Memo to Tyra: Kiss my non-celebrity fat ass.
Tyra’s tearful declaration in February 2007–after her consuming of too much fodder became fodder for the tabloids—is falling on deaf ears this fall. Clocking in at a healthy 161 pounds, apparently, Tyra wasn’t as OK with her figure (and fat ass) as she would like her audiences to believe.
Or maybe even herself.
Much to this classy lady’s chagrin, the tabloids got under her skin and performed their own type of lipo. Tyra kowtowed.
Fast forward almost two years and “new Tyra” is 30 pounds lighter. In the premiere of The Tyra Banks Show this fall, she declared that the “get healthy” pact was originally between her and a few friends, and the media just happened to notice her dramatic weight loss. So she just had to share her secret with everyone. (Why don’t we buy the “media taking notice” story? ’Cause we’re not stupid.)
Tyra is in shape, that’s for sure. But she is skinny, really skinny, really, really skinny. Not Olsen-skinny, but sad-skinny, like when you see her, you know she caved.
Not exactly something she promoted when she said:
“So I have something to say. To all of you that have something nasty to say about me or women who are built like me … women who have been picked on, women whose husbands put them down, women at work or girls at school – I have one thing to say to you: Kiss my fat ass.”
Or even recently:
“I get so much mail from young girls who say, “I look up to you, you’re not as skinny as everyone else, I think you’re beautiful,” So when they say that my body is ‘ugly’ and ‘disgusting’, what does that make those girls feel like?”
For someone who is always promoting a positive body image for women OF ALL SIZES, and supposedly helped curvy women stay proud, it’s more than a shame to see her rail-thin. For women who are “picked on” for their weight, Tyra’s “loud and proud” advice is apparently for everyone but her.
Come back, “Old Tyra.” And keep the real hair.

BulimicBikini Bod! I’m not sure who the bigger hypocrite is on this...
She looked better with more weight on her frame. Now she looks sick, sort fo that jenna Jameson Crack Smoking look.
She wants to be the next Oprah. Just not the next fat Oprah.
Hey, now she’s about my size.
WTF, there’s no way in hell I’d work as a lingerie model…
Oprah’s size? Which incarnation?
I wasn’t even sure that was her, her beautiful face is now too gaunt.
Okay, your joints are NOT supposed to look swollen in comparison to the rest of your limbs. If she wants to tighten up some areas, and convert some muscle to fat, that’s her business. I wouldn’t even say that’s necessarily hypocritical. However, this is an unhealthy, seriously distorted body that she is rocking, and she needs to get herself a sandwich and a nutritionist, STAT!
Get some fat back on that ass, Tyra! You look better with it.
I meant Tyra…seriously, I’m wondering how much breast size she lost with the weight.
She’s the only celeb in this situation I feel sorry for. I can only imagine the pressure she, as a former model, feels to lose weight. After all, fat model=worthless, and that must be a hard mindset to get rid of. That and she looks genuinely miserable, unlike the Jennifer Love Hewitt’s of the world who prance around smugly grinning in bikinis and US Weekly covers.
yeah i was wondering about this too. miss i don’t care if i’m healthy but i’ll go lose 30 pounds? right ok. her face looks sunken in and is it just me or do her feet like.. big? bigger??

Tyra is 5′10″, as I recall.
She looks sick.
Or like a balloon someone has let the air out of. EAT SOME CHEESEBURGERS, TYRA!
