Bravo has announced it will no longer work with Nathan Gallagher from the reality television series Below Deck following domestic violence allegations. The network confirmed the decision after Gallagher failed to appear at a court hearing in Australia where he faced charges related to an incident involving a fellow cast member.
The separation comes amid growing frustration from franchise members who criticized Bravo’s response to the situation. According to sources, cast and crew affiliated with the show expressed disappointment that network leadership remained publicly silent on the matter and instructed personnel not to discuss it openly. Fans had demanded transparency regarding Gallagher’s status with the program.
Gallagher was arrested in late December 2025 in Sydney on assault and strangulation charges stemming from an altercation. He met his co-star partner while filming the Mediterranean version of the show and welcomed a child with her in June 2025. When Gallagher did not appear for his scheduled court date, he was convicted on multiple charges. A warrant for his arrest was issued, with the presiding judge noting the offenses carried serious potential penalties.
Despite the separation announcement, Bravo indicated Gallagher will remain in already-filmed episodes of the current season. The decision has prompted former cast members from other franchise seasons to voice concerns about the show’s casting standards and hiring practices.
