Following his arrest, Joseph Gatt took to Twitter on April 13 to clear the air in a personal statement. He called the allegations against him “absolutely horrifying and completely untrue.” He continued, “They are 100% categorically wrong and reckless. I have confirmed errors and misleading information in today’s press release.” Gatt added that he’s fully cooperating with the police and is “looking forward to clearing my good name.” He closed out his statement by thanking his supporters who know the claims made against him are untrue, and wrote that he could not speak further on the issue.
Interestingly enough, Gatt isn’t the only actor to have been arrested following his appearance on “Game of Thrones.” Sean Bean, who played Ned Stark in Season 1, was arrested shortly after his character was killed off in 2012 for allegedly sending harassing calls and texts to ex-wife Georgina Sutcliffe, per Mirror. Then in May 2021, Elyes Gabel, who starred as Rakharo in Seasons 1 and 2, was arrested on two counts of assault for allegedly choking his girlfriend, according to E! News.
