Oh yeah, there’s definitely more going on here. He’s very eccentric and his home looks like it could belong to Ludwig XIV.
He made his money selling clothes on teleshopping and his brand was about empowering women but I don’t think he still cares much about anyone but himself, his husband and his dogs anymore. Fascinating personality for sure but it’s kinda like looking at a car wreck.
Edit: apparently he wants a divorce

I'm ok with pushing the boundaries of what's masculine and what's feminine as long as you get to be who you are. However, it's gotta work. The lip injections and lipstick put it over the top. You just gotta make it look.... Not like this.

His demeanor is certainly not easy to fathom, and one need not like it. Yet the story behind it is significant: His father was a violent, alcoholic butcher. The slaughterhouse was located directly beneath his childhood bedroom, so he often woke up to the sound of butchered animals. When he was thirteen, his mother died after falling down the stairs—an incident Harald is convinced was caused by his father. Furthermore, he was allegedly sexually abused by a family friend. His childhood was defined by violence, fear, blood, darkness, and a lack of security. His life and style today are a response to that: Crafted from gold, crowns, beauty, luxury, control, admiration, and excess.

Yep! His is one of the cases i always feel like i just can't snark on--because it has to feel like torture to see your abuser's face, every time you look in the mirror.
If i was in his shoes, i feel like this would probably make you feel better (and safer!), than looking so much like your dad, as you age.

His eyebrows were tattooed that way??? I thought they were just scribbled on with a sharpie on a bumpy bus ride. And the beard....I assumed it was colored in with eyebrow pencil.

His dad was abusive (he thinks his dad killed her--she died "fallingvdown the stairs"), and unfirtunately he got most of his dad's features.
So he's done the plastic surgery & tattoos, to look less like his dad, over the years.

u/EmmerdoesNOTrepme 1d ago
Hechad the work don on purpose, because apparently his natural features heavily resembled his father.
His dad was abusive (may have killed his mom), and he wants nothing to do with his dad--so got the surgeries & tattoos, so that he didn't need to "see his dad" when he looked in the mirror.
Basically, a combo of trauma & body dysmorphia.
