Paulina’s Feelings On Getting Fired: “Tyra is America’s Next Top Beyotch”

Posted by Bossip Staff

AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL

Paulina recently got the stiletto boot from ANTM and she isn’t mincing any words about her stank relationship with Fivehead Lacefront Banks:

Supermodel Paula Porizkova said she was fired from “America’s Next Top Model” due to what producers called an ego problem. In a new interview for Access Hollywood and “The Billy Bush Show,” Paulina opened up to Billy about her dismissal as a judge from the popular reality series, created and hosted by Tyra Banks. “I must admit I was having a little bit of an issue with Tyra being late for every judging,” she told Billy. “It’s six hours later and I feel like I am being told my time is not as valuable as hers. They pointed out that I should shut up and be grateful for the job and that Tyra is really busy.”

“I think that my little hissy fits about ‘Well, we are all here on time. Why can’t she (Tyra)?’ didn’t go over all that well,” added Paulina, who replaced the previous judge, supermodel Twiggy. When asked if there might have been an issue that she was the only other woman on the judging panel, Paulina said she didn’t think that was the case, especially when it comes to Tyra. “I don’t think that in Tyra’s universe that’s even a consideration. I don’t think she cares,” she said. “I’m not even sure she was aware that I existed way out there in Siberia, much like I am not sure she knew Twiggy existed.”

And while Paulina and Tyra clearly didn’t get along in the professional landscape, did the two have any off-camera conversations? “I wouldn’t know [what kind of person Tyra is] because all I know of her is literally when we are on set talking to each other in front of the cameras,” the supermodel said. “That is the only time she would speak to me.” As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Paulina first revealed the news of their squabble during an appearance on the “Late Late Show” with Craig Ferguson earlier this week. “Listen, do you know why I am in Los Angeles?… Because I am looking for a job,” Paulina told Craig. “I was fired by ‘America’s Next Top Model’ on my birthday.”

Damn, Tyra. Ya wig on too tight? Can’t even speak to folks who work with you?

  3. Jade Hummingbyrd

    I love ANTM…and all I noticed from that show about Paulina is that she was very nasty to the girls without cause…now I don’t put all that ish about Tyra past her, but I’m just wondering if her general stank attitude wasn’t a factor in all of this too.

  4. Lady M

    tut…such a ***** Tyra…ackin like da *****…Paulina’s damn rite cho late *****

  5. tasty t

    I LOVE ANTM ALSO AND I DONT KNOW TYRA PERSONALLY, BUT WHAT PAULINA NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND TYRA IS YOUR BOSS YOU ARE NOT HERS AND IF YOU WERE NOT HAPPY WITH THE SITUATION YOU SHOULD OF LEFT A LONG TIME AGO CONTRACT OR NOT I KNOW FOR ME I AM NOT GONNA STAY WHERE I AM NOT HAPPY AT. SO IF SHE IS LATE ALL THE TIME AGAIN IT’S HER SHOW AND THEN YOU SAY SHE DOES NOT SPEAK TO YOU ONLY IN JUDGING THEN HELL I WOULD OF BEEN GONE I DONT WANT A WORKING RELATIONSHIP LIKE THAT SO DONT PUT IT ALL ON TYRA YOU ARE JUST AS MUCH AT FAULT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT YOUR OWN HAPPINESS MATTERS AND THAT YOU DID NOT HAVE TO PUT UP WITH TYRA’S ***** SO PAULINA JOIN THE REST OF US IN THE UNEMPLOYMENT LINE GOD BLESS

  6. Serene

    you’d have to be a tyra stan to not see past all her fakeness, and i’m not talkin about her hair. I just find her to be fake. ANTM, and her talk show……she’s just fake all round…..i feel the genuineness when i watch her

  7. GIVEDADDYSOMESUGAR

    Oh well, when the boss says it’s over, you are done. Tyra pulled her out of obscurity so she should just be grateful for the opportunity and keep it moving.

  8. Kay

    This show was dead after Danny and Jaslene.

  9. DCKitten

    The Show has been dead your right thats because some of them want to be models fake there image for the TV.
    TYRA been doing this Janice *****erson was also fired. I think its just she wants a different Judge. i just wonder why these woman are not told up front we only need you for 1 or 2 cycles.
    And TYRA appears to be very private, you know the sneakin, creepin with somebody else man type
    She needs to try somoething different go to the HOOD and hand pick some girls with beautiful faces, or let AMERICA vote one time, she needs to switch it up though

  10. DoReMi

    If she hadn’t been given the axe there may have been some credibility to what she’s saying but right now ol girl just sounds bitter.

    NEXT!


  11. As a professional black man who has been being block by others in the black community,I can believe this story.It’s possible that she might have a attitude but I can tell that tyra is caught up in her own hype because of the way she interviews her inner circle guests,on her talk show.This is a clear and ever growing case,of black forgetting were they come from. I have been calling them out on this for a while,and the reason I’m being blocked………….Steve Harvey “BLOCKER”

  12. sepia830

    If Heidi Klum had fired her *****, she probably wouldn’t have been talking sh*t. But it’s Tyra..a sista. Paulina is probably just mad because she now has to sit and wait for Tyra whereas she USED to be someone worth waiting for.

  13. LeahLeah

    Tisk Tisk,who says you have to be friends with your boss? It is better if you don’t so you won’t mix business with pleasure. The way times are now,it’s not that hard to suck it up, sit there and be QUIET and let her be 20 hours late. YOU’RE GETTING PAID big bucks to do so.
    Yes I believe Tyra is a beeotch, but hey as long as your not being mean too me and I can pay my bills and take care of my baby. I’ll be okay

  14. Kanye Lover All Dai

    I liked twiggy better anyway becasue paulina seems very naaty toward the girls

  15. boot

    Thyra is a big bald head *****. She is totally self centered and thinks the world revolves around her. With her wierd legs and alien face!

  16. 2am

    Paulina is a Slavic ***** who could not tolerate a BlACK mogul as her boss

  17. LeahLeah

    @Kanye lover all dai, do u like getting ***** raped?

  18. Romy

    @2am

    Exactly. These white models treat the black ones any kind of way they choose. But when a black model becomes a mogul, these whites chicks get panic attacks.

  19. sasha

    I really didnt care for the way Paulina talked to the models , but Tyra I can believe it. She isnt all that she makes herself believe!!

  20. luvgossip

    Tyra is pry a selfish beyotch, but if Paulina didn’t like that she was constantly late (who would?) then why didn’t she just quit on her own?

  21. CICI

    ***** Tyra shes a WALKING CONTRADICTION

  22. Rolly

    Boo hoo white girl! Paulina was just mad that she couldn’t take over Tyra’s *****! White people have a problem with no being able to take over a black person’s idea and money. Paulina was a *****, so was Janice and Twiggy! Had it been the other way around – it would have been the norm if Tyra got the axe! no one would have cared! Paulina was just mad that Tyra got it going on and she doesn’t. Now that ***** needs to look for a job just like the rest of us!

  23. hateseveryone

    why the hell is it that whenever anything happens all of you ridiculous people have to make it about race? I’m starting to think that more regular people are creating the problem of racism, and not the actual racists.


  24. Paulina’s attitude to the models especially the black ones was so obvious last cycle she had to judge the challenge with the salsa dance and you clearly saw that Aminat won and she choice Celia who Tyra and the other judges later sent home on the same episode…she got what was coming to her

  25. J'CAN-gal

    paulina got a lot of publicity,and the show needs a fresh face, so what i am sure she expected to be let go at some point depending on her contract, its business not personal.people just need to live their own lives and move on.

  26. dont worry abt it

    @ hateseveryone

    well u clearly need to wake up cuz racism is alive and well whether u wanna c it or not. its jus likely that paulina indeed is somewat racist jus as it is that shes not…tyra has done plenty for the community, not jus blacks, and helps a lot of ppl..did I mention makin tons of money and is the boss *****..of course someone, a white person especially who is not used to being the employee of a top black mogul is not gonna b happy in the situation becuz they’re used to havin the power and bein on top…look at how ppl just can’t handle barack being president but rather hav john mccain and sarah failin…plz…wake up and smell the fn coffee..black coffee that is..

  27. dont worry abt it

    plz paula or watever ur name is, u just sound salty cuz u got fired. Goodbye and good luck

  28. Whut??

    Since when do the employees get to tell the boss what time to get to work? Better get that check and hush…

  29. Miss Misha

    Damn six hours late EACH TIME??? Damn, Tyra! That’s not being the professional businesswoman you claim to be. I don’t care if you own the show or not, that’s some ghetto *****.

    And for the love of God, take that damn wig off!

  30. Elle'

    Who cares all of these people are self-absorbed and dont care about anything but theirselves as far TYRA being six hours late that is unprofessional. However, she owns the show and if you want to get your money then you shut-up get yours and when its time to move on then you do it! Besides we have to realize that Tyra is in a dog eat dog profession so being ” a *****” is sometimes necessary…she is fake to some extent but at the end of the day people are still tuning in to her show and are making her “real LV” wallet fatter!

  31. KoolAid

    I watch the show and you can definitely see the tension between Tyra and Paulina. Paulina’s really harsh when it comes to the girls. It kinda seems like she’s trying to be like Janice *****inson was. Like another commentor said though, Tyra’s the boss. I’m sure we’ve all had bosses we’ve wanted to punch in the face.

  32. Naomi.Is.Fierce

    that whole show needs to be axed, it’s really ran it’s course.

  33. Mrs. A

    Top Model needs to go off now. And Tyra is very self absorbed. You can tell on her talk show how she always seems to make the topic about her, or how she can relate (when she really can’t).

  34. Sim1

    Well, if she was getting a nice paycheck she should have just kept her mouth shut or found another gig. Thats what we, in the real world have to do. So she spoke out on the big boss – and got fired. Thats how the cookie crumbles! She wasnt so nice to the girl either..

  35. antm##!

    well, we all know that Tyra is a busy person, i personally believe that Paulina should go off. I don’t understand why Twiggy was fired, she was perfect, and never insulted the girls and if they had a bad picture, then she would politely say it’s not a good picture. BRING TWIGGY BACK!With ♥

  36. Cadence

    lmfo…this just made me like Tyra even more.

  37. Michelle

    Pualina says they only spoke during the on-camera moments, and thats fine. I can believe that. But when she adds in that Tyra wouldnt speak to me, it makes it sound like Paulina has continually attempted to become her friend and tyra was disinterested.

    Paulina was uneventful and will be soon forgotten. I only watched about 2 episodes of this season, and the last 30mins of the finale, but Paulina was never interesting in the last cycle either.

    I liked Twiggy- she was sweet, and was way ahead of the supermodel time, and shes still working.

    Janice was fired (deservingly so) for being racist. She did not want any black or other minorities to get far, and so she was asked to leave. Tyra doesnt let racist people ruin the show. I dont see how Janice can be compared to any guest judge on the show.

  39. kit

    who in the ***** has this show made into a top model.THAT FAKE ***** BULL*****

  40. BSStinks

    Tyra is a mess. I remember hearing about Mr. Jay having issues with her too. They weren’t sure if he was going to come back to the show or not, a few seasons ago. But, I guess, he chose keeping a job over going against Ms. Banks.

    Sadly, I think Tyra’s issues have to do with being very insecure and being a huge opportunist. She tries to act like she’s done it all and that she’s above everything, but being a little humble really goes a long way, no matter how much fame and fortune you’ve racked up over the years.

    She’ll learn her lesson one day. And as they say, it’s mighty lonely at the top. And know that the people that you stepped on to get up there will be the same ones that you’ll end up needing on your way back down.

  41. Leta354

    Tyra the tyrant – lol – as if ya’ll didn’t know that octo-forehead wasn’t squirrely

  42. ukFUnKy

    i’m not the biggest tyra fan ..to be honest she gets on my nerves …. but end of the day its her show and she can do what the hell she wants to…. she she go get her own show and do what the hell she wants to.

    tyra seems mean but evidently she can afford to be mean!

  43. kim

    Paulina is getting paid and she not to me a supermodel. Tyra put her back on the map. This was exposure for paulina to try her hand at something else. Don’t ***** now!!! If you were still at the modeling agency u wouldn’t ***** about it. Its about money not about attitude. Be happy u had a job in these days and time. She’s a ungrateful ***** thats trying to capitalize on Tyra. Again, we see that blacks who have powerful over whites are always the *****.

  44. Marquis de Sade

    Well what did Paulina think? ***** *****es have never been known for their appreciation for punctuality or professionalism. They are as they’ve always been: BOTTOM FEEDERS WHO’LL ALWAYS RESIDE AT THE BACK OF THE BUS.

  45. that's wazzup

    Paulina was one of my FAVORITE models back in the day (1980’s). I believe what she says… Tyra seems pretty fake.

    On Tyra’s talk show she plays all nice, bubbly, approachable, etc. I was in the audience of one of her tapings (when it filmed in Los Angeles)and if the camera was not rolling, Tyra would not say A SINGLE WORD TO THE AUDIENCE – we did not exist…. zero interatction with the audience. So I’m sure she threw ice at Paulina as well.

  46. mmm

    Its hard for me to believe she was 6 hours late for a judging I think their jived well with each other. Paulina wanted to be like Janice but Janice did it in a different way. I didnt like Paulina from teh beginning but then I am getting tired of the show especially since the girls are preselected in a private interview not like what we see on TV. Again reality (rolling eyes) is fake.

  47. CoCoChanel

    I watch the show and Paulina WAS rude with some of her comments to the girls, especially to the girl who supposively looked way old for her age. Theres a nicer way to say things, not every one’s looks are perfect, so I can understand Tyra firing her for that reason.

  48. Demeter

    @CoCoChanel, I agree she was kinda catty in some of her remarks.

    Just sounds like a bunch of sour grapes to me. So what if Tyra was late, what else does Paulina have going on? Plus, conversation works both ways, she obviously didn’t make any effort to speak to Tyra either. They should just bring back previous winners as guest judges, have someone up there the girls can relate with.

  49. ...

    Its no surprise, its the same thing Janice said. Tyra is always late and she never shows respect for the crew…

  50. She's Not Lying Tyra Banks Only Talks To You In Front Of The Camera

    She’s telling the truth I was on the show Tyra was my friend when the camera was rolling but afterwards she acted like she didn’t know me or anyone.

    She rude to her staff and she works them to death she’s a fake B*tch I know from first hand….. also Tyra is not as light as she appear on tv the stage is very lighted and the audience that makes her look very light but she’s darker than me. But she is a very pretty and tall woman but she’s fake.

  51. black lady

    man she aint lien as a black woman i would back up black women to the end. but yall trust me tyra banks is a fake ***** i meet my self on the show. she not even that light skin as she is on the tv ether she darker. tyra banks only does talks when the cam is roller for her talk show and when its over she leaves she dont talk to *****ody she is really a fake ho i heard that top model was fake as well that she dont even talk to them models only when the cam is rolling. so that white woman is not lien about tyra banks she a fake ***** i hope her wigs on the show but then again they wont show it they lie so much on them shows i want her to exposed!

  52. She's Not Lying Tyra Banks Only Talks To You In Front Of The Camera

    Re:Black Lady

    So that happen to you also see folks we not lying she’s fake….

  53. black lady

    top model try outs was so half done they i heard they dont pick people from try outs its so fake. but that talk show i know for a fake is a lie. they get people to lie on that stage and she makes black women look bad on the stage most that ***** they saying is acting. her show is not real its fake.

  54. hollywood

    Tyra has the black woman syndrome too many of us have: We GOTS to do it ALL: She gotta do the catwalk, try to sing, to photos like Nigel, have a talk show AND a network reality show. Jack of all Trades, master of none as they say. Of course she is gonna be 6 hours late. No focus.

  55. black lady

    i dont even wanna know tyra banks as a friend she will screw you over man. shes a fake black ***** she dont like *****ody but her self thats why talks about her self 24 7 to make her self feel good about her bolded headed weavey *****. its really about tyra banks from what i seen on that show that day i thought i would of meet a nice person like i see on tv. im not takeing anyt hing away from her about what all she done in her life thats good and she is pretty but shes *****ed up in the head. she needs to be exposed its just time.

  56. She's Not Lying Tyra Banks Only Talks To You In Front Of The Camera

    Yes your right she is a busy person I’ve seen her working like crazy she always working. But that doesn’t give her the right to treat like Sh*t. The only reason more people don’t expose her is because she makes them sign an agreement.

  57. WhoeverYouWantMe2B

    I heard at some big functions, Tyra won’t talk to people she don’t know directly and will have “her entourage” listen and talk for her. I love her but she is such a *****!

  58. black lady

    some of the workers at the talk show dont even talk to tyra ether i heard while i was there. she has her make up room on another floor. away from them. and when tyra mess up she look a the steff all mean and stand there with a diva look and fake smile to every body when cams come back on. whoa thats a fake *****.

  59. black lady

    she dont talk to *****ody on that show. when its done and over she walks off and shes gone. its like why work for tyra banks? she wont even talk to you. what kinda boss is that.

  60. black lady

    this is why her top model eva got away from tyra banks. eva takes controll of her on modeliing career cause tyra banks controled to much of it. i dont think tyra ever helped ya ya every thing u see yaya gets she got on her own. tyra banks is fake as *****. smh she is really pretty lol but she needs to learn how not to be fake. she earned that award for that talk show cuase most of them shows be lies! every body can see it who watchs it. people are not that damn dumb in real life. i guess im saying to much cause i know the deal about tyra banks i know that ***** is fake yeah i been on there. is all imma say lol

  61. black lady

    it do look like im takieing up for the white ***** but im not. i seen it for my self that she is fake. i mean damn smh tyra banks on top model cant never keep a woman juge on show so you see something going down. she never gets a black woman cause she jealous of black women you can tell she aready dont want them on the show to hair real long hair. she want to be the never one black sista seen on that top model and talk show. she is selfish

  62. black lady

    i mean she wants to be the number one black woman on every thing! she dont really want to help black women out. only reason why this black girl made this time is cause m obama lets get real. t yra be picking white hos more then black girls on that top model show. she do black girls dirty she allways trying say what they do wrong. she be picking on black girls on top model show. she have some low self esteem about her weave i think. cuase its not her face. she hates thats she have to wear a weave look at the talk show how she tells every black woman look at our weave girl her back naps! she is crazy i heard she cant date a man long cause she dont want him to see her with out her weave. well ***** if you grow your hair long and thick weaves wont mean ***** to you. i think god i dont wear weaves that ***** takes over your damn life. its not that deep

  63. cough up a lung where im from marcy son,been to many places,but inBKLYNZ OWN

    WHO CARES…….JUST WANTED TO SEE HOW MY NEW S/N LOOKS

  64. Sha

    Some things I wanna address that was said in this post:

    1. Paulina sounds very salty. Some of what she’s sayin’ sounds like exaggeration and a bit of truth. However she’s comin’ off bitter. Do the cl*****y thing my dear and shut up.

    2. I love Tyra personally so if she is a *****…*shrug* whatever that’s gonna crush my world. I don’t know the woman personally. We’re human she’s probably a ***** at times or to certain people…Paulina in this case. I can’t speak on it either way cause I don’t know how she is when the cameras are off.

    3. ANTM is an extremely popular show. Just because its ran its course for you, doesn’t mean its ran its course for the millions of ANTM stans that watch. Go to the CWTV website and see the crazy fans on there, makin’ post after post about the finale the other night.

    4. Goodbye Paulina and good luck. The rest of you, you don’t like Tyra you came in this post to hate. Not cute. You don’t see me in Chris Brown posts talkin’ *****. Good day to you.

  65. Sha

    Oh yea…not everything is about RACE. Paulina was on that show callin’ some of the black contestants beautiful and what not. Do not go off into a race debate like some of you *****ers like to do!

  66. nunya bizness

    The judges are probably quitting because they knew the show is RIGGED. Come’on terrible commerical, bad runway walk, and hair comes off and you win?!!

    Aminat was robbed!!!!!!!!!!!!

  67. I don't think so

    For the record:

    Tyra Banks did not come up with the idea for ANTM. The idea for the show originally came from a model booker – not Tyra (I knew the model booker, but do not have permission from her to divulge her name so I will not). Tyra then became involved with the show as “the host”, helped to sell it to the network, and also came up with ideas for the show.

    Tyra now claims total credit for coming up with the idea for the show – and she did NOT come up with the original idea.

    This was also aired on E! True Hollywood Story of ANTM years ago when the show was in the third or fourth cycle.

  68. ***** medicore talent

    Paula you need to just shut your white ***** up! You are just mad cause a black woman was your boss and left you broke and jobless on your birthday!! Awwwe what’s wrong??? Aint use to a black in power? WELL GET USE TO IT *****!

  69. chrisB SUCKS

    Tyra is repulsive and so blatantly phony.

  70. Yank and ***** they rhyme for a reason

    Why do you American pathetic with a chip on your shoulder *****holes ALWAYS have to make this in to a race issue? You are SO TRAGICALLY TOTALLY UNEVOLVED in many many respects.

  71. LEESA

    WTF?

  72. *QUIN*QUIN*

    Really

  73. Doc

    she should bring Naomi Campbell as a judge.

  74. GIVEDADDYSOMESUGAR

    Doc – you are so wrong. You know Tyra is still scared of Naomi.


  75. [...] Tyra is America’s Next Top Beyotch says, Paulina – bossip Possibly related posts: (automatically generated)LOVE ME SOME BOSSIP IN HOLLYWOOD!THE HORIWOOD TOP [...]

  76. ?

    Whatever to Paulina; she is just a hater cuz Tyra has two shows to host and she was just a guest host. Maybe she sucked at her job; her feedback killed me, she just wanted that bird looking blond chick to win and they didn’t pick who she chose.

  77. I am who I am

    Paulina only liked the girls who looked like her on the show. Won’t miss her. They should bring back Janice. She was real & on-point.


  78. @Dc Kitten) Janice *****erson wasn’t firer. Janice wanted more money. They said no and she walk away and didn’t come back. Tyra have a good, pure heart. You can’t be like the boss. The boss pay you. Tyra could be late everyday if she wanted to. Be happy you had a job dumb *****. I take your job ho. Times are hard out here. Ungrateful *****.

  79. princess07

    If Heidi Klum had fired her *****, she probably wouldn’t have been talking sh*t. But it’s Tyra..a sista. Paulina is probably just mad because she now has to sit and wait for Tyra whereas she USED to be someone worth waiting for.

    That’s how I feel about the situation as well. I never did like Paulina as a judge because she didn’t know how to give constructive critism to the models. She always had some stupid smart ***** comment.


  80. Paulina you are typical white person. Always wanting to run something. Complain when you ideas aren’t met. Tyra is a big business mogul, she don’t have time to talk to your washed up old *****.
