromise our vacation. And I just love Below Deck, they do everything so well and elevated.'
Michelle added, 'If Helen tells me to go somewhere, I'm there. I'll just cross my fingers behind my back and hope that Kelly may not come this time!'

Cruz Beckham shares a snap of his green short shorts as he flaunts his love of the item - after THAT cheeky display in his Speedos
He caused a stir after being pictured in a pair of his father's Prada swimming trunks during a family getaway to St Tropez on the Beckham superyacht. And Cruz Beckham, 20, continued to promote his love of tiny shorts as he shared a new snap to his Instagram Stories sporting a green Adidas pair. The youngest son of Victoria and David Beckham proudly proclaimed: 'Yeah I wear short shorts, what are you gonna do about it!' The cheeky snap was taken aboard their £16million vessel named Seven and was accompanied by the music from The Royal Teens' song Short Shorts. Cruz has shared other playful snaps from the family trip, which has seen all of the Beckham brood and their partners bar Brooklyn, 26, holiday on the boat together. Last week, Cruz took hilarious swipe at his father David as he mimicked him once again in a pair of tight white pants that mirrored his dad's underwear campaign. He stripped down to £410 Prada Speedos during the family yacht trip, which seemed to be borrowed from his dad's wardrobe after he was spotted wearing them last year. Poking fun at his father, Cruz playfully posed on the boat in a stance reminiscent of David's iconic BOSS underwear campaign, where he wore white briefs and slouched in a chair to show off his muscular frame. Cruz captioned the shot: 'Spreadin em' [sic] However, Cruz wasn't the only joker in the family, as his older brother Romeo, 22, savaged him with a cheeky response in his comments, writing 'Jesus' which sparked a wave of replies from fans who appeared to all think the same thing. Days later, Cruz quipped that he 'didn't have anymore Speedo pictures' as he posted some wholesome snaps with his dad and brother Romeo. Sharing some shirtless snaps of the three men in swimming shorts, they posed with their arms around each other and also tucked into slices of pizza. Brooklyn and Nicola have kept away amid an ongoing family feud, as the pair lived it up on a £85million vessel that dwarfs his parents' close by the week before. The family has been thrown into turmoil in recent months as it has been claimed Brooklyn has become increasingly estranged from his famous parents after failing to attend any of his father David's 50th birthday celebrations in May. The couple traded in their £5million yacht for the much bigger vessel last year, and had been pictured on it sailing around Miami. The impressive looking vessel, understood to be worth £16million, was a significant upgrade on the comparatively modest 100-foot yacht reportedly purchased by Beckham in 2022. The football legend was said to have 'treated himself' to his original vessel in 2022 after being inspired by his maritime jaunts with close friends Sir Elton John and David Furnish - who often holiday at sea. A source told The Sun at the time: 'David had a look around some yachts in the summer, and decided to treat himself. He helped design the boat himself, and has been incredibly hands-on with everything. 'It's not an oligarch-style superyacht, but it's still pretty plush by anyone's standards. He was inspired after holidaying with Elton and David on their boat - and loves life on the water. 'There will be an area for the kids to snorkel, and the boat will be a brilliant base for the whole Beckham clan to have magical holidays abroad.' Earlier this week, Victoria gave a rare insight into her feelings about estranged son Brooklyn with a telling social media move. The former Spice Girl has proved she is still keeping tabs on her eldest son's moves by 'liking' several of his social media facts. Notably, in the three-weeks spanning July 5 and July 26 - she liked every single one of his posts that didn't feature Nicola. All posts in which he was seen with his wife, were not acknowledged by Victoria. It is possible that these posts - four out of the 16 - were simply not seen by her. Victoria has not liked any of Nicola's posts in the same time period. Nor have the Lola actress and Brooklyn liked any of Victoria's.

Newlyweds Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez invite Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria on to their $485m superyacht for a double date on the high seas
Jeff Bezos and enjoyed an A-list double date on Sunday as they welcomed Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria aboard their $485million superyacht, Koru. Hollywood actor Leo, 50, and his model girlfriend, 27, know their way around the ship, having previously joined the couple and bevy of stars for a trip last summer in Sardinia. This time, however, the quartet were living it up in Ibiza. They were casually clad for the day at sea, with Leonardo sporting a plain white T-shirt and shorts, as well as his trademark baseball cap and shades. Vittoria's model figure was on display in a blue strapless top that she paired with black yoga pants. Meanwhile Jeff, 61, and Lauren, 55, opted for clashing prints, with Lauren layering a printed kimono over a bikini while Jeff wore tropical swimming trunks with a navy T-shirt. The double date comes just weeks after the Amazon founder and presenter tied the knot in Venice - with the ceremony attracting criticism for its extravagance. Leonardo and Vittoria were among the VIP guests in attendance, which also included Sydney Sweeney, Oprah Winfrey and Orlando Bloom. Yet Leonardo faced a backlash, with the Hollywood star - who is known for his environmental advocacy - branded a 'hypocrite' for flying to Venice for the ceremony. The Titanic star has previously been open about his activism and a few months earlier in March, he slammed the Albanese government for giving the green light to a mine expansion in Western Australia. Yet social media users called out DiCaprio for flying to the wedding and slammed him for supporting Jeff amid Amazon's substantial carbon footprint. According to The Guardian, over 90 jets flew into the airport in the romantic city as celebrities attended the nuptials. It is not known if Leonardo took a private jet to the ceremony. Jeff and Lauren's wedding reportedly cost some $40million - which also faced protests in the city of Venice. Now Lauren wears a $5million diamond wedding ring that has fans as well as jewelers in an uproar. One of their A-list wedding guests recently revealed what their lavish nuptials were really like as they disclosed that none of the Bezos couple's 200 guests were told to sign non-disclosure agreements. The group have been good friends for years and often enjoy lavish trips together Sara Foster, the daughter of composer David Foster, shared details about the glamorous Venetian wedding on Thursday's episode of her The World's First Podcast. While talking to her sister Erin, she surprisingly revealed: 'No one signed NDAs. No NDAs.' She also said that the ceremony was 'very intimate' when asked to dish on the 'wedding of the century.' 'There's nothing. It's so interesting how the optics were this over-the-top, you know, protestors... It's just not, it's not what it was. It actually felt very intimate.' She also revealed that there were 'definitely a lot of people that were not photographed' but chose to keep mum on the identities of the low-key attendees. 'I can't. I mean, that's, like, so lame. I'm not gonna do that. But it's very interesting how many people went un-photographed. It was definitely a very interesting set-up.' The wedding festivities spanned three days, with the event kicking off with a foam party on their boa t. The couple partied off the island of Cres in Croatia in a final pitstop before arriving in Italy for their long-awaited wedding. Jeff's superyacht is named the Koru, which translates to 'new beginnings' in Maori, according to The Independent. The Amazon founder initially commissioned the construction of the vessel for $485million in 2018, and it took almost five years to build. The Koru has three decks and is 250-feet tall, marking the world's tallest sailing yacht. Boat International reported in April 2023 that it has a trio of masts that measure at a distance eclipsing 230 feet. It measures at a width of 416 feet, only one of four yachts globally that eclipses the length of 328 feet. The vessel was made by the Dutch company Oceano. The boat was the topic of controversy in February 2022 when Oceano asked Rotterdam to take apart a bridge that is more than 100 years old, the Koningshaven Bridge, to accommodate the masts of the Koru. Amid local protests, Oceanco made alternate plans to install the masts. Meanwhile, Jeff and Lauren are said to be working on a new venture - helping Sydney Sweeney launch a lingerie line. The Euphoria star, 27, recently raised eyebrows after attending the Amazon founder's lavish wedding despite not being friends with the couple. But it seems the new project might partly be why, as Jeff and his wife have reportedly 'invested' in her venture, according to Us Weekly. An insider revealed the Emmy-nominated actress is 'launching a lingerie line very soon', in news that comes in line with rumours she is set to be a Bond Girl. 'This has been a huge project for her and something she's been working on for the last year,' the source added. The lingerie line is being backed by Ben Schwerin, a partner at private equity firm Coatue according to Puck. The company recently had a $1billion investment from Bezos and fellow tech giant Michael Dell via their Coatue Innovation Fund. It seems Sydney's arrival at the wedding was a show of respect for her future boss, as per Page Six. Back in March, Sydney signed on to star in the video game adaptation of the recent hit Split Fiction. The adaptation will be directed by Jon M. Chu (Wicked) and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Deadpool & Wolverine). Then in early June, Amazon MGM Studios picked up the project, which seemingly lead to an invite extended to Sydney for the wedding. A source admitted Sydney, 'is not friends with either one of them,' though adding she, 'came to pay respect to the 'boss,' just like in the old days of Hollywood.' The fantasy/sci-fi game Split Fiction follows authors Mio and Zoe who become trapped within the worlds they have written. It's unclear which of the two main characters Sweeney will portray, with Amazon said to be 'actively looking' to cast her co-star. Her affiliation with Jeff, who has creative control of the next James Bond movie, also appears to have brought her closer to one of the most esteemed roles a Hollywood star could ask for - that of a Bond Girl. A movie source said: 'Sydney is the top name on the casting sheet for Bond. Denis believes she is hugely talented, as well as having an alluring appeal to younger generations, vital in modernising the franchise... 'They've hung out together a lot and he has admired her stratospheric rise. Plus she has the quality of being athletic and able to perform physical scenes, as well as being feminine and following in the legacy of Bond girls.' Though Sydney is primarily known for her acting career, she's also been growing a business empire. Earlier in May she collaborated with men's grooming brand Dr. Squatch to launch a limited-edition soap bar called 'Bathwater Bliss.' According to the brand, the soap contains actual droplets of Sydney's used bathwater - which some fans found 'weird' and 'gross.' She also serves as a global ambassador for brands including Laneige skincare, Kérastase haircare, HeyDude footwear, and Bai beverages. Sydney will be returning to HBO's Euphoria as Cassie Howard, and she recently starred in Apple TV Plus' Echo Valley with Julianne Moore. She is also playing trailblazing female boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic that is in post-production and expected to be released later this year. Sydney has an estimated net worth of $40 million and in 2023 she made Forbes' 30 Under 30 list.
