Karamo Brown Stuns Fans with Change in Appearance on Andy Cohen Show, Resembling Movie Character

Karamo Brown has left fans in shock with his changing appearance on Andy Cohen’s show Watch What Happens Live!

The TV presenter, 45, rose to fame on MTV’s The Real World: Philadelphia in the early noughties.

He appeared as a guest on Bravo’s WWHL last week alongside The Real Housewives of Potomac star Tia Glover. 

But fans were quick to comment on how Karamo looked a far cry from the star they were used to seeing on TV.

The fans speculated over Karamo’s cheeks looking larger and speculated he’d had possibly had fillers injected.

Some people even brutally compared the Queer Eye star to the character Jigsaw from the 2017 horror film. 

They wrote: ‘Karamos cheekbones r not single,’; ‘Karamo….your cheeks friend?’; ‘Good lord, the cheeks,’;

‘He ain’t single I see two ppl underneath them cheek bones,’; ‘That injector did him dirty. Lol,’;

‘Chile Karamo step Back from the fillers,’; ‘He’s such handsome man, I hope he stops with the fillers soon,’;

‘Looking like JIGSAW TO RASSSS,’; ‘He looking like jigsaw, dissolve some of the cheek fillers baby.’

Karamo is perhaps best known for his role as the ‘culture and lifestyle extraordinaire’ on Netflix’s Queer Eye reboot.

But nearly 15 years before that he became a streaming star and made history when he was cast as a member on The Real World: Philadelphia in 2004. 

Now two decades later, his hit series the Karamo Show has become hugely successful, attracting over 1 million subscribers on YouTube.

And although the Texas-native is known for giving his guests a hard time, he revealed he had his own ‘punked’ moment in 2006 when he was told he had a ten-year-old son.

It was a shock in more ways than one for the Queer Eye star – who came out as gay aged 15 – when he was subpoenaed for back child support totalling $230,000, over his son Jason.

In an excerpt from his memoir Karamo: My Story Of Embracing Purpose, Healing, And Hope on People, he revealed how he first learnt of his child.

Back when he was 15 years old, Karamo had a single sexual encounter with his school pal Stephanie Brooks, and the upshot was the arrival of young Jason.

As an adult, Karamo became the first out gay black man on American reality TV when he starred on The Real World: Philadelphia in 2004.

While living in Los Angeles two years after his stint on that show, he came home on one occasion to the sight of a letter in front of his door.

Having recently taken drugs, he was still ‘in a sort of stupor’ when he saw that ‘On the front page was: ‘Texas Attorney General’s Office’.

Karamo wrote in his book: ‘The second page read: ‘Subpoena for Back Child Support.’ I thought, Ashton Kutcher is inside my house. I’m getting punked!’

When he read further that Jason’s mother was Stephanie: ‘I literally spit out the juice I was drinking. Now I was fully freaking out.’

It turned out that the child support subpoena was the state’s doing and resulted from Stephanie’s welfare application, not from her suing Karamo.

Karamo travelled to Texas to meet Jason after getting a paternity test, and confided in People: ‘I was scared. 

‘I realised that I created this child who I had no idea about that’s living there, that I now messed him up.’

And yet, he recalled: ‘There’s something about the first moment of seeing your child. All the pieces of me that I felt were missing got sewn up the minute I saw his face. 

‘I looked at this little fourth-grade boy, and I thought, I can do this.’

Karamo got custody of Jason in 2007, and three years after that, he adopted Christian, Stephanie’s son by another man.
