Sure, Tyra Banks may be 30 pounds heavier now, but she says she still feels hot, and doesn't see why people are so interested in her weight anyways.
Even though the Americas Next Top Model host has always stressed the importance of having body confidence, she says it still hurt when the tabloids posted a picture of her in a bikini with the words Americas Next Top Waddle and Tyra Porkchop.
She tells People Magazine, "I get so much mail from young girls who say 'I look up to you, you're not as skinny as everyone else, I think you're beautiful', so when they say my body is 'ugly' and 'disgusting', what does that make those girls feel like?"
Banks says that since she has retired modelling in 2005, her numbers on the scale constantly fluctuate between 148 and 162 lbs, depending on how good she is being to herself.
Personally, I think she looks amazing, and I dont think its fair for tabloids to say mean things about her like that. Shes beautiful.
