‘Below Deck Med’: Nathan Gallagher and Joe Bradley Got Into Heated Fight as Gael Cameron Tried to Intervene: ‘You’re Going to Come at Me?’
Nathan Gallagher’s temper was on display in the latest episode of Below Deck Mediterranean.
Nathan Gallagher threatens Joe Bradley on ‘Below Deck Mediterranean’
In the September 21 installment of the Bravo reality series, the bosun on the Akira One faced off with lead deckhand Joe Bradley. The drama started when Gallagher’s then-girlfriend Gael Cameron confronted Bradley over his simmering tension with Gallagher during a car ride home after a crew dinner in Croatia.
Bradley responded to Cameron – who’d recently welcomed her first child with Gallagher – by calling her comments “so crazy.” That prompted Gallagher to jump in and defend Cameron.
“I can turn that smirk into a frown really fast,” Gallagher yelled at Bradley.
“What, because you’re going to f*cking come at me?” Bradley replied.
The episode ended with a “To Be Continued” message before the outcome of the fight was revealed.
Nathan Gallagher was recently convicted of assault in Australia
The incident was captured by Bravo’s cameras in the summer of 2025. The showdown between Gallagher and Bradley occurred months before Gallagher and Cameron were involved in a domestic incident at an apartment in Sydney, Australia. Gallagher was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally choking a person without consent and common assault. On September 1, he was convicted in absentia after skipping his court hearing. A warrant is now out for his arrest. Gallagher, who is from Ireland, is believed to have left the country.
After his conviction, Bravo confirmed to Deadline that it “does not plan on working with Nathan in the future.” However, it opted not to edit Gallagher out of the currently airing season of Below Deck Med.
In a statement to Rolling Stone, Gallagher said that people did not have the full picture of what had happened between him and Cameron.
“I will take responsibility for my own actions,” he said. “But I will not accept being portrayed solely through one person’s account of a relationship when there is another side and evidence relating to it.”
“I have kept the evidence and will deal with it through the appropriate channels,” he added. “But I also don’t believe it is fair for one version of events to be presented publicly as though it is the complete story when there is evidence that may materially contradict or provide significant context to that account.”
Meanwhile, Cameron thanked people for their support in a post on her Instagram Story.
“Hey guys, I just want to say thank you so much for the support you’ve shown for Kayden and I,” she wrote “It’s been a tough season, but I have been using the past few months to quietly heal and rebuild for little man and myself.”
Below Deck Mediterranean airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo. Episodes stream the next on Peacock.
