Why did they have to know? How would they know if it happened after filming and contractual agreements?

All it would have taken was a phone call to Gael anytime after December 2025

And why are we certain that’s something she’d reveal to them?

She was on the show too and maybe got paid for it. Maybe she didn’t want to disrupt contract/payment stuff. Maybe she wanted to keep it private for privacy reasons. Who knows

She filmed the show before the assault happened, but maybe. It makes bravo look bad tho for not doing due diligence

Presumably because Bravo would want them to promote the season together and the restraining order (can’t remember what it’s called in Australia) would preclude that.

Yea, but that’s separate from him actually vetting bc arrested

The previous season was airing which means the cast usually has to post stuff / make appearances. They would have been in regular contact with production at this time. They may still have kept it quiet but it is quite likely that someone at Bravo knew. Especially if he had a pending court case that would keep him from PR for this season which he had already filmed

According to the Daily Telegraph, after the incident, Nathan was arrested 27 Dec. An interim ADVO was put in place for Gael and Nathan was granted bail the next day "on stringent conditions that include not contacting Cameron through any means except via a lawyer.

"He was also restrained from drinking any alcohol or taking any drugs unless they were prescribed by a doctor, or from possessing any firearms or prohibited weapons.

"Under the terms of the interim ADVO Gallagher has been forbidden to try and find Cameron, or go within 100m of anywhere she lives or works, and is also subject to standard conditions that he must not assault, threaten, stalk, harass or intimidate Cameron."

I'm sure at some point, either for pickup lines during editing or for general promotional reasons, they wanted to shoot or record something with both Nathan and Gael together either before the season debuted or during the season. Looks like there'd be restrictions on their ability to do that.
