'Queer Eye' Star Jonathan Van Ness Says Fame Made Him 'Depressed And Isolated'
The reality star stylist got real about his struggles during an interview
with the British outlet The Times ... telling the paper a
fan ran up to him on the New York City subway shortly after the show first came
out -- which he says was awesome and also overwhelming.
Jonathan Van Ness says he feels he lost the ability to be sad or disheveled
in public because people were always looking at him ... and would run rampant
with rumors if he didn't look immaculate.
He adds, "It got to the point where if I couldn’t be the Jonathan van
Ness that I knew people wanted, I just wouldn’t go out. Ultimately it made
me depressed and isolated. I don’t think anyone can live up to an edit of
themselves on a reality TV show."
Jonathan Van Ness appeared on all nine seasons of the hit reboot ... dolling
out advice as the show's grooming expert.
In early 2024, rumors about Jonathan's behavior on set began to swirl ...
with anonymous
production sources telling Rolling Stone the guy was a
"monster," "nightmare" and "demeaning." However,
we spoke to several dudes who went on "Queer Eye" to get styled --
and, they all gave van Ness glowing reviews.
Bottom line ... Jonathan hasn't always been able to deal with
his high profile in a healthy way -- but, he's certainly doing his best not to
repeat old habits.
