Karamo Brown Withdraws from Queer Eye Promo Over Mental Health

Karamo Brown, the culture expert from Netflix's Queer Eye, withdrew from promotional interviews for the show's final season on Tuesday, citing concerns over his mental health and fears of bullying. The decision came just an hour before the cast's scheduled appearance on CBS Mornings, leaving his co-stars Antoni Porowski, Tan France, Jonathan Van Ness and Jeremiah Brent to proceed without him during visits to both CBS Mornings and NBC's Today with Jenna & Sheinelle.

Brown's absence was announced live on CBS Mornings by anchor Gayle King, who read a statement from the 45-year-old expert. In it, Brown emphasized the core message he has shared over the show's decade-long run: "I hope everyone remembers the main theme I have tried to teach them over the past decade, which is to focus on and to protect their mental healthpeace from people or a world who seek to destroy it which is why I cant be there today." According to Brown's assistant, who communicated with both networks, the star has felt mentally and emotionally abused for years and was advised by his therapist to prioritize his well-being by skipping the appearances.
