Bobby Berk Addresses His Alleged Feud With 'Queer Eye' Co-Star Tan France

Bobby Berk is ready to address rumors that there’s been a rift between him and fashion designer Tan France, his “Queer Eye” co-star.

In a Vanity Fair interview published online Thursday, the interior designer said that he wanted to “extinguish” speculation surrounding their alleged feud, though he conceded that he had at one point hit a rough patch with France.

“I want people to know that Tan and I—we will be fine,” he said.

“Tan and I had a moment,” he later added. “There was a situation, and that’s between Tan and I, and it has nothing to do with the show. It was something personal that had been brewing—and nothing romantic, just to clarify that.”

Some fans of the Netflix reality makeover series had suggested in November that things between the “Fab Five” co-stars — Berk, France, Karamo Brown, Antoni Porowski and Jonathan Van Ness — weren’t so fabulous. Berk appeared to unfollow France on Instagram that month.

People also assumed that the pair’s apparent clash had something to do with Berk announcing on social media the week prior that he would be departing the show after its eighth season.

But Berk explained to Vanity Fair that his relationship with France had nothing to do with his exit from the series. He said that the cast’s contract had expired in September 2022, and that he had already moved on when Netflix presented a new contract.

“We thought we were done,” he said. “Mentally and emotionally, I thought we all moved on. I know I did, and I started planning other things.”

“Queer Eye” has since been renewed for Season 9. Berk told Vanity Fair that his co-stars are slated to return.

The interior designer acknowledged that unfollowing France on Instagram wasn’t the best move, but that he was “angry” at the time
