  1. I loved ANTM and it was entertaining for what it was at the time. Times has changed and that’s just that.

  2. I LOVE ANTM, and I LOVE TYRA BANKS

    SUE ME!

  3. I loveee the show to death, however, now with the Top model chats on YouTube, I don’t like Tyra so much.

  4. They got Oliver Twixt to speak on the show but not Tyra 🤨

  5. i, for one, always thought tyra was a problematic, self-righteous narcissist, but nobody would listen to me!!!

  6. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah
    ashhad 'an la 'iilah 'iilaa allah

  7. Dang Tiffany looks totally different. Almost not recognize her

  8. I don’t understand why people don’t see the positive side of this show. This show came out in the early 2000s where we barely got to see LGBTQ people on national tv not cable national tv. This show had a trans woman as a contestant in 2008. We had LGBTQ judges Mr, Jay, Miss Jay, we never saw that on regular tv. And this was a reality show at the end of day, don’t know why people are criticizing it. That’s like going back to fear factor and tell them they were problematic. Every season they had crazy challenges because it’s a reality F**cking tv

  9. Tyra will be blamed for everything wrong with the show. In reality, I believe the production team played a role in turning the girls into clowns for entertainment.

  10. Omg, welcome to the world! Its called evolving 🥱

  11. This is a funny report.

  12. Idc if it's problematic, Top Model is iconic. Take me back to 2006…

  13. Tyra backs huge forehead lookin a*!

  14. ANTM was revolutionary for the time. You cannot fairly judge it from the 2020s.

  15. Tyra knows she's a b*tch, but those girls are not innocent since they are talking about something they agreed to do, no matter how nasty was the reality

  16. I don't think it's beneficial to keep harping on the lack of political correctness on ANTM. Time has passed, apologies have been issued, what more can possibly be done? Just be thankful that the show ended. There's literally nothing else that we can do. Take it as a history lesson of what we used to do but don't want to repeat and keep it moving. People on TikTok are angrier than the actual contestants who were involved.

  17. I still don't know why Tyra screamed at Tiffany

  18. What's all the fuss about? You need that never give up mentality. Millenials will be our downfall. Now every adults gets to come with their babysitter to work.

  19. The real problem is with social media, not America's Next Top Model.

  20. 💌💯 TEAM TYRA! 🧡The modeling industry back then, was only for 'Skinny girls and little/no Black models'. I applaud TYRA BANKS for allowing BLACK MODELS, PETTIE MODELS, MALE MODELS, PLUS SIZE to all COMPETE AND WIN! This was a COMPETITION to win $100,000 CONTRACT and magazine spreads! Of course their would be challenges (In the 2000s); There was no 'SOCIAL MEDIA' then. People had to WORK back in the days; Now, everything is on 'Smart phones'. The girls were flown around the WORLD FOR FREE! LIVED IN A DECKED OUT HOTEL FOR FREE, they signed up for this competition, 24 cycles! STOP COMPLAINING and get on with your lives!! this is getting really boring now!! #TEAMTYRA💯💯💯💥

  21. I am very disappointed in Tyra Banks, too! 😡

  22. Why did you put all these women together if there is nothing from their conversation?

  23. It was vile also in real time. I always hated that toxic, abusive show.

  24. Crazy that yall only care about looks

  25. People are so bored they're going back in time🤣😂😅

  26. Presentism is pointless. The show is dated, like Friends & many other shows- so what? All these tik tokers crying about it is USELESS! Why waste time protesting against the past when there are plenty of corrupt, unjust events occuring in the present day to bring awareness to! Social media has people focusing & complaining about the wrong things.

  27. Janice Dickenson looks like her heart.

  28. Tyra Banks epitomized the “Mean Girl” culture.

  29. “It’s a reality show, HELLO?!” – should have told the contestants. The amount of top designers and photographers in that show didn’t treat it as a reality show. Tyra Banks introduced it as a competition for models and the price was a career in modeling. Don’t tell us it was something else..again Janice not taking any accountability for her actions. These beautiful women were bullied and broken down, made to believe they were not trying hard enough, had to suffer severe body image problems and now Janice wants to say HELLO?! it’s just theatre? That’s not good enough.

  30. Where is the actual interview part (with the models)? 🤔 This video title/description is misleading 🙄

  31. Janice Dickinson the Simon Cowell of the model world. She was being extremely rude for controversy. And controversy means viewers. She previously explained she was playing a character, she knew what she was doing.

  32. There’s a reason why the tyra show isn’t online. Trust me. If it was available for streaming Tyra would have a lot of explaining to do.

  33. Janice is insufferable

  34. You should do a whole series on this.

  35. Their one goal was to make money for themselves
