\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\tLaw Roach is settling his rumored beef with Tyra Banks following their heated exchange on Project Runway<\/em> season 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tWhile chatting with The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> on the 2026 Emmys<\/a> red carpet Sunday evening, the celebrity stylist said, “There’s no Tyra situation at all. I think what I bring to the show is, you know, I’m not afraid to disagree with the judges.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t“And I think that it’s a forum, and it’s there because we all bring something to it and we all bring different opinions. And if someone’s opinion differs from mine, then I say that and vice versa. I’ve had fights with Heidi [Klum]; I’ve had fights with Nina [Garc\u00eda]; everyone, you know. For me, anybody can get the smoke,” Roach added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tFans speculated that Roach and Banks were feuding after the pair, who serve as judges on Project Runway<\/em>, clashed while giving feedback to the designers after a challenge. \u201cYou\u2019re overstepping,\u201d Roach said during episode five, as Banks replied, \u201cNo, you\u2019re overstepping. You\u2019re overtalking everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\u201cBecause everything doesn\u2019t have to be over the top. That\u2019s not fashion. It\u2019s about technique, and it\u2019s about talent. He can fucking sew,” Roach added, as Banks stated, “You\u2019re making no damn sense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tWhile chatting with THR<\/em>, the stylist and longtime Zendaya collaborator<\/a> also spoke about being encouraging to the designers on the show, in addition to giving tough critiques sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t“I think people love to talk about when the criticism is harsh, but nobody ever talks about when it’s positive,” he said. “I’m there to just give real world advice because I know what this industry is looking for. And it’d be doing them a disservice if I didn’t push them anyway, and iron sharpens iron, right?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tThe 78th Emmy Awards<\/a>, hosted by Mariska Hargitay<\/a>, aired live from the Peacock Theater on Monday, Sept. 14, at 8 p.m. ET\/5 p.m. PT on NBC and Peacock.
