Tyra Banks, Fat Photos
Unflattering pictures of Tyra appear on the internet
Photos of Tyra Banks, called "Tyra Banks is Fat," were published on a celebrity gossip website
Tyra Banks, the once supermodel, host of America’s Next Top Model and talk show host, has been blasted in the tabloids for gaining weight. Unflattering photos of her were published on a celebrity gossip website, which shows her in a one-piece bathing suit.
Since her modeling days, she has gained a few pounds- oh my! What she was most concerned about, though, was the way the media reacted and the public mocked her.
"It was such a strange meanness and rejoicing that people had when thinking that was what my body looked like. It was really hurtful to me," she tells People Magazine.
"I don't want to sit in front of you and be soap-boxy and fake and say, 'I love myself, I'm beautiful, it's great,'" says Banks, "I still feel hot, but every day is different. It's when I put on the jeans that used to fit a year ago and don't fit now and give me the muffin top, that's when I say, 'Damn!'"
Although she says she’s not the healthiest of eaters, she does eat well and take care of herself.
"I've made millions of dollars with the body I have, so where's the pain in that?" she says. "If I was in pain, I would have dieted. The pain is not there- the pain is someone printing a picture of me and saying those [terrible] things."
She’ll cover her experience in an upcoming show.
