Reality television network Bravo has officially cut ties with Below Deck Mediterranean star Nathan Gallagher following his failure to appear in an Australian court on domestic violence charges, prompting a judge to issue an arrest warrant and convict him in absentia on September 1.
The legal fallout surrounding the reality star intensified when the New South Wales Police Force announced an outstanding arrest warrant after the Akira One crew member skipped out on his scheduled court appearance in Sydney. Network representatives confirmed that Bravo does not plan on working with Nathan in any future programming following the proceedings.
December 2025 Arrest and Sydney Court Conviction in Absentia
The criminal case dates back to a late-December incident in 2025. Gallagher was first arrested in December following an alleged domestic violence incident at a Sydney apartment complex. He was later released on bail and charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally chok[ing a] person without consent and common assault.
Burwood judge Janine Lacy attributed her decision to issue the warrant and convict Gallagher to the serious nature of the offenses,
as well as records revealing that Gallagher had left the country and is currently overseas,
per the Sydney Morning Herald.
According to NSW Police, Gallagher is believed to be offshore,
asking citizens to come forward with information about his whereabouts. Gallagher failed to appear for a court hearing on Tuesday but a judge still convicted him on the domestic violence charges.
Connection to Co-Star Gael Cameron and Production Impact
Nathan Gallagher allegedly assaulted ex Gael Cameron. Police arrested Gallagher in 2025 after he allegedly choked his partner and Below Deck co-star, Gael Cameron. His failure to appear in court did not help him dodge a conviction. A judge convicted him in absentia.
In December 2025, Gallagher allegedly choked and suffocated Cameron during an argument in Sydney.
The documents also say that he hit her and further choked her in the same room as their child.
Gallagher recently shared a statement on the alleged incident with his ex-partner and former Below Deck co-star Gael Cameron, with whom he co-parents son Kayden.
Gallagher has appeared in the last three seasons of the “Below Deck” spinoff, including its 11th season that premiered in June. Filming on the current season concluded before the superyacht bosun was arrested and charged in December on three counts of domestic violence against a 29-year-old woman. Bravo has no intentions to remove footage of Gallagher from the current season, The Times has learned. Bravo cut ties with Gallagher after law enforcement officials in Australia announced Tuesday that the TV personality is wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant.
The New South Wales Police Force said in a news release that Gallagher, 28, is believed to be offshore.
Public Statements and Ongoing Police Search
I don’t believe the public has heard the full story surrounding what happened,
said Gallagher, according to Rolling Stone, adding that what has been publicly reported, however, represents only one side of what was an extremely complicated situation.
It comes as members of the Below Deck franchise had been frustrated with Bravo for staying silent after news of Gallagher’s arrest broke in mid-August, a well-placed source tells Rolling Stone. Additionally, network officials had instructed those affiliated with the show not to speak publicly on the matter, according to the source, as fans clamored for transparency about Gallagher’s future with the franchise and questioned when Bravo first learned of his arrest.
Last month, Rolling Stone reported that Gallagher had been arrested just days after Christmas in 2025 in Sydney, Australia, on charges of assault and strangulation stemming from a fight he had with his partner, Gael Cameron. The two met while filming Season Nine of Below Deck Mediterranean, striking up a romance whil…
