When Law Roach served a super shady shutdown to one contestant, we could literally feel the tension through the screen. But, before his Project Runway gig, it turns out Law Roach&#8217;s shady moments are nothing new. So, let&#8217;s take a look at the designer&#8217;s other jaw-dropping moments of total savagery! He was on <a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/2025\/08\/19\/all-the-biggest-rupauls-drag-race-scandals-that-threatened-the-entire-future-of-the-show\/\">RuPaul&#8217;s Drag Race<\/a>, for starters&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>Project Runway savagery<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Well damn \ud83d\ude2d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0obaUTmIHk\">pic.twitter.com\/0obaUTmIHk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 chris evans (@notcapnamerica) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/notcapnamerica\/status\/1957174192803377231?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 17, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s just hold space for the Project Runway season 21 premiere for a moment. Law Roach delivered one of the most brutal critiques in recent memory. Contestant Jesus Estrada\u2019s look had made the top three, yet Law didn\u2019t hold back, stating: &#8220;I hated it.&#8221; When Jesus responded: &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry if you hate the coat,&#8221; Law fired back: &#8220;Oh, I hate the whole look!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To drive home the shade, he compared the ensemble to a &#8220;Nigerian auntie&#8221; moment, prompting instant cringe and tears. People called it raw and unfiltered. But, while some compared him to <a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/2024\/08\/07\/highest-earning-americas-got-talent-judge-takes-home-eye-watering-salary\/\">Simon Cowell<\/a> after the cutting comments, others labelled it cruel.<\/p>\n<p>Law&#8217;s critiques didn&#8217;t stop there, as he also went in on Jesus&#8217; twin brother, Antonio?! Giving feedback on the outfit he&#8217;d created, Law said: &#8220;If you had asked ChatGPT to help you make a Giambattista Valli for $100 then that&#8217;s what that look was&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Poor Plasma got taken down on Drag Race<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LAW ROACH&#039;S DRAG RACE\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qk54rFA43-o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Law\u2019s shade-proof attitude didn\u2019t stop at Project Runway, he\u2019s also made waves as a guest judge (and now rotating panellist) on RuPaul\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/2025\/08\/19\/these-jaw-dropping-rupauls-drag-race-transformations-will-leave-you-in-disbelief\/\">Drag Race<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1120\" data-end=\"1274\">In season 16, episode six (Welcome to the DollHouse), Law sat in the coveted third judge\u2019s seat. During his critique of Plasma, he made a shocking quip: &#8220;If I would have saw [Jane] using the same fabric to create that? I\u2019d literally punch that b*** in the throat.&#8221; A jaw-dropping moment, even by Drag Race standards.<\/p>\n<h2>Bringing Danny DeVito into it<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&quot;Law Roach completely read her down&quot; \ud83e\udee2 #dragrace\" width=\"540\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oGngukmLZ1E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1514\" data-end=\"1593\">Folks also vividly remember his hilariously brutal styling takedown of Geneva on RuPaul&#8217;s Drag Race. Law said: &#8220;Your doll has RuPaul\u2019s legs, and you have Danny DeVito\u2019s legs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1665\" data-end=\"1845\">He first noted how the skirt placement wasn\u2019t flattering and how chunky ankle straps made her legs look stumpy, then delivered the DeVito burn that had the entire fandom cackling.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1665\" data-end=\"1845\">Utter disappointment<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&quot;Law Roach ROASTED Utica&quot;\" width=\"540\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I8syNdtA4rw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Of course, the roasting didn&#8217;t stop there. Heading back over to Project Runway and Law was reading Drag Race star Utica down. He said of her look: &#8220;The cervix is dilated and she&#8217;s crowning&#8230; It&#8217;s not beautiful, it&#8217;s not flattering, I&#8217;m actually really disappointed in you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Law continued: &#8220;I did not come to work and get this beautiful glam to look at a bunch of ugly f***ing clothes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Reddit reacts to Law<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@kahlenbarry\/video\/7534513989091429687\" data-video-id=\"7534513989091429687\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width:605px; min-width:325px;\">\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@kahlenbarry\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@kahlenbarry?refer=embed\">@kahlenbarry<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Law Roach knows exactly what he\u2019s doing.

In a world where judging panels can lean safe and sweet, Law cranks the tension and the style up to eleven.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em>For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip
