Overview

  • Kelly Furey was removed under French police supervision after defying safety instructions and escalating an alcohol-fueled meltdown onboard the St. David.
  • Captain Kerry Titheradge said viewers saw only a fragment of the incident and that he cut Kelly off from alcohol to protect her and the crew.
  • When Kelly refused to wear a life jacket and attempted to jump overboard, crew members formed a human barrier to prevent her from entering the water unsafely.
  • Primary guest Helen Hoey escorted Kelly ashore with empathy and was praised by the captain for her calming presence during the crisis.
  • After reviewing footage and interviewing staff, Captain Kerry concluded there was no hookup between Kyle Stillie and Helen Hoey and warned that any breach of professional boundaries would result in dismissal.
