Bobby Berk has unfollowed Tan France and Antoni Porowski from Queer Eye on Instagram

Bobby Berk announced his departure from Queer Eye in an Instagram post last week, and now there’s even more drama around him leaving the show as he’s unfollowed two of the other cast members.

Bobby no longer follows either Tan France or Antoni Porowski on Instagram, although both of them still follow him. Bobby does still follow Karamo and Jonathan Van Ness.

Bobby also shared a story with Karamo on his Instagram a few days ago, which would seem to confirm that the beef is between Bobby, Tan and Antoni. Fans on Reddit also pointed out that Antoni only invited Tan and Jonathan Van Ness to his engagement party, further fuelling rumours of a major fallout between the Queer Eye cast members.

A source claimed that Bobby Berk was actually “asked to leave” Queer Eye after issues with the rest of the cast, which resulted in them “resenting him.”

The source said: “There were many challenges with scheduling and there was a loss of interest from Bobby filming the show. The network and the cast thought it was time to bring in fresh blood. His heart was not in it and the rest of the cast started to resent him because of that.”

Bobby Berk announced his decision to leave Queer Eye in a lengthy and emotional Instagram post. He wrote: “To the Queer Eye Community who have become family to me.

“The love that I have received from you all over the last six years has been absolutely surreal. You have tuned in and been dedicated fans and together we were able to share the healing powers of design. I learned from you all about kindness, love and acceptance and that has changed my life for the better.

Tan is the only member of the Fab Five who hasn’t commented on Bobby’s leaving post. Karamo commented: “@bobby we are #ForeverTheFab5 | no matter what. I’m about to be a Netflix’s door & e-mails telling them you can’t leave! Who is coming with me? I love you!”

Jonathan Van Ness commented three love hearts on the post whilst Antoni replied: “#foreverthefab5 indeed, and don’t forget it.”
