Bobby Berk, everyone's favorite design guru from that hit show *Queer Eye*, recently took a moment on Instagram that fans are loving. He's weighing in on some current drama with his usual perfect timing and a dash-of-witty style.
What drama, you ask? Well, things have heated up between our beloved Fab Five—Jonathan Van Ness, Tan France, Antoni Porowski, Karamo Brown, and newcomer Jeremiah Brent. The spark? Karamo Brown choosing not join press interviews promoting their tenth and final season. According his assistant, Karamo's sitting out because he's worried about bullying and emotional stress. His therapist advised him that putting mental health first sometimes means skipping promotion efforts.
Tensions surfacing within Queer Eye's Fab Five
Karamo stepping back has shone a light on some long-standing issues in their group. Rumor has it Karamo even hit 'Unfollow' on Van Ness, France, and Porowski after a big blow-up during season ten filming. Reportedly, Karamo's mom overheard some not-so-nice comments concerning his "lifestyle choices" from this trio, fanning those flames even more.
Bobby Berk's Instagram response: a clever twist
Bobby, who was an integral part until he left at season eight's end in 2023, couldn't resist joining in with a cheeky Instagram post. He shared a fun pic swinging from a fence with a big ol' grin while Chappell Roan's 2023 hit "My Kink Is Karma" played in background.
The song, all about seeing karma catch up with people, was spot on. Lyrics like "It's comical, bridges you burn / If karma's real, hope it's your turn," certainly echo current happenings.
Adding his own twist, Berk captioned it with, "How's everyone's week going?! Seen my new show *Junk or Jackpot?!* on @HGTV, @HBOmax, and @DiscoveryPlus?” It was a smart move, letting him sidestep any drama and promote his latest venture.
Looking back: Bobby Berk's Queer Eye journey
Since leaving *Queer Eye* in 2023, Bobby's been pretty open about his not-so-smooth exit. He believed season eight was everyone's final bow, but got a shock when others stuck around. Tension with Tan France bubbled up in early 2024, and a Rolling Stone write-up hinted France tried replacing him with buddy Jeremiah Brent. France denied it, saying Berk was "let go."
Berk hasn't held back about his time on *Queer Eye*, sharing how left-out he felt when Netflix sidelined him from promo materials. Financial challenges? Oh yeah—he's talked about lost earnings thanks low pay and time away from his design biz during those early seasons.
New chapters and dreams in sight
Come July 2025, Bobby launched his new gig, *Junk or Jackpot?*, perfectly timed with *Queer Eye* wrapping up. He insists it wasn't planned, but called out Netflix being tight-lipped about show's end.
Instagram lit up with support over his recent post. Fans are here Bobby's witty jabs and timing. One fan said, "Bobby out here using drama algorithm," another loved tune choice with "What a LOVELY song choice." Someone else declared it "chef's kiss."
As Bobby strides forward beyond *Queer Eye*, he remains a fan darling, thanks his genuine warmth and charm. While old co-star drama unfolds, Bobby's living his best life, diving headfirst new projects, reflecting on past with a playful wink.
