Tyra Banks and Law Roach continue sending playful jabs at one another as Roach reacts to Banks’ latest interview comments about where the two stand after working together on Season 22 of ‘Project Runway,’ which aired over the Summer.
As we previously shared, in September, Roach appeared on Ts Madison’s ‘Outlaws’ podcast. During the sit-down, he addressed his viral disagreements with Banks during their time on the fashion competition show. Madison asked the celebrity fashion stylist and image architect where he stands with Banks. He began by crediting the model and creator of ‘America’s Next Top Model’ with platforming him and his talent. He said:
“I started reality TV because of Tyra. Tyra put me on ‘America’s [Next] Top Model.’ That was my first reality show. Tyra told me so much about—she’s a great producer. And Tyra is the one who told me that I speak in soundbites. She’s like ‘You[‘re] made for reality TV.’”
Roach continued to boldly claim how considered himself the fashion expert on the panel, minus fashion journalist Nina Garcia. When Madison asked about Banks, he said, “Tyra’s a model.” There was then an awkward, long pause between the two.
Since then, on Thursday (November 12), TMZ caught up with Banks who revealed where she stands with Roach after ‘Project Runway.’ She said:
“I actually haven’t talked to Law since I’ve been on ‘Project Runway.’ So, we haven’t spoken. Although, he’s been speaking quite a lot hasn’t he? I think the world saw Law Roach many years ago as this amazing stylist. I saw Law Roach as a star. And I told him, ‘You’re a star, because you speak in soundbites’ and you know how to get people’s attention.’ And I gave Law his first chance on television. So, what you see, whether it’s—he’s very tea, right? I saw that and I’m experiencing it firsthand and I’m enjoying it. What’s good, Law?!”
Banks also spoke with Entertainment Tonight about her and Roach’s status. She said, “I actually haven’t even talked to Law. But, I see him talking, chile. Every interview. He’s got something to say about Miss Banks. I see you, boo.”
When asked if she had anything to say to him, she said, “I gave you that voice. I was the first person to put you on TV and told you that you were a star.” She then told the host, “And he is doing it. He knows how to get attention. That’s all I’ll say. And I see. Yes. Yup.” Roach ended up replying in the comments and said, “It’s so true! She told me I was a star ❤️❤️❤️.”
