Tim been putting PR on blast for a while. There's one old interview where he goes IN on Heidi and whoever else was judging at the time.

Oh wow I missed this! What did he say about Heidi and the other judges?

[adb7]

In short, they were unqualified and biased. He said something like Heidi was tacky and ruined the integrity of the show. Isaac Mizrahi and Zac Posen are actual bad people and everyone on the panel is an asshole. He also talked about producers having a heavy hand on who wins and not understanding why certain people won.

Not one bit of this surprises me, it’s why I stopped watching years ago. But, I’m glad he’s speaking out. A true mentor!

[eatmydustbinns]

Heidi was definitely tacky and just there to bring in more viewers who probably only knew her as a model. I had no idea Isaac and Zac were bad ppl. That's disappointing because I used to really like Zac's work.

I mean, who knows if Tim is "right" about them. Maybe he just hates them for no reason lol.

Lol it'd be great if Tim just hates them because he thinks their clothes are tacky.

[eatmydustbinns]

Same! His name reminds me of the 2000s

[madame_no]

When I think of Isaac, I think of him touching Scarlett Johanson’s boob.

[staygoldpnyboy]

Same. (About groping Scarlett)

[eatmydustbinns]

Ugh I forgot about that. So Isaac is a nasty man..

[bellwetherr]

that and his target line lmao

[veracity]

She's also the host of Germany's Next Top Model....but I swear every time I come across the show they're in LA. (I don't watch generally. It's just on for fucking hours with repeats.)

[doubtmars]

Did he really? He created and hosts making the cut with Heidi.
