After some recent pictures of supermodel Tyra Banks hit the internet, there was media uproar about how ‘fat she’s become. The hype became so intense that Tyra felt the need to address the issue in the current issue of People Magazine. Sure Tyra’s gained some weight, but I feel it’s a huge stretch to say that she’s fat. Tyra says that she weighs 161 pounds, but she’s 5’10″, I hardly think that counts as overweight. She also says that she decided to speak on this issue in order to let girls know that the photo that started this frenzy “is not ugly.”

I think that this is one step against thinspiration!!!!!Bravo Tyra
YOU PEOPLE NEED TO STOP INSULTING HER… SHE IS A GREAT WOMAN TRYING TO DO GREATFOR HER SELF AND OTHER PEOPLE… GET A LIFE YOU JERKS
The funny thing is, even when Tyra was at her smallest, she was always considered a full figure model.
I have a problem with tyra because she has “suddenly” become this champion of “regular/plus” size women AFTER her modeling career is over. She is free to gain the weight now because she is no later retired from modeling, yet her show America’s Next Top Model still promotes that pin thin look in order to be successful in the industry. Not feeling her. Too many contradictions.
I don’t think she’s fat at all, but the bathing suits she’s wearing in both pictures are not flattering. But she’s aging, people can’t expect her to stay a size 0 forever.
