Tan France says it had nothing to do with strange eye His colleague Bobby Berk was apparently fired and replaced on the popular Netflix series.
“Yes, I have heard what is going on and I just want to address a point very quickly. “My former colleague’s firing had nothing to do with me trying to hire my friend,” said France, co-host and fashion expert on the series, in a Instagram post from Friday.
Rumors and accusations have circulated since interior designer Berk left the series and it was learned that he would be replaced by Jeremiah Brent for the ninth season of strange eye after an alleged campaign led by France.
France, who heads the styling portion of the series, insists that Netflix did its own casting for Berk’s replacement and without him campaigning for Brent, as he is accused of doing. “I didn’t support my friend for work. They ended up getting it because they were the best person for the job. Am I so happy they have the job? UH Huh! I really am, I think they’re going to be amazing on the show. But I didn’t get them hired by saying goodbye to someone else,” France said dismissively.
He added that the media storm surrounding Berk’s departure was sparked by little more than a rumor mill. “This all started with a comment on a gossip blog. That was republished and republished, and then it almost became gospel. So, from the horse’s mouth, I’m telling you that’s not at all how it all happened. That’s all I have to say about it. We have to go deeper, if you still don’t believe me, so be it, but that’s all,” France said.
Representatives for Berk declined to comment on France’s social media post. On Friday, Berk also posted on his X, formerly Twitter, tell a video of former first lady Michelle Obama’s insistence “When they go down, we go up!”
