“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 Friday. “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.)

Yikes at the shading of Bobby throughout Tan’s comments. “My former colleague” and “somebody else”… 

[The Slayer]

I’m so sad at all this drama as I love Queer Eye. 
 

I screamed at Tan shadily saying Bobby got fired when Bobby said he quit 

[Triton]

Honestly just cancel Queer Eye…. It’s so mundane and repetitive.

Wait I thought Bobby quit? What's going on?

[I Am Music]

Kinda crappy to air someone out like that even if you had your differences 

[visions]

Need a Queer Eye reunion episode I know those “positive vibes” gays can only pretend so much, SCRAP!

[XXI.]

My first question is who watches Queer Eye? I genuinely don't know a single gay person that watches it. 

 

Secondly, Bobby was the person who did all the heavy lifting of that show... all of this drama and negative energy around the cast would make me want to watch it even less.

i think the show has a pretty big straight female audience. i know so many girls that love this show

[Lord Gaga]

It's so boring now and has been since like season 3. Just cancel it

[Capris Groove]

Bobby always seemed like a genuinely nice person and Tan always seemed insincere, and like one of those overly nice people who you avoid like the plague. These comments confirm that.

[KanMap]

I don’t know what really happened but now I’m sure Tan is a shady b****. How ugly of him saying Bobby was fired.

[yourfaveisaflop]

Bobby seems nice and he did a lot more work than the rest of them. How shady of tan to say he was fired. Tan always came off as a hater. 

[Tudors]

I have never spent a second watching this but I wonder if any of the cast got with the straight guy behind the scenes or is any of the straight guys later came out as gay 😂

Yeah just awful, stfu tan

[BionicWooHoo]

Tan coming across as a mean girl is not it :/ sucks cuz him and Bobby were my favorites

[Cameltoe Chariot]

Bobby has ALWAYS come across as the only nice one in the bunch, and there have been plenty of stories over the years that confirmed this.

 

The rest of these losers look like sad, washed up mean gays who are all collectively on the last legs of their careers.

[bjorn]

The hypocrisy is real. 
 

why can’t he say it like it is? Yall are gagging when a housewife says they’re leaving the show and immediately scream “they were fired. Andy fired them etc” 

but it’s okay for gays to disrespect women right?? Disgusting 

[hungrymuffin]

never like him, a narcissist and he doesnt contribute much to the show

 

was gonna say bobby and jonathan were the only 2 nice ones, but then i saw the other thread

 

guess the gays are all the same, you would people in minority group would be nicer to each other but no

[OrgVisual]

Who would actually expect "positive vibes" from putting 5 fame-hungry gays together? Like i can smell that from miles away

[okgo]

never watched this but we stand with Bobby 

 

[SupremeGoddess]

they’re all unsuccessful in their own ventures outside of the show except for Bobby. he got the last laugh 

 

the kii will be when netflix plus the plug on the final the next season and they call cry wolf to save their skins  count your days miss tan, your career is about to be over
