OMG ‘Queer Eye’ Cast Came After Treasury Secretary Mnuchin’s Wife
During Queer Eye’s Jonathan Van Ness’s podcast show at Vulture Festival, the cast of the hit Netflix show came after Treasure Secretary Steve Mnuchin’s wife, Louise Linton.
You know who I really hate?” Jonathan asked the crowd on Sunday “Mnuchin, the Treasury Secretary who has this Scottish wife, who’s a nightmare and she has a head full of terrible extensions … She’s kind of like the republican Erika Jayne, but I like Erika Jayne. She’s got like the knock-off bad version of Erika Jayne’s hair.”
Louise had gone after someone on social media who posted a photo of her in designer gear getting on a private jet, writing: “Glad we could pay for your little getaway #deplorable.” Louis then wrote back that she and her hubby have given more to the economy per year than she’d be willing to sacrifice, adding the commenter was “adorably out of touch.”
“Did you guys see that story?” Jonathan asked the audience. “Should we all get on Instagram and say something weird to her right now? This is really a lesson in two wrongs do make a right and it also shows that hell hath no fury like a gay man who saw a news article that they did not like.”
And they did — including fellow cast members.
