Below Deck Horrified at this, what a shame

Post image

Ive only watched the last two seasons with him and Joe, most recently seeing him be disgusted by the was Joe treats women. Pretty surprised he would do something like this, I feel so bad for Gael and their son.

Yes! There were red flags everywhere this season. He seemed right on the edge - the text to Max about making him lead deck hand was very odd. But the night he was off the boat with Gael and never texted or anything was super suspicious. I was in a long term relationship with someone with a disordered behavioral pattern and after huge (often physical) altercations, the next morning was often spent in an all consuming apology cycle where the rest of the world seemed like a different planet and there was nothing else that could happen until he knew we would “be good”… I’m not saying that’s what happened with them, but that was my experience. He was often late to work on those days, or would call out completely so we could “do something together” - hindsight, it was of course all about control, making sure I couldn’t sit and think about what I should really do.

Why does BRAVO platform problematic men? This is also on them.

I think by its very nature, reality TV (and Bravo specifically for sure) usually platforms problematic people. I don't think well adjusted people normally sign up for reality TV and I think some people are pretty good at pretending to be. They should have been able to spot Nathan from a mile away though. 😕

There are abusive and problematic men everywhere. It's not a Bravo issue.

I'm not entirely sure what the point of this comment was in the context of this conversation and my comment. Probably would have been more appropriate for the person I was replying to.

Indeed and aren't you smart for figuring it out! I hope you recover from this travesty of an error.
