Wait, did Bobby Berk just throw some shade to his former Queer Eye crew?
The Queer Eye alum isn't afraid to throw a little shade, according to his latest Threads post!
Bobby Berk isn't afraid to toss a little shade on social media!
The former Queer Eye star and interior design expert made headlines last November when he announced he was leaving the popular Netflix show after eight seasons.
While Berk initially didn't go into details as to why he was leaving, it quickly became clear that there was some drama going on behind the scenes within the Queer Eye team. Now, Berk has stirred up that drama again in a new Threads post.

Berk was replying to a Threads post from the official Instagram page that said "protect your peace and mute them," when he stirred the pot, writing, "Oh I did honey. All but 1," implying that he has all of the Queer Eye crew muted except for one of them. He did not specify which one.
When Berk announced his departure from the show, he thanked all of the show's fans and everyone who participated on it.
"It's with a heavy heart that I announce that season 8 will be my final season on Queer Eye. It's not been an easy decision to be at peace with, but a necessary one. Although my journey with Queer Eye is over, my journey with you is not. You will be seeing more of me very soon," he closed out. "I love you all so so much and I’ll meet you all in NOLA for one final season."
However, a few months later, in January of 2024, he spilled some new tea about drama that happened between him and co-star Tan France, whom he had unfollowed on social media.
"Tan and I had a moment," Berk told Vanity Fair at the time. "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."
"Should I have unfollowed Tan? No, maybe I should have just muted him. But that day, I was angry, and that’s the end of it. We became like siblings, and siblings are always going to fight," he added.
Now, it seems like he has muted him.
Interestingly, the two seemed like they were on the path to making up after they won an Emmy at the 75th Emmy Awards.
"We both embraced each other, and we both said congratulations. And that’s where we are right now," Berk said at the time. "I will always have a very special place in my heart for him, and Rob [France's husband], and the kids. I can foresee in six months or a year, Tan and I at each other's house being good. The Emmys was already the first bandage on that wound."
It seems like the wound might've reopened some time since then.
Berk has since been replaced on the Queer Eye team by interior designer Jeremiah Brent.
