Top Model Contestant Tells Tyra She’s Knocked Up
Posted by Bossip Staff
This ish is just ridiculous. It’s bad enough that she’s pregnant, unmarried and a reality TV reject but she’s only 18. Pop the top for more
“I was told multiple times over and over that I couldn’t get pregnant just from my scars holding me back, other physical things going on with my body,” Brookins says on The Tyra Banks Show, airing Wednesday. “I was always told I was never going to be able to conceive children.”
The 18-year-old Cycle 12 contestant — who had suffered second- and third-degree burns all over her body when she was eight months old and has since endured 14 surgeries to treat her wounds — was surprised by the news.
“My initial reaction to my pregnancy was shock,” she says, adding that she and her boyfriend, David Michaels Jr., 18, had been going through a hard time.
Why is Tyra celebrating yet another unplanned, unwed, soon-to-be single mother?

Dear Bossip
STFU! Marriage does not mean happiness, she’s 18-not 14, how the hell do you know she’ll be single? Even if, I’m sure she’ll be a good mom. Stop this marriage crap, if there is love and intelligence a child or family will be as one. A damn marriage certificate doesn’t make a loving family.
A baby is a blessing. While she is unmarried and its unexpected, its still a miracle. Considering the fact that she thought she could never have children…stop complaining bossip!
I agree with mizjulie..marriage is not the end all be all. I am married myself, and its no walk in the park. My mom and Dad were never married, but he was in my life, and thats makes all the difference in the world. Not the piece of paper.
Congratulations!
that’s a blessing
and NO ONE is in a position where they can judge someone about that bcuz that’s probably how u got here yourself
why does her stomach look like that in the picture????
@Mizjulie
Tell it like it is!
Here, the same folks who celebrate, in living color, promiscuity and indecency, not to mention any mindless chick who’s willing to drop her top or her drawers for a camera shot, suddenly have set these unrealistic standards for what appears to be an average young woman over the age of 18? Please! Even you’re super moral or you’re not – make up your minds!

Kudos to the black ***** that rode that ugly broad in efforts to plant his seed in what he thought would be a winner in a bogus competition. That’s all SOME (key word being SOME) *****s are about laying their seeds and continue to live up to medicore legacy of being deadbeat dads (the vicious cycle continues)…thats no surprise

Ole Oltis we need ya on da other thread!!!!!!
She probably got pregnant over on the ***** thread!!!! They got som freaky ish going on ova there!!!!
I think we need “Ole Otis” to break up a fight between a African dude and woman who may or may not be french
MY PEOPLE STOP TURNING A BLIND EYE TO EVERY DAMN THING!!!! Why diss marriage? If you can’t get married or things worked despite it, that ok..FOR YOU. But don’t act like being unwed and making babies is THE life to live.
Marriage is a basis for anchoring family life. Look at history and civilizations! It is an institution for accountability. Men are physically designed to easily impregnate women. There needs to be some additional bond or union to tie that man to that woman and their child. Marriage is not all fairy tales, true. But its about civilization. Couple->Family->Community->Society
If folks would just care for their own damn families we would be less destruction now.
Check out this Pbs doc “Crips and Bloods: Made in America”. Many gang members cited that because there was no male in the house, the mothers had to work 2-3 jobs, leaving the streets to raise them.
she was up on ANTM tryna look like a goodie two shoes…shoulda known… 20 and under keep ur legs close please unless ur gonna wrap up! its hard being a teenage mother! learn from the people who come b4 you…please dummies….its not cool…baby’s are meant for adults who are grounded and ready for babies
@Mamacita
Her stomach looks like that because she was burned as a child, those are scars left from what happened to her.
@mizjulie….DITTO! SO SO TRUE,WELL SAID!
because tyra is a loser and celebrates loser things
Tahlia didn’t think that she could get pregnant so she did the deed with her boy friend not thinking she would be pregnant. So she’s vey happy and now she’s having baby ! That’s nice, I think she’ll look better with a more weight on her body hell she can become a beautiful plus-size model.
What is Wrong w/My People>>>The mentality that you stated in your post is and will continue to be the downfall of black America. Good luck trying to get that through some people’s heads. This is the reason why so many out of wedlock babies keep popping up in our community and we talk about, “Congratulations” or this “children are a blessing” mess. Yes, children are a blessing when they enter a home with two parents that are equipped and prepared for them, and I don’t mean playing house. Get educated (especially some of the younger people) as to what marriage is about. I betcha don’t know. P.S. Stop with this “being judgmental” mess especially since the same ones flapping their jaws probably judge people everyday. They just don’t like hearing the truth.
And for those saying, marriage isn’t the end all. Duh, that’s not the point. Find out what marriage is about and stop celebrating single motherhood!
P.S. What could an 18 year old possibly offer a baby. You’re still wet behind the ears yourself.
How do you know if Tahlia and her bf David won’t have a wedding in the future ? As long as they love each other and their baby it doen’t matter if they get married or not.
Congradulations to Her and Good Luck!
Well I disagree with Wordtothewise and other people who have the same view as this individual. I am 19 5 months pregnant and will be a single parent. I currently attend LSU and have 2 more years left. I have a supportive family, been employed since I was 16 and even though i am young, i got into this fully knowing what to expect. I know it will be hard. Parenting is hard at ALL ages and all marital statuses: single or married! As long as you have some type of support system and have your head on straight then there’s no reason why you cant raise a child by yourself.
PLEASE DONT BE SO QUICK TO JUDGE!
@ Unknown
>>>>>>>>> i got into this fully knowing what to expect <<<<<<<<<<
Ummmmmm…..huh? Yeah, you sound like a silly 19yr old. “I got into this fully knowing what to expect” So, you got into this on purpose. You sound dumb. You didn’t get into this, you FELL into this. Unless, well, you did this on purpose, but even then how in the world would you know what to expect?
YOU NEED TO BE QUICKER TO JUDGE!!
@Unknown, that’s fine that you disagree. I’m not surprised. You sound like you have a wonderful future ahead of you. Yes, parenting is hard at all ages, but I guarantee you that most single mothers would tell you (I know because I’m 45 and used to *****ist with our single mother’s group at my former church and trust and believe, I know a lot of single mothers) that it’s even harder going it alone. Trust me, my mother was divorced when I was two and raised three children alone. She did a damn good job, but it was tough to say the least not having a husband, not only to support her, but for her children. My grandmother took care of us while my mom worked 2 full time jobs just to make ends meet; however, she didn’t have family spending money to help take care of us and she didn’t reach out to them because she knew we were HER responsibility, not theirs. Children deserve to have two parents involved in their lives. That’s a no brainer. I don’t understand why people keep acting as though this isn’t true. Look around you at the statistics when it comes to black children growing up without a father in the home. It’s great you have support, but does that support mean they are helping you raise your child? Why is that a family’s responsibility? When my friends 16 year old daughter got pregnant, she made it clear that she (her daughter) the one that experienced the pleasure of making that baby not her so she’s thoroughly responsible for taking care of that child. You don’t know what to expect until that child is here and you have sleepless nights and the demands of motherhood hit home. A lot of young people think this way.
Hopefully as Tropical English just said, at 19 years of age, your judgment will be much quicker. Just my opinion. Good luck.
Sorry to anyone else that disagrees. We all have our opinions and this is mine. I make no apologies.
BOSSIP LUVS ***** LIKE THIS…

___________________________________________________
Well, I don’t know what other 18 year olds offer their children, but I had my first child at 18, and I offered her unconditional love…something that a lot of rich people fail to offer their children. I offered her commitment, honesty, integretity, respect for others and herself. Above all, I offered her a knowlege of a higher power…to understand that if God allows it to happen then it’s for a reason. Now, that beautiful, baby girl that I had out of wedlock(oh, and I ended up marrying her father)can look at a woman who greatly matured because of her. My children were God’s blessings to me. They were my sanity. Because of my children, I am driven to succeed. This same 18 year old who had her first child out of wedlock is now happily married with three children and two degrees. I don’t think I would be the woman that I am today had it not been for my children. Rest *****ure that even when things seem hopeless, God has a plan.

You’re absolutely right…a marriage certificate does not make a loving family, but if you play your cards right and the marriage fails, a marriage certificate makes the paper maker pay you alimony…lol. Seriously though, marriage doesn’t make everything alright, but I still think a marriage is primitive.
Marc B’s Honey (sugar ain’t got sh*t on me)>>>That is absolutely fantastic! Your situation turned out for the best for everyone involved. There are always exceptions to the rules. Your situation just happened to turn out great, but when you look around, not too many people in that situation have the “God blessed me” story you have. That’s all I’m saying.

You surely don’t think that the average ***** who hooks up with one of you random *****hos at the club has designs to make y’all their future babymama, do you? The problem with you *****hos, is that y’all can’t discern the difference between recreational and procreational sex. You ***** *****es for the most part are the only indigenous species of female in this country who’ll allow itself to get inpregnated by some ***** you barely know or don’t know at all, via the club or whatever, and expect said ***** to drop everything to play daddy/husband/ATM to some stray piece of ***** (you) (and the ***** seed you stupidly carried to term), he met at the club…Now does that ***** makes sense to you? You **********s bear the responsibility of childbirth, so you’d think that y’all would protect yourselves so you don’t wind up as another “GHETTO CLICHE”…But by most of y’all **********s, rationale, y’all still deny all culpability and accountability in y’all’s poor life choices.
Yall are ignorant as hell. This woman was told she could NOT have children. Do you know how devastating that is to a woman. Grow the hell up and stop being so self righteous. Disgusting…
Marquis de Sade – You are a racist misogynistic idiot. (And yes, I know that you have no idea what misogyny means or who the Marquis actually was!)
18 is actually not too young to have a baby. It may not be ideal, but she is not a child. This is actually a normal age to have children in most of the world.
@ WHAT’S WRONG WITH MY PEOPLE?
marriage is NOT the basis for anchoring family life. And your whole argument about marriage building civilization is unfounded. Marriage (as we think of it today) started off as an agreement between two people, a partnership. There weren’t any certificates, weren’t any state seals… just an agreement. So why would it be so wrong for two people in a relationship to agree to be together and provide for their child WITHOUT being married? Now that’s not to say that marriage is wrong… it’s only pointing out that NOT being married doesn’t have to be wrong either.
Secondly, I don’t get your argument about marriage and children. Marriage binds a man to a woman not a man to his child… DNA does that. It doesn’t matter if you’re married or not, you can still pay child support if the child is biologically yours so what does marriage have to do with anything. A man (what I consider a REAL man) is not going to feel any stronger about his children if he’s married to their mother as opposed to if he’s not married to her.
DiMi
LOL! Spoken like a true ***** ho.
marquis de sade hates himself
what is wrong wit yal. She was told she would never be able to have children,so this is a blessing. By the way all of yal sayin how being a single mother is so hard,shes not even single.Even if she was a single mother, that does not mean that she will be a bad mother.
how is having a baby a blessin?
i don’t understand that.
if you’re not fit to be a parent or you cant afford to take care of that baby, is it still a blessing?
Plus-she’s 18, no career, no education, no stability.
what a blessing!
how can you say she is not fit to be a mother. I have seen people that are 18, 19 and they have had babies and have been wonderful mothers. They didnt have the best jobs at first but they had a great support system(family,friends,baby’s father) that helped them unitl they were able to get a job that could support them and their children.
18 is young to have a child but noth that young. At least she is old enough to get a job where she can support her and her child. I have seen girls become pregnant as young as 12. So 18 does not sound that young to me.
chiquita, 18 yrs-old is way too young to have a child. the odds are stacked against her. sure, there are a few people who make out alright but it’s obviously not the best thing to do.
i wouldn’t want my younger sister to have a baby at 18 would you?
however most young girls were not told at a young age that they would never have children. The girl did not get pregnant on purpose. She thought there was a zero percent chance that she would be able to get pregnant, therefore in her case it is a blessing. One of my best friends was told that she too could not have children, because she had suffered from cancer. Fortunately she was able to have a child, she had a daughter at the age of 20. So we all considered it to be a blessing. In my case I know that I am capable of having children. Therefore this would not be a blessing for me at this time, because I know that I have the option to have them later in my life.
