• 3:12
  Speaker 2: So rain drops obviously listened.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: There's a lot going on in the world right now,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: but the America's Next Top Model documentary has completely broken
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: the internet. You are one of the few who have
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: transcended from that franchise into creating your own brand and
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: your own celebrity.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I would I would.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Say you Eva, Yaga, Da Costa, Winnie Harlow, you know.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Girls, you know the girl you know, I feel like you.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I feel like you four especially have definitely taken that
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: momentum and rent with them. But what is so fascinating
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: is with you. You didn't even win.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: No, I didn't even win.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Were you even Top five?
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: No?
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: You were I was seven? Yeah, I was seven. I
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: made it halfway through. I made it halfway through. And
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: also I didn't even get selected. What do you mean, Oh,
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: I think we talked about it before, Like they didn't
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: even pick me to be on the show in the beginning. Right,
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: had to go and reaudition because when I auditioned the
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: first time I didn't get selected, and I was like, oh,
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: somebody made a mistake.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: What's going on here? Like I need to see who's
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: in charge, right, So.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: I think that is the unique thing about me that
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: they didn't pick me originally.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: So I kind of bummed guard my way up on
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: in there.
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: And then I didn't win the show. I only made
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: it halfway through. But I was the fan favor because
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: back then this is when you called in, everybody was
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: calling us. I was fan favored. And even though I'm
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: not the winner, I'm a winner.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, you are.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: You are.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Listen, everybody loves the Kara you go by one name.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: You're the only to car that we know. But what
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I want to talk to you about, and we'll get
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: to the particulars of the documentary. One of the biggest
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: things that came out of it was each woman that
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: they featured talked about their experience. So before I get
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: into the details and get your thoughts on it, I
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: do want to just ask you, like, what was your
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: experience being on Top Model?
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: My experience being on the Top Model.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: Ooh, I was twenty nineteen, twenty years old.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: I loved Tyra.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: I had always wanted to be a model. I had
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: started modeling when I was fourteen years old. I was
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: going to the agencies fifteen, sixteen, seventeen eighteen, so I
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: was already in that world. And then the only black
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: models that we knew were Tira, Naomi Aman, Beverly, you know,
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: And it was very hard. I didn't even know that
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: plus size even existed, right there was.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: I couldn't.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: I couldn't name you a plus size model. I couldn't
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: even I didn't even know the term. I don't even
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: even know who used the term. So seeing Tire or
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: seeing she's doing the reality show, knowing me I've already
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: been modeled, I'm like, this is what I need. And
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: I was already going to New York. I was like,
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: oh yeah, and I want to be on TV. I
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: got a great personality, bring it on. That's why I
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: came in.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: I was like, I'm here. I'm here. I'm big, black,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: beautiful and loving it right hundred in a buck? What right? So?
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: I mean for me and I come from Dayton, Ohio, Right,
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: I come from the projects, I come from the hood.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: I come from poverty. Right, So.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: I've already experienced a lot. I've already seen a lot.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: I've already dealt with a lot. I was e mascipated
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: when I was sixteen fifteen, So for me, it was
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: like I wanted to do what we gotta do? You
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: want me to cut my hair? You want me to
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: what do you want me to do? You wanna shave
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: my head ball? I tell him, like you shave my
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: head ball. I'm still gonna walk around here like what
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: you want me to do? Because I'm trying to make
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: it out. I'm you know, I'm confident, but I will
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: say that it was a controlled environment, right, So we
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: were in a controlled environment. We were micd up all
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: the time, and and looking back as a mature, grown woman,
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: basically where we were like rats in the mice trap,
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, Like we were controlled on
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: which way we could go or not go, Like, yeah,
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: we had a decision to go right and left, but
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: if you in a certain way, there might be a roadblock.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: You might have to turn around and go back the
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: other way.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: You know what do you mean by that in terms
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: of like if you were you controlled and felt like
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: you were a mouse and a lab experiment is because
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: you obviously, well one.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: Insight one from like remembering an experience when I was
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: doing it during that time. It's like in the beginning
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: of Top Model, the like like the first or Steven episode,
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: I think you see where they was like, well Eva
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: and everyone has said something about Eva, and they did
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: a clip and you see all these girls go say
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: her name, Poper name out there. You didn't see me
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: say that, but the producers backstage, they were trying to
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: get you to say, like, well, what.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Do you think about Eva? What about Eva?
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Like you know, they would, you know, get you, you know,
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: get you to say things, but it was up to
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: you to say it right.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: You still had to say it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: But they were very that was their job too, as
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: we know now, so right, so being in that experience
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: back then we didn't know, but that was one of
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: the experiences where but looking back at it as a
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: grown woman like, oh yeah, that was a definitely control environment.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: Like when they were not having clothes in my size,
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: they could definitely get closed in my size.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: I get dressed every day.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: I said it on the show, like I wanted to
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: first the ball slap that bitch who pinched me, and
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: I wanted to.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: I wanted to, you know, but it's like, oh on
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: TV and.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Our fairness, you did you did not want to lose
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: the competition competition? Yeah, and and defend yourself the same
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: way that Kenya was being.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: And moaned on and all those things. Yeah, correct, yeah.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, could you didn't feel comfortable speaking out.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Well, no, because you want to win and you're right,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: did it? You're in a competition and it and like
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: I said, it's control environment and looking back on it, right,
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: like they I got eliminated because they said I didn't
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: have any personality and.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: What what's so interesting about the day you got for
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: real exhibit as real?
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: No? Yeah, and I remember the pickure they chose of
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: you with your with the hat on and stuff, the
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: back list photo and you're looking like this.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: But well that's another thing too. I always felt that.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: That they don't think they always chose the best photos,
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: Like I watched the DIG documentary and everything, but still
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: I'm like, I know those couldn't have been the best photos,
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: but it was admitted in the documentary like later on,
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: but I'm in the beginning of I'm season cycle three.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I want to go back to the EVA
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: thing because I remember watching the EVA season and Tyra
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: and the panel did say we're hearing pretty much you're.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Bitch, and like you said, they flashed back to that.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: In hindsight, do you think that the producers were setting
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: even Eva up to be the villain of that season
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: since they didn't ask you guys talk to us about
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Eva talks to us by Eva was even really being
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: a bitch behind the scenes or was it or exaggerated?
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: Hmm, I'm gonna say it was fifty to fifty because
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: Eva does. She's a scorpio, she's feisty, she got her personality,
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: she's confident. You see how she walked up in that
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: room like she was given very much. Eva the diva,
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: but even it was a sweetheart to me. Eva was
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: a sweetheart to me. Eva said, my bed with me,
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: helped me stitch up my dress. Eva shared with me,
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: talk to me about her best friend and her mother
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: like me. And Eva was very personable from the very beginning,
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying. So they couldn't get me to
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: say anything, but I couldn't, but I was. I did
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: witness them trying to, you know, make conversations, but us like,
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: that's that's not my story, right, And we heard the
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: remarks even said about the girl who had to eat
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: in disorder and things like that.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: So I'm gonna to say.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: It was fifty to fifty when you when you look
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: at your experience during cycle three, were you ever put
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: in a situation that made you feel uncomfortable?
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: I don't even know if I had set boundaries for that,
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: So my answer is no. But I think that's as
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: a young girl just once again willing to be and
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: do what it is I think it takes to be
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: on top. Nah nah nah nah nah.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: Now let me so much. You're so serious.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: Okay, go ahead, mister journalist, ahead, let me, but I'm serious. Yeah,
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: but no, I don't think that I did like set
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: those type the boundaries like and I mean and of
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: course like we're grown now, so I've been behind the scenes,
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: worked with production. I know how production works now, right,
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: So that wasn't a thing for me. So looking at
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: it from that lens, and it's hard for me not
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: to have that LANs because you can't you only know
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: what you know, right, I can't take away the experiences
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: that I've gained, right, So I didn't know that then,
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: but the things that I know now, I can see
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: how the game was being played.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Right, Hence, obviously, when they couldn't find clothes in your side,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: did you I want to go back to that moment
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: because you were the first plus size contestant on Top Model,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: So did you feel that in that moment, like, obviously,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: I'm confident, I'm Takara, and these other girls obviously look.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Different than me, but I don't care. I'm me. I'm confident.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Did you feel like when that woman poked you, in
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: addition to them not finding clothes, they had to get
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: a reaction out of you because you weren't giving them
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: anything because you're not jealous of anybody, you don't care about.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: You don't want to be skinny. So in hindsight, did
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: you feel like y'all really pushed me to the limits
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: because y'all needed to get a reaction out of me?
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: You know, I never thought about it like that, but
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: obviously yes, because every set that we went on, every
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: time we did a photo shoot, it was like I
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: was anticipating to see what they were going to pull
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: out for me, And this seemed like I was always
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: the last person that they were going to bring out
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: wardrobe for, so everyone's clothes were already up and on
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: the rag and it's like, are you going to even
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: bring my clothes out?
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: And then everyone had options and this was basically like
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: you're wearing this, like when we did the challenge at Lapearola.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: I'm so glad my.
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: Memory is working for me. Thank your memory, because i'd
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: be forgetting everything.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I remember with that Laparola and like, I can't
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: fit Lapearola right, and my breasts you see these titties, right,
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: it's a big, beautiful bress that.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: I make bras for myself now.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: But we did Lapearola, right, I can't fit their their undergarments,
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: so I had to wear a robe. And I'm like, well,
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: I mean the challenge was dumbe because we had to
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: like be like manne cains. I didn't really understand what
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: was going on, but to the point of that.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: I didn't have options.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: You gonna wear this robe, and if it's a medium
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: or smaller wetherside, you're gonna we won't even have your
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: right size rope. This is what you're gonna wear and
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: take these thongs or pennies or whatever. Like there was
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: no fault, there was, you know, but I didn't see it.
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: I mean, I've seen it, but it I was still
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: happy to be there, and I did have the confidence
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: that I'm the big girl in the room. Y'all about
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: to get rid of me no time soon. I know,
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: I got least happy y'll beat you know what I mean,
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: Like I always knew that, Like I at least.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: Got most of y'all. Bet y'all, y'all. It's not even
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: a competition.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Yet, period, Right, I'm not going anywhere, yeah, yeah, no.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: But the thing about as I was watching the documentary,
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: obviously Tara created the show.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: She owns twenty five percent of it.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: So I as a journalist, hey, Portia, I did my research.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Tara admitted to Howard.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Stern Howard Stern that she well, he right, he brought
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: it up.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: He brought it up. He said, how much did you own?
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: She won't saying, and he said, you owned about twenty
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: five percent, and.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: She said, you know, you know, I'm not confirming it, though.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: So what what was your experience like with Tara Banks
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: during cycle three?
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: My experience, I mean, even to this day, I still
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: remember the first time that I've seen her when she
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: came out, like I was so enthralled, like oh wow,
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: like she did not look real. You know, I've bangrowed out.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: I was excited and during the show. I've always held
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: her in that regard and she always took up for me.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: Remember when Janni's was like, well then she needs to
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: lose one hundred pounds, She's like, she'll be thirty pounds.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: She's like, you know, So it's like Tyra stood up
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: for me.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: And but she always was the judge, so it wasn't
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: never well she did she said, she came into the
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: room and she listened to our stories.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: You know. It is the episode where I cried and
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: I'm crying on her lap.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: I mean, my experience with Tyra was was totally different
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: because I feel in those moments she was being personable
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: and that she did care. And a lot of a
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: lot of my story wasn't revealed far as like what
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: my parents and stuff was going through, you know, so
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: like I don't know if it just wasn't a big
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: enough story, but like a lot of my personal things weren't.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: Weren't you in a bad way towards me? You know?
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: But on the show, on season three, Tyre was the judge.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: She was the main girl, and I've all you know,
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: I always just was fangirl and I never really looked
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: at her in a bad light during the season, or never.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: Until this documentary. But I don't even mean it like that.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Like yeah no, But the thing is this when you.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: One thing I know about you and and and I
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: said this for my Monday night live show. One thing
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: that I can see as a producer too, is I
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: thought it was on purpose that the directors did not
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: contact you.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Eva.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: When I first seen I said they did a documentary, I.
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: Said, oh, okay, I just knew even it was gonna be
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: on it because I knew. I wasn't knowing as I'm like, okay,
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: let me see. And then I've seen the trailer and
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: I didn't see Eva.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Then I didn't see ya Yah. I'm like, okay, Yah,
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: y'all is going to be on.
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: It, right, So no, I'm not on it me even
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: in Yah Yeah, I said, oh okay, well I'm in
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: good company.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Why do you think they on perfect because that's a choice.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Oh no, it's definitely a choice.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Do you think the reason why the directors then I
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: contact Eva Tokara, Yah y'all Nacosta three successful black women
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: whose career ballooned because of the show, and from my knowledge,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: never publicly disparaged Tyra. Do you think the reason they
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: didn't contact you is because I feel like.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: They didn't contact me because I didn't have a negative
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: thing to say so because when I watched the documentary,
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: it's like, oh, or when I seen the clips or
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: the trailers and stuff, it was just like, Oh, that's
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: not my story because they can't get that out of me.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: Once again, the producers they not going to be able
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: to get that out of me. I can't give you.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: I only can give you the truth. I can only
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: give you the truth.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: This is reality with the King, and I'm Carlos King.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Let's get back into the show. And that's what I
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: want our conversation to be. Because the thing is this.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I looked at the documentary. I am the biggest fan
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: of Top Model. I watch all the cycles, and who
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: I saw Tabary Banks be on that show was not
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: what she was being talked about on the documentary, and
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: it was.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Hard for even me to watch.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: But what I will say, and we'll get to the
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: rest later, but what I wanted to say when it
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: comes to you girls, you even ya ya not being contacted.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: It felt like they definitely wanted this to be nothing
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: but negative. And because I am a journalist, one thing
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: I know is you got to get both sides.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: It has to be a balanced story.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Now, look, Tyra definitely didn't help herself out with the
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: trench coat. Hey, you give a little bit of trick.
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: You're not the mother.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: So we definitely didn't see that.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: But what I will say is it was a choice
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: that they didn't contact people who had a pleasant experience.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: But when you watched a documentary, was it hard for
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: you to see that Tyra because is that the Tyra
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: that you know?
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: That was a good question. I was heartbroken. I was heartbroken.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: Let me ask you a question. Was that the Tyra?
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: What was your question? Is that the tire I know?
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: Or was that this? Wait? Was your question?
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: Was it hard for you to watch that Tyra during
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: the documentary because that's not the Tyra that you know?
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought when I watched the documentary and I've
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: seen how Tira was an interview, how she connected herself
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: in the interview, I do feel that it was very
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: much performative, right, And I do feel like I don't
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: think it was very genuine. I don't think that it
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: was very very genuine. And I think I think I
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: think she didn't show vulnerability, and I didn't think and
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: I didn't think she showed empathy. And I think if
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: she would have did that, then we would have forgiven her,
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: you know, because we all understand the climate back then.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: We all under stand the business now, right, so we
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: all understood what the culture was.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: We get that.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: And if she would have just said that, you know,
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: or just admitted with honesty was just vulnerability, we would
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: have been like, oh girl, we get it, we understand right,
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: you know, Like I don't think they would have been
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: nailing her to the stake like they are. But then
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: I think it's hard too because I think now like
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: I'm one of the old people, because it's like when
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: I talk about the show, it's like back in my day, right,
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: I'm forty four, I'd be forty four, I'm forty three.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: I'd be forty four in March.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: At thirteenth, nineteen eighty two because wikipedm messed up my stuff.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: So let's just get that, right, Let's get the real
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: age on the out there right March the thirteenth.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: But I think the documentary did a good job. Like
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: when I watched it from the beginning, it was like,
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: this is what happens, right when you go out to
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: a competition. This is and this is interesting to see
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: what happens to all the hundreds of thousand girls who
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: came out to audition for a show that there was
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: only going to be one winner, Like.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: We all have to take in that factor, you know.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: Some girls dropped out of school, some girls left their jobs,
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: Like these are life changing choices that you have to
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: that you were conscious of, and you know there's only
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: one spot, you know. So it brought to light right
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: unveiled what really happens in the real world. There are
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: plenty of girls who then came out and tried to
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: make it in this modeling world. And the mardeling world
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: is very tough and it's very limited, it's very short lived,
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: you know. So watching it, I was like wow, because
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: these are the stories that I want to see of,
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: like what happens when you do go back home and
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: you don't have you know, what you thought you were
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: going to get and it you know, the letdown, And
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: the thing is it happened to me too, right when
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: I got eliminated. People from Top Model didn't reach out
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: to me.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: They didn't.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: Follow up with me. Tyra did give me her number.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: She did ever ever had any questions and stuff, I
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: can call. But it wasn't like I got off the
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: show and they Top Model created opportunities where oh, you
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: can go to this agency or you know, gathered us
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: and made us like a America's Next Top Model sorority
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: or association a handbook. Right like we all were let go.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: We got eliminated, and we all were let go. That's
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: my story too. But my goal was when I was
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: on the show, my goal was, Oh, just get me
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: on TV.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: Somebody just need to see me. I just need to
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: get me.
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: Here first, my dad was My first goal was let
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: me get on TV. Like I said earlier, Oh I audition,
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: they didn't pick me. Oh I was in the wrong room.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: The right person didn't see me, you know, like no, like,
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: oh no, let me get on and because of the
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: show I did see. I think it was like a
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: Twitter or ex or I don't know, some social media
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: posts where it's like I remember when a car got eliminated.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: My office was calling her phone calling her from Astrey
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: Stewart because we wanted to give her a deal with
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: Ashley Stewart.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: And it's so true. I remember them calling me.
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: They send a car, black car to my house, and
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: I thought that this is what happens to all the girls.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: I didn't even really realize that I was special like that,
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: But it is true, like they blew me up, shout
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: out to Ashley Stewart. They blew me down there and
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: it was fun. I didn't even have an agent. I
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: didn't have nothing. That's why I didn't know, you know,
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: and different people just saw after me once again because
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: I was on TV. People saw me and they came
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: for me. But Top Model gave me that platform. They
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: didn't necessary help me after the show, but then Tyrod did.
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: Once I would start doing Ashy Stewart, start doing other things,
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: and then you know, I worked with BT. So now
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: I'm in the circle. And so now I'm running into
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: Tyra or I moved to LA and so Tyra has
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: called me to work on her model land to you know,
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: do a photo shoot to be part of her talk show.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: You know, I was in Italian Vogue. I got fourteen
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: pages that wasn't because of Tyra that was because of
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: Tracy Christian. Thank you, Yeah, on and on.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: The thing is this, the reason why I love this
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: conversation is because two things can be true.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. I'm a fencer. I'm like this
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: two things.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: No no, no, no no, no, You're not a fencer. It's your reality.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: This is the thing.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: The reason why I had to really say, like, look, guys,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: they didn't contact a kara Eva and from my understanding,
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Yaga da Costa because publicly they've never said anything disparaging
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: about Tyra. And listen, I'm not here to defend Tyra
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: because Tyra, in my opinion, did a his poor job
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: defending herself.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: So I'm not here to do that.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: But what I am here is to offer that Look,
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: everybody had a different experience, and what I feel like, listen,
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: you and our friends in real life, so you never,
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: even our private conversations, ever say anything bad about your
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: experience of Tomado or Retira. And the thing is, I
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: think this what I'm hearing is I was a woman
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: who was going to get it by any means necessary,
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: in the sense of put me on and I'll take
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: care of the rest, because I'll let my ambition take
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: me and open up doors, because you really wanted this
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: same thing with Eva Eva one. But there's listen, there's
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: been twenty four other winners. Let's have a real conversation,
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: and Eva is the most. I don't think people understand
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: how Eva is relevant and that show her seas y'all
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: season on two thousand and five something like that. So
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: it is about the fact that everybody experience is different.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: And yes, when it comes to what they didn't help me,
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: I didn't look at that and say it's not the
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: producer's job.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: And so I said, did she owe us that? Did
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: she promise us that? No, they didn't.
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: Always they didn't say they were going to, Okay, you're
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: going to show it after the show, We're gonna take
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: care of you, We're gonna help you out, or you know,
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: there was no sideals. There was no we didn't get paid.
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: You know, nothing of those things happened. But I will
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: say this too watching the documentary, because I wasn't unaware
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: of a lot of these things too, because honestly, after
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: my season, I was popping.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: I really didn't watch the show.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: I didn't go back for the All Star and tyre
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: called me for that too, and I turned it down.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: She called me.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Again, like why did you turn it down?
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: Because I went' get paid?
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: They say he can't pay you, And it was like,
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: I'm working, I live in LA, I got bills. It's
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: like it's the world world. I'm getting offers. I did
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: Celebrity Fit Club, you know. And then I guess I
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: felt a little bad in hindsight because it's like, damn,
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: I guess I should have did didn't.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know.
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: I do feel a little bad that I didn't do
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: it because I did get my start, But I was like.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: What what is it going to do for me that
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: I'm not doing like I'm doing it.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: You're not getting paid.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: For everything? Yeah, but I'm there, I'm getting nothing. I'm
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: not getting nothing. That's not do you think that's messed up?
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: But I'm like, okay, I could see if you turned
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: it down and you felt like you should have got
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: more money, Like you give.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: Me something, I got bills to pay. You want me
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: to like not that, and.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: Listen, you weren't making offers in other places, I mean
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: getting offers in other places.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: So I don't think you should feel bad about that.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: Thank you, But what I was saying, thank you was that.
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: Was that when I watched the show right and I
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: see the other people's stories that I wasn't aware of
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: or knew about, it does make me feel like I
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: don't want to be I don't want to be friends
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: with someone who is nice to me but not not
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: nice to everyone else. Or I don't want to be
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: in a relationship with a man who's good to me,
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: but it's treating a waiter some kind of where, you know,
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: treating a valet some kind of way.
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: So it's like that fence because like just because they're
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: nice to you doesn't make it right, you know, how
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: they treat other people.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: That's like a character trait, you know.
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: So then it does my heart does go out to
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: the jays, you know, the contestants. You know, it's like,
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: once again, the truth is the truth. That wasn't right,
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: you know what's it right?
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: When you.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Heard Shandy story about.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Being said, and I'm saying sad because it's YouTube and
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: they have their they have regulations, but she mentioned being
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: said when she was drinking and she said, the producer said,
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: we're gonna buite the guys over to the house, and
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: they filmed her having sex. She said she was not
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: even in her right state of mind and she was
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: pretty much assaulted. When you hear her story about what happened,
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: and they filmed her contacting her boyfriend and you know,
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: she's crying and he's crying. And even when they asked
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Tyra like can talk about Shandy's story and she's like,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I think, what were your thoughts about.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: All of that?
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: That's what I mean about the vulnerability and the empathy.
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: And I guess also like watching everything that you know,
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: everything is online so you can see everything. And it's like, Tyra,
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: you did know you had her on a talk show,
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: you talked about that, you talked about editing, you talked
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: about the family. You know, you knew she didn't want
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: to see it, and it's like you just didn't validate her,
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: and then to do the documentary instill not But even
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: when is it, mister J, even when mister J and
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: the phone call, like you know and missus Jay, everybody,
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: I don't like you said she didn't do a good
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: job at defending herself.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: She she.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: She didn't do a good job at defending herself. I
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: don't know how I can defend somebody.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Who didn't do a good job at definished stuff.
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: And I'm not trying to defend her, right, I'm not
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: trying to defend her. She showed up, she did the interview.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm just speaking on my experience, and I
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: can't jump ship or change my experience. But I can
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: recognize what happened, and I can't see, you know, I
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: can see clearly like everybody else can see that that
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: wasn't right, you know, and.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: Right, that wasn't right.
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: A lot of things that happened. And once again, if
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: everyone got the same story, it gotta be some truth
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: in it. And even before I got on TV or Hollywood,
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: people used to talk about tier too, you know, godsaid
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: that she was.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: Cheap or not nice to people at restaurants or whatever.
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: These are just rumors.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: So I don't mean to keep spreading rumors, but just
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: to add to the narrative that we were talking about,
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: you know, she has have had a reputation of maybe
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: not being such the nicest person. And then to see
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: the contestants, I mean, I was there with Tiffany was
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: on the show too, you know, because but you know,
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: with the contestants, with the judges, it's just not nice
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: and it's heartbreaking.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: It's heartbreaking.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Were you shocked when you heard that Miss J who
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: at the time of filming and film last year, he suffered.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: A stroke, had a stroke. He taught her how to walk.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: You know, they've been friends and she was a teenager.
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: Both of them, mister J and missus J, been friends
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: with them since they were teenagers. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: It was just it was very heartfelt. And then like
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: missus J is my girl. She was like this, Yeah,
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: I love her too. And she felt like the most
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: closest to home on the show. You know, she was
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: like my black girlfriend. You know, she was like she
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: felt the closest to home on the show that we
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: could touch and talk to and interact with. So yeah,
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: and for her to try and even just everybody, I'm
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: just shocked, Like I I'm shocked, and I really can't
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: believe she I don't know, I don't you know what
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: I think?
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: So right, So this is my thing too for Tyra
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: right look at you right now.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: So she's the producer too, so she's coming from both
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: ends of it. She's trying to be professional and give
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: the correct answers.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: Or not put. I don't know what she was trying
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: to do, but.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: She had a guard up, right, so she was very
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: guarded and she wanted to give off. I don't know
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: what she thought she was even enough she missed the mark,
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: but I don't think that that was her intentions, right.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: She felt like she showed up. She felt like she
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: was you know, I don't know what she felt like.
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: I'm going to tell you, Okay, tell me.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know tyber Banks, right, I saw a woman
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: who chose she just like how they how they did
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: not contact y'all.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: They did contact her and she could have.
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: Said no, And I feel like they gave her a
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: test of her taste of her own medicine, because like
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: how we did reality and they edited too, and they
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: showed it like I don't know how the editing process
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: was too, but it was like the way they edited
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: too could have well did play a big part in
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: it because we don't know the funt well.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's a fair assessment, and that's why I
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: have to say, listen, I'm gonna give I'm gonna I
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: want to give my audience.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: The entire scope. What I will say is she chose.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: To do it.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: This woman who I adored.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Growing up watching her be a black woman creating a
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: show where she had ownership that is rare in this business.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: And for it to be a franchise in other countries,
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: that's insane.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: And that's what I think too, because it's like, what
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: do you do when you have that much power and
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: you have that much control?
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: Because we sit here and we can get criticize, or
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: we can come up with what I would do, what
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't do.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: But she did it right, and she had all this power,
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: all this fame, and.
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: I've I haven't had that kind of success, right, but
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: the type I have been tempted by things right, And.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: You don't know, Well, my thing is this, I'm gonna
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: tell you what I would have wished. I'm a producer,
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: I produced. My first reality job was two thousand and eight.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: I tell my brain drops. I wasn't an EP, I
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: wasn't an associate producer very much on the bottom of
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: total poll. I can look at that show and be like, oh, damn,
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: we did shoot Kim Zosiak having a rit solo cup
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: driving her car. Presumably it could be alcohol in it.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: We would never do that today. But I can look,
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: I can look with fresh eyes eighteen years later it Oh,
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: that wasn't great for us to shoot.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: But so it's.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: Acknowledging that, look at that time, some things not everything
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: that happened, but there are some things you could have said, like, uh,
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: I think the thing with Tyra was more so when
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: I say this, I'm not trying to be a mean
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: sold me. I think she's a narcissist. I think she
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: is somebody you can't tell.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Her what to do.
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I agree with you. I agree that she
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: is the bad guy. You know that she don't mind
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: being the bad guy, right, and that like whether you're
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: famous or infamous, you know, it's like someone gotta be
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: evil carel you know.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Like she no, no, no. The thing with Tyra for
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: me was you chose to do it because your ego.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: You could not have Netflix, the biggest streaming platform, talk
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: about a show you created, you and you're not a
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: part of it. And I think her ego got the
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: best of her. And to me, yes, you can make
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: mistakes in your professional career.
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: We all do.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: There's not one person breathing that can look back and say, oh,
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: I would have done things differently. We're human and that's
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: the beautiful thing about life is growth. However, the one
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: thing that Tyra has that you can't make up, edit
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: make mistakes about is your character.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Till this day, this man.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Taught you how to walk and that show was successful,
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Yes because of her, but baby, also because of him,
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: mister Jay and Nijo.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: The fact that you can't even.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: Say, baby, here's a couple of thousand we ain't gotta speak,
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: but here you go. Even the fact that mister Jay
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: is somebody who y'all grew up in the game together.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: And yes he quit, but during filming you will only
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: talk to him on camera and during breaks you would
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: give him a cold shoulder. Until this day, when they
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: brought up his name, you say I should call him.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: A year later he announced you haven't called him. That
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: to me is character. And that's of all the things
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: I was disappointed in the character of the woman. The
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: fact that outside of you not acknowledging your role in
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: the television production. And yes, she's right, bosses have bosses.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: She is one thousand percent right. She's one thousand percent right.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: When she had to defend herself against Les Moonvez where
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: they almost fought she was right in that reguard, but
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: acknowledge that, Hey, guys, I could have done things differently.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: Here I was.
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: I was trying to teach the girls how the modeling
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: industry was at a time, and guess what, I may
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: have failed them, and I'm sorry we all have been
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: like But to me, it was.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Her character of how till this day, these men who
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: made your show what it is too you can even
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: fly to meet them in your trench coat, but you
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: can fly to the green screen of a Netflix documentary.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: That to me is character. And I can't. I can't
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: reconcile that. I can't.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: You can't fly to visit this man in the hospital,
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: but you can fly to go to set and say.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Cycle twenty five, we have so much in store for you.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see Cycle twenty five.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: Well, you created was so magnificent in the sense of
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: it's in the pop culture history.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Let it go, sist, let it go?
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Would you would? Would you want to?
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: I mean I said this though earlier in the conversation,
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: that that is character, right. You don't want someone I
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: can't say, oh, well, my experience was nice, so she's
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: not this person. Two things could be true. They are true.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: That's terrible. The please you haven't even known me as
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: long as you've known these people. These are your friends,
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: your real friends, right You're sleeping in their beds, going
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: to their homes, You're having real conversations.
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: He's still so respectful.
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: It's I know things about her that I'm still not
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: going to talk about, right, So, like a true friend,
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: right So yeah, like no, that is character.
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: I'm a grown woman.
• 42:44
  Speaker 5: I would tell my child, I would tell my sister, like,
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: you know, watch out for people, how watch how they
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: treat other people. Watch believe people when they show you
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: who they are, you know, like, and everyone's not making
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: these stories up. It's a list. It was not just
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: one or two people who have a story. I think
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: the scale our weighs itself.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: Do you think it's unfair that Tyra is the only
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: person giving them backlash? And do you think mister J
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: Miss j Nigel, do you think they should also share
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: in some of that backlash too?
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: Yes? I think so.
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: I think they should share in some of the backlash too,
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: because they are the judges and you know, they were
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: key king and going along or whatever, you know, Like, yeah,
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: I think everyone should just admit to it.
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: It's fine.
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know it's twenty something, twenty plus years ago.
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: Twenty plus years ago. We are not the same people.
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: So yes, like missus J admitted it, Mister J admitted it.
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: He said, you know, he Tyra and Janice was going
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: at it, and so he would be a little more
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: feisy with Janet, you know, so you know, to help.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Tire out right, So you did say that.
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: He did say that, Yes, they they're they're just there
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: ca who I just to show, right, I did miss
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: stick House on the Shade Room.
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: I had judges.
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: I'm the host, you know, like, yeah, we and Caho's
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: we're friends, like the different layers, you know, So.
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they should sharing some of that, and I think
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: they are. That's what I say. They We're not giving it.
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: They're not putting the fire on them, but I think
• 44:24
  Speaker 5: if we did, they would, and I think they are
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: slowly omitting. Like yeah, you know, I've heard missus Jay,
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: mister J say like what I hear him say. I
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: don't want to misquote them, but basically they are he
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: has you know, like, did I make some bad choices
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: that I did not do?
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: Some things? You know, Yeah, it's not running from it.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: When it comes to the legacy of Top Model, do you.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Does it sadden you a bit? Because one thing that
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: Eva Togail King was it was like we were like
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: these sorority sisters, like we were part of this club
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: of top model girls. And she said the same thing
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: you said. She said, I had no idea what was
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: going on behind the scenes. It wasn't my experience. However,
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: I can acknowledge what I've been shown and that that's
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: messed up. Does it sad in you a bit that
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: this show that, for all intents and purposes, we know
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: you because of that show.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: We know Eva because of that show. Same with y'all, y'all.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: The list goes on and on.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: Is it sad that this show that made Jorn famous
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: and gave y'all a big break is now being diminished
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: based on this dark cloud that's not over it?
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: Do I think it's being diminished?
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: Like there's a negative stain?
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: And now I never looked at it like that. But
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: the truth is I was on cycle three.
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: After certain cycles anyway, we already they had to staying
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: a stigma to it. They said it, you know, in
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: the documentary, it's like Oh, she's a top model girl.
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: So girls thought that they were going to America's next
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: Top Model and because they were on Top Model that
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: doors were open, but doors were shut because they were
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: on Top Model.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: No, that wasn't That's what I'm saying. But I was
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: in season three.
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: I was there before that started before I don't know
• 46:34
  Speaker 5: when it began, but lucky for me that I was
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: in the beginning before it had that type of stigma
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: to it.
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: Brandy another winner, that's the one who said that it
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: opened up no doors for her, and there was this
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: negative connotation that the modey industry felt that if you
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: came from that show, we don't want from.
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: All the girls, all the top model girls because they
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: were looking at me. And so when they would come
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: to me to Carra well you know, and they would
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: tell me this. So I did hear this, like they
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: don't want us because they don't want me because I
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: was on Top Model, or I've been turned away because
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: I was on Top Model. They yeah, this was then
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: it was said verbally like that that there was a
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: hard time because I was on the show. I've heard
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: it from multiple girls in real time back then. So
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: this that that part wasn't new to me.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: Danielle said that.
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: When she and that broke my heart when I heard
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: Danielle and she said that. Tyra said, yeah, there were
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: doors that you rooms that you didn't come into because
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: you know, I was on the fence with you, you know,
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: or I didn't give you the stemp of approval or
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: however way she phrased that, And that's very hurtful. And
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: I felt like, Wow, why would you even say that?
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: Like what was if you did that, that's terrible. And
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: then too to admit it and say it years fifteen
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: years later. That's so hurtful. That's just like another like job.
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: I feel like when you say things out your mouth,
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: you should ask yourself, isn't necessary?
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: Is it kind?
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: I think, don't just let things. I thought that was
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: I thought that was fucked up.
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: No, it is, it is, it's it's it's it's I
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: don't know. I what what what would you like for
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: Tyra to do? If Tyra is watching right now, Sokara,
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: what would.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: You say to her?
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: I love you so much, Carlos King? If what would
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: I like.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: Tyra to do or know or hear from you? Because

  Speaker 2: in your defense.
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: You.
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: You know what I think, I do.
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: This is what I think, and I've always thought this,
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: and I believe I've always said this too. I do
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: wish that Tyra, and I know it was not her responsibility,
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: she don't owe it to us or anything, but I
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: would have loved if she would have really made us
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: into a sorority or a you know, just like we.
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: I probably need to do it.
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: I'm about to start a top Model association or something
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: really because we all these beautiful girls, all these we
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: could have had an agency. I don't know, just so
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: much potential that was just left and no one came
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: along to help or pick us up. Like I do
• 49:29
  Speaker 5: wish that there was some after maths, some after care
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: for us.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: I do wish that. I do wish that.
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: And even when we're like other shows they would do
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: things with their contestants, you know, I don't know, like
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: Real World or it was like other shows that would
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: take their contestants and maybe they made them do competitions.
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: Or do you know, it was just different things.
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: You know that different networks too, you know VH one,
• 49:55
  Speaker 5: B Table, you know, bring people back and do reunion
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: shows or you know, like just yeah, maybe.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: You're on the real world, then you could be.
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: On the own exactly.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: Now I kind of got traders and you you were
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: on this show, you know, like where is ours? Why
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: are we not doing the like yeah, I really wish
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: that that we had opportunity to do that. That would
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: have been awesome.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: Well, it was the last time you communicated or had
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: any communication.
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: The last time I talked to Tyr we were I
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: was actually working with her on her model lamp. Well,
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: I wasn't working with her, but she called me to
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: do some merch what you call it. Yeah, so we
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: did a photo shoot but it never got released. And
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: that was back right before the pandemic happened. And then
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: she switched up because I don't know if you remember
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: the model lamp, remember model? And so after that, now
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: she's doing ice cream. And that hurt my feelings too,
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: because I did hear her say, hey, my legacy I wanted.
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: You know, just like beauty is fading. You know.
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: It was vanity, which is true, which is like, but
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: I want my legacy to be ice cream.
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: It's like you have you already? Yeah that hurt, No,
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: that hurt No, no.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not laughing at that part. I'm just laughing
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: at the fact that.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: You listen, I'm gonna give this black woman all the
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: props in the world legendary supermodel.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: Legacy.
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: Just I mean, I sometimes and y'all do to watch
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: her runaway walks and mama had the I and the
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: T inmy award winning talk show host. Yes, do you
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying? And to say that I want
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: my legacy to be ice cream is wild. And that's
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: the reason why.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: Listen. Everything happens for a reason.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: If I was Tabard Banks and I knew I wasn't
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: going to give any rulnerability, I would not have as
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: it would have been because the thing is this, if
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: if and this is why you gotta have a good
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: team around you and listen, maybe her team just say like,
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: you are in no position based on what you're telling guys,
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: even do that. I would have been like, let me
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: see what y'all to say first, and I would have
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: watched it and been like, okay, and maybe release a
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: statement and that would have been it. But but but
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: to you are a forever meme. People ticked how you
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: you She's a forever meme. If if if I make
• 52:40

• 52:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not.
• 52:44
  Speaker 5: Apologizing, Yes, and this is That's what I'm saying.

  Speaker 2: Right, She may like that.

  Speaker 4: She might like that somebody got.
• 52:54
  Speaker 5: To be the bad guy, and and usually those are
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: the people who get the most attention. Anyway, she probably
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: we probably we probably it probably would have just passed
• 53:04
  Speaker 5: us by. If she would have just home, we would
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: have for gave reel tyrant and I would have been it.
• 53:10
  Speaker 5: We would it would have been going on. It wouldn't
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: still be going on. She would have been there forever.
• 53:15
  Speaker 5: Means I'm just saying, I'm just paying devil's advocate. I
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: never thought about that this she made like this.
