Why Josh Harris Was Fired From ‘Deadliest Catch’

– April 26, 2023 The Deadliest Catch is back for Season 19.

Deadliest Catch Season 19 returns for Season 19

On Thursday, EW announced Deadliest Catch season 19.

The Discovery series returns with some “fresh new faces” as well as some fan favorites.

Returning is captain Sig Hansen.

Along with their daughter, Captain Mandy Hansen, the two are back on the F/V Northwestern “against a new threat.”

Andy Hillstrand is back on the F/V Time Bandit.

Johnathan, Neal and Andy have not appeared in the Discovery series together since 2016.

He is determined to become the first African-American captain in the Bering Sea.

Why was Josh Harris fired from the deadliest catch?

Deadliest Catch fans gearing up for the April 18 season 19 premiere may be surprised to find that the F/V Cornelia Marie will not be returning.

Why isn’t Josh back in the Discovery series?

There is one shocking piece of information that fans of the show may have missed last fall.

It turns out Josh Harris was keeping a secret.

Also, no one seemed to know about it until it was listed on social media in August 2022.

In August, a now-deleted Reddit post revealed that Josh Harris had been arrested and convicted in 1998 of sexually assaulting a 4-year-old girl.

Harris would have been between 15-16 years old at the time of this incident.

According to Cinema Blend, which was first reported by Factz, Harris reports that Harris “digitally, vaginally and orally raped a 4-year-old girl on 7/14/1998.” DNA evidence was recovered at the scene which included blood and semen.

Therefore, Josh Harris was formally arrested in 1999.

The preschool girl was a neighbor and the daughter of a deckhand.

In the affidavit, the very young girl told investigators that Josh let her call their genitals “pee-pee.” Afterwards, it has not been clear whether Harris was required to register as a sex offender.

Many fans of the series know that Harris is now the father of a young girl, which may feel uncomfortable for many.
