Renowned TV personality Ryan Seacrest is reportedly causing ripples on the American Idol set, with insiders pointing to a shift in demeanor that's causing friction among the show's cast and crew. Seacrest's alleged snide remarks to contestants and sour rapport with colleagues are causing a stir, according to show insiders.

A show insider lamented, "Ryan used to be such a nice, sweet guy, but he’s changed so much." They added that Seacrest's mood has taken a negative turn lately, leading to tense interactions with co-stars.

An example of this new demeanor was demonstrated in a recent episode where Seacrest told a contestant, "You sang 'Lose You to Love Me.' We might lose you tonight."

Seacrest, 48, left his co-hosting role on 'Live' alongside Kelly Ripa after a six-year tenure. Insiders suggest that Seacrest's expectation of more lucrative offers following his departure has been left unfulfilled, leaving him dissatisfied.

"He expected the offers to come pouring in, but that hasn’t happened," a source shared. The perceived lack of opportunities, leaving him with American Idol and his radio show, has reportedly bruised his ego.

The alleged change in Seacrest's attitude is causing speculation among insiders, some of whom suggest that he may have contributed to the rumored tension between him and Ripa during his time on 'Live'. A confidant shared, "It’s no secret he had a really bad time working with Kelly, and people are starting to wonder if he was the main problem."

Amid these speculations, calls for Seacrest to adjust his attitude are growing louder. As one insider put it, "He needs a major attitude adjustment!" With these rumors swirling, it remains to be seen how the dynamic on the American Idol set will evolve.
