Despite Bobby Berk no longer being involved in the new season of Queer Eye after quitting the show, it seems he’s still has a bone to pick with Netflix.
Netflix announced the new Queer Eye icons you can pick for your profile to celebrate the new season of the show, which now includes an icon of newcomer Jeremiah Brent.
However, Bobby didn’t make the cut and has now been “erased” from the lineup of Queer Eye cast members who have icons, despite him still being in previous seasons of the show.
Former Queer Eye cast member Bobby Berk slammed the decision, telling Netflix in a defiant comment: “Wow… Y’all really went and erased my icon instead of just adding Jeremiah? Damn. I’m done.”
It appears the comment has since been deleted however I can confirm his icon is no longer available to choose from Netflix UK and appears to have been deleted.
It seems his anger comes from the fact that despite Bobby not appearing in the newest season of the show, he’s still in the previous season which is still on Netflix. Netflix do often keep icons of characters, even if they have left the show.
For example, the icon of Simon from Bridgerton is still available to pick from despite Regé-Jean Page not appearing in the most recent season at all.
This isn’t the first time Bobby Berk has publicly shaded both Queer Eye and Netflix as just after his exit he had a huge feud with his co-star Tan France.
Bobby later told Vanity Fair about what happened between them, explaining: “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.
“I will always have a very special place in my heart for him and Rob 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.”
