DWTS’ Tyra Banks claps back at show fans who claim she’s the ‘worst host ever’ with cryptic quote ahead of season finale
TYRA Banks clapped back at fans who've been slamming her hosting skills on DWTS with a cryptic quote.
The model, 47, has come under fire all season for her "unprofessional" and "rude" behavior while presenting the ABC dancing competition.
And ahead of the season finale, Tyra subtly hit back at her haters via the "likes" section of her Twitter account.
The presenter appeared to take a swipe at her critics when she shared her appreciation for entrepreneur Vala Afshar's post about not always having "strong opinions.
Vala had tweeted: "You can reduce your stress by not having a strong opinion about everything."
It comes just weeks after Tyra was slammed for "shoving" Olivia Jade offstage after she was eliminated.
Olivia, 22, and Jimmie Allen, 36, were left devastated when they were both booted off the show earlier this month.
And DWTS fans were furious with how Tyra handled their exit, claiming she "shooed" Olivia and her pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy offstage.

They also blasted the former model, 47, for "interrupting" Jimmie in the middle of a sentimental story about his grandmother.
Earlier this month, she was called out for embarrassing Suni Lee for rushing offstage to vomit after her performance.
Suni and her partner Sasha Farber decided to dance the Paso Doble to We Will Rock You for Queen week.
However, after the routine, Suni was seen immediately heading backstage, which led Tyra Banks to explain the situation.
She said: “Suni is not feeling so good. Not Covid! Not Covid at all! But she's not feeling well so she danced sick and she had to leave. But she's okay!”
Suni would return to the stage for the relay dances, but Tyra once again focused on the awkward moment.
Tyra told the athlete: "Suni, I got to ask you. I know you've been struggling all day and, like, dude is like, you're throwing up. This is live TV and you ran off!”
COMING UNDER FIRE
Tyra was slammed for repeatedly pointing out that Suni had thrown up, instead of tactfully brushing over it to save the teen from further embarrassment.
Days after the incident, Suni admitted on Instagram that she was feeling "lonely" and not "mentally okay".
Asked if she "misses home" by one fan, the 18-year-old replied: "Yes so much, I'm lonely in LA ahah and I miss my people."
Another follower wanted to know: "Are you feeling better emotionally and physically?"
The teenage athlete confessed: "Eh I'm okay, still healing from my fractured shin at the Olympics and mentally I could be better."
