Queer Eye<\/em><\/a>\u2019s Antoni Porowski<\/strong> is addressing viewers who are concerned that perceived \u201cbackstage drama\u201d is harming the show\u2019s wholesome \u201cvibe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Porowski, 41, shared a series of images from the Netflix show\u2019s 10th and final season, which premiered on Wednesday, January 21, via Instagram<\/a>, encouraging fans to tune in.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not about how or even that it ended \u2014 the journey of it all was the part I\u2019ll hold close to my heart,\u201d the celebrity chef captioned the post, which featured snaps of him and costars Karamo Brown<\/strong><\/a>, Tan France<\/strong><\/a>, Jonathan Van Ness<\/strong><\/a> and Jeremiah Brent<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Porowski continued, \u201cThank you to each and every one of you who watched, laughed, cried, screamed, binged, and related to the stories we were lucky enough to be a part of for almost a decade. Tenth and final season of @queereye is now on Netflix \ud83e\udef6\ud83c\udffc.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThings may keep getting better for the heroes on Netflix\u2019s Queer Eye, but things between the show\u2019s cast and crew have seemingly hit a rough patch. News of feuds between cast members and allegations of poor behavior began to emerge after the show\u2019s interior designer, Bobby Berk, announced that season 8 of the reality series [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

One follower commented that \u201cthe backstage drama kinda kills the vibe of the show. I\u2019m not motivated to watch you all portray to be a big happy family on every episode knowing it\u2019s all fake.\u201d<\/p>\n

The person added, \u201cIf you can\u2019t work out your own mess, how can you be in charge of fixing someone else\u2019s life?\u201d<\/p>\n

Porowski responded, \u201cA lot of us come from complicated families and still have jobs and positive things we\u2019re passionate about. Authenticity is about being honest about the complexities of life and knowing two things can exist at the same time \u2764\ufe0f.\u201d<\/p>\n

The chef\u2019s comment echoed remarks he made during a Tuesday, January 20, appearance on CBS Mornings<\/em> after it was revealed that Brown, 45, would not be joining his castmates for a joint interview.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tStassi Schroeder, Lauren Conrad and Nicole \u201cSnooki\u201d Polizzi are among the reality stars who left their shows in surprising fashion. Schroeder, for one, was fired from\u00a0Vanderpump Rules\u00a0after eight seasons alongside costar\/frenemy Kristen Doute. Bravo confirmed their departures in June 2020 after their past racially insensitive actions toward former castmate Faith Stowers resurfaced. \u201cIt is important [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In a statement read out by host Gayle King<\/strong>, Brown said, \u201cI hope everyone remembers the main theme I have tried to teach them over the past decade, which is to focus on and to protect their mental health\/peace from people or a world who seek to destroy it, which is why I can\u2019t be there today.\u201d<\/p>\n

King informed viewers that Brown\u2019s assistant had told her that Brown was \u201cworried about being bullied.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Porowski told King that he was \u201csurprised\u201d to hear about Brown\u2019s absence.<\/p>\n
