    The Netflix reality TV star joins the upcoming final season of the series, several months after recurring member Jeremy Tardy quit due to alleged pay disparity between black and white cast.

    Jan 19, 2021
    AceShowbiz – “Queer Eye” star Karamo Brown has joined the cast of TV show “Dear White People” for the upcoming fourth season.
    The culture expert’s character in the programme – which follows several black college students at a predominantly white Ivy League institution – has yet to be revealed.
    But Karamo celebrated the news of his new gig in a post on Instagram, alongside which he wrote, “So excited to be part of the @dearwhitepeople cast for the upcoming season!”
    While Brown is most well known for being on “Queer Eye”, he is also a successful actor – having starred in TV shows such as “Steam Room Stories” and “Heads Will Roll”. He began his career back in 2004, when he made history by becoming the first openly gay black man cast on a reality show when he appeared on MTV’s “The Real World: Philadelphia”.

    The comedy drama series based on an acclaimed indie movie of the same title is going to bid farewell with the upcoming season.
    “I’m so grateful my little indie-that-could has made it to four seasons at Netflix,” creator Justin Simien said in a statement. “This show, along with the many talented storytellers it has brought into my orbit, has changed my life and I can’t wait to create a celebratory final volume befitting such a transformative experience.”
    Karamo Brown’s casting came several months after Jeremy Tardy announced his departure from the show. He accused Lionsgate bosses of racial discrimination due to pay disparity between black and white cast members ahead of the final season.
    “After being offered to return for several episodes my team was notified that our counter offer would not be considered and that the initial offer was the ‘best and final,’ ” he revealed. “This news was disturbing because one of my white colleagues – being a true ally – revealed that they too had received the same initial offer and had successfully negotiated a counter offer.”
    Lionsgate, however, denied the allegations, “This was a purely financial negotiation regarding deal terms. Lionsgate is committed to equal treatment for all talent regardless of race, gender, age or sexual orientation.”

      The Netflix reality television star is keen to be the first gay man to find love on the ABC dating show following his separation from Ian Jordan after ten years of relationship.
      Oct 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Queer Eye” star Karamo Brown has put his name forward for becoming the first gay Bachelor.
      The TV personality is a massive fan of “The Bachelor” franchise and, after splitting with fiance Ian Jordan after 10 years together, he tells Us Weekly he’d happily appear on the show.
      “Have they ever had a gay Bachelor?” asks the 39-year-old. “We can go for it. Let’s try it. I would… Why not? Let me tell you something: what I’ve learned right now – and I tweeted this the other day – is that dating is a mess.”

      Explaining his unfortunate experience of looking for love, Karamo insists that “sending inappropriate pics is not a way to ever engage with someone,” adding, “I don’t know why guys think that’s an appropriate thing to do. So, it’s like, please keep it respectful. You know what I mean?”
      “It’s been like out of order. It’s like, where are the gentlemen, you know what I mean,” he says. “I was out of the game for like 10 years and I didn’t know about apps and these things and I was like, oh my gosh, dating in 2020 or 2021 is a mess.”
      Another conversation starter that fails to land for the star is lyrics to Cardi B’s explicit hit “WAP”, with the star laughing, “I was like, ‘Why do you think this would be me? Like, me? You think I’m going to be like, ‘Oh, great. Cardi B lyrics. Yes, let’s date.’ ”
      Bringing it back to “The Bachelor”, Karamo muses, “So, if I could just get a whole bunch of great guys in one room and just to, like, go through, sign me up.”
