A timeline of the drama engulfing Queer Eye after Karamo Brown's no-show
"Queer Eye, the inspirational Netflix show buoyed by positive, make-a-change energy, has once again become steeped in darkness and drama. The tenth and final season of the life improvement reality series (which was rebooted in 2018; the original ran between 2003 and 2007 with different cast members) has arrived on Netflix. And with one final season comes one final, explosive dose of drama, something which has become an incongruent by-product of the show's existence in recent years."
"In an eye-wateringly awkward piece of television, CBS Mornings news anchor Gayle King read out a statement from Brown, in which he said he was protecting his "mental health and peace" by not appearing with his cast mates. An email from his assistant, also referenced by King, said he was "worried about being bullied" if he appeared, and that he had felt "mentally and emotionally abused for years"."
Queer Eye's tenth and final season premiered on Netflix amid prominent internal conflict. Karamo Brown declined to participate in televised promotional interviews, citing protection of his mental health and peace and an assistant's email saying he feared bullying and had felt mentally and emotionally abused for years. Brown's decision was reportedly made on therapist advice and disrupted a scheduled Fab Five appearance on 20 January. The series has faced prior upheaval, including Bobby Berk's November 2023 departure and a Rolling Stone exposé in 2024. These developments have shifted public attention from makeovers to cast controversy.
