Tyra says her goodbyes

by Michele Obi on November 23, 2005

Tyra Banks has said an emotional goodbye to the modelling industry and is steadily seeking to build the media empire she’s been dreaming about for a very long time.

The ex-model has also been trying very hard to show everyone how “human” she is. From pointing out her that her hair and eyelashes are fake, to showing on air the girdle she wears and confessing to cellulite. She has been relentless in telling us about her insecurities, which if you’re curious are detailed in her book Tyra’s Beauty Inside & Out. In the book Tyra covers a number of the criticisms she received in her earlier days of modelling, such as her large forehead and weight.

(“they called it a fivehead”) and her voluptuousness. Translation: “I was too fat.”

As much as Tyra wants a career in media it seems they don’t want her and the talkshow host has been branded self absorbed and accused of using her show (“The Tyra Banks Show.”) to deal with her issues, e.g: her feud with Naomi, and how real her breasts are.

All the same, Tyra was a great model, and will be missed…..

Tyra needs to give it up she uses her show americas next top model to show what a good model she was. Every show she relates a story to her past and shows one of her pics that relates to the photo shoot they are doing. It’s so annoying the shows supposed to be about the girls that are up and coming not about Tyra!!

I totally agree with you about Tyra’s talkshow being self absorbed. I always liked her for being real and down to earth, but her show made me question her. She doesn’t seem genuine. Although her show makes me cringe I can’t help watching little clips of it…I guess I love her as much as I love to hate her.
