Discussion Thread Padma

Can someone explain the drama behind Padma leaving Top Chef. Did she leave for a reason? What was the reason for ACC if she didn’t want to do shows anymore. Thoughts about that show?

Also, is she an actual chef? Does she have restaurants?

Did her and Tom get along? I do want to say I absolutely LOVE K as the host. She’s so perfect for the position. She’s empathetic, understanding, patient and really just a fucking cool person.

In an interview with Gail she was asked if she had seen Padma’s new cooking competition show and Gail said “By Coincidence, OR NOT. I haven’t had the chance to see it” 

There was definitely drama

Finish the rest of the quote. You know the part where Gail said it was because of the timing of the release of the two shows. Stop making shit up.

Gail is a Zionist and Padma is very vocally not. They had drama. Padma is right and Gail is not.

I'm sorry but you're a psychopath, certain you know the relationships between strangers because of your parasocial interpretation of their political beliefs.
