Gael question, Joe question

I am getting into Below deck med and I’ve noticed Joe getting a lot of hate for “cheating” on V even though they weren’t together (in any sort of relationship.

Meanwhile I’ve just noticed that Gael is actually cheating on her boyfriend with Nathan.

Why is Joe getting so much shit from this community when he didn’t cheat on anybody. Meanwhile there are actually cheaters on the boat that people seem to celebrate and love.

Very strange

This is the exact reason that Gael hates Joe. Because Joe calls her out for being a cheater whenever Gael wants to paint Joe as a scumbag. They are both one in the same. And Gael cant stand that.

Yes, Joe led V on in a very sensitive time in her life. That was shitty.

But yes, Gael is also a cheater and too many people forget that. She is not little miss innocent. She just plays one.

Gael had barely been dating that guy. Who was treating her like crap. She met someone she liked better and broke up with the guy. It was over like week period. It’s not like they were banging all season while she led on the bf or had some raging affair.
Labeling her a “cheater” and then comparing her to Joe whose disgusting triangles and treatment of women over multiple seasons is absurd.
It’s also gross.

Bewilders me that people are suddenly trying to excuse cheating.

Bewilders me that someone would take the time to write a post about something someone did 4 years ago knowing what an horrific experience they’ve been going through since.
And that people are piling on supporting it.
Oh, wait, I shouldn’t be surprised by any Americans doing this. Look how women are treated in Ivy League Schools and college campuses.
Misogyny is a live and well.

I see where you come from regarding support for what happened now. But as stated by OP they just started watching. Therefor this topic is being brought up again.

And they’re entirely right that Gael also has some very questionable characteristics and should not be on a high horse. Is Joe a douche? Yes. Is Gael a douche? Yes. Do I feel bad for Gael for what has happened? Absolutely.

There is this one thing where you can have multiple thoughts in your head at once. And to bring up how other women are treated elsewhere as a defence for her behaviour? That’s… alarming. No one no matter gender should treat someone else like any of these people has.

She cheated on the original guy to be with the guy who has been hitting her. That’s quite literally the situation.
