Former Queer Eye star Bobby Berk accuses Netflix of erasing him

Former Queer Eye star Bobby Berk recently shared his feelings about streaming giant Netflix removing his user icon from the platform, accusing them of trying to “erase” him. This came after the ninth season of Queer Eye premiered, introducing Jeremiah Brent as the new design expert to the team.

Berk had announced his departure from the show with a heavy heart, but the situation was complicated by claims that he was fired, and not leaving voluntarily as he had initially stated. Since Brent has joined the team, replacing Berk, tensions seem to be running high.

In response to Netflix removing his user icon from the platform, Berk commented on an Instagram post from Queer Eye, expressing his disappointment. The post announced new profile icons for the new season, and Berk felt that his icon had been replaced without adding Brent’s. This led Berk to feel like he was being erased, and he shared his frustrations publicly.

The situation was further complicated by Berk unfollowing his former co-host Tan France on social media, after a personal disagreement between them. Berk clarified that the disagreement was not romantic, but more like a clash between siblings. Despite the disagreements, Berk expressed that he should have handled the situation differently, perhaps by muting France instead of unfollowing him.

As the new season of Queer Eye continues to unfold, it’s clear that tensions behind the scenes are affecting the dynamics of the show. Berk’s comments shed light on the complexities of working in the entertainment industry and the personal relationships that develop between co-stars. The ongoing drama between Berk and France adds an extra layer of intrigue to the popular makeover series, highlighting that even the most beloved TV personalities can face challenges both on and off the screen.
