Stripped Down: Matt Cullen and Crush Daddy on Breaking Stigmas, Sobriety, and Reality TV That Goes Deeper
This week on Queerly's Stage and Screen, Harvey is joined by Matt Cullen and Crush Daddy to talk about Stripped Down - a new series launching on OUTflix March 3rd that follows six gay strippers in Wilton Manors, Florida as they navigate life on and off the stage. What started as a viral YouTube interview that hit nearly half a million views has transformed into a reality series that challenges everything you think you know about sex work, stripping, and the people behind the performances. Matt, creator of the acclaimed documentary series Our Queer Life, and Crush, a former Division I basketball player turned stripper and content creator who's been sober for nearly a decade, open up about trust, authenticity, and why the LGBTQ+ community became home. We talk about breaking down stigmas around sex work, the power of honest storytelling, why Wilton Manors was the perfect location for this series, and what it takes to be vulnerable on camera. Crush shares his sobriety journey and why he feels it's his duty to be open about addiction. Matt explains how he's carving out new space in LGBTQ+ reality TV - going deeper than the drama while keeping it real. This conversation is thoughtful, funny, and refreshingly honest. If you're tired of reality TV that's either sanitised or purely focused on drama, this one's for you.
