Tyra appeared on Nightline and found it difficult to answer a certain question. Flip the hood to find out what the question was.

The pure comedy of the moment was when Tyra’s publicist came in like super save-a-ho and got shutdown by the reporter.  We live for moments like that.

    Lawd, somebody file a missing person’s report. I can’t believe Hannibal’s not first.

    LMAO@ the reporter saying “No, I am gonna go there.” Tyra shoulda just said no comment instead of trying to turn it around and interview the reporter.

  • Miss Kesha (twitter .com/miss_kesha)

    And LMAO@ people thinking they’re first.

  • tyrahater

    tyra is a lame…. 1st.??

  • Goddess☀iLy

    when is e Tyra show coming back on :(

  • Janae

    Yeah, that smile was forced.

  • Big Daddy

    If you live your life in front of the cameras, don’t be surprised when people ask you about your private life.
    Her life now is an open book, and she chose that path.

    lol…her wig is laid tho…she definitely didnt want to let it seem like her publicist was coming to save her.

  • nooo

    OK I LOVE TYRA BUT SHE WAS ASKING JANET JACKSON AN EVERY1 ELSE BOUT THEYR RELATIONSHIP BUT NOW SHE DONT WANNA ANSWWER??? FAIL

  • if i don’t come, you must leave…

    good point nooo
    if tyra wants her privacy as far as relationships respected, you’d think she would extend that courtesy to her guests. when she had beyonce on she kept trying to ask about jay-z. hell even when solange was on she was asking about her brother in law…
    lmao…that reporter was gangsta.

  • wrightgirl

    I think the caption is wrong… tyra was not speechless and and she clearly expressed her unwillingness to answer certain questions just becuase C Mcfadden asked. Tyra shut cynthia down!!! When Tyra REFUSED to answer ( there is a difference) Cynthia was the one tomove on… and then she also tried to put words in Tyra’s mouth (jealous!! of course they were , but tyra didn’t say it?) and Tyra politely and directly corrected her… It was Cynthia who got shut down and had to move on!!

    And the lace front is looking fabulous!! Loves her!!

  • mya

    @if i don’t come, you must leave…
    i love tyra and her big forhead…
    lol yeah that reporter was gangta!! lol
    I would have walked out..lol

  • http://bossip.com candice

    i think da interviewer didnt like tyra datz y she kept askin her dem questions tryin 2 get her caught up about da ANTM questions, if tyra waz da way janis & dat other chick said… den y iz miss j & nigel still dare???

  • Bianca

    Tyra is so uppity and snooty towards her guest. She annoys the hell out of me. She always finds a way to make a subject about her. She always puts her guests down and feels she needs to belittle them. I was happy that the interviewer got gangsta on her becuz she does the same thing to her guests.

  • White Devil

    She says she wants to be taken seriously and she is supposedly in charge of her shows and is a confident manager. In that case she should be able to answer a question without her publicist stepping in. There are numerous ways she could answer a question like that without actually saying much. Maybe she is not smart enought to do it. For example “I had some creative differences with the other judges that you mentioned. Sometimes people take these differences personally. I have the utmost respect for their opinions and careers, but I just felt that the show needed to go in a different direction. I am sorry that Paulina and Janice took it personally and had to resort to personal attacks.”

  • hellifiknow

    OMG @ White Devil:
    I totally cosign. You should be her publicist instead of that idiot she has. That was the exact way to do it…you must work in the business :-)

  • MsUnique216

    I think that she probably should have answered the question in a better way, without just looking at the lady like she was stupid for asking it….and just because you have a talk show doesn’t qualify you as a journalist or proper interviewer…all she does is run her mouth about sub par topics and converts every answer to include herself

  • lazy town

    aghhh i heart tyra so driven and unmaterialistic making her own money Bless her STOP THE HATERATION

  • Jay the Real One

    Why go on a serious (sic non-Oprah/Larry King) interview and not answer questions?

  • Glok9…All we do iz Spark Mad Izm!!

  • Yep

    Yep you go Tyra…That Wheffa tried to play you, but you stood your ground…Way to go…

  • deafjam04

    This interview just changed my whole perception of Tyra…in a good way!

  • Virtual~Reality

    LOVE her hair. LOVE it.

  • http://BOSSIP NIKOL

    cw(show)

  • http://yahoo.com me247

    I think she did the right thing. Why does the media also try to turn something pos into something neg? Tyra it the SHIT!!

  • Roaze

    LOL J DOC ur a dumbass. What kind of idiot conclusion is that? It doesn’t make even 1% sense. You couldn’t possibly have a high school diploma, you couldn’t make a D in english with a head like yours. And “oprah has long hair” your right, Tyra is dissalusioned if she thinks having a talk show gives her a doctorate in Journalism LAWL. She was caught in a situation she wanted to get out of so she was saying (and doing) dumb shit…

  • ugh

    First: THIS is old
    Second: didn’t 5-head say she was gonna stop wearing FAKE HAIR?

  • nene

    This interviewer is very racist and she is jealous of Tyra, you can tell

  • Nik

    God has truly blessed Tyra, so why are people hating on her? She has accomplished a lot in her life.

  • celia

    respect tyra for her success but real talk she is as fake as her hair. NEXT!!!!

  • Hannibal

    first…

  • mcleod10

    WOW! HER FOREHEAD IS HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • really tho?

    I respect Tyra’s hustle but the interview sounded a little like two kindergarteners at one point: You said it……..No you said it………..No you did, not me…I mean come on! At the end of the day Tyra is still Bankable baby! No matter what Paulina or Skeletor oops I meant Janice have to say!

  • Samantha

    For the broke azz haters on this site. When your dumb azzes get two nickels to rub together then you can hate on Tyra. As the people with a brain stated Tyra was asked a question and she told the reporter than she did not want to comment and the reporter kept going on and on until he publicist said something. Just because two white woman are mad they don’t have a show we should care what the freak they think? Ask Janis what happened to her failed modeling show and company? Ask Paulina why she don’t have one.
    As far as the dead brained MF who write on this site your just straight up stupid.

  • Sticky-n-Sweet

    LMAO I remember when Supahead shut Tyra up too! Girlfriend shook the industry up for a second, until she started thinking she was a celeb herself…that interview was bogus on both sides.

  • http://twitter.com/swaggereffect Samone Cherie

    Leave tyra alone!

  • prettywhitegirl

    @cali…get back to compton and go shoot some stolen guns with your homies…

  • white male

    I can’t call someone with plastic parts the hottest chick but I always liked tyra

  • Barry

    Lol @ Tyra speaking in her best “white valley girl” voice. R u kiddin me?

    She does have a big forehead but to me she looks better without the weave.. Good luck Tyra with all your endeavors.

  • Ummm…NO!

    Yall hatin on Tyra need to get a life. I will never understand how people can have so much hatred toward a person they’ve never even met. You can always find fault with people in the public eye because EVERYTHING they do is put on display. Yall are probably doing all kinds of f**ked up things in your life, we just don’t know about it. So stop throwing stones.

  • http://Bossip ruben

    @Prettywhitegirl you are a prime example of once you go black you never go back. Somebody than gave you some blac dic and you can’t get enough of blac people I know; mabey you should warn your friends what it do!

  • AaliyahFanForever

    You Tyra. She told that lady how it is.! Haters need to back off of Tyra REAL TALK.!!

  • LeyLey

    Now THAT was funny. Tyra “I interview people all the time..” But here’s the difference..Cynthia McFadden is a critically acclaimed journalist. You’re just a talk show host.

  • Hannibals Dad

    R U A TRU GHETTO OPRAH

  • darealwifey

    Tyra is one, smart cookie. Mainstream journalists have degenerated to nothing more than tabloid fodder. America has OFFICIALLY been dumbed down if we think TYRA is the dummy for not engaging in gossip about drama on her show and her love life.

  • http://www.facebook.com $$ talks

    I like Tyra, but the journalist was just doing her job. Journalists are supposed to ask questions. Just because the journalist asked Tyra a “difficult” question doesn’t make her a racist.

  • I am who I am

    She was right to say nothing. If she did, it would’ve turned into a whole different story.

  • jinny

    tyra is a beyyyyyyyyyyyyyyACH it’s all about WENDY WILLIAMS

    she is always asking to touch another female’s breast and butt. WTH

    I agree and could not have said it better myself. But otherwise Tyra did a good job.

    _______________________________________________

    @really tho?

    LMAO!!! Yeah she did…

    And Tyra looked really STUPID because:

    (1) she couldn’t answer the question and showed her true colors with the childlike response instead of giving the usual celebrity response = “I don’t talk about my private life, blah, blah, blah”…

    (2) Tyra is ALWAYS asking other people about THEIR private life and asks more than once too and be bugging them just the same… SMH

    Wow, Cynthia McFadden WENT IN, I have newfound respect for her – I didn’t know she got down like that…

  • KELSS

    EXCELLENT! I love the way Tyra dealt with Cynthia. Cynthia was VERY rude. Tyra was doing HER and NIGHTLINE a favor. Cynthia pushed and pushed. But Tyra handled Cynthia and this ignorant situation very very well.

    Kudos to Tyra Banks.

  • KELSS

    EXCELLENT!

    I love the way Tyra dealt with Cynthia.

    Cynthia was VERY rude. Tyra was doing HER and NIGHTLINE a favor. And the publicist TOLD her she didn’t want to answer.

    Cynthia pushed and pushed. But Tyra handled Cynthia and this ignorant situation very very well.

    Kudos to Tyra Banks.

    why couldn’t she just say she didn’t want to discuss it???
    _____________________________________________

    @mimi321

    It’s as SIMPLE as that ain’t it???

    That’s why I said she was showing her “true colors” = immaturity, because that’s what we ALL do when we get put in a stressful situation and we blank out & forget to act as “trained”… SMH

  • KELSS

    WHY IS IT THAT ” GHETTO ” PEOPLE CONFUSES THE WORDS…

    FAKE

    and

    BEING PROFESSIONAL?

    But then ghetto people wouldn’t know any better.

  • http://Bossip Miss 21

    I love her..she’s right..her personal life shouldnt be shared with the world

  • really…..

    WHAT THE HELL IS THE PROB?!?!?
    Cynthia shoulda asked and kept on asking just like she did, u got ppl making accusations against u, u should at least want to defend urself if these things they say are FALSE…if they’re not i’d wanna not answer too.

  • Can

    I love Tyra, that’s that.

    Can’t keep a good black woman down.

  • WordtotheWise

    Tyra handled that just perfectly. She wasn’t indignant or angry, just to the point. As far as her personal life, she is not obligated by anyone to devulge information she does not want anyone to know. That’s her life. Yes, she’s a celebrity, but she owes no one a thing.

    Go Tyra. I love you, girl!

  • JUDY

    I think Tyra handled herself fairly well. I dont see the problem.

  • LaRoni

    i think tyra is righteous…..she does ask everyone about their men…..celebrities—-but she feels above all that.

    tyra is alright but she seems to white washed to me.

  • Auntie Noxy

    Ok little Oprah just gets on my last nerve. Everything is a dramatic event with her. She is so random, all she had to say was that she didn’t want to discuss that subject and move on.

  • DC

    Its funny how Tyra can ask everyone else questions about their relationship but she doesn’t want to answer questions. What a hypocrite.

  • Comon Sense

    Tyra is SO FAKE. I can see right through her

  • Black Barbie

    After all these years of interviewing people, Tyra should have been able to give Cynthia a “canned” non-answer answer and moved the interview along.

    Although she didn’t say anything wrong in my opinion, she was not very skillful in handling a simple question. Tyra’s the boss of ANTM and her version of the story becomes the official version: everyone else is a disgruntled former employee. IMO, She missed an easy one.

  • I’m Just Me: Re: CRACKING ME UP SINCE 2008!!!

    W/e it was what it was.

  • IknowwhereIcomefrom

    Its interesting to know Tyra’s personal perspective on the past former female co-hosts…but if she wants to stay professional she cant tell everyone her opinion..nor can the other judges.

    I love her hair in this clip…. looks soo natural for a weave… love tyra!!!

  • ThaOne

    Stop hating on TRYA she is the shit… Started off as a model and now owns a production company… Kick rocks haters!

  • Ms.Carter

    Tyra handled that question very well, and she looked beautiful doing it!!!

  • Smize Queen

    LMAO @ “WHEFFA”<—- HILARIOUS

  • C Allen

    Wonder how Tyra will take it if a guest on her show answered that question the same way she answered it on Nightline?…..she would probably pull her wig off and storm offstage.

  • http://freaksonmyspace.com Freaks On Myspace

    egh, they all get caught slipping sometimes.

  • DayShifter

    Holy crap that was a horrible interview. Her attitude was totally misplaced…

  • nita

    @White Devil

    you said it all! the perfect response…
    i agree 100%

  • Macy

    Its amazing how TYRA tries to forces questions on ppl. And gets lazy tongue when asked a question, she def. looks like she wanted to cry. I hope this teach her a lesson to be more empathetic when interviewing others and try not to be so IN CONTROL of how other ppl think.

  • Sloppy Seconds are for Losers

    Tyra should have said:
    “If you want to know why they made those comments, then you will have to ask them.”

  • Angel

    Tyra mail? Throw it in the trash… It’s useless.

  • Jazmine

    Tyra kills me! What was so da** hard about answering that?!?!?!?

    Classy. Good for Tyra.

  • barb

    WTF WAS THAT ABOUT??!!!!!!!

    I love tyra’s candor and openness and frankness.
    Its not like her AT ALL to be cagey and evasive.
    I think that just pissed me off!!!!

    MISS TYRA, WHAT THE FEEZY???!!!!!

  • cocoloccs

    wow, i was really embarrassed for tyra not because of the question, but because of that horrible fake smile. that was a crack-is-wack moment if i ever saw one.

  • http://bossp.com DC

    Did anyone notice the “reporter” mispronounced “Paulina Porizkova’s (1st Czech Supermodel) name wrong BOTH times? hows’s that for “professionalism?

  • http://bossip wendy

    I don’t like Tyra, she fake and I think she should have answered the question and as far as she getting married, if no one wants to marry you, then there has to be something wrong with her. I think she is a ding bat. She is always acting like she was the first one that invented something. When she gives at advice it is never anything new or anything that anyone doesn’t already know. So that means she is either a biter or she is an idiot. America’s next top model is not even original she was just the first one to get it on televison.
