PROJECT Runway fans are divided over new judge Law Roach’s very strong critiques on the first episodes of season 21.<\/p>\n

In past seasons, the judges’ comments were often entirely positive or constructive criticism, but Law has raised eyebrows with his very harsh responses.<\/p>\n

On the premiere, Law left contestant Jesus Estrada bursting into tears after he said he “hated” his look- despite the designer landing in the top three of the week. <\/p>\n

“I hated it,” Law said, disagreeing with Heidi and Nina. <\/p>\n

“I’m sorry you hate the coat,” Jesus responded, before Law interrupted him: “I hated the whole thing!”<\/p>\n

Jesus started crying, prompting Nina to flatter his black dress and burgundy coat.<\/p>\n

“Guys I have to disagree with everything Nina said,” Law exclaimed. <\/p>\n

To me, she doesn’t look cool, she doesn’t look young, she looks like a Nigerian auntie!” <\/p>\n

On the third episode, Law expressed his disgust with Ethan Mundt’s entire team, who used a denim fabric to create “showstopper” looks.<\/p>\n

“I am really pissed off about this collection,” he fumed. <\/p>\n

“I did not come to work to look at a bunch of ugly f***ing clothes!”<\/p>\n

NAUGHTY AND NICE<\/p>\n

However, Law was at times kind and complimentary over designs he did love.<\/p>\n

On the second challenge, he raved over Jesus’ athleisure-inpired outfit, claiming the designer redeemed himself from the first challenge.<\/p>\n

“I have to say this, you have done something that a lot of people cannot do, and that is to shut me up,” Law said. <\/p>\n

“I was so tough on you on the runway…I would wear those pants in a heartbeat!”<\/p>\n

Some fans loved Law’s new style of judging, likening him to sharp-tongued Simon Cowell<\/a> in American Idol<\/a>‘s early seasons.<\/p>\n

“I find him endearing,” one Reddit follower said. “He\u2019s the friend I want by my side. No fru fru fake nice. Tell me my zipper is down. <\/p>\n

“Law wants to see people win. His critiques are not mean, they\u2019re direct and thoughtful. He\u2019s clearly in love with his craft and rightfully respected in the industry.”<\/p>\n

“I think he\u2019s perfect and making the season,” a second chimed in.<\/p>\n

“At least we have someone making things interesting!” a third claimed.<\/p>\n

Others thought he went way too far.<\/p>\n

“He’s catty and gives no real advice,” one said.<\/p>\n

“He’s far too cruel and should not be on the show,” another insisted. “He should be fired!”<\/p>\n

Project Runway airs on Freeform every Thursday, and streams on Hulu<\/a> and Disney Plus<\/a>.<\/p>\n
