Federal agents raided the Florida home of Anthony “Tony” Drewitt-Barlow, the controversial Below Deck charter guest who made headlines four years ago for his demanding behavior aboard a luxury yacht.
Homeland Security Investigations Tampa confirmed executing a search warrant at Drewitt-Barlow’s Tampa-area property this week, telling TMZ the action was part of an ongoing probe. Notably, officials urged potential victims or witnesses of sex trafficking to contact a tip line—though no charges have been filed against Drewitt-Barlow, and the investigation’s specifics remain unclear.
The British businessman gained fame in the 1990s with ex-husband Barrie as the U.K.’s first same-sex couple to have a child via surrogacy. Their 2019 split followed Below Deck infamy, where they snubbed a crew-prepared buffet only to complain about portion sizes. Barrie has since moved on with their daughter Saffron’s ex-boyfriend, Scott, whom he proposed to on camera.
Drewitt-Barlow, who co-parents five children with Barrie, has not responded to requests for comment.
