Tyra Banks, the genius model behind the Bankable ‘America’s Next Top Model‘ has shared fresh thoughts on her spat with Naomi Campbell in an insightful interview with the ‘Wall Street Journal.’
Alas, Banks’ decision to discuss the drama has seen former ‘Top Model’ fans take to Twitter to shed a fresh light on tweets which examine all the ways they believe she engaged in the behaviour Naomi was accused of participating in.
These old episode of America’s Next Top Model were so problematic whew. Rampant cultural appropriation, transphobia (telling one of the girls she looks like a tr****, like that’s an insult…). Chile this show would not have survived in this era

Season 4 of America’s Next Top Model is problematic af. Tyra Banks is telling a model that she needs to put up with sexual harassment as part of the job and then had the models do a shoot where they were portraying a different race?? Wtf

Tyra’s take, at the 11 minute mark, below…
Tyra’s words (though peaceful) offended those of Naomi’s fans who believe she should keep mum on the matter.
How they responded? By pointing out the ways in which Tyra targeted vulnerable ‘America’s Next Top Model’ contestants by retweeting and liking the messages below.

america’s next top model is so iconic, no doubt about it, but it had so many super problematic moments that i don’t understand how tyra and others let it slide.

I watch the re-runs of this show sometimes and it hits me how anti-Black it was.
This was one of those moments.

Naomi is yet to respond to Tyra’s fresh assessment of their feud.
@tyrabanks you did Tiffany diiiirty in amntm… smdh

Tiffany did NOTHING to warrant the attack Tyra enacted. It was her way of coping, and she didn’t want to be visibly disappointed or upset so she laughed it off. There is nothing wrong with that. @tyrabanks ur a mess https://t.co/Q2EjQHNk4Z

You have to work and use the computer and internet, and if you can do that and dedicate some time each day then you can do this with no problem.
I have been working with this for a month and have made over $2,000 already. let me know if you need more help.

David with the retraction.
I clocked this too… i see you that grape juice…
No offense David but what exactly did Tyra say? What is so hard with writing whatever she said in quotes?
Nah, I just think Naomi was a mean girl back then. Fame, clout, and hype will do that. And some people hate competition.
everybody love Naomi Campbell the designers I never saw Tyra Banks hanging out with Gianni Versace.
Tyra get over it already!!! Y’all are 50 year old women now. This “beef” was over 20 years ago. I swear if I had a dollar for every time she spoke Naomi’s name, I’d be building a mansion in Beverly Hills.
Right. She still talm ‘bout this. GWIRLLLLLah!!!
Don’t compare the teacher Tyra on Top Model to the peer/peer status she & Naomi shared. Naomi was a bully who had to take court-ordered Anger Management classes several times. Look it up people.
This Tweeter dummies coming after Tyra sound so CHILDISH. I guarantee all of them are in the 7th grade. They sound immature AF!!!
