'Fab Five' member Karamo Brown has spilled the tea on his relationship with fellow Queer Eye cast-member, Antoni Prowoski.

Speaking to , Brown revealed that he and Prowoski experienced "extreme conflict" while shooting the Netflix show's first season.

"My castmate from Queer Eye, Antoni, people didn’t know that we had an extreme amount of conflict. We did not talk to each other at all during season one, even though we were shooting together," Brown said.
"On camera, it was always about that person and about creating something successful, so that was genuine. Before we would go on camera, we would say to each other, ‘This is not about us. It’s about this person.’"

He continued: "But off camera, the minute that camera stopped rolling, ‘Girl, don’t come near me.’ And vice versa, he didn’t want me to come near him."

In the end, though, the pair realised that they'd been duped by a third party, who had been spreading rumours about the two of them. Thankfully, Brown and Prowoski were soon able to reconcile after an hour-long chat.

"We were like, why did we just go through all those months of b.s," Brown said.
