Chef Stuart O’Keeffe is showing up all over the behind-the-scenes drama of Netflix’s “Queer Eye” … especially since he was initially cast as one of the Fab 5 before production kicked him out.
We have Stu leaving Pastis in New York… and he tells us he’s glad he wasn’t part of the series after the Rolling Stone article revealed all the mean girl vibes behind the scenes – which is particularly risky since the show . all about changing people’s lives for the better.

Stu is also questioning how “Queer Eye” can continue filming another season and convince viewers that they are a close-knit, tight-knit team ready to help. Remember, the alleged complaint was no love lost among the protagonists of the program, Antoni Porowski, Bobby Berk, Jonathan Van Ness, Karamo Brown It is Tan France.
Your 2 cents? Netflix should start from scratch with an entirely new team for a fresh start. The Irish chef says the Fab 5’s closeness and bond was what attracted viewers… but now the dynamic has been broken following the exposure.
Stu might be a little biased given his history with the show. Not to mention he’s good friends with BB – who announced his departure from ‘QE’ in November… although it’s unclear whether his departure was actually his decision.
Season 8 marked Bobby’s final appearance on “Queer Eye” when he was replaced by an interior designer Jeremiah Brent. The rest of the reboot’s OGs have signed on for another season.
However, just like Chef Stu, we’re not sure if it will be the same.
