Time may heal wounds, but – according Tyra Banks – not all  of them.

The supermodel turned super-mogul revealed in a new interview that she’s still scarred by the rivalry with Naomi Campbell.

The Brit-bred diva then guested on said show and asserted that she did not recall any messiness. By the time the credits rolled, the ladies had made amends and that was seemingly that.
