"Queer Eye" star Karamo Brown skips "CBS Mornings" cast interview "to focus on and to protect" his mental health
Karamo Brown missed live interviews promoting Queer Eye's final season, citing long-term emotional abuse and bullying fears while prioritizing mental health, his assistant said.
- On Jan 20, 2026, Karamo Brown abruptly pulled out of a CBS Mornings live interview less than an hour before air, with his assistant saying he was worried about bullying and advised by a therapist to protect his peace.
- During the cast's press tour for the final season, Karamo Brown's absence followed last week’s unfollowing of Antoni Porowski, Tan France and Jonathan van Ness amid backstage tension after Bobby Berk's 2023 exit.
- Jonathan van Ness praised Karamo Brown, saying, 'He has taught people to center what they need and I'm actually really proud of him. Do the things you need to take care of you. I'd be lying if I didn't feel like that sometimes.'
- The interruption left the cast scrambling and shifted media attention as Karamo Brown's last-minute absence disrupted the press tour, his video thanked fans but omitted co-stars, and Netflix did not respond.
- With the season launching January 21, Queer Eye Season 10 arrives amid publicity disruption, adding to the broader public conversation about mental health and cast dynamics as Tan France said, `It has really given me hope for what this country has been and can be again.
