We thought the hatchet has been buried....
Tyra Banks appeared on a Norwegian-Swedish show Skavlan with photographer partner Erik Asla.
When the talk show host Fredrik Skavian asked Tyra about her early modeling days. She also spilled details on how she feels about Naomi Campbell while blaming Campbell for causing some of the lowest times of her life.
Tyra claims she had to quit modelling agencies and that her mother even quit her job due to their feuding ways.
Here’s what she said:
“I got to Paris and it was very difficult. I did very well, very fast. But then the industry was saying, “Look out Naomi Campbell, here comes Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell sit your butt down, this younger one is coming to take your place. It was really unfair to her because the other models that weren’t black, like Kate Moss came up, we were the same generation, they weren’t saying, ‘Look out Christy Turlington, this cheek bone girl has cheekbones higher than yours! Get back!’ You know, so they weren’t saying that. ‘So, you know, it wasn’t fair to Naomi”She continues,
“I don’t want to go too deep into the past, but it was very difficult, very, very. Some of the lowest times of my life I’m dealing with that. I don’t condone her actions and her response, but I understand where it comes from, because the world is saying “you’re not gonna have your spot, we’re gonna take your money, we’re gonna take your fame, go sit down, there’s somebody else.”
