Below Deck star Gary King has spoken out against the sexual misconduct claims made against him by a crew member.
Samantha Suarez worked behind the scenes while the cast were filming for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season four and has claimed Gary forced himself upon her while he was drunk.
While speaking to Rolling Stone about the alleged misconduct, Suarez said that there was “no limit” to alcohol for the Below Deck cast while on set.

The allegations have recently come to light against the Bravo reality star and Us Weekly reported that Gary took to “social media” to make comments that have since been deleted.
Gary said “It’s so weird, it’s also far from the truth. She always wanted a platform and unfortunately I’m the unlucky target.

“I’m not going to let some lying girl get to me… read the article fully, multiple times, and this happened to her on multiple seasons…seems odd.”
Us Weekly reported that Gary “liked several supportive social media messages” and “slammed allegations from unnamed crew members” who had reportedly “accused him of repeatedly making other women uncomfortable on set”.
Bravo also issued a statement regarding the recent allegations and urged fans that they are “committed to maintaining a safe and respectful workplace” for their cast and crew “on all their reality shows”.

The statement continued: “We require our third-party production companies to have appropriate workplace policies and training in place and a clear process on how to report concerns.
“The concerns Ms. Suarez raised in July 2022 were investigated at that time and action was taken based on the findings.”
A spokesperson for Below Deck’s production company 51 Minds Entertainment also spoke out against the incident.
