Cathy on Below Deck Mediterranean (Season 10) is still on the show; nothing “bad” happened to her off‑screen that has been reported publicly, but she does go through a very emotional storyline on the series itself.

On the show: her big emotional moment

  • Cathy joins Below Deck Med Season 10 as a new stew, stepping in after Victoria SanJuan moves to the deck crew.
  • In a late‑season episode, she gets a text from her mom asking her to call right away, and she learns that the father who raised her has passed away, which leaves her devastated on camera.
  • Captain Sandy and Aesha immediately comfort her, and the crew rallies around her while she processes the news during the charter.

Her role and reputation

  • Cathy quickly became a breakout favorite because she’s highly competent, low‑drama, and very work‑focused compared to many past stews.
  • She has prior chief stew experience in yachting, so viewers and commentators think she could easily step into a future chief stew role on the franchise.

Off‑screen and “latest news”

  • Recent coverage and fan threads describe her as using her growing platform thoughtfully, including speaking out against racism and xenophobia in response to controversial comments within the broader Bravo universe.
  • There are no reliable reports of any serious real‑life incident involving Cathy; most “latest news” is positive praise, speculation that she’ll be invited back, and appreciation posts from fans.

TL;DR: What happened to Cathy on Below Deck is mainly an on‑screen storyline where she learns of her father’s death while working a charter, leading to a very emotional episode, but outside the show she appears to be doing well and is widely liked by fans and commentators.
