Karamo Brown says he was 'forcing connections' amid Queer Eye fall-out
""I don't want nobody in my life that does not see the value in me. If you don't love me the same way I love myself, which is key, because I love me, so you gotta bring equal to what I got bringing over here. You can't come in here and not bring what I'm already bringing to the table. You better come with that or elevate.""
""Once you start to realise the love I have for myself is not being mirrored back for me, the healthier your life will be. I get it, you want the connections. You feel like, 'I don't want to be alone.' But there's a difference between being alone and lonely. You hear me? You might be alone but you ain't lonely. And if you're feeling lonely, just hi""
Karamo Brown withdrew from several promotional interviews, citing years of mental and emotional abuse. He posted on Instagram about making a meal and reflected that growing up without the love of his homophobic father left him with abandonment issues. Those issues caused him to force connections with others, showing up and giving without reciprocation and feeling depleted. He described recognizing those signs as a signal to end such relationships. He emphasized loving oneself, demanding partners mirror that love, refusing unequal dynamics, and distinguishing between being alone and being lonely.
