Legal proceedings against Nathan Gallagher

Overview

Nathan Gallagher, a cast member of the Bravo series ‘Below Deck Mediterranean’, faces ongoing legal proceedings in Australia and Ireland. In Australia, Gallagher was arrested following an alleged assault on a 29-year-old woman on December 26, 2025, at a unit complex in Melrose Park. He faces three domestic violence-related charges: assault occasioning actual bodily harm, common assault, and intentionally choking a person without consent. Court documents allege that during the incident, Gallagher used his hand to cover the mouth and nose of his former partner and co-star, Gael Cameron, causing her to be unable to breathe at times. The incident reportedly occurred in the presence of their young son.

Following a scheduled appearance at Burwood Local Court on September 1, 2026, Gallagher was convicted in his absence of the three domestic violence charges. A New South Wales judge issued an arrest warrant after the conviction, and prosecutors believe he has since fled Australia. Additionally, an apprehended violence application was filed by Cameron.

In Ireland, a bench warrant remains active following Gallagher’s failure to appear in court regarding a 2022 assault charge in Dungloe, Donegal. Regarding his television career, Bravo has severed all professional ties with Gallagher and does not plan to work with him in the future, though he remains in existing footage for the current season.

In an August 2026 statement to Rolling Stone, Gallagher acknowledged making mistakes and taking responsibility, though he noted he possessed video footage and messages that he believes provide important context to the incident. Cameron has shared accounts of her emotional struggles, noting she lost her ‘sense of self’ during the ordeal. Fellow cast members Aesha Scott and Kayley Smith have publicly expressed support for her.
