DBNR’s founder, Wesley Hamilton, did the unthinkable during the filming of his Queer Eye episode when he met his shooter. It’s not easy to face the man who changed your life forever. But that’s exactly what Wesley did. Karamo Brown mediated the reconciliation, and Wesley developed a new level of freedom by facing his past. It was a tense, but ultimately liberating experience for him. Here’s the behind-the-scenes look from Wesley.
