When it comes to her relationship with Mila, Ferrier exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2019 that she would not “choose to spend personal time” with the former Bravo personality following her homophobic comments.
“I struggle a lot because one of my best friends in Australia is gay and Muslim,” Ferrier explained to Us at the time. “I’ve seen for the last 13 years that it’s a very difficult path to go down. It’s not really a choice. It is what it is. I don’t condone or believe her views at all. At the same time, she was brought up very differently to you and I, it’s a fine line.”
Mila faced criticism that same month for saying same-sex couples were not “normal” on a Below Deck Med episode. She was also slammed for serving store-bought taco shells with pre-packaged cheese on the lavish yacht.
“I feel like with Mila’s food, it can’t really get a lot worse,” Ferrier told Us. “There’s only one way to go.”
Mila was fired by Captain Sandy Yawn in a July 2019 episode. “As a human being, I have all the compassion in the world,” Yawn, 55, said. “But as a captain, I have to let you go.”
