Karamo Brown Claims ‘Flirty’ Relationship With ‘Queer Eye’ Costar Resulted in Harassment Complaint
- Queer Eye culture expert Karamo Brown broke his silence, revealing reasons behind his January absence from press events for the Netflix series. Brown cited years of toxic dynamics, bullying, and feeling emotionally abused while filming.
- Tensions within the Fab Five escalated after a 2024 sexual harassment complaint against Brown, which he denies. Brown decided to speak out after his mother visited the set in 2025 and overheard castmates disparaging him.
- Brown revealed to People that he relapsed during the show's third season in 2018, struggling after 12 years of sobriety. Unaddressed workplace bullying worsened his mental health, leading him to pretend he was coping while privately struggling.
- Production companies ITV America and Scout Productions 'strongly disagree' with Brown's characterization of the set. They assert all issues brought to leadership were taken seriously and the series fostered a professional, supportive environment with training and coaching.
- Hoping to move forward, Brown expressed desire for reconciliation, stating, 'I think we all deserve a bit of grace for how we handled ourselves.' He intends to focus on his personal well-being and future chapters of his life.
