Tyra Banks is the currently the highest-trending topic on Twitter.
Find out why below…
I remember watching this as a young woman & I felt extremely discouraged to be on TV bc of this scene. I was disappointed in Tyra then… She ended up pressuring this girl to get dental surgery to be “marketable.” Also my gap & TV contract say HI! https://t.co/FYfvETcpkP

When the supermodel launched her hit show ‘America’s Next Top Model’ in the May of 2003 the lion’s share of its audience were teenagers.
Today, that audience is revisiting the show with adult eyes and condemning the series for its supposed exploitation of aspiring models….shortly after the model Slick Woods stunned Banks fans by sharing this message….
Unfortunately for Tyra, this remark encouraged a number of people to revisit the show and relive what some are calling “some of the worst moments in the history of television.”
See below…
Growing up is realising that Tyra Banks was the villain and not Naomi

ANTM/Tyra Banks’ commentary aged badly & that’s the honest truth. We were kids when we were watching this so we weren’t aware of what was being framed to us. Watching those clips now…. she definitely violated and she did it a lot.

I mean we always knew Tyra Banks was a little ditzy. I had no idea she was telling black girls they'd never make it with gapped teeth but then having a dentist file down a white girl's teeth to make her gap more prominent bc it was the "look". This muthafucka was diabolical 😭 https://t.co/YbkeYdgUC1

All the black models love Naomi and she helps the younger ones out. Adut Akech calls her mama. Then there’s Tyra.. the evil she’s done is enough

I mean, if we're going to crucify Tyra for all the manically fucked up shit she has done to girls on America's Next Top Model, this one moment with Yaya takes the cake. She is pressed when a black girl is more intelligent than her.https://t.co/j9MY7UqGN9

tyra n them’s methods were success by any means w/ heavy emphasis on assimilation=success. it was wrong then as it is now,but her goal was to make “top models” she prolly projected much of her trauma from the industry onto the competition.there is nothing revolutionary abt it.

Just imagine how many little girls were left with a negative perception of the modeling industry because of Tyra Banks and ANTM

Tyra has always given anti black to me. Look at her wigs now!! She’s not surrounded by blackness and it shows lmfao.
— IM GOING FOUR! (@niathemilf) May 5, 2020
These "cut throat" standards you speak of are primarily in favor of Eurocentric features. Tyra had a platform, and the power to attempt to shift some of these anti black biases but all she did every time was perpetuate them.

When people want to understand how millennials grew up with normalizing colorism and anti-Blackness towards Black women in pop culture: ANTM episodes like this from Tyra Banks played a role. pic.twitter.com/D5Q4UzXBHq

There’s also that time on Cycle 1, when Tyra Banks confronted Robbynne for feeling comfortable enough to flash Jay, but not feeling comfortable enough to pose nude in a photo shoot. She then eliminated her. Watch at 4:50.https://t.co/6zxmkKGve0

I use to love Americas next top model back on the day just like every other person.
But watching it today, my goodness, tyra is a monster.
She manipulated these girls and made them cry just for entertainment
She cut many of the contestants hair just to get a reaction, just to see them break down in tears.
What are wigs for? instead of cutting their hair why not give them a short wig?
She purposely did it to make them cry and traumatized them for entertainment.
I used to love Slick Woods! Until she can don Love and Hip Hop Hollywood last year and showed how messy she is. Tyra was wrong though. The show is canceled. Move on.
Went on love and hip hop**
Slick was never messy on the show though.
Back in the day, the media made naomi out to be the villain while they made tyra into the poor innocent victim
But today naomi is the real hero who upcoming models look up to while tyra is has been exposed as a fraud that she is.
Naomi is real
She cares about upcoming black models both Male and female
She cares about black issues
Naomi still looks pretty at 50 years old while tyra aged so badly
When ur evil on the inside, it’s only a matter of time before the evil starts destroying ur body and physical appearance.
God dont like dirty
he sees everything
The truth will eventually come to light
Miss. Victim always attacking Camila in magazine interviews. Using Camila name for clout.
All will still come to light
All will still be revealed.
God dont like dirty.
Yes. God doesn’t.
Hence it was revealed Camicky was racist to the public 5 Years Later
The clown will continue to bite back
Interesting how’ she’s using black men for hits.
Camicky is A Dumb Clown.
Honey normani is the one playing the victim just like tyra did back in the day
The media is portraying Camila as a villain just like how they did naomi back in the day.
Camila and naomi owned up to their faults.
Normani and tyra kept on playing victim and faking to get ahead.
Now see the outcome of naomi vs. Tyra today
This what gonna happen in the next 10 years.
Everybody will realise than normani was really the bad person.
I am never wrong, just watch and see.
There are some cases when people do too much when reassessing old shows but this stuff is actually crazy . She’s sadistic .
The photo shoots were fun back in the day but looking at them now , damn that was some serious bullshìt
Allowing models to pose in coffins
Really bìtch?
Allowing models to pose under water
Allowing models to pose with a giant dangerous spider.
Allowing models who are afraid of heights to shoot on sky scrapers.
Forcefully colouring a girls hair even tho she wasnt comfortable with it.
Remember that weave beard they gave that black dude? 😩😩😩😩😩
They glued a weave beard on a dude’s face
Tyra u need to be arrested.
She’s actually mad. Like for real. It’s actually disgusting. Most of the judges internalised their trauma and took their insecurities and frustrations on those poor girls. A few of them have made YouTube videos crying about their experiences.
Tyras wig in the pic you all played is an absolute flop lol. Y’all are shady for that
*posted
Kinda unfair. I watched a Reality show from early 2000s where a white girl called the black girls ghetto. Things were different then
FoH
The girl had a gap. It’s not anti black. It’s anti gap.
Grow up. Everything is not about race. It’s getting your teeth fixed like everyone does.
🤣 Nicky I live for you!
I AGREE EVERYTHING IS NOT ABOUT RACE.
The funniest thing is, some few seasons later, she forced a white girl to go to the dentist to widen her gap tooth.
Remember the episode were the told the girl to sell their perfume while sitting in bath tub with water.
😩😩😩😩😩
A particular contestant refused cause it was too degrading so they sent her home.
Another episode were they told the contestants to wear fake bùtt pads and a particular contestant refused. She said she was a grown woman and she cant do that.
They sent her home that week.
Tyra banks is a terrorist.
I remember every clip. In a perfect world, these critiques wouldn’t be necessary, but Tyra was saying on camera what plenty of aspiring models are never told when they send in a headshot or leave an interview wondering why they’re never picked. Tyra was basically telling them it’s a cutthroat industry and they have to be prepared to make some sacrifices. She didn’t always say it in the kindest way, but kindness doesn’t boost ratings. I saw the same ugliness from Sunday’s Best judges and no one said anything. Why Tyra?
Tyra was literally colouring people’s eyebrows against their will.
Forcing girls to pose nùde
Remember that “I was rooting for u” clip?
Tyra yelling at a grown woman as if she’s a kid.
Tyra needs to get her àss beat .
I have to admit, the prize were fire
Contract with IMG modelling agency
Vogue Italia cover
100k cover girl cosmetic contract.
I loved the cover girl photoshoots and commercials.
Very fun.
Easy breezy beautiful COVER GIRL
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was such a fàg back in the day. Lol
Back in the day implies past tense. You’re the same as you were then
Clown be quiet.
🤡🤡🤡
Obsessed with me.
You’re obsessed with the users on this site. Seek help.
How many times TGJ going to say “lions share” this week….
Ingrate.
Lettin’ 🏠 arrest angst out, I see.
Tyra woulda deemed Slick’s mug alienesque, thus editorial, just to avoid calling her fugly. Not Tyra’s fault she looks like one of the Shark Tale’s fish.
Tv shows R dramatizations, hello?
Tyra Banks is not NOR has she ever been a SUPERMODEL.
Tyra Banks is the only person who thinks she was a threat to NAOMI CAMPBELL
Whew chile, this quarantine got you sensitive heaux bored AF and reliving past trauma, huh? LOL! And if ya’ll gone drag Tyra for some nearly 20 year old mess then why don’t ya’ll say anything about Naomi. She has said and done just as many questionable things on all the low-rated reality TV shows she’s done over the years but ya’ll kiss her behind all over social media!
Bcuz they didn’t know the coke-snorting, phone-throwing, assistant-hitting Naomi. Truth be told, girlfriend has rehabed her image like a pro. Few people know this fact: most times she was invited onto prestigious photo shoots or runway shows, her white model friends DEMANDED she be there. Namely Christy Turlington. If not for them, she prolly would never have been associated with the iconic 90’s modeling elite. Of course, she’d feel fierce competition from a green-eyed black newcomer booking 20 shows on her first try. Being a Gemini, of course she’s gonna lie about getting in Tyra’s face TO TYRA’S FACE in that (admittedly awkward) face-to-face they had (both recreating one another’s catwalk? Cringe!) I seened her sans weave or makeup and girlfriend is scarier than her much too protruding bunions.
Damn, looking at that scene now as an adult, it was very stupid and out of line. Smh.
Modeling is a very shallow industry, not so much now as it was back then. Tyra to me is only a reflection of the modeling word. A person should have this understanding if they want to be a model.
Just another attempt to down ay Tyra success and greatness by lying about stuff that’s traditional on shows like these..its modeling…its a version of the industry..she was actually doing a good thing ..she made them ready for real thing..the ind6 is actually 1000 x worse then the show..bt since she is a blk women she must get shredded to pieces its normal these days.
The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency was a more ruthless tv show, yet nobody cried foul. #SelectiveOutrage
