After Bobby Berk revealed his exit from “Queer Eye,” speculation and rumors abounded the internet as to the reason why, with some assumptions that there had been a falling out with one of his fellow cast members. Shortly after his announcement, an unnamed inside source spoke to Us Weekly implying Berk left due to issues with the rest of the cast. “There were many challenges with scheduling [and] there was a loss of interest from Bobby filming the show,” the insider claimed. “The network and the cast thought it was time to bring in fresh blood. His heart was not in it and the rest of the cast started to resent him because of that.” However, a second unnamed source refuted this claim, saying Berk left the show of his own volition and on good terms with Netflix.

As for the fans, one Redditor noted that Berk did not tag Tan France, though he tagged the rest of the cast, in a January Instagram post promoting Season 8 (the post was later edited to include the account for France’s brand, Shaded, but not his official @tanfrance username). This led to further assumptions there had been a falling out between Berk and France.

Berk, however, addressed these rumors in his Vanity Fair interview. “I hope this interview will help extinguish some of the speculation,” he said. “I want people to know that Tan and I — we will be fine.” At the time of writing, Berk and France do not follow each other on Instagram. “Tan and I had a moment,” Berk continued. “There was a situation, and that’s between Tan and I, and it has nothing to do with the show.”
