Supermodel Tyra Banks has addressed her disagreement with fellow judge Law Roach on Season 22 of Project Runway, the Freeform fashion competition that aired over the summer, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. In the fifth episode she told him, "That's not the challenge." Roach replied, "But you're overstepping."
Banks answered, "No, you're overstepping... and you're talking over everybody." In the following episode Roach said, "As much as I hate to, I agree with Tyra." Banks did not return to the series after the exchange. Some viewers speculated that the clash caused tension between them.
The 52-year-old called that idea "so crazy." Asked where she stands with Roach, she said, amused, "Okay, we're beefing.
It's just weird for me," and suggested fans enjoyed the narrative. She said viewers did not know the terms of her contract.
"People start making things [into something] and it becomes the truth, and sometimes you say, 'Whatever,'" she said.
