Tan France from Queer Eye has denied circulating rumors of his involvement in the firing of Bobby Berk. This is in response to “Rolling Stone’s” explosive report on the latter’s departure from the show. The report claimed that there was a set feud between Berk and France who campaigned to have him replaced with a friend, Jeremiah Brent. Fans noted that the pair was not following each other on Instagram, which increased speculation. However, France addressed the rumors on his Instagram reel, saying that his former colleague’s firing has nothing to do with him trying to get his friend hired. He further explained that his friend got the job because he was the best person for it.
Berk also confirmed that he and France are fine after rumors of their falling out. However, he claimed that the feud stemmed from something personal that was brewing between them, and not anything associated with the show. Meanwhile, “Rolling Stone’s” report also suggests rage issues with hairstylist Jonathan Van Ness, one of the other members of Fab Five. The report claims that Van Ness has been an ill-tempered monster on set, saying things like “I am the star of the show.” Production sources described him as a “nightmare” and “demeaning.”
Van Ness’s demanding attitude is said to have caused a breakdown in relationships with the other members of the Fab Five. Tensions between hosts, particularly Berk, Van Ness, and France, are believed to have led to Bobby’s departure from the show. US Weekly’s report also suggested that the designer was unable to vibe with the other co-hosts on the show. However, another source gave a counter-narrative, stating that Bobby’s decision to leave was amicable.
In conclusion, Tan France has denied any involvement in the firing of Bobby Berk. Although there are rumors of host feuds on Queer Eye, the exact details remain a mystery. The show, which has helped transform lives through its uplifting content, is currently streaming its sixth season on Netflix
