Did "Top Model" Troop Trash Tribeca Loft?

Posted Mar 10th 2008 5:11PM by TMZ Staff

The bitchy beauties of "America's Next Top Model" made a pricey Manhattan loft their personal romper room, according to a new report, causing $500K in damage -- and supposedly reneging on a $125K settlement deal.

TMZ just spoke to two residents of 39 Lispenard Street, and they confirmed that the place was "trashed," and that the management company has had "serious" problems with their not-so-model neighbors.

Earlier, the New York Post reported that the 14 girls splattered "ketchup and coffee" all over the walls, damaged a $15,000 chandelier "beyond repair" and caused $90,000 of damage to a store below. What's more, according to the Post, the crew "punched hundreds of holes in the ceiling" and tore up the Brazilian wood floors.

TMZ tried to contact the landlord, Michael Marvisi, who's threatening to sue, but he couldn't be reached. We also called the CW and Tyra Banks' rep, but they had no comment.

31. Well why would they put so much money into a room that barely gets filmed?
Kind of a bad move there.

33. So help me understand where the "crew" was when all this was happening. Aren't the cameras running 24/7? If so and they didn't step in then isn't Banks productions responsible? Or did they just "let" it happen for the publicity? I love Tyra and the show. I also think the show should show some behind the scenes with the judges to even things out as well. Like what are they doing during the days the girls are doing their shoots? What are their jobs like in the "industry"?

34. Well, well....as a landlord (unlike popular opinion we are not all greedy, rich, out to screw our tenants) let me say that this kind of behavior is not exclusive to top models and rock stars. Seemingly normal middle income people also trash property when it isn't theirs...luckily not all the time or we would all be going under trying to keep up. Too bad there wasn't some 'babysitting' going on...seems like a logical thing for Tyra & company to do when they are responsible for the show and the models lodging. Some kind of 'models', huh?

35. this just goes to prove tv shows like this should not be put on air. its a privelag to be on these shows and these girls should all be thrown off the show cancel the darn season!! put something that we all know wont cause this much damage to were they go and expect to pay the full price of there folly if it actually does occur. come on tyra get real girl dont make these girls think its ok to trash a room and get away with basically a slap on the rist.

36. What brats. (Half those girls have man faces anyway. And they're unhealthy-looking. Give them some cheeseburgers and stop giving them bad haircuts!)
Good job, camera crew and producers, or whoever was even nearby. Couldn't stop a few reality TV queenies from becoming a major financial liability?

38. they are supposed to be role models not destroy everything and then expect no one to not follow in there foot steps.

39. Ha! This really doesn't surprise me. The models on that show have just gotten bitchier and bitchier with every season. In my opinion, ANTM has officially run its course. If something like this doesn't run the whole show off of the air, then those brats will do something else that finally puts it over the edge. I'm going to watch tonight, hoping to get a glimpse of all of this on the show. But I'm not holding my breath, they wouldn't want their precious models or Tyra to look bad now would they?

40. So does this mean the recording/contest ended (even though on tv it's still going on)? i suppose since they did trash the place.

41. These girls just have an over estimate on exactly who they are. They think that because they got on a TV show because they are pretty, they are better than any one else - including the countless other normal members of society that are on TV for being pretty. There is something to be said about going about your business as a professional. Even is that business is maybe having a chance to be a model because you got on to the tenth season of a show on the CW. Does anyone even know their names? I mean, seriously? Their nobodies!

45. Don't tie Oprah into this....THIS IS TRYA'S Show not Oprah's.....And i think Tyra needs to talk to these girls and get them back in line....She's good at making harsh but neccesarey speeches so why isn't she talking to the girls?
