Danni Warren’s time on Below Deck Sailing Yacht appears to be sailing off into the sunset, with rumors buzzing that she will not return for season 6.

Chief stew Daisy Kelliher has long been a fan favorite, and she has been praised for her leadership and ability to handle the most demanding charter guests (or crew members). However, Danni’s interactions with Daisy have been far from respectful. Throughout Season 5, Danni openly criticized Daisy’s executive skills and frequently expressed her displeasure with her management style.

Tensions reached a critical point in episode 4, “Mer-made a Big Mis-cake,” when Daisy needed all hands on deck. Danni’s attitude shifted focus from teamwork to personal complaints. This episode was the icing on the cake for Daisy’s frustration with Danni’s sensitive approach to tasks, which had previously caused issues, including complaints about table décor and mistakes in setup. Danni’s behavior has divided fans, with many siding with Daisy and questioning Danni’s professionalism.

Danni Threw Keith Aside When He Didn’t Give Her Attention

Keith’s Indifference Sparks Danni’s Professional Decline

Danni’s relationship with deckhand Keith Allen began as a cute, friendly flirtation but quickly soured when he didn’t reciprocate her level of attraction. On several occasions, Danni lashed out at Keith for failing to prioritize her over the tasks at hand. During a post-charter cleanup, Keith attempted to give Danni constructive feedback, only for her to dismiss it and accuse him of taking Daisy’s side. This is just another awkward example of Danni’s tendency to make conflicts personal rather than behaving professionally.
Fans have also noted that Danni’s fixation on getting attention from Keith detracted from her performance as a stewardess. Instead of focusing on guest satisfaction, she allowed her personal frustrations to spill into her work, straining most of her relationships with the rest of the crew. Many viewers have argued that her inability to separate personal emotions from her job responsibilities has made her a liability rather than an asset on board.

Danni Has Become the Villain & Could Get Fired

From Crew Member to Villain: Why Danni’s Job Is at Risk
In the Bravo universe, every show season crowns a new villain, and Danni has unintentionally taken on that role. While her initial charm won over fans, her antagonistic behavior toward colleagues and inability to handle criticism has shifted perceptions. Her clashes with Daisy, Keith, and even second steward Diana Cruz have created an environment of constant tension on Parsifal III.
The show’s producers understand that the crew needs to have drama, but the ultimate objective is the safety of the charter guests and crew. Danni’s antagonism may ultimately cost her a place on the team. Some have hinted that Danni may not be invited back for Season 6, aligning with Bravo’s history of rotating out controversial figures who detract from team cohesion. As Daisy herself posted on Instagram, “Who loves a bit of mid season drama?” fueling speculation that Danni’s departure may be forthcoming.
What’s Next for Danni?

Danni’s Future: Redemption or Departure?

If Danni is indeed let go, she wouldn’t be the first cast member to face such a fate. While Bravo often rewards drama, there’s a fine line between entertaining conflicts and disruptive behavior that risks lives. The network has previously shown that casting changes are not off the table when crew dynamics jeopardize safety or operational efficiency.
Whether Danni chooses to embrace this moment for self-reflection or double down on her persona remains to be seen. For the time being, fans will have to tune in to the remainder of Season 5 to see how her story unfolds. Her decisions in these pivotal episodes could determine not only her future on the show but also her reputation within the Below Deck Sailing Yacht’s passionate fan base.
