Aesha Scott is clearing the air on why her former boss, Below Deck Down Under‘s Captain Jason Chambers, isn’t invited to her wedding. The Below Deck Mediterranean Season 10 chief stew appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Sept. 29, where she admitted that Jason wasn’t invited to her upcoming nuptials to Scott Dobson — and she is now sharing the reason why he isn’t.
The Drop founder spoke with Entertainment Tonight on Oct. 6, where she cleared the air on why Jason wasn’t invited to her wedding to her fiancé, Scotty. “The majority of the comments, just for the record, are people saying, ‘It’s because they’ve hooked up. And then she’s running away.’ And that is absolutely not the case,” she explained.
“You know, everyone’s speculating, and they’re like, ‘It’s just so weird because they had such a good relationship. But I’m like, ‘Yeah, but I’ve had a really good relationship with almost everyone that I’ve worked with. It doesn’t mean I can fit every person in [on the wedding guest list],” she noted.
“And Jason’s great, you know, we get on really well, and we were close for a time when we worked on the show together. But he’s not someone that’s in like, my inner circle,” she concluded.

During her time on WWHL, Aesha admitted that people were comparing her fiancé to Jason, which is another reason why she didn’t invite him to the wedding. “I also don’t think it’s respectful because so many people would come up to me and be like, ‘Oh, we like Scott, but I really wish you were with Jason,'” she said. “Which, you know, yeah.”

Aesha Scott shares the latest updates on her wedding planning process
In addition to the guest list, Aesha and Scott have their wedding plans all figured out. “It’s planned,” she said on WWHL, admitting that the planning process was not too difficult for her.
“I don’t understand why people get so stressed, maybe because I’m a chief stew,” she continued. “You just sit down and email people and say, ‘Hey, can you do my wedding?’ And they say yes or no. I’m very simple, though. Noodles and curry, that’s all I need.”
