An Irish reality television personality has reportedly departed Australia following charges of assault and choking against his former partner and co-star. The incident has drawn significant attention, highlighting issues of domestic violence in the entertainment industry.
Nathan Gallagher arrested and bail
Gallagher appeared in a bail court on December 28, where he was granted conditional bail after pleading not guilty to all three charges. In August 2026, Us confirmed that Nathan had been arrested in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident that occurred in December 2025 in Australia. Last Christmas, Gallagher, originally from Burtonport in Co. Donegal, spent a night in police custody before being granted bail. At that time, his bail conditions did not mandate him to report to the police or surrender his passport, even though he was employed on yachts and traveled globally. The incident occurred on St Stephen’s Day. Nathan addressed the allegations publicly that same month, disclosing that he and Gael had ended their relationship.
Nathan Gallagher , known for his appearance on the popular series Below Deck Mediterranean, faced assault charges for an incident involving Gael Cameron at her Sydney apartment last year.
However, the 28-year-old did not show up.
Judge Lacy verified that Gallagher’s immigration records indicated he was “overseas” before convicting him in his absence and issuing a warrant for his arrest. The case was scheduled to be presented before Judge Janine Lacy in Burwood Local Court on Tuesday.
