Bravo Cuts Ties with “Below Deck Mediterranean” Star Nathan Gallagher After Domestic-Violence Arrest
9/7/2026, 11:14:31 AM
Background of the Arrest and Legal Proceedings
Nathan Gallagher, the bosun on *Below Deck Mediterranean*, was arrested in Sydney in December 2025 following an alleged assault on a 29-year-old woman. A police report cited charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentional choking without consent, and common assault. The woman was later identified as castmate Gael Cameron, with whom Gallagher shares a 14-month-old son, Kayden. After failing to appear at a Burwood Local Court hearing, an arrest warrant was issued, and Gallagher was subsequently convicted on three domestic-violence counts earlier this month.
Official Statements from Bravo and Legal Authorities
The same statement confirmed that Bravo will not edit Gallagher’s existing footage from the already-filmed Season 11, which wrapped production in December 2025 before the arrest. Australian authorities issued the arrest warrant after Gallagher missed a court appearance, and court documents indicate his conviction on the domestic-violence charges.
Reactions from Co-Stars
Joe Bradley, a fellow *Below Deck Mediterranean* star, publicly “liked” a September 5 Instagram post announcing Bravo’s decision. In an exclusive interview, Bradley said Gallagher “should not be there” and described his presence on the show as “detrimental,” noting that the six-week appearance felt “like nine months.” Gael Cameron posted a thank-you message to supporters, emphasizing her focus on healing and caring for Kayden.
