AceShowbiz - Tyler Neasloney, a contestant in this season of "Project Runway", has gone viral over a comment he made about Karlie Kloss' marriage. In the latest episode of the Bravo competition series, the aspiring designer left everyone in shock by throwing a subtle shade towards the blonde model.
During the judging segment on the show, Tyler received harsh criticism over his design with judge Brandon Maxwell telling him, "Tyler, I cannot see Karlie wearing it anywhere, honestly." This prompted Tyler to respond by saying, "Not even to dinner with the Kushners?" Karlie was clearly taken aback by his comments, so did everyone else. Seemingly not noticing the awkward moment, he went on saying, "That's your husband."
The moment immediately went viral on social media, as a lot of people praised Tyler for his bluntness and even dubbed the scene the best moment on the show. "TYLER FOR THE WIN WITH THE KUSHNER COMMENT, bad clothes be damned!!!!" one said, as some other joked that he should get an Emmy for his comment alone. "Give him all of the crowns trophies & awards WORLD CLASS SHADE!!! It needed to be said," another said.
"I know his time on the show is limited now but that was truly worth it," someone commented. On the other hand, one other jokingly wrote, "The read of the decade has already been delivered. We're skipping ahead to 2030 now." There was also one who called his comment "brilliant execution...2020 new goal is to speak with as much truth and little remorse as them."
Tyler himself later stressed that he meant no harm with his comment and said that it was intended to be about the look. "So that's what is bothersome about some of the coverage, both press and Twitter, is a lot of people are treating it as this non sequitur," he said. "It was not a non sequitur; it was entirely related to the aesthetic of the look."
He added, "Bottom line, I have a lot of respect for Karlie. I'm not a nasty person. I thought we were on a friendly enough playing field. So Karlie, at the end of the day, she's a human, so I don't want her to just hate me or feel awful about what I said."
Karlie is currently married to Joshua Kushner. His brother, Jared, is the husband of Ivanka Trump.
