Bravo has officially severed ties with Below Deck Mediterranean star Nathan Gallagher following his domestic violence arrest and subsequent flight from Australia, according to statements confirmed by network executives to the Los Angeles Times. Gallagher, 27, faces serious criminal charges after allegedly attacking his former partner, Gael Cameron, in late December 2025 at an apartment in Melrose Park, Sydney.
Charges and Court Proceedings in Australia
According to New South Wales Police statements reported by People and Rolling Stone, Gallagher faces three specific counts: assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally choking a person without consent, and common assault. Court documents accepted by Judge Janine Lacy at Burwood Local Court detail that the assault took place on the morning of December 27, 2025, while the couple’s infant son lay nearby. Judge Lacy stated in court that Gallagher used one hand to cover Cameron’s mouth and nose before placing both hands around her neck and applying enough pressure to restrict her breathing.
Despite pleading not guilty to the charges and being granted conditional bail, Gallagher failed to appear for a scheduled court hearing on Monday. Judge Lacy confirmed via Australian immigration data that Gallagher had left the country, prompting the issuance of an arrest warrant under Section 196 of the NSW Criminal Procedure Act. Alongside the arrest warrant, Judge Lacy convicted Gallagher in his absence on all three assault offenses and extended a two-year Apprehended Violence Order protecting Cameron.
Bail Conditions and International Travel Questions
The reality star’s departure from Australia has drawn scrutiny regarding his bail conditions. According to The Daily Mail, court records show Gallagher entered a bail undertaking on December 28, 2025, which required him to be of good behavior, avoid alcohol and drugs, and comply with an apprehended violence order prohibiting contact with Cameron. However, the bail conditions did not require Gallagher to surrender his passport or prevent him from leaving Australia, raising questions among legal observers about why travel restrictions were omitted for an accused individual with strong ties abroad.
Adding to his legal troubles, Gallagher also faces an active arrest warrant in Ireland. According to Irish court records cited by The Daily Mail, Gallagher was accused of assaulting a man in Dungloe in August 2022 and subsequently failed to appear for a scheduled court hearing in April 2025, resulting in an arrest warrant issued by the Dungloe District Court.
Network Response and Ex-Partner Statement
In light of the mounting legal developments, network representatives told the Los Angeles Times that “Bravo does not plan on working with Nathan in the future.” The decision follows public statements from Cameron, who shared an update on Instagram thanking supporters. According to the article, Cameron told her followers that she has been using the past few months to quietly heal and rebuild for herself and her 14-month-old son, Kayden.
Gallagher previously addressed the split in a statement provided to Rolling Stone, claiming that public reports represented only one side of the situation and that he possessed contemporaneous video footage and messages providing additional context. Following his failure to appear in court, New South Wales Police released his official police mugshot on social media to aid in his location and arrest.
