Bravo cuts ties with Below Deck Mediterranean star Nathan Gallagher after conviction
Bravo announced it will not work with Nathan Gallagher following his conviction on domestic-abuse charges, and police have issued a warrant for his arrest.
Bravo confirmed it will no longer employ Nathan Gallagher, a crew member featured in three seasons of the reality series Below Deck Mediterranean, after he was found guilty of domestic-abuse offences in an absent trial. The court convicted Gallagher of actual bodily harm, choking without consent and common assault after he failed to appear for a September 1 hearing. A spokesperson for the network said, "Bravo does not plan on working with Nathan in the future."
The convictions relate to an incident involving Gallagher’s former co-star Gael Cameron, with whom he shares a son. Gallagher has claimed that media reports present only one side of a "extremely complicated situation," according to a Rolling Stone interview. NSW police have issued a warrant and indicated they believe Gallagher is offshore, urging the public to provide any information on his whereabouts.
While the current season, filmed before the legal proceedings, will retain Gallagher’s appearances, a former Below Deck cast member called for changes to the show’s casting process, stating that repeated incidents suggest a need for stricter vetting.
