Queer Eye's Karamo Brown Steps Back: A Look at the Drama
The latest season of Queer Eye on Netflix showcases the Fab Five in Washington, D.C., assisting Justice Department staff with their looks and confidence. However, behind the scenes, drama has emerged.
Karamo Brown's Absence and Mental Health Focus
Karamo Brown, the culture expert, skipped two morning show appearances, leaving his castmates surprised. Gayle King mentioned his absence on CBS Mornings, reading a statement from Brown's assistant:
"I need to focus on my mental health and avoid bullying."
Antoni Porowski admitted they were more than surprised but acknowledged that even TV families face issues. Jeremiah Brent, the newest member, shared that he feels safe and supported by the group.
On Today, another statement from Brown's assistant claimed he felt mentally and emotionally abused for years. Brown sent a video message, emphasizing:
"I am prioritizing self-love and protection."
The cast supported him, with Tan France praising their collective achievements.
Rumors and Distancing
Rumors suggest that Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness, and Tan France were caught criticizing Brown's lifestyle choices on a hot mic. Brown's mother reportedly heard this and informed him. Since then, Brown has distanced himself from them but remains close with Jeremiah Brent.
Bobby Berk's Reaction
Former cast member Bobby Berk seems unfazed, promoting his new show on Instagram. The situation highlights the complexities of relationships, even in a seemingly perfect TV family.
