Captain Lee Rosbach called out Captain Sandy Yawn for not informing him of Camille Lamb’s firing, and he pointed to a lack of “procedure” and “respect.” The 73-year-old was forced to leave the boat due to health reasons earlier in the season, and Sandy agreed to step in as the temporary captain.
Soon after his Below Deck departure, Camille became a problem for many crew members, and she was accused of not pulling her weight. In the latest episode, Sandy fired Camille after Fraser Olender suggested there was no other option.
As the episode aired, Captain Lee took to Twitter to reveal his disappointment.
“So I found out after the fact that she fired one of my crew, not before. Ok?” he wrote.

He clarified that he didn’t want Sandy to ask for “permission,” but he wished she’d given a “quick call,” which he believes is “good manners.”
I agree, I didn’t want her to ask permission, just wanted the update, that quick call you mentioned, good manners. https://t.co/RsbviWOQ9G

The star then responded to user @hutton112329, who suggested he should have addressed his issues with Captain Sandy “privately” rather than on social media.
“She did it on tv in front of how many people with out consulting me,” the captain clapped back. “That doesn’t sound very private to me at all.” He later shared that a “heads up” would have been “respectful.”

She didn’t it on camera without consulting me. She didn’t need my permission, she made the right call, just a heads up would have been respectful. https://t.co/czRiI8o7AB

Lee also revealed what he would have done in Sandy’s shoes.
“Had I been replacing Capt Sandy on her boat temporarily and felt the necessity to fire one of her crew, I would have called her first to let her know what I was doing and why. I agree with her decision, just not how she went about it,” he said, before suggesting Sandy “lacked in procedure” and “respect.”
I agree Captain! I think that would have been the respectful thing to do. https://t.co/fYHvt26Fxq

Then why contact me after and tell me at all? Plenty of time to call me after, but not before. She made the right call. But lacked in procedure and respect. Just the way I roll. https://t.co/5mQBnV6v1U

Despite Lee’s concerns over how he was informed, many fans were thrilled by Sandy’s decision to fire Camille, who appeared to disrespect each of her authority figures.
Below Deck season 10 is currently airing Monday nights at 8 p.m. EST on Bravo.
