Bobby Berk, the interior design expert who gained fame on Netflix’s Queer Eye, has once again made headlines with a cryptic social media post that hints at ongoing tension with his former co-stars. In a recent Threads post, Berk responded to a message encouraging users to “protect your peace and mute them,” by writing, “Oh I did honey. All but 1,” suggesting that he has muted all but one of his former Queer Eye crew members. The identity of the sole unmuted individual remains a mystery, adding fuel to the ongoing speculation about behind-the-scenes drama.
Berk’s departure from Queer Eye after eight successful seasons came as a shock to many fans. Although he initially kept the reasons for his exit private, it quickly became apparent that not all was harmonious within the Queer Eye family. The tension between Berk and his co-star Tan France came to light earlier this year when Berk admitted to unfollowing France on social media, citing a personal disagreement that had nothing to do with the show. Berk described the incident as a moment of anger, explaining that the two had a sibling-like relationship that occasionally led to conflicts.
Despite the public rift, there were signs that the relationship between Berk and France was on the mend. The pair shared a warm embrace after winning an Emmy together, and Berk expressed optimism about their future, stating that he could see them reconnecting in the future. However, Berk’s recent social media activity suggests that the wounds may not have fully healed, leaving fans wondering about the true state of their relationship.
As Berk moves on from Queer Eye, he has been replaced by interior designer Jeremiah Brent, but the lingering drama with his former co-stars continues to captivate audiences. The subtle hints and cryptic messages from Berk leave many questioning what really happened behind the scenes of one of television’s most beloved shows.
