King of the sea and controversy, Elliott Neese is known for his appearance in Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch”. While it’s widely acknowledged that much of what happens on the show is dramatized and manipulated, Elliott Neese’s behavior paints him as the very man the show presents. The main antagonist of the series until his departure in 2015, Neese was known for his rocky marriage and unstable temper. Although he expressed his displeasure with his character’s portrayal in “Deadliest Catch”, his off-screen actions only cemented public opinion of him. By 2015, he had become so unpopular with fans of the show, only made worse by his aggressive attitude towards them on Twitter, that there was a fan petition to cut him off the screen.

Early life and family
Elliott Nicodemus Neese was born January 26, 1982, in Alaska, United States; it is not known if he has any siblings. Neese’s family had deep roots in the fishing industry and he soon realized he shared that passion. Not being a particularly bright student, Neese was already fishing and fishing when he was 12 years old.
Education
Neese began his fishing career at a young age and had obtained his trap fishing certification when he was 19 years old. Elliott Neese has studied with some of the Bering Sea’s top captains, including some who appear on “Deadliest Catch.” Neese actually turned out to be an exceptional fisherman and is now a licensed fisherman and captain.
Career
Early fishing career
Elliott Neese was already piloting his own fishing boat at the age of 19 in 2001 and quickly became the captain of the fishing boat The Ramblin’ Rose. Elliott enjoyed great success during this time in his career and became highly skilled. His downfall turned out to be his behavior, a common theme throughout his life. When Neese refused to go out during a storm under instructions from The Ramblin’ Rose’s owner, he was forced to jump ship.
However, by 2013 Neese had found an interested investor and the two purchased a new fishing boat which they dubbed Saga. Once again, things didn’t quite go to plan, and the investor bought out half of Elliott in 2015. This coincided with the height of Elliott’s drug problems, and he was stripped of his captaincy and replaced by “Deadliest Catch” co-star Jake Anderson.

When Anderson was asked about Neese in 2016, he was bluntly candid, telling Inqisitr that Neese was piloting a new boat and using radio broadcasts to disparage him.
Neese hasn’t always been on the right side of the law when it comes to fishing, either. After bringing in an impressive catch, 13 undersized crabs were found on his boat. Although this may seem to be of negligible importance, it is against the regulations and the fishing law. He was initially fined $6,000, but when he pleaded guilty, the fine was halved to $3,000.
“Deadliest Take”
“Deadliest Catch” is the Discovery Channel’s Emmy-winning docuseries, which follows crab fishermen off the coast of Alaska in the Bering Sea. The show premiered on April 12, 2005, and as with many Discovery series, the show has had its fair share of controversy. The first is the often-heard dissent at Discovery dramatizing real events.
In one instance, it was revealed that to depict a storm in the show’s fourth season, the footage was mixed in with footage of a flood from the previous season, making the storm appear much more severe than it was. actually was. The show had also been criticized for the impact it had on the crabbing industry in Alaska – more than 70 vessels cross the Bering Sea, working hard to secure the funding they need to accomplish their expeditions. With the Discovery Channel funding all of the show’s boat expeditions, local fishermen are struggling to compete.
Elliott Neese was a relative latecomer to the series, first appearing in 2011. Audiences first met him while still captain of The Ramblin’ Rose, and he was immediately described as the series antagonist. While it’s a well-known fact that docuseries manipulate sequences and situations to create characters that can be seen as “villains” to heighten dramatic tension, Neese’s behavior didn’t help matters.
He was particularly aggressive with the show’s fan base, defending himself against those who criticized him but also taking a defensive stance against those who supported him. His aggressive tackle was broken in the 10e season when he risked his life at sea; another fishing vessel, the Arctic Hunter, had grounded on the ice and was sinking. Neese risked his life approaching the boat and saving the crew from drowning or freezing to death.
Although this dramatic event changed Elliott’s mind, he did little to win over the majority of the fanbase; in 2015, there was a petition to remove him from the show. Although the Discovery Channel refused to follow up on this, Elliott was forced to leave the show anyway due to his personal issues which had come to the fore.
During his time on “Deadliest Catch”, Neese starred in several other spin-offs, including “Deadliest Catch: The Bait” (2013 – 2014), “Deadliest Catch: After the Catch” (2011 – 2012) and “Deadliest Catch : Greenhorns” (2011). Since leaving the show, he has not made any additional television or film appearances.
Now
Neese has retired from the media for the most part. He always spends his time fishing, but not necessarily crabs. He has traveled to much more tropical climates and seas and often posts photos of himself holding huge fish.
Private life
Wedding
Like much of his life, Neese’s romantic associations were rocky even in the best of life. Elliot Neese was married to Valerie Gunderson with whom he has two children, a son born in 2006, and his second child is a daughter, Shannon. Elliott is known on the show for his unstable temper and temper, which showed up in his marriage. .
When the couple divorced, Valerie Gunderson filed for a temporary restraining order against Neese, saying she feared for his safety. Valerie revealed that Neese attacked her in 2006 and spoke of another incident in 2010. She claimed he flew into a rage and smashed their TV and threw some of his clothes into the fireplace. The allegations have since been dropped and the two have joint custody of their children.
Addiction
Although fans failed to get Neese off the show in 2015, there were plenty of other salient issues that saw his departure. After his fellow crew members and family members urged him to seek help, he finally decided to deal with his alcohol and drug addiction issues. Elliott Neese enrolled at Passages Rehab in Malibu for a 60-day program.
Once released, he kept the public informed of his progress, proudly announcing the 90-day clean mark in 2017. Since then, he hasn’t shared much of his journey. It should be noted, however, that Neese attacked Nick McGlashan on Twitter, accusing him of still using drugs. That’s not his only social media misstep, as he also tried Sportsman’s Warehouse on Facebook in 2017.
Go out together
Since his divorce, Neese has been very reluctant to reveal personal details about his relationships; his sense of privacy only increased after he quit the “Deadliest Catch” and attended rehab. Nonetheless, it has become common knowledge that he is dating a woman named Erika Friedenberg from Chicago. The two met when they were based at the same rehab center, and the commonalities from their past helped them forge a strong bond.
