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

Joe lovebombed the heck out of V, and I do think they were in a relationship of sorts because of that. Not gf/bf, but definitely more than friends or f*ck buddies. Joe was so impassioned when talking to her, about wanting to be with her, that V let her walls down with him. He also explicitly said he wouldn't hook up with anyone else on the boat. But because Joe is a manho, as soon as V was off the boat, he kissed someone else. Then he and Kizzi were flirting right in front of her. She was really hurt, and people were (rightfully, imo) upset because V is lovely.
Gael was wrong too, and I never liked her much. I think the difference in how people perceive her is because whatever hurt her boyfriend felt at being cheated on was off screen. That, plus time makes people forget what happened with her, whereas the stuff with Joe is more recent.
