Below Deck star Kyle Stille has been one hot topic on Season 12 from the second the trailer dropped.
The deckhand was seen hooking up with someone, then being accused of having sex with a married charter guest.
All of that came to a head on the most recent episode when Kyle ran his mouth that he crossed the line with primary charter guest Helen, who went topless, and used him as her flotation device in the water.
However, when Captain Kerry Titheradge called him out on it, Kyle quickly and confusingly changed his tune.
Despite telling the crew that he “slipped it in” with Helen, Kyle told the captain nothing happened and basically lied to the crew.
Even though Captain Kerry was angry, he didn’t fire Kyle, but that doesn’t mean the subject was dropped.
What happened between Below Deck’s Kyle and the married charter guest?
The episode ended with Kyle teasing a producer that perhaps he wasn’t really joking about hooking up with Helen, and something did happen. Kyle appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen following the episode with Fraser Olender.
Andy wasted no time asking Kyle the truth, and Kyle honestly gave a bit of a mixed message that didn’t go unnoticed by the host.
“No. Definitely didn’t. No,” Kyle spilled. “There was a point in time when I was in that sea, where I thought potentially something may have happened. But nothing happened … I was trying to be professional, and she was very much moving my hands towards her chest. There was a point in time where I will admit, I was slightly aroused.”
When Andy put him on the spot for lying to the crew, Kyle seemed to squirm a little more in his seat.
“It’s not my most proud moment. I don’t know why I said it, Andy. I’m not necessarily proud of what I did. I really can’t give you an answer on why I said it,” the deckhand expressed.
Fraser and Andy agreed that, depending on the day, Kyle seems to tell different versions of the story.
Kyle doubles down on his innocence
Bosun Hugo Ortega took to Instagram to address the Kyle and Helen drama. In a lengthy caption, Hugo reflected on times in the yachting world where he knew a crew member had hooked up with a guest.
The post featured a video of Hugo second-guessing Kyle’s claims that he didn’t have sex with Helen because of Kyle’s smirk and how he talks about it. Kyle popped up in the comments to once again deny any wrongdoing.
“I didn’t do it !!!! 🙂↔️🙂↔️🙂↔️,” Kyle wrote.
Only two people really know what happened that day in the water: Kyle and Helen. The latter has yet to speak out on the hot topic, and Kyle, who’s keeping us guessing with what went down.
Do you think Kyle hooked up with Helen on Below Deck?
Below Deck airs Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo.
