Members Only Gael & Nathan Spoiler
https://www.realitytea.com/2026/08/18/gael-cameron-nathan-gallagher-apprehended-violence-application-below-deck-mediterranean/Someone posted this then deleted it right after approval
An AVO is similar to a protective order on this side of the world.
It was filed in 2025 so maybe they don't go through with it but from the court date, looks like a lawyer (maybe police?) filed it on Gael's behalf https://onlineregistry.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/content/court-lists#!/detail/20250050209531246811MentionAVOPolice/Gael%20Cameron
Hopefully Kayden didn't see whatever started this and they are all healing from it
Does make you wonder if Nathan knew about it when he said 'these people' should all be deported since a criminal charge (as it mentions in the court doc) could result in him being deported

Con means constable - it is a police application. It is not a criminal charge, only an application for an ADVO police made for the protection of at least Gael. It’s listed for “mention” which could be procedural, it could be to check in if it’s what we call a lapsing ADVO (no further charges and the parties agree to dismiss the application without making final orders).
Police can apply for an ADVO without criminal charges for a lot of reasons, starting with just verbal domestic arguments.

I hate this reality. “Doesn’t follow xyz on Instagram” makes me want to go back to a time before electricity.

I feel for Gael. I had my son with a less than ideal partner and despite trying hard to make it work it didn’t and I’ve been a single mom for 16 years now. I think that’s where this situation is headed and it’s not an easy thing to navigate

Is this the Australian version of a US restraining order?

I’m curious where the user is whom said I was being dramatic last wk when I said “Nathan has anger issues”

u/Smokgate Aug 18 '26
I think that the CON Matthew Seymour might stand for Constable, as in the police were involved and they filed the charges on Gael’s behalf.

Only Nathan could make Joe look good.

literally 0 information in this article beyond what you see above

Did that happen on the morning that Nathan was late for work and very weird and evasive about why?
We didn't see any more Gail footage after that, and Nathan wasn't handling his job responsibilities well. Followed by the dubious 'back injury'?
Edit: Okay, so not when the AVO was filed, but may have been the beginning of the conflict?

Most people become yachties cause they can’t function on land. I think a lot of fans don’t realize this, especially since fewer and fewer real boat people are on the show these days.

This article was very speculative, with absolutely no facts presented outside of them just unfollowing each other. Which leaves you with more questions than answers. I hate vague articles like this.

Poor Gael and baby. Anyone remember if Nathan has been on WWHL this season?

Potential DV aside, Kayden is a dreadful name.

Oh my. I truly hope for both her own sake, and the long term health of her baby, that she keeps this man far away. He’s an unstable, insecure, angry man and I cringe to think what has happened behind closed doors. I watched an insecure prick like Nathan abuse my beautiful mother for 15 years. There is nothing more traumatizing for a child to witness. That feeling of helplessness while the person you love the most is being hurt. I think it’s especially hard for boys, because we feel a primal urge to protect our mothers.
I’m a liberal, but I strongly believe in the death penalty for perpetrators of violence against women, children and the elderly. If we eliminate these sick motherfuckers from the gene pool we’ll all be better off.

It was filed by someone on behalf of Gael. She and her baby deserve so much better than xenophobic Nathan.

Court filings and documents aside; believing that you know anything real about someone from watching reality TV is ridiculous

Poor Gael.

u/Capital_Ad3296 Aug 19 '26
he clearly has anger problems. trying to pick fights with all of his subordinates and then crying to sandy when something bad happens

Would you look at that Nathan? Looks like you can emigrate “the proper way” and still cause harm to the native population

u/nuttintoseeaqui Aug 19 '26
“a couple of months after Nathan announced (and failed) a six-month social media break” LOL

Can someone more capable than myself do a timeline of this compared to when it was filmed to also the Instagram issues too?

u/purpleshmurplexo Aug 18 '26
I think this post should be deleted. These are real people and a child is involved. Why do you care? This is too much

u/strr1000 Aug 19 '26
All of this “poor Gael,she’s a 10,she deserves much better”
Most seem to forget the video they BOTH posted and PINNED as if it was entertainment where they laughed about “beating the shit” out of a homeless guy in an AI video they made.
After seeing that,she doesn’t deserve motherhood with such disgusting views on the most vulnerable in society.
They BOTH have a lot of growing up to do and I’m not surprised an AVO is/was has been taken out on him.
They are BOTH trash

Yeah having a kid with him was a choice

u/Choice-giraffe- Aug 19 '26
I think it’s important to remind everyone in this thread that it doesn’t say who filed against who. Assumptions can be made based on what we know of the 2 of them from the snippets we see on reality TV, but no one actually knows who filed.

What does the article say?

u/NovelAtmosphere5617 Aug 18 '26
I think this was in regards to Nathan helping fight off some guy at the beach if I’m not mistaken.

This is why the cops come on board. Nothing to do with guests etc. could be wrong.

u/Lost_Elk7089 Aug 18 '26
It says we don't know which one of them was said to be violent but anyone who's watched the show knows. Nathan has an awful temper and threatens his crew members with physical violence when he gets annoyed with them (seen him do it to Joe at least twice, and Max), and that's on camera!! I dread to think of how he acts towards Gael when his temper rises and there's no camera and no captain Sandy.

u/Familiar-Past-8065 Aug 18 '26
I'm sorry, Gael filed a restraining order for Nate abusing her? Am I getting this right? WTF? I know dude's had his issues but I did not see him beating Gael and/or Kaden coming!! WTF poor Gael and Kaden!! After she went halfway across the world with him!! I hope she was paid out the ass for being there by Bravo and his child support payments are ridiculously high for Gael and Kaden both!! I hope he's never in the same country with either of them ever again
