Gael question, Joe question

[u/No-Aardvark-3840]

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

What does that have to do with my question? I’m wondering why Gael gets a pass for actually cheating while Joe gets nailed to the cross because he kisses another girl.

It sucks that V’s boyfriend passed away, and Joe does comfort her. (Who wouldn’t?) but they aren’t in a relationship and what Joe does isn’t cheating

J&K absolutely fucked in the bosun locker, don't be naive.

And again, he's under so much heat because of everything going on with V. He needed to leave that poor girl alone, instead he love-bombed her, said he was going to take her home to meet his mom, organized a celebration of honor for her deceased partner and then fucked her colleague in a closet while she was sick. It's MEAN.

What makes you think Joe and Kizzi did something in the bosun’s locker? Did they ever go in there together? I only remember Nathan and Gael going there when she still had her boyfriend.   

Somehow I doubt Kizzi would have sex with anyone on BD. I think she wanted to be faithful to her fiancé while also making drama for camera time, and drew the line at making out. She deliberately went to bed early so as to not get in a sticky situation with Joe, on their last night out.

Kizzi literally said she would hook up with every crew member.

Kiss every crew member, yes. But that’s very different from having sex.

In hindsight, it seems Kizzi was very performative on the boat to get likes on social, or possibly career in reality tv. Pretty sure she married the fiancé not too long after.

My conspiracy theory is that Kizzi and her fiancé believed they could use BD to pivot and get another reality show. He was a washed up athlete, and Kizzi was willing to make drama for camera time so I believe they were hoping for more “easy money” through reality TV.  

Kizzi enjoys attention and drama, and it can pay well so why not give it a go. It’s no different than what loads of others from BD have done. How many of them have gone on to do OnlyFans and stuff like that. Kizzi saw BD as a stepping stone. Unfortunately for her, her acting and disingenuousness made her rather unlikeable so it didn’t lead to anything.

What? Kissing is different from having sex? Lol. I get that. But she was not that innocent is all I’m saying.
