Karamo Brown, known for his role on the popular series Queer Eye, recently addressed ongoing rumors about his appearance during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live on November 2, 2023. The 45-year-old television personality took the opportunity to clarify that he has never undergone cosmetic surgery, despite what some viewers have speculated.
During the episode, hosted by Andy Cohen, Brown expressed his frustration over the comments made about his looks. “I wish people would stop commenting on people’s photos. It’s ridiculous and tacky,” he stated while discussing the latest happenings on The Real Housewives of Potomac. He highlighted that he has been accused of having various procedures, including facelifts and nose jobs, asserting, “It’s all real.”
Brown added a hint of humor to his remarks, saying, “I wish I did. I want some. I ain’t gonna lie to y’all. The minute I get some work done, I’m gonna tell all y’all.” This candid admission was meant to reinforce his point about the importance of being honest about cosmetic enhancements.
While Brown maintained that he has not had any surgical procedures, he did admit to using photo editing tools to enhance his images on social media. “I do edit them because I like to smooth out my eyes, but I do think that we need to stop commenting on people’s photos, period,” he said.
Despite his appeals for kindness, social media reactions following the show were mixed. Many viewers took to the platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to express doubt about his claims. Comments ranged from skepticism about his denial of plastic surgery to jokes about his appearance. One user remarked, “Karamo mustn’t count dermal fillers as plastic surgery on WWHL. Otherwise, his face deserves a segment on the show,” while another quipped, “Yikes… Karamo stop messing with your face. His ‘smile’ is still tight AF.”
This interaction highlights the ongoing scrutiny public figures face regarding their appearances. The conversation surrounding cosmetic surgery is particularly relevant given the increased visibility of such topics in media and entertainment. Brown’s response reflects not only his personal experience but also a broader dialogue about societal perceptions of beauty.
The episode of Watch What Happens Live aired at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo, and new episodes are available for streaming on Peacock the following day. As the conversation continues, it remains to be seen how public perceptions of celebrity appearances will evolve in an era where social media significantly influences beauty standards.
