In the recent episode 10 of Below Deck Down Under season 3, titled A Greek Tragedy, aired on April 7, 2025, significant tensions arose when Bosun Wihan shared controversial views about women during a talk with deckhand Johnny. Wihan expressed a notably harsh perspective, suggesting that as women age, they lose value and become more critical, leading to societal envy.
“People envy, especially women. When they hit a certain age, they don’t have anything going for them anymore. And they f**king… Like, their lives are terrible. They start yapping the whole time,”Wihan stated.
While Johnnie expressed uncertainty about Wihan’s comments, stating “I don’t know,”Wihan nonetheless continued to share his thoughts, indicating a sense of camaraderie as he proclaimed Johnny as his “right-hand man.”
This exchange ignited backlash on social media, with numerous viewers expressing their outrage towards Wihan’s remarks. Critics called out his derogatory views on women, urging Captain Jason to consider his position on the crew. Many users pointed out his inappropriate behavior, noting his eagerness to flirt with female crew members rather than assume responsibility.
“Wihan is gross. Women have nothing going for them after a certain age??? Whatever helps you feel better about yourself and your angry short man complex,”a fan wrote.
“Wihan is tone deaf…when women reach a certain age…dude, you are not special. You are not a Greek sarcastic font here god…women of a certain age..are too fabulous to waste time on your idiocracy,”another fan commented.
“Wihan might be one of the worst people we’ve seen on Below Deck. Not just the worst bosun, but worst crew member and a bigger s**thead than most guests,”a netizen tweeted.
The discontent surrounding Wihan extended beyond just his opinions on women, with many viewers criticizing his overall leadership style. Fans noted his consistent avoidance of accountability and lack of respect towards fellow crew members.
“He’s blaming everyone else… Does he even respect or listen to his ‘equals’? He doesn’t want to help other teams, lies & only wants to flirt. Why is Wihan considered a good leader?”a user reacted.
“another below deck creep.. get wihan off my tv asap,”a person commented.
“Oh!! Wihan doesn’t like or respect women when they don’t give him the attention and admiration he thinks he deserves,”another fan wrote.
“Wihan talking about women like he knows anything,”one user posted.
Fans vocalized their disappointment in Wihan’s behavior, urging Captain Jason to take action against him.
“Now Jason, that’s when you need to step in and check Wihan. You hear him being blatantly disrespectful. How long are you gonna let this s**t slide? This is like strike 17 for this guy,”a person reacted.
“Wihan blaming the women for his issues is super creepy. They’re not the problem,”another netizen commented.
“You’re too stupid”— Johnny confronts Wihan over his flirtatious behavior
In a crucial moment of the episode, Johnny confronted Wihan in private regarding concerns raised by crew members, particularly the women. He pointed out that Tzarina had shared details about Wihan’s actions, including a text he sent while on a date with Adair, as well as an instance where he had kissed her neck.
“Even if half of this is true, bro, you’re too stupid,”Johnny remarked.
Despite the confrontation, Wihan reacted defensively, shifting blame onto Tzarina and dismissing Johnny’s concerns about his conduct. As tensions escalated, Johnny expressed his apprehensions about Wihan’s potential interest in pursuing Alesia, to which Wihan assured him he would not do so.
