Below Deck Mediterranean's Peter Hunziker has been fired for the alleged racist posts. Bravo stars are finally being held accountable for their past racist remarks.
The current season is showing off the power behind girl power thanks to an all-female leadership team. Captain Sandy is back at the helm with Hannah Ferrier covering the interior and Malia White on deck. Most of the cast seems to fit in with the exception of Pete. From day one he has called Malia “sweetie” and even stumbled over his words during dinner about how a woman could own run a business then he could too.

Peter's past discrepancies are now coming to light in lieu of the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement. Fans had screen captured a story of his where he posted a meme of a black woman tied up and naked with a caption, "When black men been doing you wrong your whole life and you decide to date a nice caucasian guy Peter from Whole Foods."
The meme, in and of itself was offensive, but the way that Peter reacted to the backlash was almost as bad. Peter defended the post by saying it was not racist and that he loves "all women." He even told followers to "relax," defending himself by saying that it was just meme. Then, he thought he could smooth it over by saying that he's "VERY sexually active with all races." Fans were outraged, writing to Bravo producer, Andy Cohen for some kind of action to rectify the situation. Check out the tweets and screenshot below:
The Bravo network is still in the midst of cleaning house and Pete had become the next target. Pete was let go due to racist posts and was only on the show for one season. Season 5 is currently still airing with him still in episodes and set up as the main character, but producers are trying to edit him out to limit his visibility. Pete has joined multiple other Bravolebrities such as Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Brett Caprioni, and Max Boyens who were fired last week from Vanderpump Rules. Stassi also was called out for captioning one of her pictures as “Nazi Chic.” Fans have taken to petition the network to also fire Jax Taylor as he has offended almost everyone. The network has yet to comment further on any more possible firings.
