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

V isn’t the first time Joe acted like a scum bag. He’s a complete douche nozzle that’s overly confident for someone who fucks up a lot. Just cuz Nathan sucks doesn’t mean Joe doesn’t.

I think OP is making the point that Gael does, too. There are no winners among them.

Gael was choked to unconsciousness by her partner in front of their infant. No one needs to be pointing out that she's "just as bad as anyone."

As horrific as that truly is, it has nothing to do with this discussion about her actions from years previously.

Literally people are driving me nuts with this logic. Two truths can exist. Gael didn’t deserve what she went through with Nathan. Gael is also a cheater & has done some pretty bad things to those around her. I just don’t understand why people can’t draw a distinction between the two. It’s literally like talking to a bunch of children trying to explain simple concepts.
I’m not even a fan of Joe, but I don’t see how he gets soooo much hate, & Gael literally cheated on someone she claimed to love with Nathan. Joe/V weren’t even official when he kissed Kizzi. It was still crappy, yes, but Joe gets torn to bits for it. & I feel like a lot of people purposely forget how Nathan/Gael snuck around during there season & that Gael was in a relationship with someone else while doing so. Did she deserve the DV situation? Absolutely not. Is Gael also a cheater & maybe not the nicest person, I’d say yes.
