“It has a cartoon-like atmosphere. It's intense and scary.”

Sources claimed Van Ness, 36, engaged in shouting matches at least “once a week,” noting that they were “yellers.”

Other sources used words such as “monster”, “nightmare” and “humiliating” to describe Van Ness.

Rolling Stone named at least three people who felt Van Ness was mentally “abusive” and had “rage issues.”

One official claimed, “There is no accountability at all.''

Sources also told Rolling Stone that Van Ness's alleged behavior spilled over to other cast members.

“He didn't want to share the spotlight with anyone,” the source claimed. “There were times when we couldn't even film scenes with certain members of the Fab Five because things got so bad.”

Van Ness became a particularly high-profile star after the 2018 revamped “Queer Eye” returned to television.

In December 2019, they became the first non-women to appear on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine, and have since become trailblazers on transgender rights issues.

“What he wants to do in the world is good, but I think a lot of it is very hypocritical,” the source said.
