Karamo Brown & Jussie Smollett Are Dating — The Toast Reacts

At 53:24 · chapter starts 52:20

The second couple story hits harder: Queer Eye cast member Karamo Brown has confirmed he is in a serious relationship with Jussie Smollett — convicted of staging a hate crime and widely regarded as one of Hollywood's most discredited figures. In the interview clips the hosts read from, Karamo uses the language of deep romantic security ('I feel 100% safe, 100% secure, I can trust him with my heart') to describe a man Jackie flatly calls a 'known pathological liar.' Jackie's two-part reaction: first, the announcement retroactively destroys all the goodwill Karamo earned from his recent book and press tour criticizing toxicity in queer relationships. Second — and this is the hosts' genuine take — it might actually be good news for the world, because two people of this particular character dating each other means they're not involving innocent parties. The hosts genuinely wish them a long, happy life together. Claudia caps it with: 'There's a lid for every pot — even crazy lying pots.'
