Chef Mila’s Homophobic Comments on ‘Below Deck Med’ Will Make Your Jaw Drop

Holy shit, Chef Mila. If you thought garbage nachos and microwaving steak and even LICKING raw steak were bad, none of those kitchen mess-ups remotely compare to the Below Deck Mediterranean chef’s outdated, harmful, and totally horrifying homophobic comments she unleashed in the latest episode.

While Aesha the stew is already confirming herself as the breakout star of the season, most notably for pointing out that the seeds on the outside of a strawberry are their ovaries, it’s Chef Mila that continues to fail. From grumbling about having to bake a cake, to making one that was entirely inedible, to having Anastasia bail her ass out by whipping one up for the guest’s birthday, things weren’t going great for Mila on the boat. She blankly nodded through a meeting with Captain Sandy, and then randomly asked Jack if he preferred boys, and even dropped the comment that, “In Russia, men don’t cry even at their moms’ funerals so it makes me feel uncomfortable and weird,” all of which should’ve been glaringly red flags. But it wasn’t until she was in the van on the way to the group’s night out where things got even worse than imagined.

After noticing that Travis, who was seated in front of her, has a nose ring, she commented that she “would’ve questioned him as well,” referring to her previous questioning of Jack’s sexuality.

Travis, emerging as an early hero of this season shot back, “Mila, you’re classic Russian, a homophobe.”

“Ooh la la, yes we are,” she responds sarcastically. “I don’t want to see a man kissing a man in front of me,” she states. Of course, Jack leans over from the back seat to kiss Travis at this moment, which is just perfect.

“I don’t mind it, it gets me going,” Travis said.

“In your home, you can do whatever you want. I don’t want my son to be growing up and seeing two men kissing each other and thinking this is normal because this is not fucking normal. It’s not fucking normal,” Mila says, reinforcing her horrendous beliefs in a manner that is sure to make your jaw drop.

Now, a shoutout to the editors of Below Deck Med is owed at this point as they so effortlessly cut to the other car, which finds Hannah, Joao and the rest of the crew saying Mila seems sweet enough, if not an expert in the kitchen. And then we’re back to her being the worst!

“I love Putin,” she declares. “I am fucking proud of Putin, yes, and I’m very proud of him that he doesn’t let the gay parades happening in our country.”

Travis somehow remains relatively calm when he tells her, “I’m gonna get out of this van and I will never speak to you as a human being ever again.”

“Look at you, it’s like some personal feelings being touched here,” she taunts him.

“Maybe I’ve been with men. You don’t know that. Maybe my friends are them,” he tells her. He goes on to say, “Homosexual is absolutely natural, so fuck you,” and tells Mila, “Your opinion on gays shows your opinion on humanity which is fucking terrible and I don’t support it.”

Mila, if you can believe it, only makes it worse by comparing homosexuality to bestiality, asking, “Why is fucking an animal is not normal? But how can a man fuck a man?”

“Sit on the opposite end of this fucking table from me, you absolute oxygen thief,” Travis tells her with the clap back of the year.

Below Deck Mediterranean airs Monday at 9pm ET/PT on Bravo.
