Tyra Banks addresses Law Roach relationship after ‘Project Runway’ clash as stylist responds

Tyra Banks has revealed that she has not spoken to Law Roach since their disagreements on Project Runway, while acknowledging that the celebrity stylist continues to discuss her in interviews.

Speaking to TMZ on Thursday, November 12, Banks reflected on their relationship following the show’s 22nd season, which aired over the summer. She credited Roach’s early television success to his ability to capture audiences’ attention.

“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?”

Banks also recalled recognising Roach’s potential before he became one of the fashion industry’s most recognised celebrity stylists.

“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.”

During a separate conversation with Entertainment Tonight, Banks again addressed their lack of communication, joking that Roach seemed to have something to say about her in every interview.

“I gave you that voice. I was the first person to put you on TV and told you that you were a star,” she said.

Roach previously discussed their professional history during an appearance on Ts Madison’s Outlaws podcast in September, crediting Banks with giving him his first reality television opportunity on America’s Next Top Model.

Following Banks’ latest comments, Roach responded in the comments section, writing, “It’s so true! She told me I was a star ❤️❤️❤️.”

The exchange highlights their complicated relationship following their televised disagreements, although Roach’s response suggests he still appreciates the opportunity Banks gave him.
