Kate Chastain Sent a Sassy Secret Message to the Below Deck Crew on Season 7's Final Charter

Kate Chastain let her uniform do the talking on the final charter of Season 7 of Below Deck.

The chief stew decided to alter her black uniform during the last charter of the season, removing the epaulettes, which denote the wearer's rank on the vessel. "Fun Fact: I stopped wearing my epaulettes for the final charter [because] most of the crew didn’t seem to care how many stripes I had," Kate, who has been vocal about not feeling respected by some of the members of the crew this season, wrote in the caption to a post on Instagram on January 27. The post featured a photo of her and deckhand Rhylee Gerber during the final charter.

However, it was Kate's demeanor that was called out by charter guest Jemele Hill in the January 27 episode of Below Deck, something that the chief stew has come under fire for before. The crew defends Kate's famous "resting bitch face" in the Below Deck Season 7 After Show, above.

How will the season end for Kate and the rest of the Valor crew? Tune in to the Below Deck Season 7 finale on Monday, February 3 at 8/7c to find out. Catch a sneak peek, below.
