There's No Beef Between the Original Queer Eye Crew and the Netflix Remake, OK?

“I’m thrilled that they’re nominated, but it was a little more groundbreaking back when we won an Emmy in 2004.”

Two days later, truly wasting no time—and, perhaps, after getting hit with a barrage of “what the fuck, dude?” texts from concerned friends—Kressley clarified his remarks to People:

“I loved being a part of the original ‘Queer Eye’ and I love the reboot. When I said the original was more groundbreaking it only meant that the original aired in an era when there was far less representation of gay people on television. We have come a long way and I am very proud to have passed the torch to the wonderful and talented new cast.”

Honestly, it makes sense? I doubt the Queer Eye guys came into their project with the aim of breaking ground (at least, I hope not—or they might’ve taught Antoni to cook ahead of time) but it’s nice to see the non-beef squashed.
