There’s a major update in the legal battle between Bravo, a former Below Deck camera operator, and Below Deck Sailing Yacht cast member Gary King.

Reality Tea reported on the case back in 2023, when a makeup artist named Samantha Suarez, along with camera operator Grey Duddleston, accused Gary of various instances of sexual misconduct while filming Below Deck Sailing Yacht in 2022.

Gary denied any wrongdoing, while Samantha and Grey claimed they were fired after reporting him. Bravo’s lawyers tried to force Grey into arbitration. However, a judge just ruled that things can move forward in court.

According to court documents reviewed by Deadline, NBCUniversal Media LLC, Bravo Media LLC, and Mountain View Productions LLC filed a motion to try to keep Grey bound to a mandatory arbitration agreement he signed at the time of his employment.

A Los Angeles judge just ruled against this. They cited the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act of 2021. If someone is potentially a victim of sexual assault or harassment, this law allows them to circumvent arbitration agreements and pursue their claims in court.

The claims in the lawsuit revolve around several incidents that occurred when filming BDSY Season 4 in Sardinia. Allegedly, Gary tried to hold Samantha hostage in a hotel room, and she feared he would sexually assault her.

Grey, who was Samantha’s boyfriend at the time, later claimed to have witnessed further misconduct from Gary. He said he watched Gary undo the bikini tops of two Below Deck cast members without their consent. He also claimed to have seen Gary grab two camera operators’ genitals and make inappropriate comments to a female audio technician.

In the lawsuit, Grey and Samantha accused Gary of being a “known drunkard and serial harasser.” Their lawsuit accuses him of sexual battery. They’re blaming the show’s production team for creating a hostile work environment, retaliation, and failure to prevent discrimination.

There’s another hearing scheduled for April 28, where defense attorneys will try to get Samantha’s claims tossed out of court. They intend to argue that Samantha, a Georgia resident, can’t sue in a California court over something that happened in Sardinia. Stay tuned as this continues to drag out in court.

Tonight, Below Deck Down Under Season 4 premieres. And when it does, several familiar faces will be at the helm. This season, Captain Jason Chambers clearly scored a major win with the casting department. But even though he’s getting the cream of this franchise’s crop, problems will still arise onboard.

This season, Captain Jason’s right-hand lady is none other than Daisy Kelliher, who jumped ship from Below Deck Sailing Yacht. Since the fate of BDSY remains unknown, this opportunity is a great one for Daisy. That is, as long as her interior team can also rise to the occasion.

Meanwhile, João Franco is walking onboard as the exterior department head. Now, João has appeared on Below Deck Mediterranean and BDDU. And thankfully, he and Daisy seemingly get along this season, based on everything we’ve read so far.

Finally, in the galley, Ben Robsinson is making his way out of retirement. Ben hasn’t worked on a yacht in years. But this season, Captain Jason needed a last-minute replacement, and luckily for him, Ben just so happened to be free.

Clearly, with three returning department heads, consider fans ready for BDDU Season 4. But what have these OGs teased about this all-star season?

Daisy Kelliher says Chef Ben Robinson “challenged” her on Below Deck Down Under Season 4

As seen in the trailer, Daisy and Ben have never worked together before. And after this season, they may never work together again. Unless, that is, you take Ben’s words over Daisy’s.

To explain, when asked at BravoCon how Season 4 went, Daisy made sure to note that Ben “challenged [her] in every way possible.” However, “at first, he was great. But then I learned he couldn’t tell time, so that was a big problem when it came to dinner service,” she explained. At her side, Ben rolled his eyes in good humor, and then he challenged Daisy’s stance.

“I’m English. Different timezone,” Ben quipped. Daisy laughed, but then she further explained that their relationship this season was “interesting.” Because in addition to his failed “timekeeping,” Ben also behaves “like a guest” this season, Daisy revealed, noting her shock that Ben wasn’t wearing one of their guests’ robes while sitting on this panel.

So, what rubbed Ben the wrong way about Daisy? “Nothing really, to be honest,” Ben answered. “Actually, I thought we had a great relationship. I’m completely blindsided.”

But the way João, Daisy, and even Ben immediately started laughing teases otherwise. Whatever happens here, at least they can all laugh about it now. However, the verdict is still out on Alesia Harris’s take. As of now, her statements about BDDU Season 4 are limited.

Daisy and João Franco have a strong connection

On this same BravoCon panel, the moderator noted that Daisy seemed to share a strong bond with João, at least according to the trailer. When pressed about whether it was “love or lust at first sight” with João, Daisy stammered. After admitting that her “adrenaline [was] going so fast,” Daisy finally acknowledged that their bond was more of “a slow build.”

“I’m a slow builder, so I don’t wanna give too many spoilers away,” Daisy continued. “But João and I had a great relationship, we’re friends,” she stressed. Yet, when saying the word “friends,” Daisy did so flirtatiously, making João laugh on their shared stage. Apart from his laughter, João didn’t add anything extra to Daisy’s statement, but we do know that, whatever happens, João is already back with his ex, whose name is not Daisy.

Regardless, after their cameras went down, Daisy appeared on Watch What Happens Live. While here, she reiterated that she and João “worked well as a team.” And, as far as João goes, last October, he teased, “THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE CRAZY RIDE!!”

He was speaking about their crossover episodes with the cast of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. And as João further stressed, “Can’t wait until you all see our side of these episodes.” Fans won’t have to wait very long for this, as these hot messes are the very first charter guests of Season 4.

Captain Jason Chambers promises “dynamics” shifting in the BDDU crew

Between the hot and cold pairings of his department heads, Captain Jason might experience a turbulent season. Or not. Captains never really see the drama until each season airs. Even still, he admits that he’s lucky to have such capable yachties on board.

As Captain Jason explained to TV Insider, this season, Daisy thankfully “blew it right out of the park. Her process, of wanting to perform at her best, is all we can ask for, and she did. First and foremost, she wants to do her job very well. That’s all you can ask from the cruise.”

Regarding Ben and João, these yachties also gained Captain Jason’s trust. But the crew dynamics as a whole will either sink or swim this season, he admits.

“I think the crew dynamic that goes on, I can only imagine what happened off the boat because I hadn’t seen it myself. What I see we put together and what we came out with, I had to understand what was happening. I’m [mostly] worried about what is happening at work, but you could see the dynamics shift so many times with the crew. But at the end of the day, in front of the house, we were spot on with the charter guests,” Captain Jason detailed.

He continued, “You’re going to see João’s character come out, Daisy’s, and all the crew that participated. All of them have a great story to tell. I think we got there in the end.”

Daisy Kelliher and Colin MacRae’s brief relationship on Below Deck Sailing Yacht was quite the romance. As most relationships are in the beginning. It was a friendship that blossomed into romance for Season 4 of the Below Deck spinoff.

But when Colin found out the extent of Daisy’s prior relationship with Gary King, he backed out. It was a typical love triangle gone wrong. Colin also left the show to boot. So it really was and ending to end all. But fans are still curious as to whether the former couple keep in touch. And the topic came up during a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live.

Daisy Kelliher and Colin MacRae have not spoken “in a while”

Daisy appeared on WWHL recently with Captain Jason Chambers. They were on to dish about the Real Houseives of Salt Lake City crossover with Below Deck Down Under. It was a charter filled with fights, sea sickness, and one very annoying plush unicorn.

But the question of Daisy and Colin’s post-breakup communication came up. A fan called in to ask the chief stew “when was the last time you spoke to him?” Daisy joked, “Hi. Getting straight to the juicy stuff.”

“I have not spoken to him in a while. Sometimes he DM’s me, and I DM back. And our relationship is non existent. But nothing malice or anything. Just, it was a relationship. It’s not anymore,” the Bravolebrity continued.

Captain Jason revealed that he “went sailing” with Colin “in Indonesia.” Colin owns a catamaran, and took on a personal challenge to sail around the world. He shares the finer aspects of his journey on social media.

“He spoke very highly of me?” Daisy pressed jokingly.

“Always,” the captain repluied. “Always. You took the words right out of my mouth.”

Hannah Ferrier and Eddie Lucas are about to set sail on a Royal Caribbean ship with other yachties from the Below Deck franchise. If you hurry, you can join these stars for an “unforgettable” vacation aboard their vessel. However, these cast members will not be wineing and dining you. Instead, these Below Deck stars are coming onboard to mix and mingle with their fellow travelers.

Fraser Olender, Ashling Lorger and other Below Deck stars will also appear on the cruise

Earlier this week, Hannah posted an image that showcased several Bravo yachties. In the captain, she specifically mentioned Daisy Kelliher and Fraser Olender, two of her fellow Chief Stews from this series. “All aboard! Join Hannah, Daisy, Fraser & friends—the best chief stews on the sea—for an unforgettable 4-night cruise filled with karaoke, trivia, exclusive meet & greets, and endless fun!” Hannah penned.

Setting sail from Miami, you can join these yachties for “3 days of parties, luxury dining, tropical islands & once-in-a-lifetime moments with your favorite reality TV stars.” But, there are “Limited rooms available – don’t miss the boat! Book now,” Hannah stressed.

Aside from Hannah, Daisy, Eddie, and Fraser, Ashling Lorger will also be present. This stew appeared on Below Deck during Season 8. Hopefully, she will not drain the hot tubs on this ship. IYKYK.

Lucy Edmunds and Alli Dore are also joining in on the fun. Their reunion with their former Chief Stew, Daisy, will likely create many fun moments on the Lido deck of this ship. Even though these gals starred on separate seasons, they both experienced messy love triangles during filming. So hopefully, this trip sets sail on smoother, far less complicated waters.

Speaking of setting sail, Bárbara Kulaif just finished filming on Below Deck. In the comments, she expressed an interest in joining this trip. “I wanna go,” she wrote. We hope Bravo takes note, because Bárbara could use this break, since her season treated her so poorly.

Below Deck, Below Deck Mediterranean, and Below Deck Sailing Yacht are all streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

The Below Deck franchise now has four series that continuously air on Bravo. All of these iterations make for great escapism sessions, filled with drama, laughs, and arguments that make us thankful to be on our couches, not dealing with these issues. Making this franchise even greater, all of these series feature a competent captain. However, certain seasons within these spin-offs have highlighted how strong these leaders are in times of distress.

Which Below Deck season had the best captain ranked

Before we detail which season each skipper shone the brightest, we have to note Below Deck Adventure is done. With only one season to speak of in this now-defunct spin-off, we will leave this series untouched. However, since this leader is now starring in a different series of this franchise, he will still appear on this list.

Each has filmed (at least) one season that highlights their abilities. If you are seeking to watch each leader at their best, here they are, ranked from their solid to superior showings on Below Deck.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 3, Captain Glenn Shephard

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is five seasons in, each led by Captain Glenn Shephard. However, Season 3 of BDSY is by far the best season featuring his leadership skills.

Despite the challenges faced during BDSY Season 3, including a severe storm, a firing, and a grounding incident, Captain Glenn maintained a calm demeanor. Additionally, he trusted his department heads to do their jobs, so micromanaging was never an issue during Season 3. And when a charter guest ruined a $50k couch after a self-tanning session, he ate a huge wafer, and then he dealt with the primary, who assured him they would cover the costs. But much to their relief, Captain Glenn helped scrub this stain out, which made fans root harder for him.

Below Deck Season 11, Captain Kerry Titheradge

After jumping ship from Below Deck Adventure, Captain Kerry Titheradge stepped into the wheelhouse of Below Deck. He has only starred in this series for two seasons. Yet, it was Below Deck Season 11 that made fans take note who came aboard with a personable presence, making his team feel at ease.

When his crew experienced emotional days, Captain Kerry spoke about mental health matters, letting everyone know they were never alone on his watch. He even took one of his crew members out on the eFoil board, knowing that the salty waters and sunshine would help heal her frustrations. But when push came to shove, Captain Kerry was quick to either fire someone, or roll up his sleeves and help each department out. Below Deck Season 11 changed the trajectory of this series, and we only have Captain Kerry to thank.

Below Deck Season 6, Captain Lee Rosbach

If you have always watched Below Deck, then you likely remember Ashton Pienaar. In Season 6, a line used to tow tender boats wrapped around Ashton’s ankle, pulling him into the ocean. Captain Lee Rosbach quickly took the boat out of gear, while his crew, aided by a cameraman, loosened the tow line. Once his ankle was no longer bound, a shaken Ashton swam to the nearby tender.

Growing emotional, Captain Lee sat everyone down for a teachable moment, showing them a video replay of Ashton’s accident. Here, everyone learned that the deckhand was just seconds away from his foot getting severed by the line. This event would have seen Ashton bleeding out in the water. Below Deck Season 6 aired a stirring, quick-thinking side of Captain Lee that is proving difficult to erase from memory.

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 2, Captain Sandy Yawn

Captain Sandy Yawn excelled in Below Deck Mediterranean Season 2. During what was supposed to be a controlled anchor drop, Bobby Giancola released far more than the five shackles Captain Sandy called for. Captain Sandy, therefore, yelled for Bobby to stop. In a confessional, Bobby explained that he “sucks at math.”

“I’m not going to get down on Bobby. He already knows he screwed up, so after this charter, we’ll talk about it,” explained a very calm Captain Sandy. When the guests departed, she did exactly that, working with Bobby on translating shackles to meters.

Any other boss might have lost their cool. Bobby’s error could have caused expensive damage to the yacht. Therefore, this highly teachable moment in BDM Season 2 is one of Captain Sandy’s highest highs yet.

Below Deck Down Under Season 2, Captain Jason Chambers

Captain Jason Chambers is a fan-favorite kind of man, especially following the disaster that was Below Deck Down Under Season 2. During this season, Captain Jason received praise for how well he handled two different sexual assaults on his watch. He made it clear that there was an absolute zero-tolerance policy on unwanted advances. Then, he immediately fired the offenders, which made viewers respect him even more.

Apart from this dark incident, Captain Jason also did a solid job leading the crew during BDDU Season 2. He fired several crew members, and then he softened his voice for those in distress. He even had some interesting fashion choices, which is (really) all that needs to be said. Captain Jason wins, as proven by his exceptional BDDU Season 2 leadership.

The Below Deck franchise is streaming on Peacock. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

Daisy Kelliher joined Below Deck Sailing Yacht in Season 2. She stayed on as chief stew through Season 5. Recently, the UK native branched out into running exclusive tours for groups looking for an unique experience.

Daisy quickly became a favorite on BDSY. She ran her department well and partied hard. The Bravolebrity also dabbled in all the drama. Her love triangle with Gary King and Colin MacRae made for great reality TV viewing. And during her time on Below Deck, she learned all the inside info about making a great reality TV show. That included all the guidelines for filming.

Daisy Kelliher was given strict rules for Below Deck Sailing Yacht

Daisy exclusively told The Mirror that rules are in place to ensure the fourth wall isn’t broken. And it was more strict during the pandemic, though little has changed since 2021 when she joined the cast. She’s a loyal cast member, though drama working with Gary had her questioning whether it was all worth it.

“We have super strict rules to not break the fourth wall. During COVID, [the camera crew] would wear masks and we wouldn’t even learn their names,” she explained.

Daisy continued, “Now we might get a name but we really have no interaction with them. Sometimes we get to talk at the end of a season during promo,” she added. “But Below Deck wants to be fully unscripted and they want the camera crew to remain anonymous and as if they’re not there.”

By making the production team anonymous, the crew can better “forget about the cameras.” Daisy admitted that the strict standards are effective. She claimed that everything viewers saw on Below Deck Sailing Yacht was “not faked.”

“They want you to forget about the cameras,” she shared. “And it works because the camera crew almost becomes invisible.”

The rules also heightened the cast drama

As for the drama on board, Daisy admitted that it can be “self-produced.” The reality TV star explained, “But I will say something that is escalated — the intensity and frequency of the drama. But the idea is there and this sort of stuff does happen. The show is supposed to represent the work hard and play hard aspect of the [job]. We do work those long hours and it’s very full-on. We do go out and socialize together after getting the big tip.”

Daisy continued, “When I watched the show before I did it, I thought the drama was insane — especially cast members arguing in restaurants and kicking off. But in the show, you’re never given space to have private arguments.”

The crew is obligated to go to the dinners, despite how they are feeling. And that also adds to any volatile situation.

“If I was arguing with someone on a normal boat, I probably wouldn’t go to the crew dinner. But you’ve signed up for a show and you’re also living in a bubble, plus you’re tired. Production doesn’t need to interfere and the emotions are very real,” Daisy concluded.

Catch Below Deck Sailing Yacht now streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

The Below Deck franchise has been associated with several legal matters, most of which related to its own cast members. Recently, though, a former charter guest has made headlines for a case that has the government involved.

Specifically, the home of Anthony Drewitt-Barlow, who once appeared on Below Deck Sailing Yacht was raided. There isn’t a lot of information related to the situation, but here is everything that has been publicly revealed so far.

Feds raided former Below Deck guest Anthony Drewitt-Barlow’s home

It was reported that his home in Tampa, Florida, was recently raided by Homeland Security. Whilst there is no official cause for the search, it’s been suggested that it may relate to sex trafficking.

“Anyone with knowledge of a potential victim of sex trafficking, or have been a witness to sex trafficking, in this case, should call the tip line at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE,” a source told TMZ.

The source also claimed that the raid was part of an active investigation. Because of this, there aren’t many known details, including whether or not Anthony is specifically involved in this alleged case. He has not spoken out publicly since the raid.

Back in 2021, Anthony appeared as a charter guest on Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 2. He went on vacation with his ex-husband, Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, their children, and Barrie’s boyfriend, Scott Hutchinson. Shockingly, Scott also happens to be the ex-boyfriend of Tony and Barrie’s daughter Saffron Drewitt Barlow, who came along on the trip too.

The family of nine was considered one of the most high-maintenance groups in the history of Sailing Yacht. Mainly, the criticism came from Barrie’s consistent conflicts with Chef Natasha De Bourg.

Their charter ended in Barrie’s surprise proposal to Scott, which he accepted. The couple’s special day also happens to be Tony’s birthday.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

Below Deck Down Under Season 3 is still airing on Bravo, but that minor detail is not stopping the network from releasing intel on their currently filming Season 4. Based on the one image and explainer statement released, we now know that Daisy Kelliher, Chef Ben Robinson, and the entire cast of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are all coming on board!

As BDDU Season 3 continues sailing into murky waters, take heart as a (hopefully) brighter Season 4 is underway. From crossovers to returning fan favorites on this newer Below Deck spin-off, fans are excited for Season 4 of BDDU. Let’s break down what Bravo just released.

Daisy Kelliher and Chef Ben Robinson are joining the cast of Below Deck Down Under Season 4

Bravo just did us a solid favor over on Instagram. We will get to the Real Housewives aspect in just a second. But first, look at this image. Immediately, you will see Daisy and Chef Ben standing at the side of Captain Jason Chambers.

Last year, Chef Ben hinted at his interest in returning to this franchise. His wishes have just come true, as Chef Ben is now on the yacht filming for BDDU Season 4. Sadly, this does mean that Tzarina Mace-Ralph is likely out. Unless she presents as his sous-chef, but it feels unlikely.

Chef Ben appeared in Seasons 1 through 4 of Below Deck. He has also starred in Season 1 and then Season 4 of Below Deck Mediterranean. His British wit, sass, and charm make for excellent television. But his skills in the galley set him apart, as almost every dish he puts out, the guests have loved.

We have not seen Chef Ben in ages. Having this man back on our screens in Season 4 of BDDU feels like an early Christmas gift, which we are eager to unwrap. But, can Chef Ben get along with Daisy, who is jumping ship from Below Deck Sailing Yacht to star alongside him on BDDU?

We hope so. Viewers want nothing more than for Daisy to leap and land into a safe and productive filming environment via BDDU.

The last time we saw the ladies of RHOSLC, they were wading through their shifting friendships at the Season 5 reunion. Now, these women are filming on a yacht, blessing our lives with the first crossover of its kind on Bravo. As the network penned on their recent social media reveal, “ALL CREW, ALL CREW… Little Girl!” Mary and her cohorts are now on board. “Below Deck Down Under Season 4 just started filming with a first-ever Real Housewives crossover charter featuring the” entire cast of RHOSLC Season 6, Bravo added, sending viewers to the comments within seconds.

Sure, Heather Gay has already guested on the seemingly defunct series, Below Deck Adventure. But now, she is returning to this franchise with her entire cast, which marks the first full crossover between these two franchises.

While we only see Mary Cosby and Angie Katsanevas in their recent social media post, their words stress that their entire cast is present. The others are likely off lounging somewhere. Or fighting.

BDSY is entering uncharted waters. Daisy has starred in this series since Season 2. At her side were always two blokes, but in Season 4, a love triangle blew this longstanding friends group up. After this storyline sank our sails, Colin MacRae exited filming ahead of Season 5.

His exit saw Daisy and Gary King struggling to make peace in Season 5. But this storyline was the least of their problems. As headlines continued mounting against Gary, threatening the future of BDSY, producers had no choice but to edit Gary out of certain scenes. What used to be a favorite Below Deck spin-off is now dragging its anchor across Bravo, as fans are growing weary of the toxic norms that have infiltrated this series.

While Daisy has never claimed to be perfect, her leader, Captain Glenn Shephard, often sided with Gary. His “subconsciously” motivated decisions sometimes made this series even more difficult to digest. Moving forward, the only thing that could save this series is a reboot, which would have left Daisy out to sea on Bravo.

But now, Daisy has seemingly found her life raft. With a new home away from home on BDDU, BDSY is far likelier to receive a much-needed cast shakeup.

Below Deck Down Under is streaming on Peacock.

Daisy Kelliher is branching out from the yachting industry. The Below Deck Sailing Yacht star is a fan-favorite and rocks her role as a chief stew. But in the spirit of evolution and ever reaching for the stars, the Bravolebrity will be exploring a complementary career path.

Below Deck’s Daisy has starred in the hit reality TV spin-off for five seasons. But perhaps it’s time for a new challenge. Her love of traveling and knowledge of superb hospitality will prove invaluable in this potential career niche.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht’s Daisy Kelliher shared career news with her followers

The Bravolebrity shared news of her plans to host trips to exotic destinations. On March 13, Daisy posted select photos of her travels from around the world and teased her new career plans.

“A few weeks ago I put up a story asking if anyone would be interested in coming away for me for a hosted trip and the response was so positive I knew I had to give it a go!” Daisy wrote.” I have decided to organise not just one but TWO different trips this year and I hope lots of you will join me!”

She added, “I’m so passionate about travelling and can’t wait to explore new places and make new friends and memories!”

Today, the reality TV star revealed that the first of two trips will be to Morocco in October 2025. She is partnering with @tourherotravel on this route to the North African country.

“I have always wanted to go to Morocco and I have always wanted to experience solo travel. But have always been too scared to go on my own, so this felt like the perfect opportunity to do both,” Daisy said of the partnership.

She is marketing the trip as “solo” or “group travel.” It’s perfect for those “who want to experience new places while creating new memories with like-minded people.”

“I have worked with @tourherotravel to come up with an itinerary that I think will suit a wide range of people. Experience some chill times as well as immerse ourselves in the culture of Morocco,” Daisy described the trip.

She invited interested persons to reach out via the link provided. Bravo fans now have a chance to travel with their favorite chief stew.

For five seasons, Gary King has been the heartthrob on Below Deck Sailing Yacht. The South African bosun has been involved in a love triangle and multiple boatmances. Viewers often watched as he drank a lot on crew nights out. However, after Season 4, Gary’s position on the series has been up in the air since a production assistant accused the First Officer of making unwanted sexual advances.  

What happened to Gary King?

Not long after Season 4 came to an end in August 2023, Gary was accused of misbehaving. A woman on the production team spoke out to Rolling Stone and implied the show and network covered up Gary’s sexual indiscretions. Samantha Suarez shared about Gary crossing the line with her more than once when she worked in the makeup department. She went as far as to allege that during Season 4, Gary tried to force himself onto her. Season 4 was filmed in Sardina back in 2022.

The cast and crew were put up in hotels, and Samantha was in charge of assisting the talent manager. This included keeping the cast sequestered in their room due to the COVID-19 rules. Samantha also revealed she was asked to walk an intoxicated Gary back to his room. She told the outlet, “There is no limit to alcohol consumption whatsoever, which I think poses a really big problem.” Once in his room, she shared that Gary asked her to climb into his bed. Samantha claimed she said, “I was like, ‘I have to go — I need to go bring other people water and food,’ and he’s like, ‘No, no, please.”

Gary King has a checkered past

The assistant said she told the Below Deck Sailing Yacht star “that she would sit outside his door to make sure he wouldn’t leave his hotel room.” As Samantha tried to leave, she claimed Gary went behind her and “grabbed her and pressed her against his body, and refused to let go even though she says she tried to kick and elbow him.” In his defense, Gary took to his Instagram, writing, “Sad to see this has all been edited out of tonight’s episode. Scary how ones persons lies can ruin someone’s career and livelihood.” Additionally, the network chose to cancel Gary and remove him from the BravoCon lineup in 2023. 

A year after the allegations, it was revealed that Gary, Bravo, NBCUniversal, and production companies 51 Minds and Endemol Shine are being sued. Samantha and camera operator Grey Duddleston have filed a lawsuit with the Superior Court of California. The lawsuit accuses the defendants of 16 claims, including sexual battery, assault, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and emotional distress. The complaint noted that on July 3, 2022, Gary allegedly held Samantha “hostage” as he restrained her from leaving the hotel room. 

The lawsuit is a part of Bravo’s Reality Reckoning

In the suit, Samantha shared she was “sure she would be raped” and that Gary kept rubbing her back and “smirking.” The defendant claimed she reported the incident to production, but Gary only received a warning. Then Grey reported seeing Gary “untie the bikini tops of two female cast members without their consent, make lewd remarks to a female audio technician, and grab the genitals of two male camera operators,” the complaint states. Grey reported what he saw over the crew’s walkie-talkie system, 51 Minds allegedly opened an investigation into inappropriate walkie-talkie use by Grey “rather than imposing consequences for King.” 

Gary, a “well-known drunkard and serial harasser,” was welcomed back to the show while Samantha and Grey were fired. The lawsuit claims that both women were placed on “do not hire” lists. These are “well known among the cast. And was typically reserved for crew members who had been kicked off the show for inappropriate behavior.” Since reporting the incidents, the two have claimed they have been unemployable. And their production careers have come to an end. Samantha and Grey are represented by Bryan Freedman and Mark Geragos. The lawyers have filed a series of similar suits as part of the “Reality Reckoning.”

Below Deck Sailing Yacht is available to stream on Peacock.
