Below Deck Mediterranean star Joe Bradley has oh-so-subtly entered the chat after Bravo severed its working relationship with Nathan Gallagher following his domestic violence arrest.

Bradley, 29, dropped a “like” on Us’ Saturday, September 5, Instagram post confirming that their shared employer has cut all professional ties with Gallagher, 28.

“Bravo does not plan on working with Nathan in the future,” a rep for Bravo told Us in a statement on Saturday.

The bosun starred on the last three seasons of Below Deck Med, which premiered its 11th season in June. Us also understands that Bravo has no intention to remove footage featuring Gallagher from any upcoming episodes. (The season wrapped production last year before Gallagher’s arrest.)

Gallagher was arrested in Australia in December 2025 after an alleged incident with an unidentified 29-year-old woman. Per a police report viewed by Us in August, Gallagher was charged with “assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally chok[ing] a person without consent and common assault.”

Gallagher was eventually granted conditional bail before he was convicted on three counts of domestic violence earlier this month after failing to appear in court.

Gallagher addressed the alleged incident and accusations weeks ahead of his missed court hearing.

“I’m not claiming I was perfect. I wasn’t. I made mistakes, and I will take responsibility for my own actions,” Gallagher told Rolling Stone in a statement shared in August. “I will not accept being portrayed solely through on the account of a relationship when there is another side and evidence relating to it. I have contemporaneous video footage from the night in question, as well as messages and other records, which I believe provide important context.”

In his statement, Gallagher confirmed his breakup from Gael Cameron. (Gallagher and Cameron,30, started dating in 2024 after meeting during Below Deck Med season 9, later welcoming 14-month-old son Kayden.)

“There are also other matters surrounding the relationship that I have never discussed publicly,” Gallagher further alleged in his statement, noting his focus is on Kayden’s well-being. “My priority is being recognized as his father, establishing a relationship with him and ultimately finding a way for both of us to move forward and coparent peacefully.”

Cameron, for her part, addressed the situation for the first time on Saturday.

“Hey guys, I just want to say thank you so much for the support you’ve shown for Kayden and I,” Cameron wrote via her Instagram Stories. “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. I really appreciate the love you have sent our way, especially while everything that’s come to light, and I’m really working on finding myself again and moving forward.”

Bradley, for his part, had not previously addressed Gallagher’s arrest scandal — though the two Below Deck stars have an acrimonious history.

“He should not be there. It’s detrimental,” Bradley exclusively told Us in July of Gallagher’s appearance on season 11. “You might think to yourself, ‘Oh, it’s only six weeks.’ But those six weeks feel like nine months.”

According to Bradley, his costar appeared overwhelmed while attempting to balance ship duties with parenthood. He stressed that they have “absolutely no” contact.

“He did message me when I was in Australia,” Bradley added. “But I didn’t answer him back so he can taste his own medicine.”
