Why is Bobby Berk leaving Queer Eye after Season 8?
News of Bobby’s exit from Queer Eye comes as a shock to avid fans of the show. Many questioned why Bobby would make such a decision while his popularity with the reality show was still soaring.
Bobby announced his departure from the show along with a goodbye to Queer Eye fans in a heartfelt Instagram post on November 13.
