Jonathan Van Ness<\/a>\u00a0has been accused of being “emotionally abusive” and having “rage issues” on the set of <\/span>Queer Eye<\/em><\/a>, which allegedly played an integral role in the Fab Five’s rift.<\/span><\/p>\n In an expos\u00e9 published Tuesday by <\/span>Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a>, a number of production sources claimed that making the show was difficult due, in part, to the popular hairstylist’s behind-the-scenes behavior. Van Ness, who uses they\/he\/she pronouns, was described by production sources as someone “terrible to work with.” These same production sources also described JVN as a “monster,” “nightmare” and “demeaning.”<\/span><\/p>\n ET reached out to Netflix, but the streaming giant had no comment. ET has also reached out to a rep for Van Ness and the rest of the cast — designer Bobby Berk, fashion expert Tan France, culture and lifestyle coach Karamo Brown, and food and wine guru Antoni Porowski —\u00a0for comment.<\/span><\/p>\n The accusations also include JVN allegedly lashing out to crew members and exploding on the crew “at least once a week,” and that the vibe on the set largely depended on JVN’s mood. What’s more, production sources told\u00a0<\/span>Rolling Stone<\/span><\/em> that JVN’s public persona — warm and charismatic — was “largely a charade.”<\/span><\/p>\n Things got so intense, those same sources told the magazine, that JVN’s alleged behavior contributed to the group’s rift — which allegedly resulted in certain members of the group being reluctant to shoot scenes with JVN, who is accused of not wanting “to ever share the spotlight with anyone.”<\/span><\/p>\n What’s more,\u00a0<\/span>Rolling Stone<\/span><\/em> reports that JVN’s alleged troubling behavior led to Netflix executives having at least one meeting with the beauty maven over their behavior and treatment of the crew.<\/span><\/p>\n The expos\u00e9 comes <\/span>exactly one week<\/a> after Netflix announced that\u00a0<\/span>Jeremiah Brent<\/a>\u00a0would replace Berk on <\/span>Queer Eye<\/span><\/em>. Brent will join Van Ness, France, Brown and Porowski for season 9 when the show visits Las Vegas.<\/span><\/p>\n
