Putting the “ow” in Below Deck.

On Wednesday, June 30, Below Deck Mediterranean star Malia White took to Instagram to detail a rough scooter accident she suffered during a recent day off in Mallorca, Spain. The Bravo personality started off her health update by sharing pictures from her adventure around the Mediterranean island.

“BEFORE PHOTO: had an amazing day exploring the island of Mallorca with my crew mates by scooter,” she wrote alongside the series of photos, including one of her on the scooter. “But it didn’t end as nicely as it started….. #mallorca #spain #adventure #daysoff”

For her next post, Malia shared a selfie from her hospital bed and a close-up of her injuries. “AFTER: on Instagram we usually share the pretty stuff but this is the important stuff,” she added. “I’m sharing this to express the importance of always wearing a helmet. Mine quite literally saved my life.”

As she continued, Malia revealed that she spent Below Deck Mediterranean‘s June 28 premiere on Bravo “in a hospital bed” thanks to “a mean accident” on her scooter.

“I’ve been riding scooters my whole life, was familiar with the equipment, wasn’t drinking and was 10 minutes from my boat,” she further explained. “Accidents happen when you least expect them. Luckily, I was able to walk away with a few stitches, fractured elbow, broken toes, severe road rash and a very sore body. I don’t want to imagine what the case would have been without my helmet! I won’t hang up my scooter keys just yet… but I’m definitely aware of the importance of cruising safely!”

Before long, in the comments section of her post, Malia’s Below Deck peers wished her a quick recovery. Below Deck Sailing Yacht chief stewardess Daisy Kelliher wrote, “Hope you’re ok!” Bugsy Drake, who appeared on season five of Below Deck Med alongside Malia, commented, “Sending you love and a speedy recovery!!!” Fellow Below Deck Med alum Bobby Giancola expressed, “Omg woman! I’m so glad you’re ok!”

As E! News readers well know, Malia is currently the bosun on season six of Below Deck Med. And, from what the trailer teased, the seasoned yachtie has a rough season ahead of her. For those who may’ve missed it, the teaser featured Malia having a heated conversation with her mentor, Captain Sandy Yawn.

Specifically, after not filing an incident report, the popular bosun appeared to receive a talking to by the captain. Malia defended in the trailer, “I’m not a chief officer.”

“I don’t give a f–k,” the displeased captain snapped back. “You should’ve come to me that he was hurt.”

We’re sure Malia needs Captain Sandy’s support now more than ever.

Drew Peterson’s Ex Recalls Scary "Red Flags" and What He Told Her About Missing Wife Stacy's Whereabouts

Drew Peterson's ex-fiancée Christina Raines reflected on her relationship with the convicted murderer more than 10 years after his fourth wife Stacy disappeared.

Drew Peterson‘s ex-fiancée Christina Raines is looking back on her relationship with the convicted murderer, who her father, Ernie Raines, says he was always suspicious of.

In the upcoming episode of Cellmate Secrets: Drew Peterson, the father-daughter duo recall Christina’s 2007 engagement to Drew, which coincided with the investigation into his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson‘s, disappearance. As Ernie tells it, “I was worried about her.”

Christina, who was 23 at the time, didn’t believe Drew could’ve hurt Stacy until they got in a lover’s spat that year. She explains she broke up with Drew and went to stay with an ex-boyfriend at the height of the investigation in January 2009, at which point Drew turned possessive.

“Me and my ex-boyfriend were just friends at that time,” she remembers, “and Drew texted me, he was like, ‘What are you doing on his lap?'”

Christina admits she was on her ex’s lap, but jumped off upon reading Drew’s message. She says, “I was like, ‘How would you even know?’ And he was like, ‘I was looking through your window.'”

She adds he clearly had “trust issues,” but there were other “red flags” that began to pop up.

And though she initially believed her future husband was innocent of hurting Stacy, Christina says she asked him what he thought happened to his fourth wife. His answer? “She took $25,000 in cash and a couple of bikinis and took off.”

“I knew better than that though,” Christina shares. “All of her stuff was still there. Everything. I mean, stuff that you’d take with you if you were leaving—her whole wardrobe, her prescriptions, her cell phone.”

Christina also discusses his reaction to the investigation, including the moment police exhumed the remains of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. Christina remembers Drew’s response to the events, sharing, “He would crack jokes like, ‘I should’ve cremated her.'”

Ultimately, investigators determined Kathleen was killed by Drew, who staged the crime scene so it looked like an accident, according to The Chicago Tribune. Drew was convicted of her homicide in 2009.
