Tyra Banks Had a Hard Time Watching Season 1 of ANTM 

Only season one? Girl take several seats. Y’all toxic and abusive af.

Im sorry Tyra, but season one was propably youre Best one. You were more involved, gave actual usefull feedback and at least it looked like you actually wanted those models to succeed.

The way nothing she says ever sounds genuine.

The last "including me" was corny.

So why did she make them race to climb stairs in a skyscraper in Season 3? The girls then had to take a photo out of breath, exhausted, and even vomiting.

She’s so full of it

It wasn't just season 1 that was toxic. It was pretty much all seasons. And I don't believe that Tyra has changed one bit since then. She cn say whatever she wants. Truth is, she probably wouldn't change a thing she did or said.

Tyra is just a bad, manipulative person, she knew exactly what she was doing.

Dude, Tyra needs to take a long look at her actions all the way up until 2021. She did WAY WORSE than this crap.

She won't even admit it

The fact that she never once took accountability for her toxic ass actions!? Is jarring to me

Yeah, she is not remorseful in the least. This mean girl was not going through a phase, it is her nature

Tyra was a deity to me when I was a child. I survived childhood and teen years because of Tyra.

I don't think Tyra can have a conversation without bringing up her mom.

"I couldn't even remember (all the abuse we did) that we did this"

I know she is dramatic, but she sounds like she is acting in this interview.

That’s not even close to one of the worst things she’s done. Someone pull out the tapes of her making girls do blackface and appropriate cultures.

Let’s not forget the painting of girls in black face…😂I lived for this shit though reality tv willl never be the same

Again she doesn’t take accountability she is a master at not really apologizing sincerely I still can’t believe after all this time she hasn’t really truly apologized

Yeah and then right after she was mad at a girl for gaining like 10 lbs and body shaming her.

I absolutely agree with her, she evolved into being more abusive, and treating contestants as shit.

The same people commenting on this section are the same ones who loved to watch it. Don’t act like every single other reality tv show was not toxic…. They all were!

Um...missing the point. TYRA...it is because you did it on national television...when you did it amongst models it was private. 😅

Tyra banks was super racist and messed up to all the black girls ... You felt that self hate all through out that show

Nice try there to cover your hiney, Tyra. I’m so glad that today’s young people are calling out this BS; there might be hope for us.

It's called work...not fantasy camp... If you happen to work in an industry that looks at those things... That's what you're going to be critiqued on. If that upsets you there are plenty of other industries.

Just season 1, Yyra?? What an abusive psycho...

Each cycle had something offensive rather it was a remark, photoshoot, challenge or critique.

She always be trying too hard. I can still see Naomi looking at her like why is this such a big deal for you.

Meanwhile the models are still measured and nothing has changed in the modelling industry! It is how it is. Models are still expected to be skinny

Because of how much of sheep everyone becomes just for a check

They've had the girls "Weigh In" on camera I think the first 4 cycles. Not sure if they did it on cycle 3 tho.

Shes just protecting her image. Classic self serving narcissist . She's as "nice" as Ellen

Ok but why are we blaming Tyra for a male dominated modeling industry standard?? Has THAT changed in 20 years?? LV,and Chanel and em don't care about weight now? Are we interrogating them? because she was telling her contestants how to become a top model and you had/have to be thin,right?Why is it so difficult to place blame where it's due?

I dont see what's wrong with weighing and taking height, what's the problem with that?

Ooh she dancin

Yall want her to feel so bad but this show obly ran for so long because of the fans so who is really wrong. You didnt have to watch or support.

Hi Tyra watch season 4 pls

The entire show had nothing to do with the real model industry, what are you even talking about?? It was always sensationalized to the extrem.

Yea

Tyra, you are fine. If many many many people are fine with Trump, what you did and didn't do was nothing compared to him. FACT.

I don’t understand everyone’s whining about how Tyra operated this show. This is literally exactly what’s done in the industry and Tyra was probably treated even worse than these girls she auditioned, considering that she’s been in the game way longer. Tyra became a model back in the late 80’s I believe where racism was a really big thing, so to hear a lot of you guys whine about how these girls were treated is laughable. I do believe they made a lot of harsh comments and some of the things that were done may have been inappropriate, but the modeling industry is a real beast and you realllyyyy need to be strong to handle it. I think Tyra was equipping these women with the knowledge and the backbone to do it.

Why all the Tyra hate?

🙄😒🙄😒😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 they measure you they did not weight you ever... especially on initial go-sees.

Now thats growth i love tyra❤

She's too animated and over the top with her expressions.. maybe a defense mechanism.. 😆 No accountability no apologies..only dramatic explanation..

Nah, nobody buys her lies

exactly👏🏻 modeling is harsh, and if you can’t take that… that’s your problem

Always making excuses 😂 can never take accountability for anything.

Girl, bye.

I love how she took accountability and evolved with us all👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Love you girl!

Wow 😮 smh

I don't care for tyra... But one aspect of what she said was true... All of the things That we're done on top model we're actually done *back In the day* But by the same token , I believe that tyra got much joy in terrorizing these girls as she herself had been terrorized.

Tyra is the bomb diggity. She is so strong for coming forward to say when she's wrong.

Tyra was toxic

It was a great show. I loved watching it and still do. I believe Tyra is great!! She was highly involved in every episode and it showed. Times were different back then so thungs change. However, going back in time to play moral police on a show that was hugely popular serves no purpose. It's so stupid and childish. Need to focus on what is wrong with society today. Nobody is perfect🙄

She is so fake.

Tyra is right
