The Average American

Posted by Bossip Staff

Tyra Banks Shop

OK! magazine’s woman of the year, Tyra Banks, was shopping earlier this week in LA looking like an average broad:

“An average American woman is size 12 or 14. So if I look like a 10 or 12 in a picture and someone says I look disgusting, are they saying the majority of America is disgusting?”

For the record, Tyra isn’t built like the average American woman.

    Where’s the story here guys?

  2. 1ST

    she’s cute! someone saw his profile with hot & sexy photos on “meet rich,com”, a dating site for celebrities and millionaires. It seems the profile looks sincere and attractive.

  3. too fast

    Cant see any, but Tyra is HOT!!

  4. Strong Black Man

    lol @bones…she’s attacking america’s “deepest problems”..trick please!

  5. Bones Jordan

    @ Strong, I know dog. This should be a ho sit down post.

  6. Kim

    Why is it that she never dresses up when she is out and about like Beyonce?


  7. I dint even recognize her in the first photo


  8. I LOVE TYRA! SHE STAY TRUE TO HERSELF! I LOVE THE OUTFIT HERE! THIS IS SOMETHING I WOULD WEAR!

  9. MiStYbLuE

    SHE DOES LOOK CUTE. WITH HER BIG BOBBLE HEAD *****…

    @ KIM.. JUST BECAUSE SHE’S A CELEBRITY DOESNT MEAN SHE HAS TO COME OUT DRESSED IN GLAM MODE ALL THE TIME. I WEAR SUITS AND HEELS EVERYDAY WHILE WORKING. THATS MY WEEKEND LOOK TOO. ITS SOMETHING LIBERATING ABOUT WEARING TENNIS SHOES WHEN YOU WALKING AROUND ON STILTS ALL DAY!

    Leave tyra alone! I am proud of her for not trying to starve herself to fit in to what soceity calls healthy. she has taken some time to enjoy what she wants to in life and if that means eating a couple of burgers and skipping the gym then good for her. She at least lets us feel like we don’t have to look like every other anorexic heffa on the tube.

  11. Mary J Blige

    I’m tired of this bish and her insecure *****. Always actin out like she so self-confident but that ain’t *****. ***** got mad insecurities and hence the reason she STAY obsessing bout her weight. them damn kini pics were a year ago Tyra. let that ***** go girl. I don’t even like this bish’s personality (she is self-absorved, and self-centred to the max, like me) but i gotta say: Tyra you look good, so keep off them biscuits and keep it movin.

    I think she looks really cute and I think it’s weird that Beyonce never dresses casual like that. Is it really necessary to wear heels EVERYWHERE you go??

  13. Sugarsweet

    I love Tyra she is Super Hot! I wish the media would stop giving her such a hard time.

  14. Darth Paul

    You said it, Mary J. Shouldn’t she be worrying about her wigs more than her weight?

  15. NuAgenda

    She looks cute!

  16. brinab

    tyra is so fake..she is servin y’all a plate of bull*****..***** is psychotic..one week its im not fat, next week its america doesnt accept full figured women, blah blah blah

  17. jamie

    i dislike her and for many reasons… first… she acts like she is someone who needs to be respected.. like her opinion is the end all and be all… secondly… if she were that confident in herself, she would stop rocking the lacefront and go for a more natural look… im tired of it… she prides herself on trying to come off as the average woman, but the average woman has bills to pay and *****… we don’t have time to act a fool like her… she needs to get off her high horse… its about time…

  18. Hoe Sit Down

    Tyra Banks is so damn annoying she errks my last nerves she left L.A cuz we saw right through her fake *****… Wasn’t *****ody tryna sit in her audience and put up w/ all her fake-ness. She is a HAM…


  19. Janice *****enson called her fat. Ain’t that some Hollyweird *****?


  20. Kim

    Why is it that she never dresses up when she is out and about like Beyonce?

    *****************************************************

    That is the thing I hate most about B. She is ultra fake. Throw on a pair of sneakers why don’t cha?!!?

  21. Hoe Sit Down

    And why is it that she’s always interrupting her guests and telling stories about herself…. WHO ASKED YOU??? It’s supposed to be about the guest, not you Tyra… She be killing me….


  22. Aww ***** look at that *****! that ***** got on K.Swiss!LOL

  23. John

  24. Kim

    Damn…Trick, Ho, and ***** by 3 different people. Top story of late is a man who allegedly molested young children, yet we find a way to talk down about Tyra. To each his own…

  27. Dalia

    Will somebody tell me what’s wrong with K-Swiss?

    I’m an ASICS girl myself, but I like K-Swiss.

    And Tyra looks good.

  29. Angel

  30. Tealeaf

    Cannot stand Fake Banks

  31. Dalia

    @ txshawty:

    Thanks. I feel better now.

    Usually the main ones dissing the K-Swiss sneakers have got a pair of them knocking the hell out of the dust bunnies under their bed.

  32. ELove

    MAN I Would put So-Much-***** to her ;-) Like the Isley Brothers said I would “Make Her Body Sing”

    Bossip you NEED to get Tyra to read this post and tell her that ELove’s is waiting to Sexually-Satisfy her Sexxy-FINE-***** For Real ;-)

  33. PaigeyWaigey

  34. MiStYbLuE

    LOL @ ELOVE .. AND @ ANGEL .. THATS TRUE WHY IS EVERY BLACK FEMALE IN HOLLYWOOD COMPARED TO BEYONCE. GAWD DAYYUM!

  35. I love Tryra I think she is an average american woman, stop the haters, I am proud of our black woman, please donot compare Beyonce with Tyra, tyra look great dress down in sneakers, but B look fake.

  36. please shut up tyra

    “An average American woman is size 12 or 14. So if I look like a 10 or 12 in a picture and someone says I look disgusting, are they saying the majority of America is disgusting?”

    yes tyra, they are. america is the fattest nation in the world, so spouting off the average size of an american woman like it’s some sort of norm…well it isn’t. a size 14 is the first size in a plus-size store. plus-size is a euphemism for fat. so the fact that the “average” american woman is fat is something that should be remedied, not celebrated.

  37. Delta Diva

    @please shut up tyra

    Just b/c someone is a size 14 does not make them unhealthy and just b/c someone is a size 6 does not make them healthy. It’s all about your BMI…

  38. sobrooklyn

    this is the reason i have a problem with tyra..when she was skinnier than skinny she never one wanted to stand up for what she calls the “normal size women ” now when her ***** to big to rub elbows with white america ..now she wants to get in touch with her inner self please stop…

    lol @ the k swiss ..i hate k swiss but i wouldnt know anyone for wearing them..shoot she looks comfortable

  39. Shamzy

    What the *****?!?!? I thought that was Beyonce!!!

  40. Mary J Blige

    Hoe Sit Down

    And why is it that she’s always interrupting her guests and telling stories about herself…. WHO ASKED YOU??? It’s supposed to be about the guest, not you Tyra… She be killing me….

  42. Really

    She looks great and younger, but damn all these brod look alike. I wasnt sure if that was Ciara or Jessica Alba and wouldnt have guessed Tyra. She looks better when her dome is covered.

  43. Really

    @ Kim

    Because she is NOT Beyonce. Beyonce looks fake as hell all dressed up all the time. Beyonce needs a ho sit down card and I have one with her name on it.

  44. anonymous

    Tyra looks cute! She is far from average & Beyonce wished she looked a good as Tyra!

    If only Tyra believed it herself. I think her low self esteem is obvious. Beyonce aint *****!!!

  45. Corree

    Everyone should know that Tyra does what Tyra does best: Talk about Tyra. This hooker ain’t married because she’s not allowed to marry herself.

  46. prima

    When did she start wearing a black wig? And why does that man behind her in a pink shirt look crazy? Like a serial killer?

  47. prima

    When did she start wearing a black wig? And why does that man behind her in a pink shirt look crazy? Like a serial killer? I didn’t already publish this.

  48. prima

    Why do you guys do that? (Bossip Staff?) Say that it ’s a duplicate comment when it’s not?

  49. prima

    Okay, Bossip.

  50. John

    HAD TO COME BACK FOR MORE! I WANT THIS GIRL!!!!!

  51. Bet

    Tyra is a beautiful, smart, funny, successful, and RICH Black woman. I celebrate who she is and hope there are alot more like her.

  52. Replay

    Weird. At first glance, I thought it was Kim Kardi. All these chicks are starting to look alike.

  53. Dalia

    Did anybody else notice how the white guy in the first thumbnail is looking at Tyra?

    Stalker Alert!!!!!!!!

  54. KillaBeeSwarm

    @dalia

    Thanks for pointing that out. Tyra looks so oblivious to stalker mere feet away! lmao

  55. david

    She looks terrible. She’s built like someone right on the brink of being fat. She is two hamburgers away from being a real porker!

  56. Thephatdiva

    First of all!!! Why do people think someone would want to be dressed up all the time? She looks good. She’s blending in with society and I’m sure a lot of stars would like to do that from time to time and second why is that man looking at her like that? I think he’s a stalker.


  57. If you’re a celebrity out shopping wouldn’t you try to look like you fit in with the crowd. Tyra looks great and we need more black women in entertainment. Tyra’s the next Oprah….she’ll have a media empire someday.


  58. David – go suck a bone!!!!


  59. the avg american woman is size 12?!?! wdh is america coming to when the average woman is fat haha i doubt thats true, but if so, that must really suck to have rolls and cellulite!!but tyra keep telling youself that to make yourself feel better bc u cant be skinny anymore!

    size 2
