Gossip & Rumors
Tyra Fried Over "Porkchop" Shots

Tyra Banks isn't fat ... she's fabulous! Ask her, she'll tell you.

The supermodel-turned-talk diva is on a fat attack after websites posted unflattering vacation photos of her in a one-piece bathing suit. On this Thursday's episode of her eponymous show, Tyra dons the same swimsuit in an attempt to prove that the photos and headlines were wrong -- claiming that they were taken at a bad angle. Take a look, she may be right!

Banks disses and dismisses the headlines attributed to the pics, with her "favorites" being "Porkchop" and "America's Next Top Waddle."

She may have gained some weight, but she hasn't lost her sense of humor! Go Tyra.

32. Please stop blaming eating disorders on the media. Images of thin women have little, if anything, to do with anorexia/bulimia. These are casued by existing mental strife, not merely a desire to be thin. The more pressing problem is the obesity epidemic, which loons like Tyra perpetuate by being huge fat asses.

33. Bless her heart. If she wants to gain a little bit of weight, let her. She's gorgeous no matter what. Meanwhile, 1985 called. It wants its bathing suit back. Blech.

35. bad angle my a$$!
In the two older pictures her face was rounder, she had an extra chin, he upper boob fat was ready to explode and her thighs were like two juicy grilled porkchops.
And if there is a field where they KNOW how to make you drop weight quickly through Clenbuterol, diuretics and such....its modeling.

I like my women full but I really enjoy the fact that this is happening to her as opposed to a Nell Carter or even the british chick from Titanic.
Banks made her money promoting the unhealthy body image of her industry, so its karmic payback that when she is now at her normal weight that she is being ridiculed.

And wasnt she a kook a few years ago? I dont mean Naomi Campbell psycho but it seems to me she had a reputation for being a diva (in modeling? No!!)

As for beautiful, ....I spent the week in bed doing what 46 year old white women do and saw her show for the first time. Ill skip the show because after a whole day of similar sludge my brain just shut off but good looking?
With those big bugged out eyes, she looks like a cartoon character.

Add Rhianna's frankestein forehead and you have a great new additions to the Muppets.

36. You freakin' dumbasses. She's scamming you. It's all about attention. Anyone with the brain of a seagull can figure out she's doing this for the publicity. Do you honestly believe her? Come on, she's a lousy liar. The only thoughts between those ears are about what color eyeshadow to wear.

37. This is so lame. Who cares if she gained weight but she's the one making a big deal out of it. She says it's ok to be chubby yet she's denying she is. You can tell she lost weight only to claim she's not fat. She talks with a fork tongue. Teliing her young fans it's ok not to be stick skinny but she's upset she was called fat!

38. I think people are just in shock to see what a REAL woman is supposed to look like... "ooooh, what are those 2 big round things on her chest?" Her boobs!! REAL women have them! And they also have a meaty ass, and hips and thighs... it's the different between men and women! Tyra is beautiful, classy, strong, and I'm glad that she's pissed off at being called "fat", that instead of ignoring it she's addressing the fact that it's comments like that, calling a perfectly healthy woman of a normal weight and great beauty "fat", that make young girls want to starve themselves, puke their food, and slowly kill themselves to be a more "appropriate" (by Hollywood's f'ed up standards) size 0. Bravo, Tyra!

39. Tyra, you now have more of yourself to love and we all know you do love yourself.

40. Now this is a chick I cannot figure out. On her talk show one day, she talks to women about accepting their inner beauty or encouraging them to leave a crummy boyfriend. Then on another day, she's either getting a plastic surgeon to tell the world her boobs are real or she's standing in a bathing suit to prove she's not fat. WTF??? I guess she's all for other women having the confidence to be themselves unapologetically, but personally, she must not really be that secure in her own skin.

It's painful to watch her do stuff like this. What is she trying to prove, and who is she trying to prove it to? Do we see other celebs do stuff like this? No. It's kinda sad.

42. hey fat ass looks like your modeling days are over

43. So, some unflattering pictures of her in a bathing suit end up on the internet. Then she goes on her own talkshow in the same bathing suit telling everybody how un-fat she is.
I can't decide whether she's an egomaniac or really insecure. Either way, she needs to rethink her self-centered show topics.

44. I think this whole discussion about Tyra's weight is disgusting.

SHE LOOKS LIKE THE AVERAGE WOMAN!!!

To call her fat is not fair, Tyra has retired from modeling, she doesn't have to live up to that ridiculous standard anymore. This sets a bad example for little girls....WHO ARE KILLING THEMSELVES!!

This is one of the reasons eating disorders are running RAMPANT in the United States. Young girls are KILLING themselves to look like something that doesn't exist.

And gossip rags like TMZ only help to further KILL little girls with this weight bullshyt! A woman should be curvy...she shouldn't look like a little boy!

Enough already!
