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.

90’s hitmaker and star of TV One’s ‘R&B Divas: LA’ Michel’le Toussaint (known mononymously as Michel’le) is finally getting her day via the highly anticipated biographical film ‘Surviving Compton:  Dre, Suge, and Michel’le.’

Airing tonight at 8/7c on Lifetime, the flick – intentionally premiering during Domestic Abuse Awareness Month – not only tells of Toussaint’s rise to fame, but primarily focuses on her highly publicized, tumultuous relationship with rap royal Dr. Dre before and during his time with legendary rap group N.W.A.  And, while Michel’le was never mentioned in the group’s blockbuster biopic, ‘Straight Outta Compton,’ released last year, she asserts her cinematic venture will highlight aspects of Dre’s life ‘Straight Outta Compton’ left out.

While we at TGJ HQ will definitely have our popcorn at the ready tonight when the film premieres, we’re curious to know…
