Jonathan Van Ness has finally broken his silence about the shocking revelation of his “anger issues” on the set of Netflix reality show Queer Eye.

“I think a lot of people were looking for a reason to hate me or looking for a reason to be like: ‘See, I always knew they were fake and this is the proof,'” he said on last Tuesday’s (25) episode of the podcast Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware.

“My family was very supportive of my husband and my team, but I didn’t even go on social media or look at my phone for three weeks,” added the 37-year-old host, who has been married to businessman Mark Peacock since 2020.

“I think people forget that no matter how famous you are, you are still a person. This article came out at an incredibly vulnerable time, both for my hair care company and for my entire career. It was very difficult.”

In an article published in March 2024 by Rolling Stone, Jonathan was accused of being “emotionally abusive” and having “anger issues.” “There’s a real sense of fear around him when [he] gets angry. It’s intense and scary,” said a source.

In response, Van Ness said the article was “extremely untrue” and supposedly written “in bad faith,” but admitted there could have been moments when he lashed out at people or “could have been better.”
