Laura Bileskalne<\/strong> is looking back at her time<\/a> on Below Deck Down Under<\/em><\/a> \u2014 and there isn\u2019t much she would change.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith all the false accusations, people ask me if I regret going on the show? And my answer is NO!\u201d the reality star wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, October 24. \u201cI learned so much about myself and about people in general. It did boost my self esteem by seeing how obnoxious a great amount of people are and realizing that I have nothing on them made me feel good about myself. I don\u2019t even need to try to not be like them, I am just not like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

After watching the drama unfold on screen, Laura is even more confident that she has \u201cno regrets\u201d about the experience<\/a>, adding, \u201cThat realization has made me love myself and see myself in a different light. Some time ago it was kind of hard to believe when people told me \u2018Hang in and you will see, everything happens for a reason.\u2019 But now I do. Grateful for all the attention \u2014 good and bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Laura has stood by her actions even after receiving backlash from Below Deck<\/em> viewers for her involvement<\/a> in season 2\u2019s highly discussed consent scandal. During an August episode, Luke Jones was fired by Captain Jason<\/strong> after he got into Margot Sisson<\/strong>\u2018s bed naked while she was asleep. Production stepped in and removed Luke from the boat<\/a> immediately.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tStirring the plot! The Below Deck franchise has had its fair share of drama over the years \u2014 and Below Deck Down Under is no different. The spinoff show, which premiered on Peacock in March 2022, left a memorable impression on viewers when it came to feuds, firings and chaos. During the first season, fans [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Shortly after Luke\u2019s exit, Laura publicly voiced her disappointment and subsequently blamed Margot<\/a> for what transpired. Her comments \u2014 and past unwanted advances toward deckhand Adam Kodra<\/strong> \u2014 were reported to Jason, who eventually asked her to leave the boat as well.<\/a><\/p>\n

Laura initially issued an apology to her costars.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy sincere apologies to Adam, I did not realize I made him feel uncomfortable and no one should be put in that position,\u201d she wrote via Instagram in August. \u201cAnd to Margot to not been [sic] able to empathize. I was 29 when the show was filmed, 30 was my life-changer. I am 31 now and I am watching it as all of you, an entertainment show.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, she has since changed her tune and continues to support Luke<\/a>. \u201cI will stay loyal to myself and my friend @lukebonesjones. I never do or ever will stand up for what is wrong. And you can not bent [sic] me. I am a hustler and you have nothing on me,\u201d she wrote via Instagram days after the drama unfolded. \u201c#Hatersgonnahate. And that\u2019s on you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tBravo and Peacock viewers were in for a treat with the premiere of Below Deck Down Under \u2014 with many of the show\u2019s stars leaving a lasting impression. The spinoff series, which debuted in 2022, featured Below Deck Mediterranean alum Aesha Scott. The chief stew joined Captain Jason Chambers and the rest of the group [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, Luke has largely remained tight-lipped about his time on Below Deck Down Under<\/em>. Before the incident aired on Bravo, Luke seemingly described his feelings about reality TV<\/a> as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t Matter what they think about you because you don\u2019t Care. Everything we Hear is an Opinion, Not a Fact. Everything we see is a Perspective. Not the Truth. Take Ownership and move forward,\u201d he wrote in an Instagram post from August that has since been deleted.<\/p>\n

In the aftermath, Jason and Aesha Scott<\/strong> were applauded by fellow stars<\/a> and viewers alike for their swift response. The captain weighed in on the widespread praise after being honored as a Guardian in Us Weekly<\/em>\u2018s Reality Stars of the Year<\/a> inaugural issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cI honestly spent hours and hours every day replying back to people because there were so many that had a story to tell [after watching the episode],\u201d he shared with Us<\/em> this month. \u201cI\u2019m trying to do as much as I can. There\u2019s a lot going on out there and this actually brought to light a hell of a lot. The amount of feedback that came to me \u2014 I\u2019m pretty overwhelmed.\u201d<\/p>\n
