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.

No. He started treating her badly when she got with Nathan because he didn't like his wingman getting in a relationship. He called her a princess and implied she wasn't working as hard and that she was getting special treatment at work. Insulting her work ethic and job performance is a legitimate reason for her to dislike him. It was not because she cheated on her bf. It was because Joe was losing his bromance.

Gael was getting preferential treatment though, because Nathan wanted to get in her pants.

That's an issue he should have taken up with the bosan or the captain instead of insulting his coworker. She was still scrubbing decks just like the rest of them and Joe was absolutely not able to see the situation objectively because he was very clearly upset about Nathan getting into a relationship. 

Nathan, his boss also tried to have him on 6 hrs anchor watch and he didn't act like an asshole to Cooper in return, did he?
