Tara Lipinski tells her ‘Traitor’ castmates they’ve been saying her name wrong all season.
The cast of Traitors doesn’t live up to Tara Lipinski’s name.
Viewers of the Peacock competition series noticed that many of the former Olympic figure skater’s co-stars in Season 4 mispronounced her name, calling her TAIR-Uh instead of the correct TAH-Rah, despite her best efforts to correct it.
“At some point I just gave up,” the gold medalist wrote in a Jan. 25 TikTok comment where creator Hope Throop asked why no one seemed to know the correct way to say Tara’s name.
Making the group’s failure even more of a traitor? Tara’s longtime best friend and fellow figure skater Johnny Weir is also in the cast, but fellow Traitors stars haven’t yet taken their cues from him.
As Tara says, “At least Johnny said my name correctly.”
At the same time, perhaps the Olympic Commentator’s co-stars didn’t know how close they were outside of the show, so they might not have followed Johnny’s instructions when it came to pronouncing Tara’s name correctly.
In fact, part of the duo’s strategy for filming The Traitors was to act as if they barely knew each other.
