Below Deck‘s Damo Yorg revealed that he got a penis piercing — for charity.
During the Monday, June 9, episode, Kyle Stillie noticed Damo’s piercing while they were changing in their cabin after the end of a charter.
“I got it when I was like 20? It was painful for six months,” Damo recalled before elaborating in a confessional with Kyle, “I got it done for charity. I got it done for the kids!”
Damo broke down the process for Kyle, adding, “You want to know how they do it? They shove a tube down your urethra and then they pierce from the bottom side up with the needle.”
Below Deck’s Biggest Drama Through the Years
Season 12 is already off to a strong start after bringing back Kyle, chief steward Fraser Olender, Captain Kerry Titheradge and now alum Chef Anthony Iracane. Joining the crew were new members Chef Lawrence Snowden, bosun Caio Poltronieri, deckhands Jess Theron and Damo and stews Barbara Kulaif, Rainbeau de Roos and Solène Favreau.
Bravo previously released a synopsis that teased the drama still to come.
“Known for their unique blend of French and Dutch influences and pristine white sand beaches, the three Caribbean territories surround each other making for an unforgettable, island-hopping charter season,” read the April press release. “This season Captain Kerry demands respect from his crew as they navigate tense work dynamics and tangled love triangles on the high seas.”
In the interior, Fraser’s standards “are higher than ever, but his aim for perfection is sabotaged when his stews’ personalities clash. With more than 15 years of culinary experience, Chef Lawrence brings his fine-dining expertise to the galley. However, when the high-stress environment comes head-to-head with his strong faith, Chef Lawrence contends with his place on the boat.”
Why Was There ‘Below Deck’ Drama After Kyle Slept With a Married Guest?
The exterior team, meanwhile, is led by Caio who “struggles to manage his team, and when gossip spreads that deckhand Kyle potentially crossed the ultimate line with a charter guest, Captain Kerry must make a tough decision.”
According to Fraser, viewers should expect at least one person getting fired. “There are firings. There are hirings,” he teased in May. “There are disasters left, right and center. But I cannot tell you enough how dramatic and how fun this season is. It is nonstop.”
He continued: “I was so excited to get into this season. I think I’ve grown so much since I first started out on the show — and you never know what you’re going to get as a crew. But I just wanted to make sure that out of any season, this one is where I wanted to bring my crew to the best of their ability. I wanted harmony and I wanted love and friendship and peace amongst all the madness. I think we succeeded.”
Below Deck airs on Bravo Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
