Meredith Woerner Deputy Editor, Variety.com Tan France — co-host and fashion expert on the Netflix “Queer Eye” series — has addressed the recent allegations that he pushed for the hiring of his friend Jeremiah Brent to replace former cast member and interior design expert Bobby Berk. In a recent Rolling Stone article, sources claimed that France (with alleged support from co-host Antoni Porowski) “campaigned” for Berk to be replaced with new hire Jeremiah Brent. Brent is set to join the cast for Season 9.
“Yes, I’ve heard what’s going on, and I just want to address one point real quick,” France said in Instagram video post on Mar. 8. “My former colleague getting fired had nothing to do with me trying to get my friend hired.” France continued: “Netflix and the production companies did a full-on casting.
I didn’t prop my friend up for the job. They ended up getting it because they were the best person for the job. Am I so happy that they have the job? Uh huh! I really am, I think they’re going to be incredible on the show.
But I didn’t get them hired by getting rid of somebody else.” France then expressed concern about where the recent conversation surrounding the previous seasons of “Queer Eye” initially began. “This all started because of a comment on a gossip blog. That just got reposted and reposted and then it’s almost became gospel.
So, from the horse’s mouth, I’m telling you, that that’s not at all how it all went down. You need to dig deeper, if you still don’t believe me, so be it, but that’s it.” (It’s unclear what comment and which blog France was referring to.)A post shared by T A N . F R A N C E (@tanfrance) Berk announced he was leaving the series in 2023.

Netflix’s Queer Eye, with some producers describing Jonathan Van Ness as having “rage issues”.The eighth season of the makeover show arrived at the start of the year and marks interior designer Bobby Berk’s last season as part of the ‘Fab Five’, alongside Tan France, Antoni Porowski, Van Ness and Karamo Brown.Back in November, Berk confirmed that the upcoming season of Queer Eye would be his last, describing his decision to leave the show as a “necessary one”.And now, per a report in Rolling Stone, a number of the show’s production members and other sources have said that “petty disputes” and professional competitiveness had started to fracture the relationships between the five hosts.Furthermore, the report cites multiple sources describing hairstylist Van Ness’ behind-the-scenes behaviour as emotionally “abusive”, involving “rage issues”.Four production sources and three other of Van Ness’ colleagues were also quoted as using the words “monster”, “nightmare” and “demeaning” to describe the host, pointing to their tendency to lash out at crew members.“[There’s] a real emotion of fear around them when they get angry. It’s almost like a cartoon where it oozes out of them,” one source who worked with Van Ness said.
