The entire crew of Below Deck Sailing Yacht has totally turned against deckhand Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux. The group does not feel that JL stepped up to the plate when Dani Soares told him that he was the father of her newborn daughter. During the recent reunion with the entire cast, JL was noticeably missing since he was on charter. Dani was allowed to tell her side of the story, which included some pretty mean comments that JL’s mother made to her.
During the reunion, the second stew also shared that she told her 25-year-old boy toy he was the father back in December, alleging that he denied the child was his. He reportedly asked for a paternity test. Andy Cohen and Bravo tracked the deckhand down to get his side of the story, and he revealed that he still hasn't paid for a paternity test. Viewers of the hit show are a bit confused since he did claim that he wanted to be a part of his daughter’s life if it was confirmed that he was the father. The American has seemingly made no effort to find out if he's the baby's dad.
All of the Parsifal III crew members are displeased with JL. At the reunion, Gary King revealed that he had lost what little respect he had left for him. JL posted on Instagram, where he shared his version of events. None of the crew members took him seriously. Instead, they called him out in a very public fashion. Check out the post below:
Former castmates piped up, including the brains of the crew, engineer Colin, writing, “Don’t play the innocent victim here, JL. Man, the f*k (sic) up.” Chef Natasha DeBourg wrote that his post sounded like a sob story and that he had nine months to reach out to Dani, saying, “No woman deserves to be treated the way you treated Dani.” Alli Dore, who is also pregnant, put her two cents in, saying no one was stopping him from paying for a DNA test. Sydney Zaruba also commented, asking what was wrong with JL. The only members of the crew who stayed quiet were the chief stew Daisy Kelliher and Captain Glenn Shephard.
Since the reunion, neither JL nor Dani have spoken, leaving many to feel that the Below Deck Sailing Yacht situation will not be resolving itself. The deckhand has since posted another social media photo of himself as a newborn baby. He answered a few of the fans' questions but mainly pointed out that he wanted to do the paternity test when the Australian borders opened. At this rate, no one knows when that will be. It could be another year before fans know the result of the paternity test.
