Nathan Gallagher gets into explosive argument with ‘Below Deck Med’ castmate in his final episode: ‘Don’t tempt me’

Nathan Gallagher and his “Below Deck Mediterranean” co-star Joe Bradley butted heads again during Monday’s finale.

The castmates, who previously made headlines for an explosive fight in a September episode, argued when discussing the baby boy Gallagher shares with then-girlfriend Gael Cameron.

Bradley quipped that “it would be so much easier if” Gallagher wasn’t a dad to Kayden, now 1.

“Do not disrespect my family. Do not disrespect my girlfriend,” Gallagher replied. “And that is all I have to say to you. I will leave it on that note.”

As he continued trying to stop Bradley from speaking, the latter asked, “Or what? Are you going to f–king hit me?”

Gallagher said, “Do not tempt me. So keep your mouth shut.”

When Bradley predicted that Cameron, 30, would not be happy about her partner getting into a fight, Gallagher said he didn’t “give a s–t.”

“Or what?” Bradley asked. “Are you going to f–king hit me?” Bravo

The bosun pretended to throw an empty water bottle at Bradley and said, “That’s real talk. Don’t give a f–k about all this. If you want me to be real, you will listen to me. Keep her name out of your mouth. That’s a good decision.”

Gallagher subsequently left the boat. When he and Bradley reunited the following morning, they amicably said goodbye but made it clear they wouldn’t work together in the future.

When the duo previously clashed during a September episode, Gallagher said he would turn Bradley’s “smirk into a frown really fast.”

Monday’s episode, which was filmed mid-2025, marked Gallagher’s last ever as Bravo has parted ways with him in the wake of his domestic violence arrest — a decision Bradley showed support for via Instagram.

News broke in August that Gallagher was charged in December 2025 with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally choking a person without consent and common assault.

According to the arrest warrant issued in Australia, Gallagher allegedly “suffocated and choked” Cameron and “struck” her in the face.

While he has “categorically” denied this, Judge Janine Lacy declared the offenses “proven” when issuing the warrant.

Gallagher did admit to making “mistakes” and said he would “take responsibility for [his] own actions” in a lengthy statement to Rolling Stone — but claimed to have “evidence that may materially contradict or provide significant context” to the claims.

“I don’t believe it is fair for one version of events to be presented publicly as though it is the complete story,” he told the outlet.

Cameron, who gave birth to Kayden in June 2025, explained to her Instagram followers last month how she is navigating the “tough season.”

She wrote, “I have been using the past few months to quietly heal and rebuild for little man and myself. … I’m really working on finding myself again and moving forward.”
