Tyra Banks Disputes Rumors She Doesn’t Want Housewives On “Dancing With The Stars”

“Tyra has never been a fan of the Housewives, but the real reason she doesn’t want them on her show is that Bethenny Frankel, NeNe Leakes and Teresa Giudice do not make headlines anymore.”

“This is 100 percent untrue.”

Elana Rose went on to say:

“She’s a huge fan of the ‘Housewives’ and everyone knows Tyra is a businesswoman first. As a businesswoman, why would she say anything against the ‘Housewives’? She has nothing to do with casting.”

Banks apparently even went so far as to advocate for a Housewife friend, according to her publicist.

 “[She] Just tried to get one of her really good friends on the ‘Housewives!’ She watches the shows. She loves them.”

Before Tyra could clear up the rumor; however former Real Housewife of New York City Bethenny Frankel took her words personally and slammed the model on Thursday, October 22nd. Bethenny Frankel tweeted:

“Good to know @TyraBanks has clumped me in her no more housewives mandate on @DancingABC Also good to know-their casting director Deena, who I *heart emoji has asked me to be on that show multiple x in the last decade. I’m also no longer a housewife, but nobody is bigger than the game Tyra.”

“I deleted that last post Bc I really like & have a great relationship with Deena Katz from #DWTS . If @tyrabanks wants to come on my podcast, she is welcome anytime as she has built a successful brand on her own in her own way. #justbwithbethenny”
