No matter how famous you are, like, you're still a person. Jonathan Van
Ness is breaking their silence on abusive workplace allegations. Three
months after a Rolling Stone expose alleged tension on the set of Queer eye
including that. Jonathan has quote rage issues and can be emotionally abusive
on set. The 37 year old appears on the June 27th episode of the Table Manners
podcast to address all the allegations. Our whole kind of like Queer Eye family
had like first learned about this article in December. So like I went
from like this bankruptcy to then like, oh, there's like someone who's like
gonna write like an investigative takedown, like expose piece about you
that like isn't really based in reality but can certainly have a lot of things
taken out of context to like make you look as bad as possible. So that could
drop any day the reality star who tied the knot with husband Mark Peacock in
2020 also notes the timing of the article which was published around the
same time. They sold their hair care line JV and hair. I think people forget
like you no matter how famous you are like, you're still a person and I'm not
someone who has like, I mean, I certainly am in like a more comfortable
place financially than I was like five years ago. But that article came at
like an incredibly vulnerable time, like for my hair care company for like
my whole career. It just was really rough. However, Jonathan admits the
article didn't make them take a look in word. And even though I do believe that
that article was like overwhelmingly untrue and done in bad faith, there
have obviously been times through your career, like through my career where
you're like stressed out or like, I might have been like elbow deep in
highlights and was like, no, I can't talk about that right now. Like, I mean,
I that there was times where I could have been better and though their first
instinct was to internalize the articles messaging Jonathan who will
return for Queer Eye Season nine alongside Antony Karamo to and newcomer
Jeremiah learned to take some time in processing their feelings. And I was
like, oh my God, is it true? Like, am I really this bad person? Like so and
then it forced me to just like, really learn how to slow down disengage and
then really love myself. And I think that that article made me realize how
much I'd been put in this position of being an expert or being perfect or,
and it made me learn because I mean, I'm someone who champions self
acceptance, but sometimes self acceptance looks like having to love
yourself through incredibly hard times.
