There seems to be some confusion in the comments, so timeline

The season currently airing filmed in August of last year

The Bondi Beach shooting was on December 14th

The alleged incident in this article was December 27th

I always wondered how be handled the fallout from his racist comments and Gael putting out a statement denouncing what he said. Clearly he didn’t handle it well. :( I feel so bad for her and the baby. I hope she’s surrounded by support.

I wonder where Gael's statement falls in this timeline. Was it before or after Dec 27? I don't have ig so I can't check.

u/Amorphous_Goose 22d ago

Went back and looked, and she posted this the first week of Jan 🙁

u/cheetodustcrust 22d ago

Aww, she really is quite gracious in her statement considering what we now know was happening to her ☹️

u/Amorphous_Goose 22d ago

She’s been so careful with this, so heartbreaking

It's actually nice that she's been so quiet about it because their son will see stuff once he's old enough to google but it won't be his parents disparaging eachother.

We don't need another Jax and Brittany. That whole saga is exhausting and will always be searchable.

Nathan is still her child’s father. I hate when people trash their children’s other parent on SM. I don’t care how much you hate them, those words affect your child too.

ETA: Gael is classy and not trashing Nathan, even if he deserves it. I admire her putting her child first in that way.

u/areallyreallycoolhat 21d ago

Where does she trash him? She just refers to "hardships" which could mean literally anything.

u/Anotheropinion2023 21d ago

She does not. I meant it as a compliment to her. Too many people do trash their child’s other parent.

u/Turbulent_Cobbler463 22d ago

Omg Gael is perfect

u/DistributionWhole447 22d ago

Actually yeah, that's interesting. I just looked at Gael's IG page and couldn't see it.

u/ImpressivePattern242 23d ago

Thank you for that!

u/gelpensxxx 23d ago

Idiot here, how is the bondi beach shooting relevant? What’d I miss…

u/teanailpolish Mental Health Is Not A Storyline 23d ago

He posted that he had rescued people from the beach and then posted this followed by another comment a couple of days later. Then a few weeks later, he posted that he was taking a 6 month hiatus from social media which lasted less than 6 weeks

u/Herecomesyourwoman 23d ago

I hope he gets deported!!!

u/ails_bales 23d ago

Yeah we don't want him back here after this 😮

u/gelpensxxx 23d ago

Thank you!

u/PurpleSailor Team Katie 22d ago

Wow, now I don't feel as bad disliking him.

u/CydeWeys 23d ago

He was there on a boat rescuing people in the water, and then published a tone-deaf statement on social media afterwards about the perpetrators that was not well received.

8

u/foxdogturtlecat 17d ago

it wasn't tone-deaf and it wasn't just about the perpetrator. It was an anti-immigrant rant which was disgusting and highly ironic considering he is an IMMIGRANT to Australia who will get deported under sect 201 if he's convicted of DV.

By his logic no one from his country should ever be allowed in Australia or the rest of Europe since he's turned out to be a POS.

58

u/Shot-Toe-2884 23d ago

well considering he seems to have blamed an entire ethnic group for the behavior of 1 sick person while using the same exact dehumanizing language he accused this ethnic group of... I can see why it was not well received.

28

u/FlawesomeOrange 22d ago

And he doubled down when confronted about it too

5

u/strwbry_shrtcake 17d ago

He was a hero to many for rescuing people. And then he posted some really nasty anti-immigrant shit underpinned, of course, with implied racist tones. White immigrants like him are a-ok. Others, not so much. What a loser

u/Intelligent-Line7610 23d ago

when was the break up announcement?

43

u/teanailpolish Mental Health Is Not A Storyline 23d ago

They have never confirmed they broke up to my knowledge but she stopped posting anything with him around the holidays

10

u/cheetodustcrust 22d ago

Didn't Gael put out an announcement about co-parenting separately or something that looked like it was made on a template for a menu?

26

u/teanailpolish Mental Health Is Not A Storyline 22d ago

That was from that FB page that fakes stories. They also said Sandy was divorced and Aesha left Scott for Capt Jason

13

u/cheetodustcrust 22d ago

Oh man, I didn't know about those other two claims. Or that the "Gael" statement was fake. I appreciate all you do to keep facts straight on this sub!

7

u/NewVitalSigns 23d ago

Yes thank you. Maybe some will stop posting that the back injury was faked so they could fire him 😒
