‘Queer Eye’ star Jonathan Van Ness claps back at transphobic trolls

Jonathan Van Ness did not come to play, honey.

The “Queer Eye” star arrived on the red carpet for the Creative Arts Emmys on Sunday in a “lewk”  meant to “f—k a gender norm,” as he wrote on Instagram.

The grooming expert, 31, wore a Maison Margiela gown featuring a sheer bodice and beaded skirt with a thigh-hit slit, accessorizing with black platform boots, a sparkly clutch and slicked-back hair.

His date for the evening, Wilco Froneman, shared a photo from the event, under which one commenter wrote, “The guy in the dress looks like the villain in Despicable Me 3.”

Van Ness responded with the following: “I look f—king stunning and my name is Jonathan, snap chat filter using on your Insta tiny circle private profile having self.”

“Also I love all these transphobic comments in here,” the star added. “‘The guy in a dress’ is insulting and for anyone that doesn’t see the implications is blind. F—king rude people I’m too tired.”

Just don’t give Van Ness all the credit. According to the now-three-time Emmy winner, “The true hero of this picture is my publicist holding my tennis shoes to put on as soon as the last category was called ???”
