KARAMO BROWN SPOTTED ON METRO NORTH AMID "QUEER EYE" TENSIONS

Karamo Brown was recently spotted traveling from Stamford to NYC, chatting on the phone and maintaining a positive demeanor. This follows his absence from the "Queer Eye" 's Season 10 press day, which piqued fans’ curiosity. TMZ later uncovered a hot-mic incident, where Karamo’s mother allegedly overheard Antoni Porowski, Tan France, and Jonathan van Ness speaking critically about Karamo’s lifestyle choices. This undoubtedly created tension among the cast and was likely the reason for Karamo's absense during press day.

This situation mirrors the previous conflict surrounding Bobby Berk’s departure in 2023, when at the time sources told Deuxmoi Tan was alleged to have played a key role in pushing Bobby out, and both Karamo and Jonathan stood firmly in Bobby’s corner. At that time, Bobby had acknowledged that some cast members were closer than others, noting in past remarks that he and Karamo had a particularly close relationship due to living near one another. When Bobby's exit was later announced publicly, those present reportedly did not view the news as surprising. Both Tan and Anonti allegedly threatened not to return for another season if Bobby remained on the show. In contrast, Jonathan and Karamo reportedly supported Bobby and pushed back against the move, expressing dissatisfaction with the direction of the situation. As tensions escalated, Berk’s representatives allegedly informed production that he was no longer interested in returning, citing exhaustion with the ongoing behind-the-scenes conflict.

Several staff members now believe the situation was part of an effort to clear the way for Jeremiah Brent, a close friend of Tan, to step into Bobby's role. Now, with the latest developments, it seems Karamo is the one in the hot seat, shifting the focus onto him within the "Queer Eye" family.
