The feud on Below Deck between Rainbeau de Roos and Solène Favreau just got worse after some surprise name calling.
During the Monday, July 14, episode of the hit Bravo series, Rainbeau started to crumble after carrying most of the workload in the interior. Even chief steward Fraser Olender started to notice Solène’s consistent breaks and how little she tried at her job. But since Rainbeau was already at odds with her stews, Solène and Barbara kept putting the blame on her for any mistakes that Fraser highlighted.
The tension got worse when Solène admitted that she didn’t care about her tasks.
“She just genuinely doesn’t give a f***,” Rainbeau said in a confessional. “You dumb bitch. I think every single person on the boat is actively working harder than you.”
Below Deck’s Biggest Drama Through the Years
Rainbeau ended the episode unsure of her future on St. David. “I feel like no matter how much effort I put in, it is not good enough,” she admitted. “When I am giving 100 percent, why is that not good enough? Is there something wrong with me? What the fuck am I doing? Let me know so I can do better. “
She added: “I just feel like I am drowning. There’s no air to breathe.”
In the sneak peek for next week’s episode, Solène weighed in on Rainbeau’s criticism. “I feel your energy and it just shows me that you don’t care,” the second stew said, to which Solène told the producers, “Rainbow is like [the] beast of vagina bush.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Solène’s personal life got very messy as she grew closer to Jess Theron while still making out with Kyle Stillie on the side. The various romantic entanglements caused both Jess and Solène’s job performance to slip.
Fraser previously told Us Weekly that viewers should expect to witness at least one person getting fired.

“There are firings. There are hirings,” he teased in May. “There are disasters left, right and center. But I cannot tell you enough how dramatic and how fun this season is. It is nonstop.”
While bosun Caio Poltronieri has already exited the season, Fraser didn’t rule out more shakeups while previewing season 12.
“I was so excited to get into this season. I think I’ve grown so much since I first started out on the show — and you never know what you’re going to get as a crew,” he added at the time. “But I just wanted to make sure that out of any season, this one is where I wanted to bring my crew to the best of their ability. I wanted harmony and I wanted love and friendship and peace amongst all the madness. I think we succeeded.”
Below Deck airs on Bravo Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
