No More Mr. Neese Guy
Entertainment Weekly reported Ramblin’ Rose captain Elliot Neese had been allegedly harassing his ex-girlfriend and threatening to take away their daughter in 2012. In her petition to receive a temporary restraining order, which was granted, Valerie Gunderson cited Neese’s drug and alcohol addictions could lead him to “snap[s] so to speak.” She also claimed incidents in 2006 and 2010 of physical abuse at his hands. In 2013, Neese was fired from “Deadliest Catch” after a crew member fell asleep on his watch and almost crashed the ship into a block of ice.
