Overview

• Samantha Suarez, a makeup artist, alleges Gary King sexually assaulted her in a hotel room in July 2022 while filming 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 4.
• Suarez claims King restrained her, preventing her from leaving, and she feared she would be raped until a phone call interrupted the incident.
• Suarez and her then-boyfriend Grey Duddleston, a camera operator, were allegedly fired and placed on a 'do not hire' list after reporting King's misconduct.
• The lawsuit also accuses King of additional inappropriate behavior, including groping cast and crew members, which Duddleston reported but was met with retaliation.
• Bravo, NBCUniversal, and production company 51 Minds are accused of fostering a hostile work environment and failing to adequately address King's admitted actions.
