Emile Kotze, who starred on season three of Below Deck in 2015, is suing NBCUniversal for $850 million, accusing Bravo’s parent network of perpetrating a “coordinated campaign of exploitation, harassment, and deceit.”
Now 34, Kotze was 23 when he joined as a professional deckhand on the popular reality series, which follows the behind-the-scenes drama of a crew working aboard a luxury superyacht.
