A few weeks ago, it was revealed that Heidi Klum was going to walk the Project Runway again. So, we wondered what about her partner in fashion crime, Tim Gunn?
The fashion guru revealed his fate to People. When Klum got the gig, she assumed that PIFC would be part of the revival. So, she asked him if he was interested. And, of course, he said, “YES!”
“So Heidi and I were texting and texting, and several months later, she sent me a text asking, ‘Are you happy with your contract?’ I’m a truth-teller. I don’t even mince words. I said, ‘Well, I haven’t seen a contract,'” he told People. “And she said, ‘You haven’t?’ No. So I called my agent and he knew things were going on, but he contacted the executive producers of this new show, and they said, ‘We don’t want him.’ And [my agent] said, ‘Well, he’s done 19 seasons of Runway, 16 with Heidi. The two of them won an Emmy together as hosts, and now you’re going to separate them?’ And they said yes.”
Obviously, we are all sad to hear that because he is the best part of the show. So, how does he feel about it? “I thought, how lucky am I to have had the experiences that I’ve had over the last 20 years?” he explained to People. “This is phenomenal. I stopped the boo-hooing. I thought, it’s really throwing hubris in the face of an angry God to mourn not being on this new show. So I’ve come to terms with it. Am I disappointed? Sure. And most of all, it’s about not working with Heidi, but we move on and things happen for a reason. I don’t know what the reason is yet, but it will be revealed.”
Well, I am not watching anymore. Not that I was going to.
