The photo was taken on a Sydney Beach in December and when our producer innocently asked her for a weight loss secret last week, Tyra assumed we were talking about the photo.
“Um, no, we are not going to talk about that, thanks,” she told our cameras.
She could not even believe how angry and vicious people were in talking about how she looked in those pictures.
People magazine’s Galina Espinoza told Access, Tyra has mixed feelings about her weight gain.
“She says when she puts on her jeans, bigger jeans than what she wore a year ago, mind you she doesn’t like the fact that her stomach spills over the top of the waist band,” Espinoza says.
Tyra’s 5′10″ frame today looks nothing like her 1997 Sports Illustrated or this sexy GQ photo shoot we shot with her back in 1999.
On the Victoria’s Secret runway she was always curvy, but nothing like the photos that surfaced this past December.
“She’s not gonna kill herself to lose weight,” Galina notes. “She’s resigned herself to putting on about five pounds a year nearing 200 pounds by age 40,”
Tyra certainly never shied from showing her body on her talk show �" or talking about body issues.
“I’ve had cellulite since I was 13-years-old and I wouldn’t be caught dead on a runway showing my booty because I have dimples in it,” Tyra once said.
I’m less concerned about weight issues, and more concerned about wig issues when it comes to Tyra Banks. Glue on your forehead is not a good look. At least, not for me. Still, she’s gorgeous, so I can’t really hate on her.
