Gary Appeared On An Episode Of Project Runway

Gary Used His Bravolebrity Status

After a difficult season of BDSY, Gary was excited to appear on an episode of Project Runway alongside several other Below Deck personalities including Daisy and Below Deck Down Under's Aesha Scott.

Gary & Daisy Dating Rumors Have Been Consistent

They Were Together In July 2024

Screenshots shared from Daisy and Gary's Instagram s on Reddit sparked dating rumors in July 2023 because they were staying at the same hotel. Reddit u/Radiant_Sign4112 shared photos of the pair that were clearly taken at the same hotel, and while some posited that it was simply due to their Below Deck Sailing Yacht filming schedule, others had a relationship in mind. With Daisy moving on from her relationship with Colin and investing in her long-time friendship with Gary, it's possible the pair got into more romantic territory and spent their downtime together at a luxury hotel.

From there, Daisy and Gary didn't make any waves to suggest that they had carried on a relationship. However, the rumor mill is back in July 2024, as Daisy recently made a post with many pictures together with a now-short-haired Gary. Daisy seemed unbothered and flirty with Gary in the pictures. Daisy did not confirm that she and Gary had anything romantic going on, but the pictures are a clear indication of her fondness for Gary despite his egregious reputation.

"Dude how are you pumping up Gary here after he was accused of sexual assault?" a commenter question on the Instagram post.

Gary Has Been Accused Of Sexual Misconduct

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Has Been Filmed

In August 2023, there were sexual misconduct allegations against Gary brought forth by Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 makeup artist Samantha Suarez. She claimed Gary was sexually inappropriate with her by grabbing her from behind and trying to block her from leaving his hotel room while she was on the job. Gary has denied the allegations saying that there are two sides to every story. No action was taken against Gary by the Bravo network, but he was removed from the celebrity list at BravoCon.

Although he was slammed for his behavior in Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 and for the sexual misconduct allegations, it seems like Gary was still a cast member and already filmed the show's fifth season throughout the summer months of 2023. While Gary has been busy, the rest of the cast has been equally busy and hasn't been able to share much about what they're up to, which has led many to believe that Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 has been filming and completed.

With Gary a huge part of the Below Deck world, it would be a shock to see him off the show for its charter season. However, Gary's controversial behavior and the claims against him have thrown the Below Deck Sailing Yacht's schedule into flux. The show was supposed to air after Below Deck season 11 ended in late May 2024. Instead, Below Deck Mediterranean season 9 aired despite Below Deck Med having just finished airing season 8 in early 2024.

The schedule change could mean that Gary was indeed part of the BDSY season 5 cast and that the Bravo network is scrambling to either edit him out or film a new season without him entirely before Below Deck Sailing Yacht premieres again. Either way, Gary is the seeming cause of the show's absence. However, Gary seems unrelenting in his desire to continue in the franchise and showcase his continued relations with Daisy.

Below Deck Mediterranean airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.
