Gary King REMOVED From ‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht’ After Sexual Misconduct Allegations 

‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht‘ star Gary King is breaking his silence with a blunt response to the sexual misconduct allegations against him and the noticeable editing changes in Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5.

As Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 sails into new waters, a cloud of controversy surrounds one of its longtime crew members, First Mate, Gary King.

The drama stems from sexual misconduct allegations made by a member of the production team during filming, leaving the future of the series — and Gary’s role on it — up in the air. Fans began speculating whether these accusations would lead to a significant edit in Season 5, considering that filming had already wrapped before the allegations surfaced. Now, with the season airing, it seems the network has made some noticeable decisions about Gary’s screen time.

Gary King Addresses His Season 5 Edit Following Allegations

The allegations against Gary were serious enough to warrant immediate attention from Bravo. The network promptly removed him from their 2023 BravoCon event and initiated discussions on how to handle the situation in the upcoming season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht. While no official statement has been made about how Bravo intends to proceed, Gary has wasted no time addressing what he believes to be a deliberate effort to reduce his presence on the show.

Taking to Instagram, Gary expressed his frustration over what he perceives as a “massive edit” in Season 5. “Sad to see this has all been edited out of tonight’s episode. Scary how one person’s lies can ruin someone’s career and livelihood,” Gary wrote, sharing his thoughts while choosing to post an image of himself dressed in a lacy black nightie from filming.

While Gary’s post didn’t directly address the allegations, his displeasure with how Bravo is handling the situation is clear. He implied that his reduced screen time is a result of the network’s decision to downplay his role amidst the controversy. However, Gary firmly maintains his innocence, adding, “Oh well, my head is held high as I know the truth. Karma will get ya, anyways.”

Is Gary Getting Edited Out of Below Deck Sailing Yacht?

Fans have noticed Gary’s diminished presence in the early episodes of Season 5, and it’s raising questions about his future on the show. While it’s possible that some of his scenes were cut due to the seriousness of the accusations, it’s also feasible that certain moments didn’t make the final cut for other reasons. With only a few episodes aired so far, the full extent of Gary’s role this season remains to be seen.

For now, Gary is sticking to his guns and promising fans that he’ll continue sharing what Bravo isn’t showing. “I will try to post as much as possible to show what y’all have been missing out on,” he teased in his Instagram post. Whether that means behind-the-scenes content or more commentary on his situation is unclear, but Gary seems determined to remain in the spotlight, at least on social media.

Trouble Brewing with Daisy Kelliher?

Another key question heading into the rest of the season is whether Gary’s professional relationship with Below Deck Sailing Yacht Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher will survive the turbulence. So far, the odds don’t look great. While the pair have worked together for multiple seasons, their on-screen dynamic has been a mix of playful flirtation and tense disagreements. If the allegations continue to affect Gary’s standing within the crew, it could have lasting repercussions on his working relationship with Daisy.

Only time will tell how these allegations will impact Gary’s future on Below Deck Sailing Yacht. For now, the drama continues to unfold both on and off the screen.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo.
