Jonathan Van Ness stepped into the spotlight in 2018 as a walking,
talking bundle of energy, optimism and fierceness on the Netflix
reboot of Queer Eye. But in his new memoir, Over the Top: A Raw
Journey to Self-Love, Van Ness writes about how life wasn't always
like that for him. He recounts growing up and dealing with
hardships such as childhood trauma, depression, drug use, sexual
compulsion, being diagnosed HIV-positive and more. Van Ness spoke
to Sam Sanders about why he decided to write about it all, how he's
dealt with troubling moments in his life and how Queer Eye has
changed things. This episode includes discussion of sensitive
topics and language that some listeners may find offensive.
