‘Below Deck Sailing Yacht,’ Bravo’s glossy Mediterranean travelogue, is being buffeted by a serious legal squall after five seasons.⁠ ⁠ [Content warning: Sexual misconduct] NBCU and Endemol, the series’ production company, face a lawsuit over the alleged misbehavior of star Gary King. A complaint filed in February by makeup artist Samantha Suarez paints King as a serial harasser and drunkard who once trapped her in a hotel room and attempted to assault her. Joining her is Grey Duddleston, a camera operator and Suarez’s former boyfriend, who claims he witnessed King’s conduct toward other women firsthand.⁠ ⁠ “Producers allegedly tried to fire Gary—only to be overruled by NBCU executives who, according to the complaint, didn’t want to ‘sacrifice [their] cash cow for the sake of two crew members,’” Puck’s Eriq Gardner writes.⁠ ⁠ Eriq has the latest updates on the lawsuit, at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ Photo courtesy of Bravo⁠ ⁠ #Bravo #BelowDeck #GaryKing #Mediterranean #Yacht
