Do you believe me now?
Nov. 14th, 2008 04:21 pmI don't know how I even came across this, but holy shit, you have to believe me when I say that Tyra Banks IS A BATSHIT CRAZY PSYCHO BITCH.
Oh yeah, way to motivate that girl, Tyra. Screaming at her and demeaning her for her good-natured, good-sportswoman-like resignation to losing your stupid fucking contest is totally the way to reform her "defeatist" attitude.
I've said it before, at great length, to captive audiences who squirmed mightily as I ranted and raved: Tyra Banks is a cocksucker. Her brand is supposedly about empowerment; what she's actually selling is "Listen to Tyra or Tyra will not listen to you. Support what Tyra says, or get the fuck out." She's a fucking diva who thinks that her ability to exploit our interest in women's bodies means she is some goddamned marketing genius. And I'm not at all exaggerating when I say she's DANGEROUSLY UNSTABLE. Holy fuck, welcome to Crazyville, population Tyra Banks.

Date: 2008-11-17 07:12 pm (UTC)And am laughing my head off!!!
A bit of background. I worked with Ms. Banks on a number of occasions, both in Bryant Park and Paris and I can say one thing, you people have no idea how ridiculous you are coming across...
Ms. Banks is one of the sanest, most intelligent, hard working models in the business. I saw that clip, and she is 100% right! This is not a "lark" this is not a parlour game! The business is cold, hard, and very very difficult to get into and even harder to stay in and make a success in. And you have a very very short window of opportunity to become a success before you "age out!"
Ms. Banks has been through some of the most incredibly horrible sh*t you can possibly imagine, I personally observed some of it, and she always handled events with class and tact and reasonable-ness that, quite frankly, had I been the target of, would have gone bat-shit ballistic over!
To wit, being thrown out of a show simply because she is Black and Beautiful, because Naomi Campbell wanted to be the ONLY Black woman on that stage at that time. Tyra didn't even bat an eyelash, not one tear!
I asked her later what the hell happened and why she reacted that way, it was so UNFAIR!
This is what she said: "It's BUSINESS, and I never take BUSINESS personally, you can never ever allow yourself to take it personal, and if you start finding yourself doing so, that's your cue to GET OUT; remember that!"
Now we are talking an incredible class act here, the only other one I met in that business who even came close was Cindy Crawford...
and BTW, Tyra got her revenge too (just wait long enough...) when Campbell self-destructed over her addiction to a certain illicit substance, that I refer to as the "Devil's Dandruff," guess who was the only Black model still left standing, ready to fill in on a moments notice... Yep, you guessed it.
Back to the silly TV show, I don't care how you act or how warm and personable you are, it don't mean a thing in that business, really, you have to approach it as a business, career, and job! And if you are not serious about it, you have NO BUSINESS being there and wasting everyone's valuable time!
That's what Ms. Banks was saying, she has little tolerance for those who consider it a fling or "just a gig" and don't work just as hard as she does for what she has.
and
You wonder why so many gorgeous Men and Women never become successful as models???

This is my goddamned journal, and it's clear you've never read it before; you're just searching for fights to pick over your pet goddess. This is the first time and this isn't the only evidence I've seen of Tyra Banks being a hydra-headed monster of insecurity, narcissism, and superiority. I'm just posting the newest evidence I've found of its extreme eruptions. You want to see someone with a fucking god complex? Watch her fucking shows. You can't get through one intro on fucking AMNT without Tyra slutting it up and self-congratulating herself over her ability to be better at modeling than a bunch of new kids barely out of high school. There's a word for someone who has to hang out with losers to feel better about him/herself. That word is "Tyra."
I hope you and she are happy in your marriage. I hope the marriage of a toady sycophant and a psychotic hosebeast is legal in the state you live in.
Now go away.
