Tyra Banks on (Still!) Being ?Very Scared? of Naomi Campbell and Being Blacklisted for ?Getting Thicker?
?I got to Paris, and it was very difficult. I did really well really fast, but then the industry was saying, ?Oh, look out Naomi Campbell, here comes Tyra Banks! So Naomi Campbell, sit your butt down,? ? Banks explained. ?It wasn?t fair to Naomi, but her response was ? to this day, I?m very scared of her. It was very difficult. ? like some of my lowest times of my life ? dealing with that.?
They eventually made up on Banks? mid-?00s talk show (?I cried like a baby,? she confessed), but Campbell?s animosity wasn?t the only obstacle she had to overcome.
?My agents in Italy gave [my mom] a list of designers that did not want to hire me anymore because my body was getting thicker,? Banks says. ?And she showed me this list of designers and I just started crying and said ?Oh my gosh, Mommy, what do I do? Am I supposed to like starve myself? OK, maybe I won?t eat any bread anymore. Just salads with no dressing, salads for breakfast, lunch and dinner.'?
With her mom on her side, however, starving wasn?t an option. ??She says, ?You know what we?re gonna do? We?re gonna eat pizza.? And she took me to a pizzeria in Milan, Italy ? She said, ?You write down every client in this world that likes ass. Your ass is growing, and I?ll be damned if my baby starves herself for this industry. So we?re gonna go where your ass is going.? ? And the rest is history.

I believe Naomi was a bitch to her. Like seriously, Naomi told those white models that they aren't on her level and never will. :dead:
But I love Naomi and Tyra needs to let it go already.

QuoteThings weren't always great as a young woman in the modeling industry. There were people who told me, "no", people who told me I wasn't good enough, but my Mama was there for me through it all
vdgfdcjnmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrv
she say tha same thing ALL tha times
gorge' tho
I really think Tyra is overstating their comparison. Beverly Peele was younger and literally called Baby Naomi, but Naomi put her under her wing. And Beverly was much bigger in terms of runway and high fashion modeling. Tyra only did that for a little while, and only had a few covers compared to them.
But she is right that her mother gave her good advice. Tyra gained weight and got curvy. That led to Sports Illustrated and lucrative Victoria's Secret contracts, which was her bread and butter as a model (and Cover Girl).

never heard of this lady but she was gorgeous
Beverly and Brandi >>>>
Brandi was super young, too. May have been the first black model to star in a Chanel campaign. They stayed on Vogue covers. Tyra, not so much.
Both ended up with drug problems, though. And Beverly got pregnant young. SMH.

I just watched the video. Did she compare herself to Kate Moss? She's so delusional. lol
