What Tyra Banks Is Really Like Behind The Scenes On 'Dancing With The Stars'
Sometimes a celebrity can just slide into a role and immediately be embraced by fans. Tyra Banks' position as the host of Dancing With The Stars was definitely not as simple. For whatever reason, things have been tumultuous, right from the start. The moment she was announced as the new host of the show, social media heard from as many fans as they did critics.
There were a large number of people who were not just unimpressed to see her in this position, but were downright upset that she was 'ruining' the show simply by being on it. Gossip Cop reports that Tyra then went on to mess up a few times and she wasn't shown any forgiveness whatsoever. There have been a lot of rumblings suggesting she's not the simplest to work with behind the scenes, yet her current production team appear to support her. We're breaking down what Tyra Banks is really like behind the scenes of Dancing With The Stars.
8 Derek Hough Says Tyra Is Graceful Under Pressure
Derek Hough has been on both sides of the equation, as both a performer and a judge on Dancing With The Stars. His perspective is a unique one, and fans have heard nothing but wonderful reviews from him when it comes to how he feels about Tyra Banks.
During the infamous blunder in which Banks read out the wrong names during a live show, Derek Hough says that she was as graceful as could be. He maintains that she was given the wrong name cards and in spite of the fact that she was in the hot spot after announcing the wrong names in error, she was a 'true professional' and handled the pressure perfectly well. Q Newshub reported on Hough giving Banks a glowing report on her behind the scenes behavior.
7 Emma Slater Backs Up Tyra's Professionalism
It seems that Tyra Banks has a supporter in Emma Slater, too. Good Housekeeping reports on Emma's rave reviews of Tyra, indicating that; "Despite having to say goodbye so early on in the show, Emma still praises Tyra for her hosting skills and even wishes they had gotten more acquainted."
During the interview, Emma continued to applaud Tyra and seemed to truly admire her efforts. She indicated Tyra Banks demonstrated incredible professionalism during the blunder and has nothing bad to say about the supermodel host.
6 Val Chmerkovskiy Says Tyra's Full Of Love
When asked what Tyra Banks is like, as a person, Val Chmerkovskiy said she was "A plus plus." He went on to reveal that "behind the cameras, she treats everybody with love and respect." For all the haters out there, he tells Good Housekeeping that he believes she is being given the short end of the stick and deserves more credit.
He said; "I think also we’ve yet to know a lot of Tyra because this was also a Zoom type of season,” offering a loose conceptualization as to why the star may be misunderstood by some. He went on to say; "I think Tyra did a great job. I’m excited to see the job that she does next season after having the opportunity to actually have a real season.”
5 Staff Say She's Disrespectful
Staff on the set of Dancing With The Stars seem to have a very different perspective of Tyra Banks. However, it's clear that they're not really comfortable putting their faces forward in an official complaint about her. It seems that Tyra is a bit of a bully to some, and many people are speaking quietly about her behind the scenes behavior, rather than giving an interview that will 'get them in trouble.' Staff has leaked information to the press, indicating that Tyra was fussy, intent on getting her way, and treated them with total disrespect. Apparently, she's much different when the cameras start rolling.
4 She Blamed The Producers, And They Saved Face For Her
When the wrong names were given to Tyra Banks and she read them aloud, she saved face as best as she could and seemed to be nonchalant about the error on camera. She took to social media later and appeared to be quite laid back about the situation, casually indicating that with live TV, sometimes this stuff 'just happens.' Ok Magazine quoted one of the set staff as saying; "Tyra was warned after she attacked the staff last week to move on. Blaming others isn’t a good look, and it isn’t smart. There are literally hundreds of people working behind-the-scenes to make her and the show a success, and she keeps trashing them."
3 She's Been Described As A Tyrant
One of the on-set staff also used the word 'tyrant' when describing Tyra Banks. They indicated that when she didn't get her way, or when something would happen on set that made her look less than perfect, she would express crass and hateful behavior, lose her temper, and isolate those that she was angered by. The use of the word 'tyrant' suggests that she was intimidating and not at all as respectful as others have suggested her to be.
2 A Lot Seems To Be 'Taken Back'
There seems to be a lot of chatter about Tyra Banks being less than kind when the cameras aren't on, but oddly, a lot of these discussions are quickly taken back or buried. Fans have grown increasingly suspicious after reports were released suggesting Banks was acting rudely to others on set, and perhaps not so coincidentally, when a bad report comes out, there are others that rush to her aid and immediately state how wonderful she is. It seems that some who air grievances about her later 'walk back' their comments, or someone else steps in with words of praise to shift focus.
1 She's Incredibly Arrogant
It seems that Tyra Banks has a chip on her shoulder and isn't afraid to show it behind the scenes. Her behavior has been displayed in a less than favorable manner, and she has been pegged as being quite rude on set. In fact, Gossip Cop quoted a conversation given by a staffer who wished to be anonymous. That individual expressed how Tyra's arrogance really takes over when she's on set and is quoted as saying; “Tyra thinks because she has so much experience hosting, she doesn’t have to prepare.”
