Below Deck Med Recap: Joe Hides Him Cheating on Victoria With Kizzi

Below Deck Mediterranean cameras captured a shocking moment when Joe Bradley shoved a production camera out of the way to secretly kiss Kizzi Kitchener — despite dating Victoria SanJuan.

During the Monday, December 15, episode of the hit Bravo series, Captain Sandy Yawn urged Victoria to take a break ahead of the one-year anniversary of her ex-boyfriend’s death. Victoria left the Bravado for the next charter while the crew — including Joe and Kizzi — enjoyed a night out together.

The group returned to the boat where Joe and Kizzi continued to spend time together. Before going to bed, Joe and Kizzi shared a moment that was just out of sight of the cameras. They were heard kissing before Joe said he would push the camera — and he shoved it far enough that a cameraman was seen running up to check what was going on.

When Joe and Kizzi woke up the next morning, he seemed not to remember what happened. Kizzi, however, confirmed they kissed despite his ongoing relationship with Victoria. Neither Joe nor Kizzi clued Victoria in on what happened as she texted both of them while still off the boat.

Joe and Victoria formed a connection when he joined halfway through season 10 as she was still mourning the death of her ex-boyfriend Bon. Below Deck Med viewers are familiar with Joe’s past love triangle with Bri Muller and Elena Dubaich.

“My message is I’m single and if you want to have a bit of fun and give me the same energy that it just gets a bit chaotic,” Joe exclusively told Us Weekly in November about returning to the franchise. “But I’m your friend at the end of the day, so I’ve still got contact with Elena and I am still in contact with Bri.”

He continued: “We’re friends and we’re young and we’re in a closed environment. It’s going to happen. But I’ve got contact with everyone and I’ve got no malicious intentions.”

Joe joked he learned “absolutely nothing” from his drama with Bri and Elena, adding, “To answer that question without a smile on my face, [my love life this season] was just chaos.”

Before Joe’s infidelity played out on screen, Victoria also broke her silence on where they stand now.

“Joe and I will always be cordial and will always be professional. But I don’t really consider him part of my friend group,” she told Us earlier this month. “The men I keep in my friend group, I admire them because they’re more honest, have self control, hold themselves accountable and have respect — those kinds of qualities.”

Victoria hinted at what caused their falling out, adding, “So I wish him all the best. I think he is a lovely human but I think he has got a lot to learn from his mistakes — if he’s willing to learn from them.”

Below Deck Med airs on Bravo Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.
