"It's very intense. I know when we made the show, the first year, when it took off. We're supposed to make 12 episodes or something. We wound up making 50 episodes the first year. We worked every single day except Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is really tense. You are living in, like, a motor home together and getting ready on location. And everybody, you know, you get a little edgy."
"We are very, very friendly. I think if there was any drama during our season, we would have, [been] like, 'Girl!', and we would have addressed it there in the makeup chair."
Carson Kressley appeared on TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle to discuss his role as a guest judge on RuPaul's Drag Race and his new homeware line for Ballard's. During the interview, he reflected on the original Queer Eye for the Straight Guy from 2003 and commented on recent tensions within the current Queer Eye cast. The show's tenth and final season on Netflix was overshadowed by friction among cast members, with Karamo Brown withdrawing from TV appearances to protect his mental health. Kressley acknowledged the intensity of production, noting that the original show's demanding schedule—working nearly every day except holidays—created stress among the cast. He emphasized that his original co-hosts remained close and addressed conflicts directly, maintaining their friendship through an ongoing group chat.
