Tyra needs to set an example. If she is host of America’s Next Top Model, then she needs to look and maintain the part. Period.

I think it’s great shes finally standing up for herself, and talking about how horrible shes been treated. Shes a beautiful woman, people need to leave her alone and let her be happy. Oh by the way 161lbs. is not alot of weight for someone who is so tall, it might be alot to some people but thats only because we aren’t 6ft.+. Tyra looks great, so what if there are a few unflattering photos of her, we all have some we are not proud of.

Tyra, don’t GRACE them with your hurt. You are a more beautiful woman today than you ever were. Thanks for being natural!

Just this week on the news was the death of a model who had virtually starved herself.. then now they’re saying Tyra is ugly because she gained some weight… I don’t understand the standards by which people are judge.. if you are too skinny it makes the news.. if you are’normal’i.e not ridiculously skinny then you’re considered fat!!

And they wonder why the’re eating disorders….. They need to watch that programmed ran recently (can’t remember the name) of (mainly girls) that were in a facility for people with eating disorders!!!

just leave the woman alone , all those people out there talking bout she fat , don’t have half or have not accomplished a half that she has in her entire life , they are all just haters thats all and need to step back , always having a critical eye on everything , god made us to be comfortable in our own skin, so if she is comfortable in hers , who are you and i to say different.

Just Leave tyra alone.

It’s a shame in our society that to have womanly curves is called “fat.” She looks beautiful, what real women look like.

I cannot stand Tyra Banks. She has chosen a profession that (unfortunately or fortunately) praises people for being skinny. She CRITICIZES the models on her show if they do embody what a “model” is. And what is a model in our world today? A walking hanger. Tyra thrives on attention and seems to me the most self-involved celebrity on TV today. How does she not expect to be judged when she puts herself out there in some many media outlets? Is Tyra fat? That’s not a question I can answer. What I can say is-if anyone else had gained thirty pounds and looks like she does on TV, they would have been fired a long time ago. She needs to learn to take it if she can dish it out.

Tyra, please do not let the turkeys get you down.You are a lovely woman.Some of those trashy mags have nothing better to do than write such crap…I think that you can see from all these comments here,that you are. Keep all these good, warm,loving thoughts with you.
