“The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” actor Alfonso Ribeiro and “America’s Next Top Model” host Tyra Banks are now co-hosting the new season of “Dancing with the Stars.”
For the past few seasons, fans of the reality competition show have been unhappy with the way Tyra Banks has been hosting, so when the show announced Ribeiro would be joining Banks, they were relieved.
However, it looks like Ribeiro is now facing backlash of his own because he couldn’t get the names of the contestants right.
Alfonso Ribeiro Called Shanela By The Wrong Name

Shangela Laquifa Wadley, commonly referred to as Shangela, is a professional drag queen and contestant from “RuPaul’s Drag Race” who is currently competing on this season of “Dancing With the Stars.”
During the second week of the competition, host Alfonso Ribeiro spoke with Shangela following her performance, asking the star what it was like to perform as the first male partner in the long-running competition series. Shangela quickly called out Ribero for using the wrong term, while further explaining what it meant to be a part of the show.
“Well, first of all, it’s a boy and a Drag Diva, but yes, it is,” Shangela said with a laugh. “Honestly, you know what? To be anyone who can walk through the door, there is responsibility. Not only to walk through it fiercely but also to push it so that others come behind. And that’s what we hope to do tonight.”
Now, the “Dancing With the Stars” host is taking heat again after calling Shangela by the wrong name. In the TikTok video below, you can hear Ribeiro refer to the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” star as “Angela,” not “Shangela.”

Fans were quick to point out the mistake. One fan commented, “They better get Miss Shangie’s name RIGHT!,” while another wrote, “She should call him ‘Alonzo’.”
Another TikTok user commented on the video, “Please tell me he’s fixed 😭”
Ribeiro has yet to comment on the error.
