Ignore the reports: the Queer Eye cast still gets along, according to the newest member of the group.
After design expert Bobby Berk announced that he is leaving the successful Netflix show, Jeremiah Brent was announced as his replacement, and the quick change left many fans wondering if there’s bad blood in the Fab Five.
According to Brent, however, things are great within the group.
“I’ve got to tell you, there’s no drama with any of us. We’re all in a group chat. We’re having the time of our lives,” he told House Beautiful in a cover story. “Everybody’s heads and hearts are in the right spot. It’s really healthy right now, and I think we’re all really excited about this season.”
For months there have been reports of drama behind the scenes, with Berk surprise announcing that he was leaving the show back in November of last year. In the months following, rumors flew, as France and Berk unfollowed each other on Instagram.
However, when the show won an Emmy for Outstanding Structured Reality Program, all five of the reboot’s stars showed up and took pictures together.
There was also a report that France was campaigning to get Brent, who his is friend, to replace Berk. France has denied that report saying, “My former colleague [Berk] getting fired had nothing to do with me trying to get my friend [Brent] hired. Netflix and the production companies did a full-on casting. I didn’t put my friend up for the job. They ended up getting it because they were the best person for the job.”
