The behavior of actor Tony Danza towards reporter Rye Myers at the Broadway premiere of New York, New York, has been grabbing headlines. Danza has been criticized by netizens for his behavior towards Myers, which appeared to be an insult.

Rye has already shared a TikTok video, and Myers also addressed the moment in the caption, following which he has been receiving support from the public in the comments section. One of them was also Michael Bublé, who wrote in the comments:

"I think you're amazing Ry. I'll have a pizza with ya. Let's not invite Tony…"

Myers replied and wrote:

"Omg Michael, thank you for the kind comment. Means so much! I'd love to have pizza with you! It would be fun!"

Danza is yet to respond on the matter and his representatives are yet to comment on the same.

What did Tony Danza say during the interview?

In a video clip of the interview, Rye Myers spoke to Tony Danza and producer Jamie deRoy. While Myers greeted the duo, Danza told him to relax and slow down. Myers mentioned that he was excited, and Danza replied:

"I know, I know, I know. OK."

Myers ignored everything and questioned Danza about his favorite staple food in New York City. Danza seemed annoyed with the question, and he replied by saying:

"You know what you've got to do, buddy, you've got to come up with better questions."

Danza eventually walked away with deRoy, and Myers was shocked by the behavior he had to face from Danza's side. Myers wrote on TikTok that he understands that people sometimes prefer not to answer, but in that case, they can decide to pass.
