Daisy Kelliher and Gary King used to be close friends onBelow Deck Sailing Yacht, but I’m convinced Daisy is distancing herself from the troubled First Mate after a fraught season of the hit Bravo series.Gary was accused of sexual misconductduring filming forBelow Deck Sailing Yachtseason 4, where he allegedly tried to sexually assault former Bravo employee Samantha Suarez when she was asked to escort him back to his quarters. Gary denied all allegations, but Bravo reduced his role in season 5.
Gary’s appearance onBelow Deck Sailing Yachtseason 6could be in danger. Captain Glenn Shephard still believes in Gary, but he’s more of a liability.Gary tried to get soberbut later disrespected Captain Glenn’s two-drink limit when going out with charter guests. However, I think Daisy’s issues with Gary are more personal, given their history.
Daisy Hasn’t Posted About Gary In A While
She Used To Post About Him On Instagram
The last timeDaisyposted Gary on her Instagram was right afterBelow Deck Sailing Yachtaired when the crew rented a villa and unwound together away from the cameras. He’s featured in various group shots and an individual photo in whichGary is grabbing Daisy’s butt despite her dating Deckhand Keith Allen at the time. One commenter said, “I’m so sorry but you and Gary will end up married in 10 years,” followed by crying-laughing emojis, and, “that man has it out for you lmao.” Daisy responded with crying-laughing emojis, which doesn’t indicate her true feelings.
“After filming we rented a villa for a week…. We never did this after a season and was actually a pretty fun way to wrap it up with no cameras 🎥 here’s a snap shot of it. Let’s just say it involved ALOT of partying lol 🪩”
In the months since, Daisy has been posting about her solo adventures and other Bravo cast members, but there’s no Gary to be found. She used to feature him a lot, even in the off-season. I think she’s finally cutting him off.
Daisy Has Even Removed The Show From Her Instagram Bio
Is She Leaving Below Deck Sailing Yacht?
I also noticedDaisy removedBelow Deck Sailing Yachtfrom her Instagram bio, adding another speculation to the mix. Daisy might want to distance herself from Gary for various reasons, including the complicated boatmance between them and former Chief Engineer Colin Macrae, his constant philandering, and his desire to have Daisy the moment he can’t have her. However, Daisy ditching Gary could have more to do with her desire to leave the show than abandon their friendship.
Are Daisy & Gary Still Friends?
She’s Moving Forward
Daisy and Gary will always be connected, but I think Daisy is trying to distance herself from Gary. She told him she deserves better than someone who still has growing up to do. Daisy is ready to take her life seriously, but Gary is still trying to figure out how to make better life choices.

The romantic in me wants Daisy and Gary to live happily ever after, but the truth is, she deserves someone drama-free that she can depend on. Maybe that could be Gary someday, but he’s too far away from his potential, as shown onBelow Deck Sailing Yacht. Taking some space from Gary after the charter season is the only way for Daisy to find peace.
