Tyra Banks: New Sports Illustrated Cover

She has clearly lost a lot of weight since that fat photo was taken on that beach. Which begs the question, why go on and on about how you are so not fat and get all preachy about everything if she went and (probably) crash dieted to lost the weight that fast…

I’ve seen tons of white women on this site and even tho we all know that most to [all] photos get airbrushed for some reason people never seen to bring it up. which is completely cool with me. but as soon as Tyra a black women has a photo on here the first thing that’s said is its airbrushed, and photoshopped.

I’m sure half of those statements was made cause people were bored. but everyone can tell she isn’t fat, photoshopped or not. black females catch way to much slack. theres something wrong when Britney Spears gets more love than Tyra Banks does.

for somoene who “doesn’t have to live up to that standard”, she sure is trying to show everyone that she still got it, pleaasse

tyra Bank is beautiful and a good person from what she seems and to be honest i dont care if she is fat ,skinny or ugly whatever she is i like her for her personality and people who are saying that tyra only puts skinny girls through ANTM is so not true almost 3 cycles they had a plus size woman even if they didnt make it in top5 but still tyra supports plus size woman, tyra support both ways of beauty plus size and size 0 woman !!!!

ok so EVERY magazine photo goes through a lot of photoshopping regardless of what ethnicity you are. Make up can only go such a long way. Don’t underestimate the power of photoshop, haven’t you seen that dove commercial? And it might be the same suit just in a different size, which would be reason why the dots don’t line up the same way.

Just for the record=All of us are 100% African descent! Some of our ancestors moved to other places and adapted. And if that offends you then let’s just be honest-WE ARE ALL ONE RACE-HUMAN-There are issues on both sides and lest we forget, black or white-as long as we are american we have some ppl who hate us more than we hate each other-so much so, that they will die trying to kill us!

Hey 41…

That’s just a theory.

Sorry honey but there’s not distinctive proof that everyone came from Africa. I know they may have taught that to you in school but it’s just a theory. Sure there are fossils. But that’s it. If you really go by that logic the first fish to breath air was found on Ellesmere Island. Are we all from there then?

So preach elsewhere. Just for the record.

Maybe it’s just the quality of the scan, but that purple space between her breasts looks very odd and distracting.

Look closely - I say NOSE JOB. Perhaps she had a deviated septum as well; although she sleeps alone just like Aniston does, so who cares if she snores.

O for crying out loud! The cover photo has been airbrushed so much I don’t think we can even call it a photo anymore. Her skin looks plastic.
I agree with everyone who says that she should either stick to her ‘fat and proud’ story or just stop lying and pretending to be a hero to all plus sized girls. I don’t think she looks bad now but if she had her photos altered so much then she obviously isn’t very happy with her body, and that makes everything that she says not only annoying but also hypocritical.

I don’t even understand why race was being played here on this blog…when I first saw the photo, I didn’t say “black Tyra was airbrushed” or “why does black Tyra have hazel eyes?” That is ridiculous…anyone who cannot discuss the photo rather than bringing up race have their own issues to deal with…

I saw the photo and thought, “she doesn’t look 1/2 bad even if it is airbrushed.” Haven’t any of you read or looked at fashion mags? The cover models are always airbrushed along with the editorial pictures and ads…airbrushing is nothing new and as far as I can remember it hasn’t mattered what race or ethnic background you are…the mags are always gonna erase the stretch marks, cellulite, pimples, etc…that is just a fact…I mean, when Demi Moore posed for Vanity Fair nude while pregnant, did you really believe there weren’t stretch marks somewhere??

Personally, I don’t care either way…I’m not sure why this is an issue…I have always found Tyra beautiful the same way I do other models…and anyone who calls her fat has a warped view on beauty or is trying to start some serious debate…if you say she is fat, then you’re fighting on the side of all the fashion critics who believe 100 lb. models are curvy and fabulous…we need some more curvy role models so young girls can avoid eating disorders and a warped perspective on their own body image…

Angelina - one word for you - PSYCHO!

Airbrushing probably yeah … but there’s always or a lot of airbrushing in celebrity photos.. haven’t you all worked that out yet? That’s why they all look as skinny as models in Vogue… not realistic,..come on ladies get with the progam, you are being brain washed into thinking that everyone’s that thin.
Give Tyra a break. At least she looks natural and is trying to be honest…and not overloaded with plastic surgery or botox like a lot of her contemporaries.. Cindy Crawford & Linda Evangelista for one…

She is beautiful for sure.
And intelligent.
But she certainly got old, put on some weight..
But calling her FAT Tyra is way too much, people…she used ti be skinny, now she’s normal…in fact..she must be skinnier than most of America’s population for sure.
Of course it was photoshoped..but most of magazine’s covers are..even if it’s a Gisele Bündchen cover.
Tyra looks great, cause she’s beautiful and beu]ing beuatiful doesn’t depends that much on how much u weight.
Look at Nicole Richie: thin as hell and still ugly.

And ‘im not a fat woman defending another fat woman.

I’m sure that she looks 100 times better than the ones who are talking trash on here.
