About this listen

In this wild and unforgettable episode of The Truth Hurts Show, Brian and Makan reunite with fashion icon Cosmo, the legendary Melrose stylist, designer, and larger-than-life queen behind LA’s most outrageous fashion comeback.


Cosmo takes us deep into his four-decade journey from building a cult-following boutique on Melrose to partying with Chyna the wrestler, surviving near-death addiction, and becoming a viral star thanks to Soft White Underbelly. From Studio 54 energy to tragic alleyways and finally to social media stardom and a Vegas residency, Cosmo doesn’t hold back.


Hear how Shaquille O’Neal, Erykah Badu, Jason Derulo, and a mystery wrestling queen helped keep her dream alive — and why Melrose will never die as long as Cosmo is breathing (and selling glitter jumpsuits).

This is fashion, fame, sobriety, and survival… Cosmo style.
