During this week’s new episode of We Are Family on FOX, celebrities Debbie Gibson, Tiffany Haddish, and Tamar Braxton were revealed as the mystery relatives of three performers. Fans on social media criticized the audience members’ “uncultured” guesses about their identities.
The premise of We Are Family is that non-famous relatives of celebrities perform for the audience and sing a duet with their famous family member, who is hidden. The audience is tasked with trying to figure out who the performer is related to.
The audience guesses on this week’s episode had some users on X (formerly Twitter) expressing their disappointment. As one user wrote, We Are Family “would be a good show, if yall would stop choosing all these uncultured swines…”
“Man, these guesses are off, it’s Debbie Gibson,” wrote another user about the audience’s speculation. “Voice is too easy to recognize.”
Guesses from the audience about Gibson’s identity included Cyndi Lauper and Dolly Parton. Gibson performed with her nephew Nick on the show. She previously competed as Night Owl on Season 9 of The Masked Singer.
