by Below Deck’s Luke Blasted As Aggressive & Creepy After Kissing Margot
Luke Jones has shocked Below Deck Down Under viewers by forcefully kissing new presenter Margot Sisson. The spin-off of the popular reality show has just begun, but the bosun is already causing trouble on Captain Jason’s ship.
Recently, the 35-year-old Australian crossed the line by aggressively kissing Margot, the Northern Sun’s third stewardess. Standing close to Margot, Luke pointed out that she had an eyelash on her face. As she closed her eyes, he leaned in and kissed her, leaving her panicked.
Margot wasn’t the only one unsettled. Viewers also condemned Luke’s actions. One Twitter user expressed disgust, stating, “That doesn’t mean there aren’t idiots,” and shared a viral GIF (via @MarissaRapier). Another viewer described Luke as “creepy” throughout the episode (via @rhopstan). A different user wrote, “Luke is so aggressive and it makes me uncomfortable” (via @KLynnRN), emphasizing the unease many felt about his behavior.
Below Deck’s Luke Jones Compared To Sailing Yacht’s Gary King
Fans have compared Luke to Below Deck Sailing Yacht star Gary King on social media. Gary is known for his flirtatious nature, often pursuing new women onboard. However, viewers feel Luke’s actions go beyond playful flirting.
One fan tweeted, “Luke definitely makes Gary look bad” (via @Mijikeme). Another added, “Hitting Luke makes Gary look like a gentleman” (via @ErinSavage3722), suggesting Gary’s behavior seems tame in comparison. A third fan wrote, “Luke is the Gary of the season. Luke kissing Margot is totally out of place” (via @SalsaGuyNy).
Despite his young age and the presence of attractive women, Luke had no right to kiss Margot without consent. She was new to Captain Jason’s yacht, arriving in episode 2, meaning Luke knew little about her. She could already be in a happy relationship, making his actions even more inappropriate.
Luke has displayed troubling behavior before. Earlier in the season, he went to bed early despite knowing that drunk guests were on board. His absence meant no one could stop them from jumping into the ocean.
Luke needs to take responsibility, apologize to Margot, and avoid further inappropriate behavior. Fans hope he learns from this and refrains from similar actions in the future.
