Below Deck Mediterranean star Nathan Gallagher was dropped by Bravo and convicted of domestic violence in Australia, prompting a subtle public reaction from his co-star Joe Bradley. According to Us Weekly and InTouch Weekly, Bradley indicated his approval of the network’s decision by “liking” an Instagram post confirming that Bravo has no plans to work with Gallagher in the future following his arrest and subsequent court conviction.
Bravo Cuts Ties With Nathan Gallagher
Bravo confirmed that the network has severed all future business relationships with Gallagher after a series of legal developments in Australia. According to statements given to Page Six by a network spokesperson, Bravo does not plan on working with Nathan Gallagher in the future. The reality star joined the Bravo spinoff series in 2024 during Season 9 and continued appearing as a bosun through Season 11, which is airing on Mondays.
Despite the firing, Page Six reported that network producers chose to leave Gallagher in the current season rather than edit him out. Filming for the season wrapped last December ahead of his legal drama.
Legal Proceedings and Arrest in Australia
Australian authorities arrested Gallagher in Sydney on December 27, 2025, following an alleged domestic incident near his home in Melrose Park, New South Wales. According to police and court documents, the 29-year-old woman involved was later identified as his co-star, Gael Cameron, with whom he shares a 1-year-old son named Kayden.
Cameron filed an Apprehended Violence Application against her co-star in Australia for protection. Court records show he faced charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and intentionally choking a person without consent. On September 1, Judge Janine Lacy of the Burwood Local Court in Sydney issued an arrest warrant after Gallagher did not appear at a Burwood Local Court hearing and was convicted at the hearing, according to documents obtained by Page Six and reported by InTouch Weekly.

Bravo’s Below Deck Mediterranean films months in advance of its actual airdates. Season 11 was filmed last December before his arrest drama, allowing producers to keep Gallagher in the broadcast episodes despite his subsequent firing and legal conviction.
Gael Cameron and Joe Bradley Break Silence
Gael Cameron addressed the public regarding her ex-partner’s legal situation through her Instagram Stories, thanking fans for supporting her and her and Gallagher’s 1-year-old son, Kayden. According to InTouch Weekly, Cameron wrote that it has been a tough season and that she has spent the past few months quietly healing and rebuilding for little man and myself. She expressed appreciation for the love sent her way while navigating the aftermath of the events.
Meanwhile, co-star Joe Bradley showed where he stands by interacting with social media coverage of the network’s disciplinary action. According to Us Weekly, Bradley “liked” an Us Weekly Instagram post announcing that Bravo had axed Gallagher from the show, signaling support for the network’s decision.
Nathan Gallagher Defends His Side
Gallagher spoke out about the allegations prior to his September court date, telling Rolling Stone that the public has not heard the full story. According to his statement, he does not claim to be perfect and takes responsibility for his own actions, but he refuses to accept being portrayed solely through one person’s account of a relationship, when there is another side and evidence relating to it.
Gallagher claimed to possess contemporaneous video footage from the night in question, as well as messages and other records that support his side of the situation. He has not issued a public statement regarding his termination from the network following his September 1 conviction.
