Yaya DaCosta praises Amara La Negra and slams Tyra Banks & ANTM over natural hair comments 

Pull over! it's da popo's! I could have slap that bitch for saying that.

Honestly his criticism was almost racist sounding and highly offensive

@@clchawaii09 Can you blame her for feeling comfortable enough to say such stuff? When even Tyra later on said _"there's a difference between explaining yourself and being defensive"._ Tyra, as a woman with african roots, should have defend Yaya at this point from this shitty _"trying to prove your africaness"_ comment. But no, even Tyra threw Yaya under the bus. I'm not going to excuse that ladies beyond stupid comment - but I also blame Tyra for letting such ridiculous comments pass.

Her skin speaks for itself. So glad glad she said what she said and how she said it: cool, calm, educated and savy.

Straightening it is more trying to prove something than just being yourself. How about she simply finds beauty in what she was given?

I also remember that it too. It was my favorite season. I loved tocara bc she wasn’t a stick. She was STUNNING. With this scene, I literally remember my sister and I looked at each other and said, “did Tyra really just tell her she can’t be ‘too black’??? That’s messed up.”

YoungSimba Fellow American Cameroonian here. We are beautiful people and I embrace my shade and my culture just like you.

YoungSimba We shouldn't have to live up to society's European standards of beauty. I have relatives who come in all shades and backgrounds. But it hurts when I see my relatives and other fellow Africans bleaching their skin just because they feel they're not pretty or good looking enough to be in their own skin. And this is all because of the media's and standard of beauty. They say we have to look like Beyonce and Rihanna in order to make it if we're black which is sad. I won't tell anybody what to do with their skin or body, but I feel like if you're trying to change who you are because of what the media says you should be then you're letting them control your life and making you feel insecure. To me real beauty is embracing the skin you were born in and not conforming to what others have to say.

YoungSimba And you're welcome.☺️

Chronicle Speaks me too. I was always with ya ya and I love how she keep getting jobs after the season ended. I remembered she was pissed. Also when one photographer or model was very racist to one of the girls in another season. I think they were in Italy but can't remember. Tyra and the others did not stick up for her.

thatgirlyanara meanwhile Janice Dickinson can say and do anything and it’s funny..

On point.

RIGHT WTF ! She wasn’t defensive at all ! WTF

That’s just ignorance ! Dark skinned women speaks up she’s “aggressive “ tryna should have fucking stopped them from speaking on the outside looking in her dumb ass doesn’t know what they’re saying about ya ya is how they feel about ALL of us ? What’s wrong with embracing our blackness ? We’re Already criticized for being black !

I watch just the clip I'll n the video and it's so true what you said. She did not seem to be defensive, she seemed hurt and just trying to explain herself.

Deebah exactly. To think she had fro on that same day too. That woman is twisted in the head

ikr? she looked stupid for saying all that stuff to yaya

Right I didn’t understand that at all.

Deebah being "Defensive" is Natural(pun intended) when being unfairly and ignorantly attacked!

XxGot7BTSFanxX Yes, Tyra got a whole fro on top of her head and telling yaya that her style is not fashionable nor cultural appropriate. As long as we wear our inches that’s acceptable, but Afros and braids is off the market not buying into that European lie. Glad we are woke now verse back then. Amera Lanergia rock your natural beauty to the fullest hunny. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Why? that happened like 15 years agos.

Markai Bombness because they're all about drama.

Yes

+Jordyn Taylor 😄😄💡

C Merritt yes! Miss high and mighty. She wanted to embrace her blackness when it was her versus Naomi. YAYA had every right to be defensive. Stupid bitxh!

Right. Shes wearing as a prop. Not as a celebration of Black hair.

Lil Bearie maybe cycle 1 was more than enough lol?

Tyra is full of bullshit. She's clearly contradicting herself & making herself look dumb af

S Lael GIRRRRRLLLL

Tyra's afro is ridiculous. She is the one who looks bad. Yaya is way more beautiful and amazing than her. Viola Davis... I'd go gay for her. She is stunning.

cranberry soda ikr!!! There was nothing defensive about her response either.. They aut to be ashamed for saying those things to her ! And im sure many other episodes and real life situations😒😔

cranberry soda yep that is why I stopped watching her show and anything that I know she is behind I will not support

Tyra girl, this is not cute.

To this day I don’t understand what “defensive” actually means. Are you not entitled to speak up for yourself if you feel like you are being misunderstood?? Smh

cranberry soda gaslighting 101. Attack and then retreat so when you come back to defend, they call you defensive or abrasive or angry. Like it came out of nowhere.

And the guy who said it has a lot of nerve considering fact that he's gay & has foreign roots himself!!😒

I cannot believe we let this shit fly back then!!! 😱

I felt that was lowkey racist for him to say smh

Rae Love did you see the mother of that H&M add defending & telling people to get over it? SMH

+Swizzy Lifestyle (Swizzy) I agree!

Naomi would of said something . 😂😂😂

Me too ...lol

The fashion industry is ran by whites. So she had to tone down her African heritage to conform white standards of beauty. So they can sell their white products to the African community

She’s not Brazilian

Agree, why we can not embrace our own heritage in public instead of hiding what God created. Yes, the industry will accept someone with European roots over African roots it’s sad. Back then how Tyra gonna tell ya ya to stop wearing her natural hair but got a whole fro on top of her head.

she’s Dominican

Amanda C she has Brazilian heritage

YES! They were not ready for her to be so beautiful AND smart and outspoken. I am glad she did not let their ignorance keep her down.

Period.

Truth

Waaaay over their heads!

Yaya is way prettier than the judges. Yaya has this innocent look and pure heart. The judges seem so commercial and impersonal.

that was literally the first thing i said to myself. before she even opened her mouth. smhhh...a walking , talking contradiction. a fool

A fake afro though

Exactlyyy

Please watch the show again. She didn't attack her afro.

She's a jealous witch! Crazy woman

Yeah and ironically other races took from our culture and benefited from it. Love to hate us but not our hairstyles, plump lips, brown skin tones, attire, music etc..Those things make up us..some folks are just idiots..

True!!!!

Im not worried about other cultures. Im worried about my own. Black people are an oppressed people. We are disliked by a lot of people, treated unfairly, even murdered for little to no reason. Treated like garbage yet contributed so much to this planet and not get recognized and praised for it nearly as much as we should. That's the angle my comment was coming from.

yana212 especially some black people (men)!

What the fuck is this world coming to Tyra clearly stood their with a Afro how much of a Hypocrate could she have been she is clearly wearing a Afro what is wrong this would is coming to a end people better stop keeping their mouths closed and speak up for what is right how dare Tyra Banks she is old news anyway I can stand her no more she is judgemental and clearly got her show going she kisses white people's butts.

As if she shouldn't be defensive at a white women telling her that her blackness is too much! She wasn't even as defensive as would have been justified for that!!! Tyra clearly wanted to knock Yaya down a peg.

Her skin and hair proves her "African-ness" alone, she literally doesn't have to try🤦🏾‍♀️ those judges just mad ignorant

That makes me angry everytime!

Black is beautiful

Anti-Blackness. Anti-African 🤦🏾‍♀️

👍

Yes

yassss

Lol yaasss! They were so shady, lol.😆

They gave me life!!!!

It reminds them of the God factor

@@Traytriunetheomnist Tyra is a stone trip

I feel like Tyra got intimidated by beautiful, strong and confident African American women. She seemed to always find a way to put them down or eliminate them. Tyra is a narcissist.

okaygirl141 Tyra couldn’t understand why designers liked Naomi more. Naomi’s face & features were/are gorgeous & she was the better high fashion model. Tyra is colorist.

The force cometh exactly black and white

Monica Lyons Exactly! I'm confused 😳

A WHOLE FRO! LIKE BITCH??

Monica Lyons favorite comment!!!!

She's sick in the head

Monica Lyons a WHOLE FRO!!! SMH 🤦🏽‍♀️

Ohhhh we know!

Oh I agree!!

Exactly...

I was disgusted at Eva for laughing👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

that’s why Tyra didn’t like her, was probably jealous.

yep lived Ya ya Harlem world uptown baby

Olympo Contreras exactly cause Naomi had no beef with all the other black Models so Tyra must have done something

Tyra is a mean girl but Naomi is that bitch.

@@mobrown7594 please, naomi is a bitch

Jacqulin Simmons yeah that was straight manipulation

We didn't SEE the entire process only an episode each week. Yaya was s bit annoying cuz she was all pro AFRICAN, but got offend when she wore that cowboy outfit. She was arrogant in a covert way.

Indi Genius arrogance can be covert? No one wants to see someone trying to suppress the fact that they think they are great. Thinking you are great is not the only state of arrogance

nltcraze Yes. Arrogance can be covert to answer your question.

Facts! Me too. I remember this episode very much so, and I was 15 at the time. So grateful this never changed my viewpoint on my African roots and how I choose to look! Smh

Ameerah Jones right sis!!!✊✌

Me too! I loved Tyra back in the days of her talk show/ANTM now when I see old clips of her she seems to have low self esteem and she’s also passive aggressive. So nope, she’s done.

That's real! Once we know better, we do better! We all have cringe-worthy moments in our past or things we let slide because we weren't privy back then. I remember not liking it originally but now watching it again, I hate it!

Right????!!!!! Right!!!!????

@Krystal Henry cutting their hair and forcing them to look different. Some would even cry. Looking back, that was just awful.

I’m glad light skinned tears aren’t seen over dark/brown skinned pain anymore

Building ModelLand, which we all know is going to crash and burn.

Grace Turner but she calls Naomi the bully the absolute cheek of her man

Lee Sto she still doesn’t like Tara even though there’s no competition between them

Naomi wouldn't allow THAT!! She would have set the record straight with those judges!!

Team Naomi never a kiss ass

And while she wore a 'fro...I think that was the worst part for me.

Naomi kept quiet too 😒

Nah they were straight up racist. ‘Riding a giraffe’ is 100% racist.

And a white woman insulting her Africanness while wearing a tan. The irony

With her huge fake fro.

Tyra is a product of buying into white supremacy. She would always go on and on giving compliments to unattractive or average at best ww but always less encouraging to bw. Do not like Tyra. She is phony and overly made up. She allowed Janice Dickinson and others like her to say inappropriate things to the young bw. I am glad people are starting to see how Tyra is

@@mercedes7811 Thank you!!👏👏👏✊👊💪

@okaygirl141 or so you think

Wait a minute Tyra hair was in a Afro lol

Tyra was showing those girls who you have to become to succeed amongst those with power. none of those people on the panel are their original selves. the industry is a cruel beast and unimaginable personal sacrifices are dropped on those who reach her levels and above. but you also end up tough as nails.

CarmeloValoy I know hundreds of black women and NOT one worship Tyra Banks. You may need to go to a video praising Tyra to make that comment bro.

And also being part of the problem

Baby Girl I watched the episode back in the day.. and it had nothing to do with her hair they were talking about the cowboy outfit she was wearing. People always trying to make shit up.. tyra NEVER try to shame black women for having natural hair.. when she had her talk show she was one of the person who brought awareness to the subject and push the natural hair agenda.. but whatever y'all black females will always be the first to hate on another black woman while talking about so called black girl magic girl bye👋

Tina Thomas Right!!! The nerve of Janice who altered her entire face. Girl bye

✊🏼

Plus .Janet Dickinson was stoned out of her mind.

True😢😓

I felt the same💔 I have NOT been able to be a fan of Tyra... NOPE!!

😆

Kente is actually an import from Europe. It wasn't selling there so they took it to Ghana where it sold like hotcakes.

@@jckholmes9194 Kente is from Ghana. We weave it but others started imitating it by printing the designs. The authentic one is woven in Ghana. I know the ones you are talking about and Kente is different from those

Nadroj Anwar you’re talking about ankara wax prints. Kente cloth is west African. They’ve been weaving it for centuries

Nadroj Anwar *snort* that’s a lie.

Y'all are doing too much talking about how Ghana's been doing it for centuries when Ghana is not even centuries old. Lolol There are authentic indigenous African clothes and patterns kente clothe ain't one of them though.

situpeh antm made me very much dislike her.. i still watched it tho smh

TheKendroShow Very well said. I'm not natural like you, but I love my hair & the kinks from it. My mom & grand-mom, always told me, to never be ashamed of it, whether it's braids, perms, weave, or wigs.

your "young goofywood" moniker so fits..lol

TheKendroShow BUT Tyra has a diverse crop of winners , eva caramel COMPLEXION with hazel eyes, Daniel a southern girl, Saleisha stowers a light skin girl Teyana a chocolate girl Krista another chocolate girl n a row.... If anything the show doesn't embrace WOMAN of colors HAIR !!! BUT THEY EMBRACE WOMAN OF COLOR COMPARED TO OTHER MODELING SHOWS

The natural comments wasn't about her hair. the word natural had a different connotation in 2004. This was before # movements and melanin pages. The natural comments were about her make up and presentation. But yes, Tyra's anti-african comments were out of pocket.

Javan uHnah They didn’t have to specifically comment on her hair to know it was ALSO about her hair. Her whole vibe from head to toe was “natural”. They weren’t ONLY talking about her not wearing makeup & her African style. Her hair was definitely included in that even though the judges (from what we know and what was edited) were also referring to her hair.

Yep, same.

Me too

Yes when she yelled at Tiffany I was done.

Tyra went too far when she yelled at Tiffany .That did it for me too ..Tyra is canceled to the fullest.

Yes a long time ago!

Talisha C TYRA told them to say that, janice Dickinson said Tyra give them the cruel things to tell the girls then She would come in and comfort them to seem like the good guy.

Shawn Loewenberg - I would hope that isn’t true 😪 cause that’s even worse

Shawn Loewenberg Disgusting

It’s a way of showing your roots and still being glam

Editing

KeepinitRealLiz, yea I was like 11 or 12 when I saw that episode so I didn't understand it, now that I'm older and alot more conscious Im offended by it

Me too but I was so young. Wow

Lol funny/shady that she used the Naomi GIFs during the Tyra bit

I wasn't young when that Cycle 3 of ANTM aired I was 29 the same age as Tyra and it was difficult to watch Tyra deal with Yaya in the manner she was the entire season. It made me less of a Tyra fan and my sister and I have clowned Tyra ever since....Yaya was our choice to win but we KNEW the producers would not go that route...anyway. Times have changed -- I don't think she would be dealt with like that today for expressing her individuality and culture

Cass G That's why I love Naomi and Iman and could care less about tyra.

In Igbo language it mean most 'beautiful'and in another Nigerian tongue it means 'all knowing' Africans have the most beautiful names

@Omara Oliver In a Nigerian language your name Omara means knowledgeable

Actually it is spelled "Amhara"

@@brendannokam4167 in the igbo language which i speak fluently, Amaka means beautiful and Amara means grace

_thats not her real name or her real Afro._

That's the irony

ramcurequeeny but it was still a fro whether it's natural or not

Fabalocious Dee Yeah she should have won but maybe its good she didnt after tyras and the judges offensive remarks...Ya Ya is absolutely gorgeous!

Renee Myricks speak truth!

rose dickerson AMEN!

Grows like nature; towards the sun

That's POWERFUL ish right there ❤

Renee Myricks yes ✊

💛🌼🐝🌻🍯

right she's beautiful

Me 😂😂 everyone is getting aired out

Wait, what happened?

divaquana right?! There was time on her show where she told people that if they ate bread with butter, salt and pepper, it'd taste like chicken. Lol!

Yessss.... I was just talking abput that..but come see billboards in toronto with this white women with a HUGE gap in her teeth..flaunting it. Smdh!!

1 season she had a girl shave her teeth to widen her gap.

imsunshine child 😂😂😂

Hlumelo Petros that's why I cannot stand Tyra. She's full of sh it. She criticized ppl but when you criticize her she gets all upset. She says ppl tore her down in her early modelling years now she's doing the same to other young girls. Tyra is full of shit

Virgochic84 not mines. . . I thought on it and was confused.

Not mine...it made me sad and disappointed in the definition of beauty and fashion standards.

Not mine either. I was heated and totally agitated how Tyra appeared offended at the judge attacking Yaya for her African-ness but then on the same hand Tyra turned right around and co-signed the judge's criticism with that passive suggestion to not look so natural because "anybody can look like that", but think more glamorous as if being natural can't be glamorous. Ugh she pissed me all the way off!

Some of us were literally 10 at the time so it went over our adolescent heads.... Jeez.

It sure did, and that was one of my favorite seasons !

Ruth Frank 7

Theres a reason blacks get fake hair on them, their African hair looks burnt and nappy

You are very wrong there.We do it because we love and embrace different styles we don't always wear the same things all the time we like to switch it up sometimes plus getting certain types of fake hair such as box braids could actually help grow out hair if some of us have hair problems or some of us just like being different and actually like the way it makes us look and the way it makes some of us us feel .-Have a blessed Day.

Destiny Bennett :/ Some are like that.... some aren't like that at ALL. I personally know 'victims' (use that term loosely) of self-hatred. It is incredibly unfortunate to hear and see supposed 'women' of color compare their strands and locs to others. I've definitely heard so-called grown adults talk poorly about how one's texture isn't "good". That "nappy hair NEEDS a perm". You NEED to be quiet. You NEED to work on your internal struggles. How it starts with little girls. "Kiddie perms" and miniature sized pressing combs. They are taught to be ashamed of what naturally grows out of their own heads. Talking about "good hair" equating it to wavy or loose curly hair... What THE HELL?!?!?!?!?! IT'S NOT RIGHT. NOT RIGHT AT ALL.

Ehhh. Amara ain't all natural. She's enhanced her looks but natural she is not

Jazznextdoorr yeah that season was rough!

Jazznextdoorr I've seen the entire clip and I think this video takes it out of context. They are not criticizing her for her natural hair or trying to embrace her African culture. They were criticizing her for trying to be different than the stereotypical "African" by wearing a cowboy hat instead of an fake African themed hat. Still unfair, but for different reasons.

Mia L YEA THATS EXACTLY WHAT THE HELL THEY WAS DOING tara FULL OF SHIT ! THEY WILL NEVER TELL becky she BEING TO FUCKIN white FOH!

Clodia Frazil Tyra needs to fix that BIG ASS FOREHEAD

PJ News Yaaazzzza 😂🤣😭

Damn Tyra. You put another black woman down for embracing who she is and loving her natural self. Wow i missed that part. Not a good look Tyra not at all. Smdh.

Chi Rose its just a prop to her

I agree.

PREACH!!!!! ♡

Thank you ..

Not possible. They love to attack us.smh

Ms Bronze Goddess this is SO TRUE💯

I know! That's the definition of a true black woman to me. Strong, beautiful, and educated! She gave them the utmost truth and with class.

Live and learn right. Hindsight helps us to become a better version of ourselves each and every day. Never stop learning, never stop improving, never stop growing.

Very much agreed

Cauzin Diem ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

Cauzin Diem Say That!

One Word PREACH!

Absolutely Black/African and beautifully proud

THANK YOU HANDSOME!👏🏿👏🏾👏🏽👏🏼👏🏻

You're wrong. I don't hate anyone for skin color. I love an afro too.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Don't believe that non-sense. Black women are despised openly but are loved secretly, let that marinate.

hahaha....girl... skin that absorbs sunlight, hair that defies gravity. we da motherfucking Shit girllll...if they dont like it, they can suck my ass LOLOLOL

@@daisylicious101 i like that

Me too! lol

Shepards Girl she has a Barbie coming out, I want it

Shepards Girl forreal!!!

Shepards Girl I’m buying 10 of em and giving them to the little girls in my life and saving one for my future daughter.

Shepards Girl You know what? I just made a similar comment on a Terry Swoop video.

Ashley Gordon I actually wanted yaya to win that season. But after that challenge the panel seemed to be pushing for Eva to win

Badgurlbeauty true as if they already had their winner. I too loved both Yaya and Eva... they also painted yaya as a villain .. smh

Exactly

Word

This is the truth. I remember that season and didn't realize how harsh they were back then. I guess loving myself now made me realize the hate of black features back then because man it was so cringey to watch.

@Muse Verdant she is not biracial

Ok here's the real tea. Tyra Banks was told many years ago that her nose was too ethnic. So Tyra got a nose job and she went on to get a lot of modeling jobs . She sold her soul long time ago!.Tyra is a mixed African American woman. Lighter skinned and green eyes are some indication of her racial identity.

Muse Verdant Both of her parents are Americans of African descent she’s not mixed.

@@debrajames6316 that must be that Dollar Tree tea you got. There are black people with light eyes from America to Africa lol and she is not mixed.

debra james that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard in my life

FYI, Rumor had it that cover girl picked the winner ahead of time each season which kinda explains why Tyra was that way.

omg you're absolutely right

Cover girl chose a diverse cast of winner lil shade.... However I think the show never Ever embraced when of colors hair specifically and THATS TRAGIC

Sure they did! 50 shades of beige 😆 😂 😆

She said because people would think that she was bias side eye. If a compliment is deserved.....it should be given. PERIOD

OMG, the panel claimed YaYa was being "defensive" about being Black. Damn, they rip into her for going for the natural look... what was YaYa supposed to do... apologize for being Black?

MLima Rosebud i thought it was wrong then snd still today that was my season i stop watching ntm when achoryia did not make it said she wad too big but the selected a plus size white girl i think it was the next season so i was through with trya and her fakeness

lovi vaughn Thank you! As a child, I was upset with this. And the same as a woman, NOW. DISGUSTED. I didn't like the way they spoke to 'plus-size' competitors neither! It was gross, to say the least.

Summer D well wearing different hairstyle is really not a bad thing , Taylor swift is white she mostly wear straight hair , because taylor swift look better with straight hair and straight hair more glamorous

random stuff straight hair is more glamorous in your opinion. That's what everyone is complaining about dumb ass people who have a European standard if beauty and can't see that natural is glamorous.

GoodOlAllisonHarvard 14yrs of living will teach you.

Yes Eva was a mess! I couldn’t stand her ass during cycle 3

Taniky Hylton Smh, only to them down I'm surprised nobody told her that she looks like an 👽

loiba Naomi can’t stand Tyra.

Aisha Maryam , I cried too . I can’t believe I didn’t pick that up when I watched. I was a kid then but as a grown woman, this will not be tolerated. Tyra is cancelled. That’s why she hasn’t been a lasting name in the industry like Naomi. Always complaining about how others treated her and she treated Yaya like this to prove something to white people.

this hurt me too now that I'm older. It hurt more coming from tyra herself. I didn't expect the other judges to understand yaya, that was a given in this situation trust. Yaya had every right to be defensive you can tell she wanted cry🖤🖤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾love yaya for being who she is. Overall I ain't mad I haven't cared for tyra over the years it is what it is💁🏾‍♀️

Crazy...agreed

Bridgette smith fuck what people do or say be you because you r beautiful!!

I haven't got the black panther line just the "Is that your real hair ?"

You must have no clue how many black women there are in the world. It's absolutely much lower than 90%. This is my profession and your extremely false statistic is problematic. Every time I meet anyone that says the things you just said, they're ignorant and very misinformed, not to mention uncultured. Don't give opinions you know nothing about.

Our hair is a symbol of resistance and means you don't succumb to western beauty standards . Big up sis !

Because being black is offencive according to Tyra in her white friends

Farrah Array 💙

How, she was wearing an afro too in the same video. I think she just wanted yaya to be more glamorous rather than plane jane. Wearing an afro is not the problem. Wearing it in a loose ponytail with ill fitted jeans is.

I didn't see anything wrong with what Yaya was wearing ...But yet Tyra was standing wearing an afro wig while she was judging Yaya🙄..Maybe Yaya should've just wore a tank top ,some jeans and her afro without the hat..

And she has a white baby

Will ask me no Tyra Banks did end up marrying a snowflake mail with one or two beautiful snowflake children I'm just saying yes she is a real sell-out all that talk about someone appearance and when she's black as a damn trunk goal herself I can stand to be around her cuz she would have got a punched in her mouth and I would have had some Louboutins on my hand wish you would have deserved to get that punch in her mouth Tyra Banks this is for you you are what they call a damn Uncle tongue black b**** you want to be so Superior but you have to answer to someone to above all of us you should be a shame of yourself putting another sister down you did not have to go there you acted like you was God gifted I used to look at your shows back in the days and you were very criticism remember for you Tyra Banks you used to be big as a bull in the world makes fun of you now don't you feel that what they put down where you should have paid attention when you put that sister down that's a hurting thing what goes up must comes down peace

Exactly I'm a tennage black male and rock the fro every day. The girls seem to like it 😎.

Tv don't like to see black women in their natural state.

@@kimberlydill8059 No they don't. The more they can make you doubt your natural beauty, the more "beauty products" they can sell you.

+justcallme... Amen!

Empress Bahbie my favorite season. This episode pissed me off. I remember it clear as day. Like how dare you disrespect her like that. Yaya has always been a natural girl and will always be. The fact that they tried to make her feel bad, unworthy, unpretty because of her culture is just awful. Then had he audacity to scold her on being defensive when they were just highly disrespectful! Uggh now I’m mad lol.

Yes it was.

Yeah, their season was the best season!

True!

Kimberly Clayton right and I didn't know until last year that she's had a nose job all this time

It was years ago more than a decade to honest , people change. What she said was bad but it was years ago

That video broke my heart. Absolutely disgraceful disgusting and embarrassing of Tyra ... 🙄

Me neither

Me either. I would always have respect for her for being one of the biggest black models in the industry but I dont think I want to support her anymore. I was gonna watch the new ANTM but not anymore

Ojanique Good luck on your journey sis! And remember it's your hair so do what you want and best for your hair MAKE YOUR OWN RULES!!! You don't have to buy/use the latest and hottest products neither OUR MOM/GRANDMA DIDN'T! You can save yourself from becoming a product junky by not getting caught up in these RU-vid videos talking about such and such products that claim to be great for natural hair. Most of them had it sent to them by the company to be product tester. Just do the following but plz also do your own research. 1. Use less heat 2. Get regularly trim(depends on when your hair need it) 3. Protective styling ( hair grow better because you're not messing with it so therefore your hair not stressing it in return retaining length) 4.deep condition after every wash Do a protein treatment once a month or every other month. Don't forget to use condition after shampoo. 5. MOST IMPORTANTLY..... MOISTURIZE YOU HAIR!!!!!!KEEP IT MOISTURIZE
