Future of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Uncertain Amid Gary King’s Misconduct Allegations

Uncertain Future for Gary King and *Below Deck Sailing Yacht* Amid Misconduct Allegations

As of now, there has been no confirmed update regarding the upcoming season of *Below Deck Sailing Yacht*. However, Gary King has made headlines with a shocking allegation against his accuser. Throughout his tenure as Bosun on various yachts featured in the popular *Below Deck* spin-off, Gary has been known for his questionable behavior. Following accusations of sexual misconduct against him, Bravo decided to remove the cast of *Below Deck Sailing Yacht* from the BravoCon lineup, and the show’s future remains uncertain. These allegations, coupled with Gary’s past inappropriate actions, seem to have sullied the reputation of *Sailing Yacht*.

“I know it’s super sad, and it honestly hurt so much and affected my whole family, I’m just glad it’s in the past.”

Despite the serious nature of the allegations, Gary continues to act as if they are unfounded, maintaining that he will return for *Below Deck Sailing Yacht* Season 5. In response to a question posed by Instagram user @unicornmagic78 about whether there was an investigation, Gary replied, “Her and her boyfriend (now ex, I hear) weren’t invited back to any BD due to the problems they caused, so she wanted revenge and to try [to] make some money out of it.” He remains firm in his stance that the accusations are false.

Gary Might Not Return To Below Deck Sailing Yacht After Alleged Behavior

The outlook for Gary’s television career seems bleak in light of these serious sexual misconduct accusations, prompting Bravo to distance itself not only from *Below Deck Sailing Yacht* but from Gary as well. Continuing his response, Gary stated, “To me, I knew it never happened, but it affected my family and potentially ruined my career because of her lies 🙁 was honestly the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through.” He mentioned that although the experience was terrifying, he is now in a much better place.

Another user, @michae1ajane, commented in support of Gary, saying, “I never believed that horrible story, and it made me sick how quickly people jumped on it and were so unbelievably mean to/about you. Does this mean you’ll be back?” While many are curious about Gary’s return for Season 5, Bravo has remained silent. Gary sidestepped the return question, stating, “I know it’s super sad, and it honestly hurt so much and affected my whole family, I’m just glad it’s in the past, but haters will hate, and there will always be trolls.”

Gary reflects on his time with *Below Deck Sailing Yacht* as memorable, fun, and exciting for everyone involved. However, his abrasive demeanor often clashed with fellow crew members, leading to numerous conflicts. Beyond workplace tensions, Gary was also entangled in several toxic “boatmances” during his tenure, including a love triangle. His inability to rein in his behavior may have jeopardized any future prospects within the *Below Deck* franchise.

This isn’t the first time a *Below Deck* show has confronted allegations of sexual misconduct. As these issues accumulate, Bravo faces increasing pressure to manage its stars effectively and avoid significant legal entanglements. While Gary insists on his return for Season 5, it might be prudent for Bravo to sever ties with him. *Below Deck Sailing Yacht* has already missed its usual airing window this year, leaving its fate uncertain.
