In a post on X announcing his departure, he described the decision to leave the show as a “necessary one”.It had been rumoured that a feud had emerged between Berk and France.
A report on US Weekly claimed Berk was “asked to leave” the Netflix series “because he wasn’t vibing with the cast”.“There were many challenges with scheduling [and] there was a loss of interest from Bobby filming the show,” an insider told the outlet. “The network and the cast thought it was time to bring in fresh blood.
His heart was not in it and the rest of the cast started to resent him because of that.”Another source, however, denies Berk was asked to leave the show, stating the “decision was amicable”.Now, Berk has cleared the air surrounding the situation.
