Jonathan Van Ness is shedding more light on what led to the emotional conversation he had with Dax Shepard on a recent episode of the 'Armchair Expert' podcast.
While appearing on 'Armchair Expert' in September, Van Ness was brought to tears as he passionately defended the rights of transgender kids and broader issues impacting the LGBTQ+ community. Shepard and Van Ness clashed over whether The New York Times can be considered a left-leaning newspaper while also publishing some articles and op-eds that have been interpreted as anti-trans.
'I'm grateful that he had the courage to release that episode and I do think that he brought a conversation into more people's homes than would have been having that conversation would he not ,' the Queer Eye personality said on Tuesday.According to Van Ness, he 'was not given' an explanation about what would make the final cut despite requesting a transcript of the recording.
