Jan 25 2007Tyra Banks talks about being fat

tyra-banks-fat.jpg

Tyra Banks is publicly talking about her recent weight gain (she's 5'10" and currently weighs 161 lbs), and tells People magazine:

"I get so much mail from young girls who say, 'I look up to you, you're not as skinny as everyone else, I think you're beautiful.' So when they say that my body is 'ugly' and 'disgusting,' what does that make those girls feel like? 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!' I feel more comfortable when I'm lighter - I sleep better, I snore less, I have more endurance when I work out, my arms look better. I've made millions of dollars with the body I have, so where's the pain in that? 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 (horrible) things."

Being fat is cool if you're a sumo wrestler or a circus freak or a hot dog eating champion, but usually it's just gross. I'm not saying fat people can't be sexy, they just have to be clever about it. You know, like printing out a full sized poster of a supermodel and taping it to their neck. Or getting everybody in the world drunk. Or not being fat.

you go, girl!

OK fine... I'd hit that. But I won't smile... much...

tag team tyra! i'd go on that hog hunt

its nice that she's setting the example for girls to be more confident about their bodies, but everytime she opens her mouth she's also setting the example for girls to be idiots

She's a cow.


And what's with the alien forehead.


this thread should be ....interesting.

It would not bother me in the least if my wife looked like that...even the funny thing she's doing with her arms. And, the makeup. And, the swimsuit. Better be safe and just take that off.

Tyra is MAGNIFICENT!

What a great role model she is!

What do your mothers and sisters look like you nasty ass jerks who put women down?

MAY YOUR PEENIES ROT AND FALL OFF!

told ya!

She can gain another 15 pounds and I'd still hit it. With some barbecue sauce.

Word.

#8 - you just yelled "Peenies". I've not heard anyone say that in 20 years!! ROTMFFLMMFAO! >^D

However, this news is almost 24 hours old. I can't believe that the Fish just now posted it. Damn, buy, you'se slow!

Yah - I'd still break my peenie off in her, though.

mom \ sister-total fresh hotties. what's a peenie? is that like a cro-magnum, archeivel wang? OK FINE MOM

Um, why is she fat? Most famous people have a reason why they're fat, like they're pregnant, they're beefing up for a film role, or they're dating K-Fed. She needs a good reason dammit!

#11 lolpimp

She got lazy and let herself go big time. She just stopped trying. Which is pretty bad, cuz like she said, she made her money off her looks and with all her money, she shouldn't have a problem staying in shape. She just straight up got lazy. And back in the day, I thought she was so damn hot! But I still like watching America's Next Top Model, and yeah, I don't mind admitting it!

Sumo wrestlers are the coolest fat people. I saw sumo wrestling in Japan. That was so friggin awesome. And how come that Japanese eating hot dog champion isn't fat?! Shouldn't he be?! The guy eats like 100 hot dogs?! Why isn't he a friggin blimp? I wish I could eat 100 hot dogs. I like hot dogs. Then again, that guy must have some wicked bathroom issues for the next few days while trying to pass all those dogs through his system. Damn.

Hahaha, I wrote "Japanese eating hot dog champion" and now I'm giggling my friggin ass off thinking about some giant world champion hot dog that goes around eating japanese people. I'm an idiot haha. Clearly I meant that Japanese guy who wins all those hot dog eating competitions.

Sadly, like many black female celebrities, she's gotten lazy, she just stuffs her fucking piehole, she's got a monster 'tude and does no exercise. She's all miss 'thang *snaps fingers*

I fucking HATE that shit. And that show of hers is bullshit, America's Top whaaaaaaaaa?

really? how many of those girls are supermodels now?
bitch puhleeeeze.

I think I had that same bathing suit, back in fucking 1985.

mztry is fat, that explains so much!

WHERE HAS ANGRY FERRET GONE?

tyra looks fine...hell im skinnier than her and i think she is sexier than i could ever be because she knows how to work what shes got.

I think Ferret's mom grounded him from the computer.

She's still hot and I still love her.

And, Tyra looks fine. Who among us hasn't dealt with the January Muffin Topper? I'm still working on mine every fucking morning at the goddam gym to no avail. Fucking Christmas cookies.

is this suppose to be a pictue of her being fat because i don't see it. and i'm pretty sure 161 for 5' 10" isn't fat for her size frame.

anyway, i guess when you strut around in underwear for a living, people will call you out for gaining weight. who cares. people only have to answer to themselves, not the media.

SHes gross you need a reason to be that fat girls should not be co mfortable looking like that ecspecially in ur twentys or teens its like saying i dropped out of highschool and im ok with that u should dtill feel smart if it was supposed to be there there would be room for it being fat is failing as a person dont tell me all these beast oh wait "real" girls have thyroid problems I cook/eat more than rachel ray and im 5'7" 120-30 pounds size 1-3 dont excercise plus tyra better not settle back all the guys she know are used to geting everythiing and the best of it which one wants her fat ass
www.myspace.com/sashambrosia

ambrosia? Go take your meds and do your Algebra homework. And read a book, paying careful attention to spelling, grammar and punctuation.

I feel how the females here are giving her love. I get it
But one thing ladies, Miss Tyra here makes her living pontificating on that crappy show of hers about how models should look. And more than one has gotten kicked off for weighing considerably less than 161. So while it's nice that you are being considerate for her just know that she wouldn't do the same for you.

ambrosia, why the fuck are you constantly telling us your height, weight & size and how much you eat and how you fry all your food?? no one cares!

and no one cares how you hate "fat" people.

and how exactly are you a size 1-3, 5'7" and 120-130 lbs. that math doesn't work.

Isn't ambrosia some form of gooey marshmallow disgustingness they serve in college cafeterias? If so sounds like the name fits this freakshow perfectly.

And this justifies my opinion that anyone & everyone who has a myspace page is a psychotic, lonely freak.

I give you Ambrossia

Ahahahahahaha this is from her MySpace, typos are all hers:

"am of jamaican heritage actually double shot espresso wake u up in the mornin
Im moving to NYC for college for genetics and biochemical engineering hopefully modeling but realistically college i am presently in princeton mass"

yuoe decide

*you, ouch!


I especially love this one, let's call it the thoughts of an up and coming "geneticist engineer" enjoy: (and weep for the future)

I have not updated because of three things 1. Im lazy and spend ll day eaing and staring at myself in the mirror and gosssip websites. 2. I have dial up internet cause where i live and attempting to do anything is depressing and 3. Fucking college appplications College is the shit your gorgeous ( well some of us) and you can do whater you want wherever ( well some of us) anyways applying is fucking tiring i dont care if i mispelled im gorgeous. They ask you all these stupid questions. What do you do during the average week Brad fucking Pitt what does this have to do with my major. I mean highschool is a useless piece of shit so leaders of said shit can look cool ehrn you do good on state testings it doesn't prepare you for life other than pretty people and nerds rule I want to go to your college because i have a choice in what i learn. to people actually write what they mean lets be realistic. I want to go to your college cause my parents did ad i reall have no choice i know where im going to work anyways. or I want to go to your college cause alll my friends are going or my boyfriend/girlfriend. Or i want to go to your college because its near or cheap my rant is over

like i said in the other post, she has to actually graduate highschool. from the looks of it, it's not going to happen.

i don't think she even knows how to form a sentence properly.

She is not fat! 5'10" and 161 lbs? Give me a break. That is just ridiculous. That is well within normal range for someone who is 5'10".

Notice how our culture has degenerated to the point where people who make something useful of themselves by using their brain are looked down upon by the illiterate.

UN-FUCKING-BELIEVEABLE

Hey Tyra: Shut your pie-hole, FATTY.

More cushin for the pushin!

am I reading this wrong, because to me her comment made no sense. she said "I feel more comfortable when I weigh less", and then gave a million reasons why its better being lighter...then said what's the harm in being a fatty.

hmm...


i have to be reading this wrong, or else someone would have pointed that out

oh, and Tyra is the biggest attention whore in maybe all of the entertainment industry, and out of her fucking mind

Yes..she is fat..in the eyes of blind people!

Calling someone with actual breast, thighs and (gasp) hips FAT? WTF??

Just because she isn't made like a deformed Russian boy does not mean that she is fat.

Ridicule your own bodies. Pathetic.

Barbado Slim:

When you're online, you're talking to people you can't see. You don't know if they're black, white, or so good with computers that they can trace down your IP address, look up your info, and come down to whatever smarmy town you live in, and beat the racist shit out of you.

She's fat, she's incredibly narcissistic, and she's an idiot- but I hardly think black actresses have set a precedent for that.

This website is about hating people for what is conceivably their own fault, which if its going to skirt hypocrisy, has to be executed with tact and wit. Your line about black actresses, which is symptomatic of the tragic insecurities you must have for being white, but falling so far short of the dream of "white power," only makes the fool ouf of you, you poor, impotent, belligerent fuck. I hope it sucks you down.

43--nicely put, but usually the best response to the racist posts [which seem to happen here on EVERY entry about a black celebrity] is to ignore them

She has retired from modeling and she doesn't have to worry about her weight as much anymore. I can totally understand a little weight gain.

She looks fine on her show. This is a bad picture or a bad bathing suit.

you got it ALL WRONG biatcho. Lonely psychotic freaks are the people who actually cut and paste people Myspace info, and take the time to look at their page, loser

"the best thing to do is ignore racist posts?"

the best way to change what's already on the wrong track is just to wait for change to happen?

Any bitch taking my 32" size jeans is a friggin cow. Nuff said.

Shoot I was 160 in high school when I was on the wrestling team and running almost every single day.

And yeah, I was 5' 10" so no way this chick ain't a pig.
Of course that photo is not her in all her piggyness either.

Perez,have you looked in the mirror lately?

#41 - Are you kidding me?!?! That title is Oprah's all the way!!! I can't stand Oprah!!! She is by far the biggest attention whore in the industry and a complete hypocrite. Damn I can't stand that lady! #2 on the list would have to go to Angelina Joile. Tyra Banks is way down that list. Yes she loves the spot light and getting attention and being famous, but not in the same pompus way that those two do. She just likes it in the same way that any regular person would like it if they could find a way to get it. But really, I just wanted to post this comment to express my dislike of Oprah!

Oh my god. I know ambrosia didn't post her dumb-ass MySpace page on here. This is too funny. Two of her heroes are....wait for it...TomDeLay and Jack Abramoff. Now Ambrosia...you do realize that Jack Abramoff went to prison for defrauding the indians, and Tom DeLay was indicted as well right? God save the youth.

Oh great, fatty-stalker-lesbo alert in the house! More proof myspacers are fucking retards. Someone is upset because people make fun of a 43 year old fatass dyke's myspace that you put out there for the world to see and you blame it on a stranger on the internet. Get a life lardass.

If you've ever seen this girl's plump little mother, then you know where Tyra is headed weight-wise. But she looks great right now with the weight. Only the Hollywood homos like rail-thin girls, heterosexual guys like a little something there.

She looks fine to me. That height/weight is big for a high fashion model but for a normal person, just fine.

I saw her in person a couple of years ago and she's absolutely stunning -- much prettier than in print/film.

bitch....where to start......YOU are the one who stalked me. You obviously googled my screen name, found my myspace page and came back on here and told everyone about it. Like I said before I'm THANKING you for that, because the more you call me fat and ugly and a dyke, the more people go to my page and see that I'm exactly the opposite of everything you call me, which makes you look like the jealous psycho freak with a crush on me that you are. What's also painfully obvious is that until you post pictures on your page, and put yourself out there for "everyone to see" you will forever remain an annonymous fat ugly douchebag

@43 are you threatening me douchebag, are YOU that good with computers? Did you just watch Hackers? Are you comin' to get me Zero Cool?

I quake in fear

I STAND BY MY statements douchebag, and for your information I'm part black so I know about lazy un-educated attitude filled, fat-assed ghetto black women. That's why I married white.

BLOW ME and then Blow ME AGAIN

Fats, you should now change your screename to Anthony Perkins.

#61........I hate to butt in here, but douchebag is kinda my word, can you come up with an equally fabulous word to use on that teabagger schack????

and bitch...........WHAT?????? are you ill today, cuz you're seriously laggin' on the comebacks

I highly doubt that you're "part" anything....unless you're speaking of a creature that lives deep in the woods of Kentucky somewhere. Whatever "part" that you "claim" to be seems to be typing right now. Making lame and "un-true" generealizations about a particular race is something only a retarded fucktwat asshole would do....aka YOU.

You married white.....great, now you'll produce chalk and you'll live happily ever after, right?

Let's not forget the MANY uneducated little twits that are "white".

Paris Hilton
Britney Spears
Lindsay Lohan
Tara Reid...shall I continue?

Go read a book you lamefuck.

Anthony Perkins... you know, Psycho.

Sorry if I used your word there bulldyke, it's just that they're so far up inside Tyra's pisshole, it seemed appropriate.

An one last thing YOU CALLING ME RACIST for my OPINIONS prove me wrong: tell me Vivica Fox, Queen Latifah, the Allen Sisters, Beyonce (Whitney Houston you say, is not fat? that's 'cause she's a crackhead) etc...are not all a bunch of fat asses. Show me a ghetto bitch that doesn't have an attitude, and has read a book in her fucking pathetic life.

prove me wrong

Don't even bother welfare queen.

hehehe, anyone else think it is humorous that #64 first makes an incredibly judgemental and stereotypical remark about kentucky and THEN proceeds to bitch at someone else for making "untrue generalizations"

i love this site :)

52--yeah it is, bcuz 1) they probably aren't going to care what you say on here, and 2) half of the people who make those comments just wanna piss people off on here and get us amped up. happens all the time in internet forums and discussion boards. ignoring them shuts them up

she may not be fat as much as really really constipated. that would explain almost everything in the story and the picture.

Yup, shuts them right up.


next

:)

#65, I got it, it's just WEAK. Like I said on the other thread, go back to delivering your pizza's , brush up on some wit tonight, and come back tomorrow and BRING IT....you seriously disappointed me today

still lovin' hating you
xoxoxoxox

I understand that not everyone has to be skinny... but Tyra needs to lose some weight. Being chubby does NOT suit her. She looks horrible. She's completely let herself go.

I like Tyra. And her big ol' booty too.

Sorry to disappoint but you should learn a lesson from this... imagine how your parents feel every time they are forced to look at you. Perhaps you can shape yourself up and not be so dykish & fat, then they'll love you again. promise!


She retired from modeling, she can gain as much weight as she wants. BUT she shouldn't be surprised about criticism, as she did make her living off her face/body...comes with the territory unfortunatly.

Yeah-I totally agree with #40. Her comment made no sense. I couldn't care less about her stupid weight gain, but I wish celebrities would quit trying to sound deep all while forgetting to be lucid.

hahahahaha, did she just say, BRING IT?

She's good looking, not a drug user, not anorexic, and not smoking tampons. If only she wasn't a pompous ass.

Yes, i was just asked to "Bring It". We all need more comedy in our lives people. More lesbianic comedy.

are you fucking kidding me??? shes nowhere near FAT. yes, she has gained weight but she still looks good. i met her and shes a hottieee. she could probably gain 30 more pounds and still look just as good.

First of all f i must i will stop posting my measurments im dfinetly not lying about my size my post makes sense and tom delay and jack abhramoff are my heroes cause cause of their personality ye i guess some of their actions can be percieved as wrong but how many of u went to ocean 11 and loved it same thing just smarter people who are in their middle age

Anyone else ever notice how she gets all ghetto talking to black folks.. but straight laced and - yes I'll say it - white when talking to white folks? Did I just say folks twice? Ah shit...

you could answer with "it's already been BROUTGHTEN!!"

#26 - "SHes gross you need a reason to be that fat girls should not be co...."
You get an "F" in grammar class today. Try again later to write something coherent that can be understood by the rest of the English speaking world. You're as bad as LiLo, yet you think that you're going to college? Wake up & smell the coffee (or espresso, whatever).

#43 - while your concerns against racism are commendable, please make sure that when you call someone a fool, you don't have the word "out" misspelled, K?
"Who is more foolish - the fool or the fool who follows him" - Obi-Wan Kenobi, Star Wars

And SPEAKING of misspellings, it's so nice to see the return of the queen of irony, DAMYELL, who once again calls someone a "retarded fucktwat asshole" and yet said "generealizations", which is spelled incorrectly. Not to mention the wonderful observation in post #68 that I won't reiterate.
I really LOVE this one - "Let's not forget the MANY uneducated little twits that are "white".... Since when did 4 constitute MANY? In actuality, 4 corresponds to "Few", and not "Many", you Twatwaffle!

Will you please stop typing your half-witted attempts at humor, ya monstrous stinkloaf. They only PROVE how you contradict yourself TIME & TIME AGAIN!! Do YOU REALIZE HOW STUPID YOU LOOK WHEN YOU DO THAT???

oh my lord ambrosia, put the pom poms & the speedballs down and walk away from the computer. walk slowly towards your kitchen where your parents keep the cutlery. Without causing a stir just happen to grab the sharpest knife you can find, not the biggest, just the sharpest. now run to the bathroom screaming "the flying monkeys are gonna kill me, they're after me... AAAHHH" and then lock the door behind you. I think you know what to do from there.

OMG... DID YOU JUST SAY "TWATWAFFLE" ????

ROFLLMAO!!! I love you wedgeone. You are my hero.

yeah, ditto on the twatwaffle comment. not too many people on here make me laugh outloud and that did big time.

Ambrosia, do you ever wonder why people get a really puzzled look when you talk to them? THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND ONE DAMN THING YOU ARE SAYING.

Periods are your FRIEND. Run-on sentences, BAAAAAD.

#82 - Please STFU. Wait ... first explain how Oceans 11 relates to illegal government lobbying & corrupt politicians. Since you can't, NOW STFU!
"i guess some of their actions can be percieved (SIC) as wrong" PERCEIVED?? WHO ARE YOU KIDDING??!!? Have you been Britney Spears's press agent for a while now? That is almost as stupid as any of DamYell's contradictory cut downs over the last week.

Please let me quote from this week's news article about the Abramoff scandal & who went down:
"- Abramoff is serving six years in prison on a criminal case in Florida. He has not yet been sentenced on charges of mail fraud, conspiracy and tax evasion stemming from his Washington lobbying work. A Texas Indian tribe filed a federal lawsuit in July against Abramoff and several of his colleagues, alleging that they engaged in fraud and racketeering. Abramoff is cooperating in a bribery investigation involving lawmakers, their aides and members of the Bush administration."

There is a difference between "Perceived" and "Proved". Guess that's why you won't study Political Science "if you get into college".

Thx - I openly admit that twatwaffle isn't my creation (I don't remember who created that one - one of the regulars I think), but it seemed appropriate in this instance.

Feel free to start using the word - maybe we can get it added to the next edition of Webster's. All we need is DamYell's pic for a point of reference.

lesbifats is going to say it created twatwaffles. just because it incorporates its two favorite things: vagina & food.

ambrosia, you're a fucking liar because i weigh 108 and i'm 5'3 and i wear a 1-3.

plus, NO ONE GIVES A FUCK. stop lying to yourself and being a bitch in general.

Tyra Banks tries so hard to come off as sincere, thought-provoking and intelligent, but from what I've seen of her show and read from her in interviews, I think she's a vapid, narcissistic poser.

She's rich though so she's probably laughing at everyone who hates her, while trying to maintain her "Oh my god I can't believe girls are starving themselves to be models" expression on her face.

#92 - ROTMFFLMMFAO!! That's awesome, b!

Pretty Baby - is TwatWaffle your creation?

I think that DamYell's time on the library PC ended, so she hasn't been around to see how she got slagged. Bummer!

you got that right bitch
so.....with all these nicknames you've been giving me.......I kinda feel like we're going steady or something
hahahahahah

Goddamit!!! Can we stop with the discourse in race relations already? Race rears it's ugly head in too many of these posts. It's getting old. We get it. All black women are overweight, loud, welfare having, illiterate bitches and all white women are underweight, crotch flashing, trailer trashy, drunken, STD-riddled sluts. End of debate. Can we please move the fuck on?

In relation to this thread:

Tyra looks fine but that bathing suit is fugly as hell. I think my grandma has the same one in her closet. She wears it with swim fins and a plastic daisy bonnet. On another note, just because someone is thin, it doesn't make them hot. Please see anorexic douchebag in post below for clarification. Or any of the other countless anorexic douchebags prominently featured on this site.

@#61 BARBADO SLIM YOU ARE THE FUCKING MAN. not meaning to yell atch'all but the words LMMFAO can't justify the tears of joy rolling along my jovial cheekbones. YEAH MAN!!! oh, and @43 welcome to the new millenium, mom. I gravitate towards the Slim...email me.

the fuck happened to her?

I'd fuck him.

Even though she weighs 161lb, she's still nearly 6'0" tall. So she doesn't look bad at all. She still annoys the piss out of me, but I'd definitely not consider her fat in the least. You can see that she still has tone.

Rosie O'Donnell, now that's fat.

Wow, it seems like everytime I actually post something it's about race...GAWD! This needs to be squashed, like, now...but I cant let this one go.

I actually dont know about Tyra personally, but, I know she's a good role model for girls all over the place. I personally think she's a little (okay, VERY) insane in the membrane, but, I'm guessing that she means well. Even if she is a bitch in real life, hopefully she's still able to have more girls feel good about themselves in her TV life, y'know? (Maybe you dont really...)

But, damn BarbadoSlim- you're part black too? DAMN! It's totally depressing to know that you're part black really. And I can't even begin to show you enough pity- I mean, I'm really really sorry for you and your self hating butt, and I hope you seek help soon. And from your "finger snapping" comment...well, I'd say you've only gotten to know either: 1) one aspect of the black woman or 2)one type of black woman

Broaden your horizon, man! You're an adult arent you? You're acting waaaay too smart for someone who knows damn near nothing about what they're talking about. You're way to old for that y'know. I dont wish any harm to befall you in anyway, because I was really pretty saddened by your comment "I'm part black so I know about lazy un-educated attitude filled, fat-assed ghetto black women. That's why I married white."

I'm black, 16, I'll be going to an art college soon, I used to go to the top highschool in my city before my Mom took me out to homeschool me. My sisters are both black, and they're both attending a private school where they're at the top of all of their classes. And my parents are black, they both graduated from college, and they're the smartest people I know...that applied to the rest of my BLACK family, and their BLACK (and PART black) friends.

I dont know whoever you worship, but if you really believe that they help their followers, I suggest you have a very long talk with your God.


#102 - Uuuuhhhhhh, Taylor is it? Uh yeah, it's Black (capital B), not black (lower case b), young Black man. You and your extremely smart Black family and all they black asses (see the usage difference?)should know better (do a little reading homie). You're 16 and obviously haven't learned the meaning of sarcasm. Let the adults play... run along now. Back to the XBox for you...

Wow, its amazing how this post quickly turned from Tyra's body to race. Why is race something we continously focus on? The only separation in this world is b/w the ingorant and the intelligent. Intelligent people can debate and agree to disagree. The ignorant,are the people who lack the mental capacity to make a constructive agrument,so they demean others by using sterotypes.

Anyway,
Tyra, I'll still hit it!!!

Ok you guys stop fighting. Everyone's race is nice, etc.

As for Tyra... altho she's irritating, she's not fat. However, she probably shouldn't make poses like that. That's only going to people making nasty comments.

Not fat.

Just kinda wacky.

Okay, I just wanted to make it known to the sheep calling Tyra fat--You are all incredibly and utterly stupid. Tyra is not fat. Her BMI is 23.1 that is in the normal/healthy range. She is a great romodel for teens because she promotes body confidence by eating healthy, exercising, and accepting ourselves no matter what we look like, it's called balance. Tyra looks great and always has, before she was too skinny and now, she's too fat--Whatever! I would hit that and then some.

Maybe its one of those times when celebs just want to let go. Its so common, for months on end, they just eat stuff they havent touched in years. They gain some weight then when they're satisfied, they slim back down.

Either way, I think Tyra should lose some weight. She doesnt need to fit into the jeans of her supermodellin days but, she should lose some weight.

Barbado Slim: I think you sum up the stupidity in its' entirety on this entire site of commenters. You are ignorant and racist, you choose to believe and see what you decided before even being introduced to something. Tyra, Vivicia, Beyonce are not fat. Oh, and you need another black female that is not fat--HOW ABOUT HALLE BERRY? I bet you think that Toccarra from ANTM is fat too? You wouldn't know what a real woman was if she put your head between her two big titties. Stick to your orange sticks,they are the only ones that would go for your ignorant ass anyways, being insecure and all.

I'd hit it....

with a big-assed brick for the big, big, ig assed psycho chick.

108- Halle Berry is half white/half black.
Racism is a waste of time. I don't think Tyra weighs 160 - not unless she has NO MUSCLE MASS whatsoever. And her show sucks.

Tyra is hot with those chunky hips and thighs. To all the ladies who've accomplished those attributes, the best use of your time is to sit on my face. Really.

Well, that was amusing.

My friends dragged me to the Tyra Banks show on Tuesday and let me tell you, she does not look like that in person.

She may have been wearing something to control her tummy, but her legs and arms were TINY!

No joke!

Poor Tyra, poor poor tyra.

Btw the show was fa-reaking retarded.

One too many Vaseline sandwiches.

I love this site. it really brightens my day. anyways.. where did the angry ferret go? the feds lock him up again?

okay i am female, it is not that tyra is fat. not at all. what it is, is that she is so god damn satisfied with herself it make me sick. it is nice to see someone be taken down a peg or two. especially since she is always on that fucking top model show that has sucked since janice left talking about how some thin chic is fat. nice to see the tables turned on that self satisfied oprah wanna be.

^ I found him, and gave it to him but good! That's one fucking ferret that won't feel up to inventing the Internet for at least a week, ...

*20*, doh!

RPLTC, with extraordinary enthusiasm!

if tyras "skinny" in that photo i must be severely anorexic

Ambrosia, how much drugs did you take in order to be able to write - and think - like that? I didn't even think it was possible for a human being to sink to that level of incoherence. Damn, even Britney's high school homework is better than whatever you just put up there.

booooooring, I'm already sick of this and sick of Tyra.

I'm not gonna change my mind, it's my personal experience and I'm sorry if it's not politically correct enough for you princesses.

Criticizing destructive and undesirable conduct is NOT racist and black people need to start realizing that.

As for me I could give two shits one way or the other, I'm outta the ghetto.

#106 - I think you'd be a great role model for a fluffer in a chubby chasers movie: Pimpin' Plumpers: Flaps of Flesh II. I hear the only requirement is obesity. You should be a shoe-in.

#117 - Ass Troll... back from corrective surgery on that gaping prison ass of yours I see. I'm sure the Aryan Brotherhood appreciated treating you the way you treat your pets... cross species fornication is so last year dude.

yeah yeah yeah yeah.........It's still Tyra's face.

BarbadoSlim is entitled to his opinion... just like I'm entitled to believe I'd rather have fat ass Tyra rather than any of the white trailer trash looking, STD carrying, dirty whores with no diginity or a brain among them that are posted about on here, any day of the week.

Each to their own.

I love you RichPort!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hate the suit, but love to see the girl with a butt on her!

'Pretty Baby - is TwatWaffle your creation?'
Excuse me wedgeone???

ok, lets say shes not fat... but maybe she should change the way she dresses, no ? shes not 130 pounds anymore. she has to accept it !

when you have a problem area, you try to hide it, no ? or maybe it doesnt apply to people who think they are extraordinaire ??

Vivica Fox and Beyonce are fat? For real?

Damn.

123. I'm sorry, were you saying something? I couldn't understand you with the cock in your mouth, ...

she's always beautiful!

She used to be hot...It´s so ironic...she puts so much stress on the girls in the show to look thin, good, etc...and she turned out the be the opposite! What a shame!

RichPort--
I am certain you are uneducated, poor, and living in a mobile home. I am very different from you in that I am educated, well-off, and living in a house without wheels. So, I think that your movie selection ie. Pimpin Plumpers would not be something that interests me. I am not trying to upset you or make you defensive. It's just that I am not into that kind of thing, if you are more power to you. My only suggestion would be that if you want a girl or boy that is fat to like you,--you should try being a little nicer to everyone. This includes yourself you in the closet FA.

And by "house without wheels" do you mean "homeless shelter"? Don't other people want to use the library computer?

#128 - PB, didn't you use the word "Twatwaffle" in a post about a month ago, and I WB how funny that was? It could have been someone else - I don't remember & don't have time to search for it.

uh-uh wedgeone- I did not. But if you were good with my twat I might make you some waffles the next morning.....

At least she's not trying to cram that into a neon pink bikini like the middle-aged over-tanned rotissery chickens you see walking around on U.S. beaches, embarrassing the hell out of their teenage kids with teased hair like a Duran Duran: 20-years-aftershock video. I think a one piece was a good choice.

134. Unless you happen to post as RichPort, I don't believe that you were the target of my post, but I am amused, so, ...

Perhaps I should write to the registrars of my universities and tell them that they inadvertently awarded me degrees, not once, or twice, but three times. What are the odds? I probably wouldn't be able to calculate them, since I am so "uneducated".

And I should definitely let my county tax assessor's office know that they have made a significant error in recently reappraising my home at over $625k, since you insist that I have a "mobile home". Just think of the money you saved me on property taxes!

And, if I really am "in the closet", I should probably let my wife and three kids know soon, ...

that I just had an online exchange with the least perceptive and most deluded idiot on this site!

"BWAAAAAAAHAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAHAAAAAA!"

Thanks for playing ;^)

Being fat is usually gross? Really?
God this site sucks big time. It used to be so cool too...

I agree with GGirl. Tyra's a bitch, fat or skinny. Who cares?

An ancient African-American expression comes to mind.

"More cushion for the pushin'." Tell me no one else thought that.

#139 - A rare Edna moment from you, just without all of the typos & stuff.

How can you sit there & call someone "the least perceptive and most deluded idiot on this site!" while using SOMEONE ELSE'S SCREEN NAME? How deluded does that make you??

BTW - 3 degrees? Yet you have so much time on your hands that you can post homo erotic fantasies for hours on end using SOMEONE ELSE'S SCREEN NAME! Surely someone with your superior credentials is FAR TOO BUSY to waste time on a meaningless celebrity blog. Don't your wife & three kids need you around to do the "man" things required of such an elaborate estate? Have you finished training your wife to scream "Oh, RichPort" while you diddle her with her nub-covered dildo (since you're obviously impotent now)

Post your transcripts & family photo, you compulsive liar. Otherwise, put your peenie back into your pants, get out of your Mom's basement, & do something meaningful with your life.

#137 - PB, the best 30 seconds of my life are yours. If you need 2 minutes, we'd just have to go 4 times, then.
Is that enough for a plate of your Eggos?
>^D

I'll dig through the site this weekend & find out who first used the word "twatwaffle". I gotta know now.

#143 Wedge, I believe it was tsarinaamanda a few weeks ago who coined "twatwaffle".

She is actually the normal weight right now, according to BMI and normal health. Anyone 5'7" should be around 140-150, and she is 5'10".. think about it.

I think "monstrous stinkloaf" deserves at least an honorable mention.

142. I'm sure it's too much for your tiny mind to comprehend that you know nothing about me, and never will. Since my dog has a higher IQ, I'm betting that you still don't get it, ...

It is implicit that posting transcripts, family photos, or any other specific identifying information would indeed make me a target, and an idiot, which I am not.

You are nothing more than a form of cheap entertainment. I'll leave when you bore me, but there are enough cretins here to amuse me for some time ;^)

Autofellate, and have a nice day!

P.S. I'd be "deluded" if I believed that I was RichPort. It does not follow that I am deluded because I elect to mock him. I'd hazzard a guess as to the quality of your education, but that's really not necessary, now is it ;^)

121--no, thats not racist, the thing that's racist is that you actually generalize all black women to have those traits. If you looked a little bit harder, you'd realize this isn't the case. I should know, I'm one of the "finger snappin" black women you're talking about (actually, I don't do that). It's sad that you have so little respect for black women, and for someone who usually brags about how intelligent he is, your views sure are ignorant.

RichPort aka Spastic
I am going to break this down in lame man terms so you are able to understand this time. Also, this is only going to take me one try and one post to set you as straight as possible not three like yours.
First, unless you are retarded you should've been able to figure out how to use the scroll up on your mouse or keyboard. You did target one of my comments. Figure it out.
Second, Calculating degrees or counting to three? Degrees awarded from an online university do not count. And, I'm sure that your parents had to pay a lot of money even for those.
Third, Let's for a moment pretend that you live in a home. You wasted your money and are a selfish person. Furthermore, you must be unhappy because only sad and pathetic people brag about their "riches" because that is all they have. More importantly, everyone on this site knows you have no money. And, the reason that you have no money is because you are not smart or nice and have absolutely nothing going for you.
Fourth, You need to take a reading course. It is apparent in your summaries of my comment that you are well below a junior high reading level. I said, you are an in the closet FA, not gay. Stupid, but not gay. Retarded, but not gay.
Fifth, if you are married with three kids you should be spending more time with them. You must really hate them to be spending so much time online a website like this. Plus, you must be pretty old too--too old to be online all the time. If your kids are anything like you I would send them to Sylvan Learning Center. Give my apologies to your wife and kids and your dog.
Sixth, I guess you spent all your money on your house Richport that you need cheap entertainment.

Your mind is small, but it truly amuses and amazes me how the same species as me can be so fucking unintelligent as you are.

I don't think this would get so much attention if she didn't have that show..... where she judges people's bodies

And really, she shouldn't stand like that.

Now a days the world only thinks your cool or pretty if your half naked (or fully naked), running around like a dumb ass, bleach blond, or very skinny! There don't have to be any reason for someone to put on weight. SO WHAT if she put on weight. Its her body and no one should say anything about it. The worse thing is people get a kick off of hurting other people's feelings. When them there self's have there own personal problem and to make them self feel good pick on someone else. There is worse things in this world then someone putting on weight. On more thing she is 5'10 and 160 lbs is not that bad of a weight for a person her height!

Tyra takes care of herself. She can go up or down 20 to 25 lbs and be just fine. People need to get a clue.
side note: I have a great pic of Tyra and myself at the MTV video music awards "after party" I used to model but have gained about 40 lbs and been through a lifetime of hardships. I have 1 autistic child, 2 that have had open heart surgery, 3 that have passed away and a few other unmentionables. Someone oughta tell her to get me on her show to do a hardship, "before and after" like a 6 weeks work-out thing, I could seriously use a pick-me-up.
respectfully, Tony

wow, I re-read that post and forgot to say what I was thankful for, sorry.
Sooooooo.
Im thankful for the 6 children I have ages 3 to 13 and IM thankful for my wife and IM thankful for prayers.

Respectfully
Tony

You all should go kill yourselves. The ones that say she is fat and a whore and all of that other horrible stuff you are saying about her. I am 17 years old. I weigh 131 and I am 5'1". Are you going to say I am fat as well? Come on now... I am just waiting to hear it. The point of the matter is.. you all are being 2 year olds and saying stupid shit. You seriously need to grow up and get a reality check before you call someone else fat that you don't even know in the first place. I hate people that do that shit. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. Have a nice life.

Melissa

#155 What life are you referring to? You told us to go kill ourselves after telling us what horrible people we are - and you don't even know us! Don't you hate people that do that shit? You should be be ashamed of yourself.

Take the rest of your own advice, sweetheart, get a reality check, grow the fuck up and come back when you're old enough to swim in the deep end of the pool.

okay
Whoever’s site this is needs to wake up.
Look around you...this is what makes the world go round. If you are that ignorant and need to put others down, you have some serious confidence issues. Is there any reason for this ignorance? You are only on this earth for a short while, so what's the problem with living it the way YOU want to. It is the same thing as being racist...just another form. Would you go around telling everyone you're racist? Of course not, many people would disagree with you. Perhaps you were overweight before and are trying to deal with it still; many are. But there is no reason to do so. I mean, look at me, im not saying im a saint or anything of the sort, BUT im 15 and i do know what respect is and what is not. My generation is more accepting than people older than me. I think you should stop and take a lesson from us. Does putting others down make you look better? No way, it makes you look like an ignorant egotistical bitch. My mother taught me values, and apparently your mother did otherwise. She is the one who told me right now to voice my opinion even though i told her i am only one person and it wont make a difference. But then i thought, smiling to someone could make a world of a difference, so why not take a chance. You have to be a leader, not a follower. So to all of you who think the same way as the owner of this website, you also need to learn values. I recently heard a quote saying "speak kind words and kind whispers will come back to you." That is the moral i am trying to live out. Sure, there are only a few people i do not care for on this earth, but i still respect them and give them dignity, like they deserve. You, on the other hand treat them like dirt, and im sure you all know what it feels like to be treated that way.

Point is, I'm sure we have all looked in magazines and said "i wish i looked like her" or "i wish i was as skinny as her" etc, but the fact of the matter is...you're not. You are who you are and there is no one and will never BE anyone like you. You are unique. It took me a while to realize that. We all come in different sizes, shapes, and colors. Sure you can go under the knife, but you will still be the same old you. Tyra Banks shows us we could all use a little wake up call. I admire her a lot because she IS gorgeous and she IS a woman, not one of those stick figures who drink water for their meal. People have to realize you will never be perfect, because perfect does not exist. You could be happy with yourself, and happiness DOES exist. So choose what you would like to be known as. Ignorant and selfish or happy and content with yourself. Thank you
Sincerely Sophia Jenrich

@157 boooooooring, and your generation?

Your generation sucks, you're all whiny, posers with zero originality, you THINK your individualistic but you are all a bunch of followers. A herd of individualists with nasty attitudes. The world would be a better place if you were were all wiped off the face of the earth and we gave it to the next one before you ruin them. You are the douchebag generation who will usher in the end of humanity.

Do the world a favor and kill yourselves immediately.

PS: Internet etiquette rule #1, familiarize yourself with the community before you open your filthy clam. THIS IS A CELEB SLAMMING SITE, and there's the way out --------->

Oh, why do I bother, your generation doesn't even read.

*THINK you're

douches

I'm all for everyone being different shapes and sizes, but I have a feeling that Tyra's weight gain is just a result of her being lazy and self-indulgent.

A la Mariah Carey...

I cant belive anyone would say tyra banks is "fat and discusting" OMG shes human that means shes not perfect i guess? if tyra was so discusting and gross then how is she worth so much money? anyways 161lbs for someone who is 5'10 is not fat. Hmm maybe if she gained 300 more pounds she would be fat but i know she'd still be beautiful. and it is not only her figure who makes her gorgeous but its he skin complextion, her hair and her personality. i honestly dont think so many girls would look up to her if she didnt have such a good personality. if anyone has something to say about her then im guessing they arnt perfect because tyra hasnt done anything to deserve this even if she is human and she weighs more then the "ideal model" i think if there were more people who were actually human and healthy like her then more younger girls wouldnt be so self contious about their body. anyways thats my opinion about this whole situation and thanks tyra for actualy being a healthy roll model

Ok. So you all are calling me immature because of something I said that actually made sense. I am mature thanks.. and I have the right to my own opinions as well. I wasn't talking about every person in here, I was talking about the ones that were running Tyra down. That is all. So you all can think what you want to think.

Melissa

I have realized through the years that most girls named Melissa end up barefoot & pregnant by the time they are 19. Spunkbuckets I say!

Shut up girlie & get ready for that huge Sequential 1 Math test you have tomorrow.

You guys have no clue!! Fat is when you have at least three rolls going down your back and you can't get your thighs to separate no matter how wide you spread your legs. This girl is NOT fat.

#163 Yes, dear, and that "I'm am SO mature and I also have a right to my opinions" is just the sort of argument we can all expect from your age bracket. You really should pay attention to the site you're on before you (and sophia) start posting your earnest little manifestos (BTW, if you're signing in as "Melissa" you don't need to give us your name at the end of said little mewling posts - we know who you are, thanks). You both might be happier at starswelove.com or runonsentencestreamofconscienceness.com - but, honestly, why do you think this snarky site is for you?

Oh, yeah, and you'll always have a home at hellokitty, too.

"i honestly dont think so many girls would look up to her if she didnt have such a good personality."

@162.....*sigh* *hangs head in frustration* see, this is what I mean. Anyone who has seen this self-centered shallow fucking UNDERWEAR MODEL should know she's no role model. Unless you aspire to be an empty headed mannequin. If you want good role models look around you at the people who work and contribute something to society every day.

And no, drug dealers, hip hop artists, models, actors, wannabe gangtas,
white rappers, whitestafarians, celebutants, mtv vjs, dj's, X-treme athletes, and Jennifer Aniston etc... DO NOT make for good role models.

#162 alicia, I can't believe you actually ended your accolade with the words "roll model".

Oh, blessed irony, we love you...

Let me see if I have this straight... my troll picks fights with other commenters without a shred of humor. Its only accomplishment to expose its homoerotic agenda. Then some dimwit named Pharoah (which I'm sure is pronounced Farrah, like that Charlie's Angel chick) responds with a 6 point arguement replete with wild assumptions and an ardent abuse of the English language and grammar. Finally, my troll then defends my name, thus attempting to complete it ascension to being me.

What the fucking fuck??? I mean, I know there's a bunch of fucking humorless dingbats here, but this is just digging for new lows. The responses to being goaded by some of you douchebags, especially my troll and the fucking teenagers, is beyond the realm of standard idiocy. I thought damnYELL was murdering English slowly... I see some of you have decided to feed it cyanide-laced brownies.

Slim, your efforts in back-handing the moronic brainless amongst us are beyond commendable. Keep up the good work.

this problem is everyone's subconsciousness problem. u should chose- if u want to be thin or not. and after that only act.

but she's great.

#144 - Thanks for remembering that. I haven't seen that name on the site for a while.
Believe it or not, if you Google "twatwaffle", you'll get a few thousand matches. That surprised me.

#153-154: Tony Bona?? That name alone ... THAT'S FUNNY!!
With that many kid issues, maybe you ought to try a vasectomy? Sounds like someone peed in your end of the gene pool. Just spend the rest of your time on Earth "practicing" with your wife & leave the kid-having to someone else.

If you're male and think Tyra is fat, then your pinky is probably bigger than your dick. And if your female and think Trya is fat then you're jealous cause you aien't got no titties or ass. You anorexic hoes.

why are people calling her fat? she looks perefctly NORMAL! she looks like a HUMAN!
so wat.. she just gained a few kilos.. i dont see wat all the fuss is about..she's bootifull inside and out and if u compare her too all the other young celebrities in hollywood she above and beyond all them!
I LOVE TYRA!!!!!

I'm a personal trainer and I can tell you that at 5'10 and 161 pounds, Tyra is definitely NOT fat. It's so funny how everyone's perception of fat and skinny has been altered by seeing paper thin stars on tv everyday. Most of them are underweight. And so was Tyra when she weighed 125 pounds (at 5'10) as a super model. If you aim to be that thin, noone's stopping you. But why bash someone who's an advocate for feeling good, looking good, and who's actually healthy? Also genetics play a role in how thin you are. But by no means does Tyra's weight gain mean she's fat. It's such a shame that people actually believe the hype rather than the truth.
There's nothing wrong with wearing a size 10 if your 5'7 and over. But if you're wearing a 10 or over and you're shorter, you may need to consider some weight loss alternatives. Remember it's all about the height in proportion to your weight. Be healthy folks! It's time to stop being so vain and think about HEALTH! How small is your waist? Women shouldn't be over 32 inches...this a risk for heart disease. These are things we should remember and look into. Not simply looks. Grow up, folks!

BRAVO!! CLAP, CLAP. DOES HURTING SOMEONE'S FEELINGS MAKE YOU IMBECILES FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELVES?? YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED. TYRA HAPPENS TO BE HUMAN, AND HURTS JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS PLANET. YOU LOT MUST BE SO PERFECT EH??... I SINCERLY DOUBT IT. TYRA IS A BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY (DEFINITELY NOT FAT), CONFIDANT WOMAN, WITH A GOOD HEART. SHE IS BEYOND PERFECT AND HER SUCCESS SEEMS TO INTIMADTE YOU ACID TONGUED, INSECURE, JEALOUS PEOPLE. GET A LIFE AND LEAVE TYRA ALONE. IF YOU FEEL THE NEED TO CRITICIZE ANYONE TRY LOOKING IN A MIRROR.

TYRA FAN, SCOTLAND

She is getting fat. That's a bad suit.

Most of you are total ASSHOLES! How can you treat someone that way?!! You're MEAN! What the fuck is your problem?
How can any of you say Tyra is "A fat ass"? She's gorgeous! Who CARES if she's gained weight? There's no need to go running her down. Sure, maybe she doesn't look as good as she used to, but it's her choice, and no need to run her down for it. I honestly don’t see anything ugly about that picture, she’s adorable! She's definately NOT fat! Just a little plump; there's nothing wrong with that. I think women are lovely at all shapes and sizes.
I don't watch her show much, I rarely download pictures of her, but she's her, a woman. And everyone deserves to be treated decently, and not made fun of. (Except for most of you assholes. You deserve to be treated the way you treat others! You obviously failed the course in proper respectful behavior. SHAME ON YOU!)
To those who are standing up for her, Kudos to you! :)

TYRA IS GETTING FAT WHATS THE BIG DEAL SHE IS MY ROLE MODEL IM SKINNY IM 15 AND I WEIGHT 120 POUNDS AND IM FIND WITH MY SELF AND GUEST WHAT IM A MODEL SHE THEREFORE TYRA IS THE BEST THATS A GOOD SUIT FOR HER AND SHE IS REALLY NICE AND SHE IS THE BEST ROLE U CAN EVER HAVE

For an average woman Tyra would not be considered as too fat, that is at her current weight. But Tyra is getting too fat by the standards she set for herself in the past as a supermodel and by the standards she now sets for others on America�s Top Model. She has definitely retired from the runway but through America�s Top Model she remains connected to the world of fashion and being judged by outward appearances. Were she truly retired and not judging others there would be far less interest in her putting on weight.

Tyra no longer seems to have the incentive or discipline to watch what she eats and her visible lack of muscle tone now that she is in her 30's, more pronounced since her recent retirement indicates she does not have any passion for exercise. It seems apparent now that she probably dieted and exercised much more during her runway years than she let on at the time. Her decision to make 2005 her final appearance on the Victoria�s Secret special was made in the nick of time as the changes in her body were starting to become obvious.

Even though Tyra still looks good, especially when compared to the non-supermodels of the world, I am afraid that her habits, genetics and the passage time are revealing the more rotund Tyra of years to come. One need only look at her mother, an attractive but obviously full figured woman, in the current issue of People to see Tyra�s future natural form. Without a disciplined regime of diet and exercise an average weight gain of only 5 pounds a year would put her well over 200 lbs by the time she is in her early 40's. This is a conservative estimate, if we are to believe that she has only gained 30 pounds since 2005, since she averaging a gain of 15 pounds a year. Tyra�s famously large and natural breasts, which along with her height have served her well in the past to distract from her lower body weight, are another indication of her natural propensity to store fat. The rest of Tyra's body is now simply catching up to her very ample bosom, providing a natural belly cushion of support as her well-flaunted endowments succumb to the effects of gravity.

Perhaps the current attention will inspire Tyra to push away the plates of comfort food and hit the gym, but I doubt she will go that route as her interests now lie elsewhere. Besides her current audience is no longer made up of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition fans or those who attend the fashion shows in Paris and Milan. Her current fan base watches daytime television and they are more than happy to see Tyra progress towards the plus sizes that many of them wear. You can hear them shouting �go girl!� on the Internet and declaring that Tyra will only become more beautiful in the future as her ever growing curves obscure any memory of the what many of them view as the oppressively thin and taut Tyra of the past. Tyra may still be ahead of the fashion curve the girth of the population increases and the thin models of the world face scorn and even unemployment if they fail reach the new Body Mass standards that are being imposed in some countries. Tyra may even be in demand someday to help overly skinny models gain weight. With her height and bone structure Tyra could weigh 260 or more with little effort and before we know it the hostess of Americas Top Model could be a contestant on The Biggest Loser. Now that would be must see TV.

Mr.#103 RichPort, it sounds like you thought I was a boy. But anyway, I suggest you do the reading, buddy. That comment was clearly not for you, buster...you totally let me know that. lol

all of you calling her fat are wrong. She is not fat and its wrong to thhink that way. you people (mostly the guys wanting to "tap that") are rude and the meanest people i know. your guys's expectations are so high that girls starve themselves and do other stupid things to please society. tyra is just trying to make a point that theres other things to worry about besides being skinny... like she said on her show... its one thing to be unhealthy and obese, but its another to be a few pounds over the normal but happy. i mean come on... shes flawless! i love her

Tyra is NOT FAT!! She is 5'10 and weights 161 pounds. It is perfectly natural. Tyra don't let the media get to you. They just want to make up stories about you. They are obseesed with celeb's gaining and losing weight. Tyra is such an insperation to me, and also a role model. I look up to her soo much. She is such a beautiful person in the inside and out. LOVE YOU TYRA
check out my website for you http://www.tyrabanks15.piczo.com

Whatever. You all can say what you want about me. Don't worry about me. At least I am not pregnant or something stupid. I can take care of myself. Also, at least I don't do drugs, smoke, or drink.. and I am sure the ones that are talking about me do one of those. So all of you that want can keep talking about me. You will get yours one day. I am not worried.

Maybe I should beat the crap out of all of you!

tyra looks absolutely BEAUTIFUL! How can people call her fat? i think models look disgusting these days...i mean 5'9 and 90 lbs. that isn't right! I think all the people who think she is fat need to back off-at least the woman has confidence which u all obviously dont have if u have to put her down!

I am disgusted with this. I cannot believe people are actually saying she is a role model. Even tyra herself said "THIS ISNT REFLECTIVE OF HOW MY BODY LOOKS NOW". Her problem is trying to make sure everyone knows that she isnt a heavier girl, yet defending those pictures saying ITS OK TO LOOK LIKE THAT. She is going on TV everywhere to make sure everyone knows she ISNT FAT, THAT SHE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THOSE PICTURES. Then comes out on her talk show in the bathing suit with heels, (lets not forget the fake hair) This "GIRLS GIRL" is a judge on NEXT TOP MODEL. Need I say more? Tyra says there are young girls who look up to her and now wonders how those young girls feel when they hear tyra is being called fat. What your saying is they cant look up to someone who is heavier? This mission of hers is for everyone to know she isnt as fat as the pictures printed. I have never seen a moment of her show due to not having the tolerance, my local news stations sadly update me on this and I am fumming mad. WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? OH yes... a former SUPERMODEL. I could go on and on and any comment I read saying to leave her alone is bull. Who cares what she looks like, including Tyra herself. If I hear her ONE MORE TIME talking about it doesnt matter what she looks like, but yet this is what its all about, I may be just throw out my TV. I am disgusted. What comes around goes around. Keep judging those young girls on TV, keep defending yourself with your high heels on because this is exactly the problem. I would love a sit down and have a conversation with you Tyra. You may just see what most do, that you yourself are the problem. Am I suppose to respect her because she thinks her being heavier makes her more relatable for her show? Not all women are threatened by a thin woman. To think us regular girls will like her because she is EVEN with us is a shame.

Alright so Tyra is fat. I don't really see why some people are stereotyping her. Seriously, come on. We should simply say that she has become fat, and leave it at that. Instead of TRYING to piss everyone else off and all that stupid bullshit. Because the people who are on here trying to piss everyone off are dumb asses who have no friends and want attention. I'm sure Tyra DOES wan the attention... but that doesn't make her the BIGGEST attention whore in the world. And muscle does weigh more than fat...but I'm sure EVERYONE knew that already. But to the people that are getting so upset cause other people are calling her a whore and a fatass....you kids should defiantly just calm the fuck down. And you should try to ((not lose more weight...)) get in better shape. And the guys who say "15 more pounds and I'd still hit it"...that's just atrocious. And Well maybe it's okay to be fat...cause then you'd be harder to kidnap but i would never want to be cause once you start eating and eating and eating you can't stop unless you're metabolism is like GREAT. You're going to get fat...and once you're fat enough you're bones could break just by walking to the damn refrigerator... now do you think kids would want a role model like that? No...i think not. She should either lose the weight or go far far away and never show her fatness until she's skinny again.
Oh and for the people who say people who have myspaces are lame and retarded and what not. you're seriously lame yourself i bet you have plenty of friends who have myspace and you don;t think they're lame... myspace is somewhere where you can find old friends and talk and even meet new people but you really shouldn't do that last part...you might end up dead in a ditch. but yea back to my point myspace is only lame if the person is using it for stupid things like getting 1.00 friends and you don't know half of them and NEVER will or for picking up chicks or guys or using it to hook up with people.
Jeez today's society is so FUCKED UP. "Can't we all just get along?"....HA! We've proven that that is a negative on the getting along. cause a lot of you bitches are so hypocritical and ignorant and fake. But hey aren't we all?


i look forward to hearing many more mean responses to this....correcting my grammar and punctuation and what my opinions are...cause honestly..It make me laugh like a raving lunatic to read what some of you people write down.

until we meet again

♥

im 5'11 and over 300 lbs.

funny thing is, i dont hate myself. i know plenty of people who would say im pretty funny. it sounds cliche for the fat girl to be funny, but theres just another positive thing to think about. i can admit and not care that im fat, because i like who i am. tyra is not fat. tyra is normal. when are people going to stop letting the media control their idea of what the ideal body is? everyone is different. lets keep it that way.

i have 2 different myspaces with tons of pictures. i dont show my whole body, but who cares. you wont lose sleep at nite. you can send me all the hatemail you want to, but it will only prove your close-mindedness. (is that a word? perhaps not..)

anyway. if you feel the need to add me though, go ahead. im ver friendly.

LOOK, ALL OF YOU ARE GETTING IN MY NERVES!!!

Tyra is NOT fat AT ALL, and in my opinion, you must be insecure about your own bodies to critisize someone else's body, who doesnt even deseve criticism. (Not that anybody does, but im making a point.) Just because she is not a f***ing size 2 doesn't mean that she isn't beautiful. Beautiful women come in all shapes and sizes.

NOW as for all the racial commenent: Being Black has NOTHING to do with your attitude, your personality or anything. When Black women act "ghetto" you usually do something to upset them, like calling them derogatory names. Also, the person that commented on how Beyonce, Vivica A. Fox ect. are all fat: WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!????????!?!?!?!?!?? They are all gorgeous and have great bodies.


FOR ALL THE AGE COMMENTS: All of you "adults" are acting pretty immature to me. insulting peoples personalities, intellegence, and even sexual preference, and you dont even know them. Yes, teeangers do not know eveything, but it is up to you "adults" to help us and encourage us.


NOW I REALLY REALLY WANT SOMEBODY TO SAY SOMETHING NEGATIVE ABOUT ME.

If you guys want to see my myspace to see that I actually have my life together and am not a stupid fucktard like you all are saying... here it is.

so go fuck yourselves and leave me the hell alone.

Thank you and have a great day.

well, if she's 160 she is fat and ugly

She has to be fat, part of her new job of being the next Oprah.

I think all this is crap. nobody has a right to judge her only GOD ALMITY himself & if any of you have a problem with that i want 2 c u try & take that up with the big guy. Trya is her own person with her own life & its none of yall buisness wether she gains weight or loses it. i doubt any of u would want anybody judgeing them & all up in their buisness all yall need 2 get your own lives & stay out of hers i bet somewhere down the line a family member or ancestor of yall's was slightly plus sized & they would be ashamed of what u really think of them. your children watch t.v. & look up to these people & if they could hear some of the things your saying i would feel sorry for them.everyone is beautiful no matter how they look & thats the example u should be showing your children everybodies body type is different & no matter how hard they try they cant change the way they look. grow & get a life & PRAY THAT GOD HAS MERCY ON YOUR SOULS. Trya your beautiful & dont need to change a thing its only the devil trying to take you down.
