I was there but I wasn?t there. It was so different for me. I don?t know anything about designer clothes, and it was kinda like I had to try to fit in and figure it out. Even with makeup, I felt really out of place.

Every time I did something wrong, I?d shut down a little bit more, and it just got to the point where I was over it. I felt like we were just there to be humiliated. It was like, ?What else could we do to them??

According to Richardson, the argument was ?1,000 times worse? in reality. She was hesitant to elaborate, but when pressed for more details, Richardson said she recalled Banks yelling at her, ?You can go back to your house and sleep on your mattress on the floor with your baby,? in front of the other judges, contestants, and crew members.

Quote
Producers did another exit interview with Richardson as a way of ?buttoning up? her storyline. According to Cocks?s recollection of the decision, Banks ?basically drove that train.? The concern was that the story was essentially ?unfinished? without showing that Banks and Richardson had made amends.

So Banks, along with her mother, Carolyn London, visited Richardson while she was in her hotel room, which former contestant Rebecca Epley confirmed, though she wasn?t present for the conversation. Richardson said that the contestants had met London earlier in the competition and that she loved how ?warm her spirit was? because it reminded Richardson of her grandmother. In hindsight, Richardson saw London?s presence in her hotel room as a way for Banks and the producers to make her feel more comfortable for the closing interview they had planned. According to Richardson, Banks recognized that they had a ?moment,? said she saw a lot of herself in Richardson, and said she would continue to act as her mentor. ?You would think that if you cared that much, you would?ve been there more,? Richardson said. ?I didn?t think she cared. I don?t think she gave a **** about none of us, except for the ones who made it big. But hey, it is what it is.?

Quote
I?m a completely different person. She doesn?t  owe me anything. I?m good. If I would?ve took advantage of the situation, it was worth it ? but I knew nothing about [modeling]. I was just like in a whole new world ? I was young and crazy, I didn?t get it.

Quote?You can go back to your house and sleep on your mattress on the floor with your baby,?

Once Richardson was back in Florida, she said Banks, as well as her assistant, contacted her ?maybe three or four times? via phone in the months leading up to the airing of her infamous elimination episode, aptly titled ?The Girl Who Pushes Tyra Over the Edge.? She said that Banks would ask her how she was doing, but that the conversations were superficial.

to promote her own music career

QuoteOnce the show was over Tyra didn?t even look at us nor speak to us she didn?t say a mumbling word I was shocked!! I?m a inspiring actress I?ve been an extra in movies and I do a lot of Red Carpet and film Festivals?

I?ve worked with Supermodel/Actress Beverly Johnson she came up to me and spoke and took pictures with me and thanked me for working with her show.. I?ve even had the chance to speak with and interview and take pictures with Actor Morgan Freeman, Helen Hunt, Charlize Theron, Michelle Rodriguez, and many others?and here I was on The Tyra Banks Show and she didn?t even bother to speak to any of us?

Tyra Banks is all about TV ratings she?s very fake when the camera start rolling she?s a completely different person so nice and seem so caring an humble but when the camera turns off it?s all about Tyra Banks and no one else. This saddens me

Quote
In an exclusive interview with Daily Mail Online the one-time winner has alleged that the depiction of Tyra Banks ? executive producer and judge ? as a caring, involved mentor to the girls is nothing but a sham, that Banks 'cynically exploits' the girls' stories' and is 'a stranger' the moment filming stops.
She hopes that by  example she will inspire other former contestants to speak up about the treatment they have received during and following America?s Next Top Model. She has a vision of them standing side by side ?like the victims of Bill Cosby.?
Preston has claimed that the girls were often forced to film for 16 or 17 hours without food or water and that for lengthy periods the contestants were 'put on ice' meaning they were not allowed to eat, drink or talk until called upon for filming. According to Angelea they were often kept in a holding room 'on ice' for hours on end, guarded by members of the production team.

QuoteShe said: 'I used to admire Tyra so much. I wanted to be like her. I don't want to be like her now. Tyra was non-existent. The only time we saw Tyra was at panel. Tyra never came in to talk to us personally.
'When the cameras stopped rolling it's like she's a stranger.'

QuoteWe were in Greece and I was so tired from doing the final runway that I became sick. I was throwing up, I was shaking. I have asthma so initially I thought I was having an asthma attack. So I'm breathing hard, I'm panting and they're getting all this on film.
'I'm dizzy. I'm like, "Where is the doctor?" I keep calling for the doctor. They have a doctor on set. Why is the doctor taking so long?'
She continued: 'I can't really see anything and I look and it's Tyra in front of me. She's like, "Are you okay?" I'm like, "no I'm not okay". She left then the executive producer came in and said, "We'll get you to hospital."'
It was only later Angelea said that she found out, 'They said this is the most exciting thing that has happened since we've been filming in Greece so we're going to let the cameras roll. They're letting the cameras roll to catch me in distress on purpose.
'When they could have sent the medic, the nurse who was right there outside. They wanted to catch me in distress and they wanted to get Tyra involved. She did not want to be involved at all. She didn't care that I was sick.'

QuoteFired ?America?s Next Top Model? judge Janice Dickinson doesn?t have the nicest things to say about her former boss Tyra Banks, according to Starpulse: ?She?s huge. She?s a big woman. I used to think she was a man. I used to look at her and think, ?Something isn?t right here.??

Dickinson was reportedly canned from ?America?s Next Top Model? for calling Banks ?fat.? And she?s not the first former supermodel to be sacked from the show: this summer Paulina Porizkova blogged for the Huffington Post about being fired in the spring of 2009.

Janice maybe onto something here guys

QuoteFormer Supermodel/Newly Fired ANTM Judge Paulina Porizkova gave a new interview, and she did not hold back when speaking of Tyra Banks and the Top Model franchise. Paulina accused Tyra of constantly being late to the set, and even accused the show of casting girls solely for the drama and not for their modeling abilities. The best quote of the interview ? ?Go to Top Model only if you don?t want to be a mode.

QuoteOf the three finalists, who do you think is the most likely to have an actual modeling career?
None of them.

Really? That?s sad.
I know. I?m really very sorry. But they?re not models. Look at the history of Top Model. When has a winner not fallen down into that great big hole where the other sock goes? When? That?s because you can?t pick models from a TV show. Those tall, long giraffe things that don?t really look real are rare freaks of nature. And finding a freak of nature with a personality, that?s like finding a double freak of nature. So you?d have a TV show once every 10 years.

QuoteYou announced this week that you aren?t coming back.
I didn?t announce that. I announced that I was fired on my birthday?April 9th They timed it beautifully.

Why did they let you go?
Well, they said that Top Model needs to trim the fat. So they cut me. It came as a little bit of a shock. I was a little upset that I was fired roughly four weeks before the new season was starting. I was being told to go have a physical for the show and then I got fired. I think they could have done that better.

Stupid recession.
Actually a lot of my friends from the show got booted, too. Makeup and hair people. And I shouldn?t say this because this sounds bitter. But if Tyra came in on time, they would save somebody?s salary. If she actually showed up on time for the judgings and they didn?t have to pay a lot of overtime, they would save a lot of money.

Do you think you did something to bring this on?
I did get pissy about Tyra being late a couple of times. I said, ?I don?t think that?s right.? And they told me I had a big ego. So maybe that had something to do with it.

If they ask you to come back as a guest judge would you go back?
No. I think there?s a little too much bad blood. I mean I don?t wish them ill. But do I want them to blossom without me? No. I?m not going to lie.


Do you have any advice for future auditioners?
Yeah. Go to Top Model only if you don?t want to be a model. These girls want to be models so desperately. And the fact is the show is not even looking for fashion models. They?re looking for personalities. It?s a Cinderella story. But [many of] the girls who succeed on the show won?t succeed [in the industry] because they?re not models. I have become friends with some of the models on the show and they actually have lost jobs when it came out that they were on America?s Next Top Model, because the fashion industry will not touch those girls with a ten foot pole.

So they have to hide the fact that they were on the show?
Yeah. And if you?re a winner you can just flush yourself down the toilet. Unless you marry a Brady, in which case you have a career.
