AceShowbiz - Brooke Burke has weighed in on criticism against Tyra Banks over the latter's hosting gig on "Dancing with the Stars". When offering her two cents the former co-host of the dancing competition show said the model should not' try to be a "diva."
In the Wednesday, April 13 episode of the "Behind the Velvet Rope" podcast, Brooke acknowledged that Tyra is indeed "a diva" and "everybody knows it." She added, "There's nothing wrong with that, and I'm not saying anything bad about her - be a diva! It's [just] not the place to be a diva."
The 50-year-old said she believes the "America's Next Top Model" creator had a "tough transition" after replacing previous co-host Tom Bargeron and Erin Andrews. "Change is hard for everyone. They've gone through a lot on that show, that's for sure," she said, adding that "you are just not the star."
"Like, it is just not about you as the host, right? So, yeah, I think Tyra is great in a shining role," Brooke, who won Season 7 of "DWTS" with former pro-turned-judge Derek Hough, continued. "I will just say that."
Tyra herself recently came under fire as "Dancing with the Stars" is moving from ABC to Disney+. It was reported that the dancing competition show was dropped by ABC following criticism against her and plummeting ratings.
Ever since her debut, Tyra has been called out by viewers several times, including the moment when she wore a Britney Spears-inspired outfit dedicated to the pop star.
The TV personality also got slammed by Twitter users after an Insider writer, Kate Taylor, penned an article about her. The title read, "Tyra Banks wanted 'America's Next Top Model' to fix fashion. Now, some contestants say the show was 'psychological warfare.' " The criticism was bad enough until she deleted her Twitter account.
