Chef Stuart O’Keeffe is popping off on all of the behind-the-scenes drama on Netflix’s “Queer Eye” … particularly since he was initially forged to be one of many Fab 5 earlier than manufacturing gave him the boot.

We acquired Stu leaving Pastis in NYC … and he tells us he is glad he did not find yourself being a part of the collection after the Rolling Stone article unveiled all of the imply woman vibes behind the scenes — which is especially dicey for the reason that present’s all about altering individuals’s lives for the higher.

Stu’s additionally questioning how “Queer Eye” can proceed capturing one other season and persuade viewers they are a tight-knit, unified group able to lend a serving to hand. Bear in mind, the expose alleged there was no love misplaced between the present’s leads, Antoni Porowski, Bobby Berk, Jonathan Van Ness, Karamo Brown and Tan France.

His 2 cents? Netflix ought to begin from scratch with a complete new crew for a contemporary begin. The Irish chef says the Fab 5’s closeness and bond is what drew viewers in … however now the dynamic is damaged following the expose.

Stu could also be a little bit biased given his historical past with the present. To not point out, he is good mates with BB — who introduced his exit from ‘QE’ in November … although it is unclear if his departure was truly his determination.

Season 8 marked Bobby’s final look on “Queer Eye,” as he is been changed by inside designer Jeremiah Brent. The remainder of the reboot’s OGs have all signed on for one more season.

Although, very like Chef Stu, we aren’t positive it will be the identical.
