Australian police have issued an arrest warrant for “Below Deck Mediterranean” star Nathan Gallagher after he missed a court appearance related to an alleged domestic violence incident.
New South Wales police shared a photo of Gallagher, 28, and asked the public for help locating him. He is known to frequent the Emington and Melrose Park areas but is “believed to be offshore,” authorities said in a news release, which notes he has outstanding warrants in Sydney. In a Facebook post, police warned the public not to approach him if spotted.
The reality star, from Burtonport, Ireland, works as a deckhand on the Bravo series. He was arrested on domestic violence charges in December, NBC Los Angeles reported.
Gallagher was granted conditional bail. He was due back in court Tuesday but never appeared, according to the station.
In a statement to Rolling Stone in August, Gallagher acknowledged he has “made mistakes,” but said he didn’t think “the public has heard the full story surrounding what happened.”
Police have not named the alleged victim, but Rolling Stone reported that Gallagher’s statement pointed to his former partner and “Below Deck” cast member Gael Cameron. He called the situation “extremely complicated.”
“I’m not claiming I was perfect. I wasn’t. I made mistakes and I will take responsibility for my own actions. But I will not accept being portrayed solely through one person’s account of a relationship when there is another side and evidence relating to it,” he told Rolling Stone.
Gallagher added his biggest concern was his son, whom he shares with Cameron.
“Below Deck Mediterranean” is airing its 11th season.
The current season wrapped production before the December incident, Bravo said.
“Bravo does not plan on working with Nathan in the future,” a spokesperson said in a statement.
Cameron did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.
