Legal Proceedings and Arrest Warrant in Australia
The legal case against Gallagher stems from an incident on December 26, 2025, at an apartment complex in Melrose Park, a suburb of Sydney. According to court documents and police reports obtained by various outlets, Ryde Police Area Command responded to reports of an alleged assault and arrested Gallagher the following day. Prosecutors charged the 28-year-old Ireland native with three domestic violence offenses: assault occasioning actual bodily harm, common assault, and intentionally choking a person without consent.
Although initial police reports noted no serious injuries at the time of the booking, following his December arrest, Gallagher was released on conditional bail.
The situation escalated when Gallagher failed to appear for a scheduled hearing at Burwood Local Court. Judge Janine Lacy proceeded to convict the reality star on all three charges in absentia. The New South Wales Police Force subsequently issued an active arrest warrant, noting that Gallagher is believed to be offshore and urging citizens with information to contact authorities. Cameron is also connected to an Apprehended Violence Application filed in New South Wales to provide protective legal measures.
Bravo Cuts Ties and Cast Reactions
In response to the conviction and active warrant, television network Bravo officially severed professional ties with Gallagher. A network spokesperson confirmed the decision, stating that Bravo does not plan on working with Nathan in the future.
Gallagher had appeared across the past three seasons of the reality spinoff, taking on the role of bosun in Season 11. Production on the current season wrapped long before the December 2025 arrest, and network representatives confirmed there are no plans to remove his footage from upcoming episodes, which air on Mondays and are scheduled for a season finale on October 5.
Other figures within the franchise have reacted to the unfolding controversy. Joe Bradley, a co-star from Below Deck Mediterranean,
quietly signaled his support for Bravo’s decision by liking an Instagram post detailing the network’s departure from Gallagher. Bradley had previously expressed tension with Gallagher during the airing of the season, remarking earlier in the summer that his presence on the boat was detrimental.
Disputed Accounts and Unresolved Legal Exposure
Prior to wiping his social media accounts clean and deleting his Instagram profile ahead of his court date, Gallagher issued a statement defending his position while acknowledging personal shortcomings.
“I’m not claiming I was perfect. I wasn’t. I made mistakes, and I will take responsibility for my own actions. 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.”

Gallagher asserted that he possessed contemporaneous video footage and message records that offered broader context to what he termed an extremely complicated situation, though those materials were not provided for public review. Beyond the Australian proceedings, public records also indicate that Gallagher faces an active bench warrant in Ireland issued by the Dungloe District Court in April 2025, following a failure to appear over an alleged August 2022 assault on Main Street in Dungloe.
